Phone numbers

Hello all, Just wondering if there is a thread in here for telephone numbers?

I've been getting different numbers calling me for the last days (landlines not mobiles). The majority I suspect are spam since I keep clicking "yes" instead of "no" on the mag dailies. I missed a call today with a different number. I've searched it on google and nothing comes up and just rings out when I try to call it back.

Hoping its a winning call but something tells me its those pesky scammers!:p

    Is it an 020 number? I've had a few of those since I entered a magazine giveaway and only as I hit submit did I notice the message saying they'd be in contact by phone. Presumably to try to sell me a subscription.
    As it's on my mobile I'm not answering on the basis that it's got voice mail and if it's that important they can leave me a message.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
