I've had quite a few phone calls since I started comping (despite opting out wherever possible) - they have all been multiple calls and googling results indicates spam - however I got this one (01226705046) on Friday and can't find any record of it online (other than that it's a Barnsley area code). Any ideas?
I rang it back Friday night and it just rang for ages, then tried again yesterday afternoon and kept getting a busy tone.
Since I haven't won anything yet, I don't know what's the norm - do they tend to ring more than once or leave a message? Is it best to just wait to see if they ring again or call them back?
Before I started comping I never ever gave my number out, other than to family/friends, so I never get random calls from numbers I don't know, which is why I'm curious about this one.
Bit of a shot-in-the-dark, probably just a random wrong number!

I just called it there, it's something "homes" or "holmes", that doesn't help, but if you call them now someone will answer
But at least you know it's not ITV or something 0 -
Thanks for your help

They actually rang me again, it was for a home valuation - this does sound vaguely familiar, but I'm sure I opted out (or I certainly wouldn't consciously not have) - never mind mystery solved!0
