Receiving calls that I cantvtrace

alangent

Hi, I'm getting lots of calls on my phone from places that I know I don't deal with like Consett, Ripon, Benbecula, etc.
Usually I miss the calls but when I rang a couple back its was the same intro and holding music. I tried blocking a London number but somehow they bypass that and keep ringing me.
Anyone come across this before?

It's very easy for a call centre to spoof the number they appear to be phoning from. There isn't much you can do to prevent it on a mobile.

Simple rule...

If you have no idea who called, and especially if the number starts 070, 084, 087 or 09, do not call it back. If they didn't leave a message, then it is unlikely that whatever they have to say will be of any interest.
