Who Is Calling My Mobile

greyteam1959

Getting numerous calls to my mobile from 01315168518.
Call rings several times & cuts off.
Googling the number does not help.
Anybody any idea who it is ??
I am sure is a scammer...................

01315 is Edinburgh.

If you don't know anyone there, assume it's a telemarketer/scam and block the number.

Could it perhaps be a human being who wants to speak to you?


Strange I know, but don't rule it out.


Why not answer it and see???

Amazes me the number of people who wont answer a call if they dont know the number :eek:

Ha I keep trying to answer the calls but they only ring maybe twice or three times & by the time I have got the phone out of my pocket or picked it up off the table it has stopped.
Bloomin' annoying..........

Most of the time I am called from a number I don't know it is a spam call. The few times it is a legitimate call the caller tends to leave a message. Therefore I tend not to answer calls from numbers I don't recognise.

You could try checking on whocalledme as this will show you feedback on type of call if anyone has spoken to them or even if many have had calls cut short like you. Totally understand not answering unknown numbers; quite apart from not wanting to waste my time, I think the less feedback scam callers get from a number, the less likely they are to call again.

If your time is too precious to waste leaving me a message, my time is too precious to waste talking to you.

Usually these days its a computer waiting for you to say something before transferring you to the scam artist, I mean human.

But just enter the number in Google is you want to know.

That used to help but most of the time it doesn't now.

Scammers now ensue they use fictitious numbers so if you enter the number the OP quoted it does not help at all.

We are still getting calls from Talktalk scammers even though we have now left Talktalk. We have daily calls from them with different fictitious numbers every time so blocking a number does not work any more. We never answer calls now unless the caller is on our contacts list.

Google usually brings up an identification but not in this case.
