    Sooo I got a call from a +44 121 number at 3:49PM, that I didn’t see. I let my guard down because I saw from this forum they tend to call around 3:10 ish. I figured they wouldn’t call this late, because that would be literally live. Can’t call the number back, ‘Number is unrecognised’

    Can’t but worry I’ve missed out!

    Thoughts?

    They call from a witheld/no caller id. Try googling the number and you will likely find out that you received a scam call.

    I did try googling the number and nothing came up, apparently it’s never been searched before which is why I was so uncertain.

    But knowing they call with no caller ID puts my mind at ease. Thank you!

    15:49 is also way too late for it to be the call. I let my guard down at 15:15.

    Since Jambo posted about the missed call at 3:49, probably taking a minute or so to create the post, your call cannot be from the comp simply by that fact. Anyhow, as previously mentioned, the call usually comes between 3pm and 3:15/3:20 ish and from a Withheld (or similar depending on your network) number, is recorded, edited and transmitted sometime after 3:30pm.

    Thank you Blu.

    I found this on the page you posted with 12 phone numbers (I've entered via all 12) but I don't understand how I get 42 entries per day.

    PHONE

    I asked the same question, probably a week ago. Apparently, it doesn’t make any difference which number/s you use. So I just stick to one number and keep dialling until it tells me I’ve reached my limit for today.
