I always google the numbers I don't know & look at the web site Who Called Me, I googled your number 020 7871 8557 & it's been searched nearly 12 thousand times, a few people have commented saying it's a HMRC scam / PPI Claim, so you can rest assure. If you are not sure just google. I always use to panic if I had a missed call after 4 but now I know it should be withheld & before 4.10pm (Thanks guys)elusiveman said:
Really hoping this wasn’t me! I did get a call about 4:28 yesterday that I missed from a London number, but it seems like that might be a bit too late for them to call given if I did win, they’d need extra time to get the segment on air at the usual time. At least that’s what I’m telling myself haha. Would definitely be good to know for a fact they call between 4:00-4:10 which would make the most sense to me.Bridger12 said:Wednesday- 5 rings no pickup, £110,000 not won today.

Random number was 020 7871 8557 in case anyone recognises it.

In general the call seems to come from a Withheld number, but this may not always be the case for different competitions on different radio stations, since I recall some winners stating they were called from a shown numberdowningarms88 said:This question has no doubt been asked dozens of times before but does the call come from a private number ?3 -

Does anybody else find it disconcerting that Tatum (the presenter) keeps saying how the number called "only entered an hour ago"? This edition of the competition has been running for that long I would expect far less of the numbers picked to be recent entries.
It also does seem a real shame that there are so many no pickups/voicemail/hellos when there are so many of us here who would happily relieve Bauer Media Group of their money!10
