got another strange call from this number 05601126483 and cant find any info on it. They only rang once before hanging up so didnt get to answer it in time.
Just before this call I had just managed to get off a 15 minute phone call from a company trying to give away holiday vouchers and free UK breaks and asking to book me and hubby in for an "appointment" at their office for next friday - the man was adament it wasnt timeshares and they weren't trying to flog something, but it seems weird. I told him we couldnt make the appointment as it was a) too far away and b) we'd be at work. He wants to call back as for some reason he wants to get us booked in for an appointment to claim our vouchers lol!!! Does it seem a bit fishy? Didnt tell me what the company's name was and he sounded rather nervous on the phone!
I get no end of weird calls. :rotfl:

A quick google search on a 0560 number brought up various results all pointing to one thing: marketing.

Hi Natasha,
That looks like a BT Talk number; I have BT Talk and the number starts 05601.
Check with your friends if they have BT Talk.
HTH,

Or it may be an autodialer - they call several numbers at once, but only connect to the one which gets answered first.0
