martin6 Â Â 10 #13 Posted October 24, 2016 Anyone in the world can buy a virtual number anywhere in the UK, the 0161 number probably bears no resemblance to the originator of the call. Â I'm starting to get ppi/ crash claims from new 0114 4 numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Fudbeer   12 #14 Posted October 24, 2016 I get so many scam calls I only answer now if I know the number or am expecting a call.  If someone wants me they can leave a message.  Be aware some of these callers are very convincing and have well rehearsed answers to every objection you come up with,sadly they prey on the old and vulnerable.

Tomm06 Â Â 12 #22 Posted March 2, 2017 I received a particularly good one today. Apparently BMW have randomly chosen me to be the new owner of a brand new top of the range 2016/17 BMW X7 Â ... They just need to actually make it first, but when/if BMW ever get round to it, I'm top of the queue it seems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
