Nuisance phone calls (UK)
Annoying phone calls!
If anyone else is getting calls that hang-up straight-away, it is possible you are the victim of a computer!
Having spoken to BT about it, companies are using a new cold-calling system that dials a computer generated number and then tries to connect to an available sales operator when you answer. If no-one is available, it hangs-up.
Quite a PITA, and there are 2 ways of stopping it- both 'free':
1) Telepreferencing 0800398893 take 28 days to remove your number from marketing cold-call access.
2) Silentguard 087004443969 (claim) to immediately remove your number from this computer system. I registered on Saturday so fingers crossed!
