Just had a call from this number…again….english bloke on the other end just said ‘er sorry wrong number’. If he is trying to sell something he’s not doing a very good job!

Hey Lee couldn’t figure out how to reply on my phone, unfortunately you’re right, any company using an international number can bypass it, the company I worked for use to use international numbers even though we was based in London and now I see why, cheeky buggers.

I have TPS and can tell you that most definitely doesn’t stop unwanted calls! Legally, I believe any company can circumvent it anyway by calling from outside the UK can’t they?

I know this is a 3yr old listing, but I just got a call from this number,
your response was brilliant.

When they call from the UK i usually say in a quiet voice…
“Excuse me sir, where did you get this number from?”
“from a list”
“Which list, this is a secure government facility, where did you get the number”

at which point they usually hang up.

I just got a call from this number, it was PPI, she tried to tell me I have a loan (I do not) and when I asked her how she got my number she replied “It was on our database” I said “how did you get my information for your database, I didn’t hand it too PPI” she then said “Ok thank you bye bye”

Just to let you all know, I worked for BT, I recommend you all call your current providers and ask for the TELEPHONE PREFERENCE SERVICE (TPS), it’s a free service that blocks all these kind of calls for you!

Thats interesting Ian – are TalkTalk saying this is a blanket number used to designate ALL marketing calls or is it specific to just one particular marketing company?

I have been getting a lot of calls from this 091148 number for the last few months. Every time I try to answer the phone it hangs up.

Well I don’t know if this helps people but I am with Talk Talk and I just spoke to their customer services who immediately transferred me to their technical department.

The technician I spoke to informed me that when the caller ID is showing 091148 it indicates someone is trying to phone me with a marketing call. The reason it hangs up when I answer it is because I have paid to block marketing calls and so the Talk Talk system automatically shuts off the call. I’m quite please the for once someone seems to have this service right.

formally the owner of ‘chilwell manor’ attempting to get 50% off two kitchens (one for the manor and one for servants quarters) from a cold phonecaller. they thought they were on to something and got the hump when sales rep got to non existant address (postcode in sat-nav……you’ve got to love ‘em!) for appointment. never called me back, wonder why.
