catmag 336 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I've just answered the phone at home to be met with what sounded like a recorded answerphone message telling me that the person was calling to arrange delivery of my radio and that I should phone an 0701... number to sort it out. Now having not ordered a radio from anywhere I suspect it's one of them dodgy 'phone the number back and be charged a fortune for it' scams. I've checked the number and it's a 50p a minute number so they can get stuffed. Anyone had anything similar happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 36236 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Never happened to me, but it sounds like the latest generation of twatful arseholes preying on the stupid/vulnerable. You can imagine some poor old lady ringing the number out of politeness to inform them she hasn't ordered anything. Did those dodgy hang-up calls that you were getting stop btw? I'm assuming they did. Remember a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catmag 336 Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 Thinking about it, what does someone get out of making dodgy phonecalls to people? I've never quite understood it. It's surely one of the most pathetic things you can do. Some people need to seriously get a life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's surely one of the most pathetic things you can do. Some people need to seriously get a life. Sick in the heed man. Especially that thing when they were doing it to you, if you're a lass living by yourself, it must make you wonder whether it's just some dickhead that's picked a number at random who's getting their kicks out of it, or whether they're actually watching you/trying to work out if you're out or something. Like you say though, it's canny pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
