another possible scam

Kate:
We have signed up to that service, but if the calls are outside the Uk you will still receive them, they mainly come from companies who are trying to get you to enter competitions.  It is a pain in the A**E, I don't answer them as they come though as an UNAVAILABLE number.

The preference service just stops marketing companies from using your no. it will not stop joe bloggs from making nuisance calls.

Hi, we have that service from telewest ,  caller id & no withheld numbers but still get sellers trying to get through wifey is very polite & says no thank you ( normally about 10 times), if i pick it up they get F**K O*F & slam phone down!! they never call back, men in suits with holy books who keep pestering at front doors dont call to our house anymore, dont know why :?

Kate:
Its funny that you saying men in suits.  Jake s terrible when it comes to those people, he always invites them in and gets them to talk,  it can annoying or embarrassing he does like to go off on one.

By the time they leave they can't wait to get out.

--- Quote from: "strapping young lad" ---got a call today from BT

it says this is a text message for you via bt and it played a jingle

now my guess is that this reverse charges your phone as ive never heard of this service before and quite miffed.

As Budgie said you can send text messages nowadays to landlines, try sending one to yourself then you will know what it sounds like (so you don't miss messages from friends say).

If it doesn't sound like the one you had before then it probably was a scam.
