I’ve been inundated with calls lately from some so-called "market research" firm named "multi gym," clamouring for my thoughts. It’s been quite the nuisance! I’ve employed a call blocker to try and curb the interruptions, but the pesky lot keep ringing from a myriad of different numbers, including quite a few from abroad. It’s becoming a headache as I have to block each one individually. Can you believe I’ve received eight calls in just the past forty-eight hours? This has been my rather frustrating experience here in Scotland.

I received yet another call from this number today. A chap on the line, speaking in English, asserted that he was with a tech firm from their call centre in India. I absolutely lost my temper and told him, along with his entire dodgy outfit, to quit bothering me and that they'd best never ring me again. Quite often, they ring without any caller ID, and there are stretches when I'm pestered up to ten times daily! It's like being harassed. My phone service provider seems utterly powerless to stop these nuisances; they can't block them. It's utterly absurd!

Ik heb gisteren ook een telefoontje gehad van dit nummer (8 februari 2012).

I've received a rather suspicious call from a place purporting to be "World of Service." They were quite persistent, ringing me three times in total, with the last attempt coming from this number, while the earlier ones were sans caller-ID. The individual on the other end requested that I install something called Ammy_admin. For those who might not be aware, that's a remote access tool that could potentially give them control over my machine. If you happen to receive a call from this number, I wholeheartedly advise against engaging with them. Ensure you protect your information and never permit anyone to have access to your computer. Stay vigilant and don’t take any chances!

I got a call today regarding some supposed fix for 'mywindowslaptop'-the way they said it made it sound like one sprawling word! I informed the chap on the line that I had absolutely no need for any windows upgrades, to which he quite audibly frustratedly corrected me, insisting he wasn't in the business of selling windows but rather repairing computer glitches. At that point, I simply told him he was just wasting my time and hung up.

I received a phone call on the 6th of November, 2014, from someone claiming to represent Microsoft. They requested my consent to remotely access my computer, saying they needed to assist me with an issue.

It appears I was mistaken; the number isn't from Israel as I initially thought (I seemed to have overlooked a digit). The 0016 code actually pertains to the Big Flats region in upstate New York. However, there’s a strong chance that the call is coming from India. The timing seems a bit uncanny, considering that during my previous visit, I was inundated with robocalls regarding Israeli soldiers reported 'missing in action.' Those calls turned out to be linked to a government-funded initiative that wasn't particularly rare. This recent call seems more in line with typical scam activities, as outlined in this comprehensive article on tech support scams: http://blog.malwarebytes.org/tech-support-scams/. The whole scenario could simply be a coincidence. For further insight into these schemes, take a look at this in-depth explanation: http://indiancallcenterscam.blogspot.nl/, and here's a Wikipedia page that delves deeper: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_support_scam#cite_note-mbam-1.

I received a call from an Israeli number (Golan Telco = 016). It's rather rare to receive calls like this, especially considering it came an hour and a half after I hastily arranged a flight to Tel Aviv. It’s likely just a standard pre-flight check by either the government or perhaps a contractor working with them or the airline. No cause for alarm here-definitely preferable to those dodgy hacks that tout tech support, claiming to assist with a 'problem' for Microsoft.

I've been receiving calls from 0016075628977 without my consent... it's quite annoying!
