Got a call at my job from this number claiming to be Barclays saying I had a refund waiting. I asked to talk to a manager, but they just went quiet after I told them to delete my info from their system. I also mentioned they'd contacted a proper high street bank and said I’d be reporting the number 01189005596 to the fraud team. Watch out for this one.

I’ve no clue who this number might be. It’s the first occasion I’ve picked up a call from it, but if it’s like most of the annoying calls I get, I’m sure it’ll ring back repeatedly. Oddly enough, this is the first time I’ve had a call from them on a Sunday - usually they leave you alone at weekends. I guess they’re trying to sell something, maybe insurance, phone deals, or one of those dreadful PPI claim scams.

This number's unfamiliar to me so I let it ring out. They rang about 4:08pm on Thursday the 14th of August 2014 - funny how the time and date line up like that! My signal's rubbish anyway, so even if I'd picked up, it would have dropped out. These kinds of calls really bother me, they feel creepy and are just a nuisance.

While staying in Kyoto, I got a call from this number at 12.45am. I quickly rejected it without paying much attention since I know receiving calls abroad can be pricey. Later, I glanced at the number and started worrying because I have relatives in Reading and feared it might be something urgent like a hospital. Tried calling back but no reply. If only I’d checked this site earlier, I could’ve avoided 10 minutes of stress! I’ve saved the site now - really handy, thanks a lot!
