There’s been a couple more too, like 01229 200016 and 01239 200114, both flagged as spam on my caller ID, so I just ignored those as well. Not sure if they’re legit or not, but I’d rather be safe than sorry and just avoid answering.5 yearsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise.6 yearsJust ignored the call, didn't bother picking up.6 yearsSame experience here, just a quiet rip-off with no words said.
