7 yearsThese lot just won’t stop trying to scam folks. I always make sure to report every call I get to the Information Commissioner’s Office, they’re the official ones who handle this kind of thing.

It’s really frustrating how it never stops.8 yearsGot a call from 01246235553, just like everyone else seems to get. It was one of those computer scam calls.

If you could keep reporting it, hopefully they’ll sort the number out quickly.
