Got a call from these numbers 01427873619 and 01427897075, sounded like an Asian accent. They said they were from Microsoft. Seemed fishy to me.

01425610984 'Hi? This is David speaking (really heavy Indian accent), said they wanna fix my broadband issues'. I just chuckled, they quickly ended the call, so I blocked them using BT Call Protect.

Got loads of calls where no one says a word when I pick up. It's really frustrating, especially being older and minding others. They really ought to be stopped or face consequences for causing such hassle.

I usually ignore calls from these numbers. They never bother to leave a voicemail. Got a call from another 0142 number today, picked up once but no one spoke? I don't know anyone from Halifax at all.
