Calls just keep coming one after another. How many times do I have to say no till they finally understand???

They’ve rang me like ten times within just five hours, it’s really getting annoying.

Over the past few days, I’ve had about a dozen calls from this number, and they keep coming back, often just minutes apart. It seems like they call in clusters - maybe three or four calls close together, then nothing for a while, then another round later on. Like many, I don’t just pick up every random call these days unless it’s arranged beforehand. The days when ringing phones meant something important are gone, thanks to how marketers have ruined it. If you’ve been getting calls from this number, don’t bother trying to ring back. It’s actually a spoofed number, created using software to trick your phone into thinking it’s real. That means there’s definitely some dodgy business going on here. Anyone genuinely wanting to get in touch would pick up fairly quickly that their callbacks aren’t getting through. Networks often say something like “this number is not in use” when you try. The number starts with 0176, and the next digit helps narrow the area, but it’s all a fake. Caller ID says Unknown, and it’s clear this number isn’t valid or active.

Watch out with calls from Real Life Services. I just got a ring from them and after asking quite a few questions, it seemed like they’re pushing services like cheaper utility bills and bank refunds. The caller spoke a lot, trying to convince me, but I couldn’t figure out how I’d given them permission to contact me - no boxes ticked or anything like that. They did have quite a bit of my info though, which might fool a lot of people. They even knew my utility providers. They mentioned their website, bankrefunds.net. Just so you know, if you visit that site normally, your computer info can be tracked. The safest way to check it out is using a private or anonymous browser session. But private mode in most browsers (except Firefox) mainly stops cookies and files being saved on your end, it doesn’t stop the site from seeing your IP address. So if you want to be really safe, try using an anonymous browser along with private mode. Honestly, I’m not saying Real Life Services are dodgy, the lady I spoke to was quite polite. It’s a bit annoying that when companies call, they don’t just give follow-up details like a direct number or website without having to ask for it. It really wouldn’t be that difficult. If they don’t get this sorted, phone marketing like this will just get harder and more people will just avoid it. It’s only going to be seen as riskier and misused. - Caller said it was Real Life Services.
