I’ve had calls from this number three times within just a week. It rings a couple times then stops. The caller ID shows it as a London number, but since I never pick up calls from unknown numbers, I don’t actually know who it is.

I usually don’t pick up my home phone if I don’t know the number, so when I checked this site it backed up my guess that it was a dodgy call. I reported it to the ICO just yesterday. And guess what? The same number rang me again today, same time too. I’ve gone ahead and blocked it now. Just can’t help but worry how many folks who aren’t as careful might have fallen for this nasty scam.

Somebody said they were from GDCC and followed their usual spiel. I asked if they could give me the name of the person to contact for a survey later on. Then they said “just a moment please.” I looked up the number that had rung me four times in one day but never said much, just weird noise in the background. I got back in touch with the caller and told them what's up - if their colleagues won’t even have a proper chat with me, then I’m not wasting my time with them either.

Answered a couple times, always a different woman claiming it's some UK talent agency or whatever, dunno. Told them off and asked to be removed every single time before hanging up. They've been ringing nonstop, even woke me and my missus up on a Sunday once! They leave these weird voicemails full of just background noise, no message at all. So annoying.

I just got another ring from G.D.C.C., claiming they want me to join some survey happening in a few months. I asked the lady to say the company's name again, nice and slow so I could catch it properly - and she did. Then I told her I need to speak to a manager. Why? Because I’ve already told this lot to stop calling me. She asked for a contact name, phone number and email to pass on so someone could get back to me. No thanks. I told her to put me through to a manager immediately, as long as they can actually speak English and have some sense. Then she just hung up on me!

In the past three days, this number has rung me 7 times and I've just ignored it after reading some of the warnings here. I've been on the TPS list for ages, but apparently that doesn't stop these scammers from calling. I caught a Crime/Fraud Watch episode on telly recently, and they said if you do pick up, just call them out as SCAMMERS straight away. Apparently, they'll hang up quick and stop hassling you again. I haven't given it a go myself yet though.

Still, I wouldn’t confirm anything until he told me the purpose, which he never did. So, I ended up hanging up.
