I received a call from this number not long ago. The chap who called seemed overly inquisitive about our home situation and various other details, which struck me as rather odd. Thankfully, we weren't at home at the time, but it appears they managed to squeeze some information out of my grandmother. Fortunately, nothing too alarming surfaced, but still, it left me feeling rather uneasy.

HERE TODAY, GONE TOMORROW-A FLY-BY-NIGHT AFFAIR AND VIRTUAL OFFICES GALORE! Beware of unregulated "investments" targeting the unsuspecting! Even the sharpest among us can succumb to the lure of a clever pitch. If they're trying to sell something to you-the average bloke on the street-then it's already too late, and the whole operation might just be on the brink of collapse (if it ever had any worth!). Don't be tempted to jump on board just as it’s about to go down with all hands on deck! Take caution with UK London numbers provided by platforms like Skype; they might not be as trustworthy as they seem. Users don’t even need to reside in the UK; a computer is all that's required. This means you could end up with a “Skype-In” number masquerading as a local landline, secretly routing your calls to a Skype account, letting you take those calls wherever you fancy. Here's hoping Microsoft tightens its grip and cracks down on any abuses tied to its systems. According to Oftel's records, numbers beginning with 02033 274 are assigned to VoIP-Un Limited. Do keep in mind that if a number shifts operators, that information isn't publicly disclosed. The last noted change for this range was back in October 2007. Similarly, numbers starting with 02079 65 are linked to Telstra Limited. And again, number portability skews the transparency. The last update for this range dates back to May 2004. Then there's the number 0845 519 7180. This falls under the Special Services Range and is linked to Nexus Telecommunications plc. It's worth noting: 0845 519 numbers are likely not legitimate; Oftel's last change for this range was documented in October 2007. The calling entity appears to be BRIC GLOBAL LIMITED, currently dabbling in the dubious "carbon credit" "investment" sector. A word of advice… if you're eager to roll the dice, do it in a casino! As per their website, this company was registered on 30 June 2011, with the registration number 07688229, and operates as a Private Limited Company with share capital. Their contact number is 0845 519 7180, and you can reach them via email at [email protected]. For more info, see companycheck.co.uk/company/06924634 regarding their address at 1ST FLOOR 2 WOODBERRY GROVE, NORTH FINCHLEY, LONDON, N12 0DR. Notably, this location seems to house numerous companies in what appears to be a small council-type building-feel free to check it out on Google Earth. BRIC Global is also making use of numbers like 02079654624, 02079654629, and 02033274777. Their registered address? 1 LIVERPOOL STREET, LONDON, EC2M 7QD (you can check out more details at www.regus.co.uk/locations/office-space/london-liverpool-street). As for the directors, Mr. Craig Brooks is listed, with a rather simplistic background as a Sales Adviser. The last update for their information was on 12 November 2011, indicating some activity after their founding in June 2011. It's maddening-these persistent nuisances refuse to take "no" for an answer and blatantly ignore the TPS. They seem undeterred by the FSA or any regulatory oversight. The more complaints lodged against them, the better; may various regulatory agencies finally put a stop to these operations! Their current use of one of the numbers feels as disreputable as a credit card operation from a couple of years ago. "Just so you know, at 9 Devonshire Square, London EC2M 4YF, you could secure a virtual office for a mere £60 per month!"

Don't forget-numerous references and complaints can be found all over the internet if you take the time to look. For anyone affected, beware the number 02079654629; I've received calls from them more than thirty times. They go by the name Bric Global and persist in trying to sell property in Brazil, regardless of my disinterest. I strongly suspect they operate like a Boiler Room and should be subject to investigation. And from 5 June 2009, there were reports of Indian representatives pushing offers like a Gold Mastercard with a hefty £4000 limit... all rather dubious, if you ask me. More insights can be found at various sites-many have raised concerns about the authenticity of these operations, especially as they seem to trace back to locations in India. We're collaborating with Ofcom and others to tackle this issue; unfortunately, the calls aren't originating from our network, making it tough to address. Let’s keep vigilant and continue spreading awareness about these murky operations!

I've been receiving roughly a couple of rings each day this month, but there's never anyone on the line. We contacted Telstra, and they've assured us that they'll investigate the matter. Apparently, this number isn't directly linked to Telstra but falls within their range of numbers. It turns out this is a company akin to BT and they have numerous customers utilising their services. Despite being registered with the "telephone preference service," we're still inundated with these nuisance calls. It seems that scheme doesn't function as well as one would hope. I genuinely hope this nonsense ceases shortly.

We've been receiving calls from this number as well, yet every time we pick up, it's just silence. It’s rather odd, as no one ever responds, regardless of how many times we try calling out "hello" into the void.

Just like Shar mentioned previously, I had a rather unpleasant experience. A chap called, claiming to be 'Albert' from TSH, based on Cleveland Street in London. He was trying to sell us a Mastercard. Despite us making it very clear that our number is registered with the Telephone Preference Service and that we weren't interested, he persisted in prattling on and completely disregarded our repeated requests to remove our number from their list and hang up. It got to the point where we lost our temper with him. I've lodged a formal complaint with both Ofcom and the TPS.

We receive calls from this number on a daily basis. Just today, they rang us five times, the last being at 10:05 in the evening. It's infuriating - the moment you answer, the line goes silent. If you try to return the call, you get that annoying unobtainable tone! It's quite maddening, really.

I've been getting at least one call each day from this number. Our housemate had a brief chat with someone once - an Asian girl who seemed keen to reach out to me. After that, he has chosen not to divulge any more details. It’s becoming rather frustrating! More often than not, the callers just hang up after a few moments, and when I try to return the call, I’m met with a message saying, “sorry, there was an error.” Honestly, it's becoming a right nuisance!

I received three calls from this number today. The first one was a bit odd - it was someone claiming to be from TCC, droning on about our name in the most sluggish manner, complete with a dodgy American accent. My patience wore thin, so when they asked how we were, I simply grunted, “FINE,” and hung up. The second call? Just dead air - no one there. And guess what? The third was more of the same! Seriously, who are these people?

We've only just acquired this number, and when I called it, they hung up on me. A big thanks to Anthony for sharing the email address! I've had a chat with them and formally asked to be removed from their mailing list. Much appreciated, mate!

We’ve been continuously getting calls from this number, and every time we pick up, they hang up immediately! What’s the actual purpose of that? It’s quite perplexing!

We've received countless calls from this number today, and every time we answered, there was no one on the other end. They even had the audacity to ring us at 9:45 in the evening! How rude! We tried to give them a ring back, but of course, some recorded message said there was a temporary issue. What a bother!

I recently received a call from this number, and let me tell you, it’s been a proper nuisance! Seven times, I got interrupted, and honestly, nobody mentions just how bothersome it can be.

I've been inundated with calls from this number and it's driving me up the wall. If you're responsible for these persistent calls, just do me a favour and disappear!

Blimey, those cheeky blighters just rang us at a quarter past ten at night. I can't wait to give those scoundrels a piece of our minds!

We’re from a telecommunications company and have received numerous inquiries regarding this particular number. Customers have been reporting that an individual calling from it is trying to peddle some kind of gold card and is also asking for their banking details. It’s quite relentless, as the caller seems to persistently ring them. If anyone comes across any details, it would be greatly appreciated if you could share them!

We've been getting calls from this number as well-usually a couple each week. However, every time we pick up, it goes silent on the other end. I've yet to have a proper conversation with whoever's calling. It’s interesting how they sometimes try to disguise themselves as a different company. I reckon if they were genuine, I’d just need to throw a few security questions their way first! 😊

I keep getting calls from these folks at all sorts of hours, even as late as half ten at night, and there's never anyone at the other end. It’s becoming quite an irritation, and I really wish there was a way to put an end to this!

I tried to give the ring centre a bell, only to be met with the cheeky response to call back during their opening hours! Yet, they’ve got the nerve to ring us at 9:15 in the evening and leave us hanging with no answer!

These idiots keep ringing us with absolutely no one on the other end, and it's driving my partner mad since we work through the night. Does anyone have any solid tips on how to put a stop to this nonsense? We're really getting fed up!

These persistent calls are really starting to get on our nerves! I reckon if I blew a whistle down the receiver, it might do the trick and make them stop bothering us for a bit. Maybe if I tell them I can’t hear properly and ask them to speak up, they’ll be shouting their heads off in no time. After all, they should remember we’re the ones footing the bill! If I keep saying, “Sorry, we didn’t catch that,” I’m sure they'll soon become quite fed up!

I must let everyone know that we've been bombarded with calls from this number a staggering eight times today. I'm not quite able to recall the name of the caller, but the number in question is 0800 8566 03. Hopefully, this info is useful to anyone else facing issues with them!

I recently gave the Operator a bell, and they revealed that this number belongs to Telstra Europe. I have a suspicion that these folks have contacted me previously, claiming to be from Virgin Media and trying to flog me a VOIP phone line. I wouldn't bother entertaining any nonsense from these characters; they're nothing but deceitful scoundrels looking to ensnare unsuspecting customers.

In the past, I've received calls from this number countless times a day, only for them to hang up without saying a word. It became a bit of a game where I’d answer with “your mother was a right trollop.” Then, one time, after being bombarded with four calls in the space of ten seconds, a rather startled young woman was on the line. Oddly enough, there was a lull in their calls for about three weeks, but alas, they've resumed contacting me once more.
