I used get calls on my mobile all the time from somewhere in London!
They knew my first name and last name.Sometimes it was a man and other times a woman.

They first said my name asked me how i was and then asked if i would like to donate to a childrens cancer charity that i had previously said i would help monthly.(via a card transaction)

I had never said this to anyone over the phone.
When i asked how they got my name and number they always dodged the question.
It went on for months anything from once a week somethimes 20 times a week,other times 3 calls in a day.Sometimes it was a London number and others it was witheld.

I know its not a big deal but its a pain in the a'ss and after a while you begin to get paranoid,what if they can get your bank details etc?Or use what if they know enough of you to use in an in identity theft.
I phoned O2 and asked if they could bar the number,they said i would have to contact the nuisnce calls bureau(whatever the fu.ck that is)!

The calls kept coming towards the end i kept telling them to Fu.ck off and hung up but they still kept calling back more and more.My mate told me to get a whistle like a ref would use and the next time they called to take my ear away from the speaker and blow it down the phone as hard as i could,apparently the the phone magnifies it and it aint very pleasant on the other end.
It worked anyway i hope it burst the bast'ards ear drum!The calls have stopped since.

It just goes to show how low people will go to try and obtain your bank details using a kids cancer charity as a way to tug on the heartstrings,sick sick people!

The worrying thing is though there are people out there that are daft and gullible enough to fall for such schemes,if there were not these fu'ckers would not be doing what they do!

Cheers for that Igor. We have been getting phonecalls lately that, when we answer its an answering machine telling us its directing a the call elsewhere so I just hang up. Now it could be genuine (if it is the lazy feckers can call me directly !) but im guessing it isnt so I just hang up.
