I didnt check for the secured logo , no.

When the number 0870 2243400 calls my mobile it comes up with +44, when I call it back it has an American automated message.....but I daren't listen to it all in case it is dialing some far off country and scamming me.

This is a recorded message saying that "Your call is being answered by Audix." This doesn't mean that the call is being forwarded to America, it just means that the answering machine system that this company uses is American.

Surely an 0870 would not come up with prefix +44.
It's an English number to an English service (I assume)
I've had them before and the caller display just shows the 0870

Possibly the return call you make is diverted to america, but then that would be at there expense, not yours. Your costing would be to the 0870 only.

Many mobiles translate it automatically to the international +44.
At least it was correct; some French networks, when roaming in Geneva, show UK incoming calls as +4444 -  a double warning that the UK is calling.

Ok guys well i have finally found out who the company is that has been driving me insane, they called me and i answered and gave them a telling off to be fair it wasnt the person at the end of the phones fault, then they proceeded to phone me again <sigh> so i was not a happy bunny and told them what i thought, and told them that i reported them to the tps and they could get fined for drop calling me, they didnt seem to like that very much lol
any way who is this company i hear you scream, it is a company call quick decision loans who  i think are a subsidurau of ocean finance ( i phoned them too and told them how irked i was) and i have theyre telephone number it is 08709799500 this number you will get to speak to a human being and hopefully that will put an end to it all
I hope this has been of some help to you all

It may be worth pointing out that some of the loan companies mentioned in this thread have 800 numbers published on their web sites. Of course it would be irresponsible of me to suggest calling such numbers once, let alone multipile times as the recipient has to bear the cost of such a call, nevertheless it may be worthwhile letting these companies know just how you feel and to see if they are having a nice day.

Here in the US, calling toll-free numbers from a pay-phone ensures that the call recipient has to bear an even greater cost for the incoming call. I do not know whether the same rationale applies in the UK, but something to bear in mind too.

Would that be the same Ocean Finance that has this info...
Ocean Finance and Mortgages Limited
Pacific House
Relay Point
Tamworth
Staffordshire
B77 5BR
Call Free - 24 hours a day
0800 916 9186


Having looked at, and got, an 0800 number, I can tell you that the minimum charge THEY RECEIVE is 2p per min for all the time you're on the phone.
I can assume that if they just pick up the phone to find no-one there, and wouldn't that be annoying after a while, they would still be charged a connection fee.
A point to make is that as with 0870, the number goes to a landline, so the use of 141 would be advised. Not that anyone would do this sort of thing surely? Oh sorry, they do. So do unto others as you'd like to be done unto you.

Otherwise called getting your revenge in first!
