Any trainspotters out there have these numbers in their books?  Roll Eyes

Why would you want to know who they are? Firstly, the 0709 I think will be a scam as it is a maximum rate of 47.5p/min at all times from BT Together landlines.

As for the 0870 number, some other people being harrassed by calls from this number, see here.

Welcome heather2055.

No, I don't but, by the sound of it, you've been the target of 'CLI dumping' (certainly with the first number and possibly with the second).

The idea is to get you to call back so they can make money off you while they keep you on hold, 'transfer' you or let you listen to a recording of a ringtone.

The 070 number (which, because it starts 07, many people think is a mobile number that they can call back using their mobile's cross-network minutes) would cost you 50p/minute to call from a BT landline (see HERE) and heaven knows how much from your mobile).

Just delete them from your missed calls list and forget them.

[size=14][/size] I have had a number of missed calls from 0870 7210020 this week,  I was at home today when this number called again and answered it, all I could hear was sounds of an office/call centre in the back ground, I said hello a few times but no reply!

They have not called again and there's no way I am going to call them back, is anyone else familiar with this number?

They called again last night and said: "we are calling about your recent loan application", I told them we have not applied for a loan, then they asked who our house is insured with and how much are the monthly installments, I told them I have just switched to a new company on 1st Feb and was not interested, they went on to say, we can beat your quote, I then asked who they are, it was a name I had never heard of and couldn't remember this morning (sorry)!

I think they are just after personal info to sell on to other companies, or maybe something more sinister!! Smiley

0870sucks, even if they had not mentioned the loan application which you have not made, I would not have given them any information.  Shocked
