I thank you for your post, but I have read this.

I have actually pposted on this site today. My name is Alex Patterson

I phoned talktalk to complain about getting calls from this number and they are denying it is them!

The most galling thing is talktalk gave me a new number months ago because I was getting pestered by the same type of phone calls, and now they are doing it themselves, or if they aren't their partners AOL are, because talktalk bought them out, and as far as I am concerned it was talktalk who gave them my number to phone.

I kept getting calls from an company called Global Investments and found they were a German outfit. I emailed tham and told them to stop phoning me or I will report them to the relevent authorites for harrasement. Since then I have not been troubled. So what I am saying is this, email Talk Talk & AOL telling them to stop. You never know it might work with a bit of a threat.

Good luck

You will probably only get anywhere by filing a formal written complaint with the Information Commissioner - www.ico.gov.uk. ; If you are TPS registered then so much the better as they are already committing an additional offence that way too. Indicate to the ICO you believe the number belongs to TalkTalk. The ICO should be able to get hold of the info to prove this either way. Also file a complaint at www.tpsonline.org.uk if you are registered with them - much quicker but less effective than complaining to the ICO.

Ofcom has already fined TalkTalk for silent calls so if you can get to the team leader of that case they might be prepared to take more interest. Ofcom also ought to be able to find out who the number belongs to.

More info on this number at http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/08703305275 shows it is almost certainly TalkTalk. I would send an email to Ofcom's Director of Investigations about this pointing to their previous actions against TalkTalk over Silent Calls.

They say it is an AOL number.

But AOL is a wholly owned subidiary of TalkTalk these days so they are just trying to throw you off the scent by giving you that "clever answer". It obviously therefore is TalkTalk in terms of the company behind the calls.
