Thanks for sorting that Dave.
If Lacy1968 is concerned about the nature of calls from this outfit, here is the advice from Ofcom:
What is Ofcom’s role in relation to malicious or nuisance calls?
Whilst Ofcom has put in place a register to stop consumers receiving unsolicited sales calls, there are no Ofcom regulations specific to malicious or nuisance calls as these are a criminal offence.
If you receive such a call you should:
Tell your phone company as soon as you receive a malicious or nuisance call. It doesn’t matter whether you know the caller’s identity or not.
Phone the operator (100 from a BT line) and ask for the number of your phone company’s nuisance or malicious calls team. Then tell the team that you have received a malicious or nuisance call. Tell the team what the caller said.
In some cases, particularly if the caller is threatening, your phone company will advise you to call the police.
If the caller is making direct threats to you or your family and you believe those threats to be real and immediate, you must call 999 straightaway.
If you believe that the threats made are not immediate, then you should call your local police station.
You may be offered ‘anonymous call’ rejection from your provider which should prevent these kinds of calls in the future (ask your provider if there’s a charge for this service). However, this may block some calls you might want to continue receiving, such as calls from overseas.
