Jewish and russian brokers. Put them to jail please.
Got missed call left no msg!
I have got a miscall from this number and left an unclear message.
I was called by this number answered the phone and then they just hung up dint even talk. Can't call them back, because it's a 10 digit number.
Used my mums first name saying this is James when we said mum doesn't know a James he got nasty saying he wanted to speak to her. The man was foreign likely Indian. Such a scumbag bloody people
Just had this number ring asking if he was talking to a Mr. Karl ? I didn't know my womanly voice was so deep lol. When I said he had wrong number he apologised and hung up. We had a woman last week asking for Mr. Karl. Both had foreign accents.
Silent call, seemed to wait until I said Hello before hanging up.
I'm a member of the Telephone Preference Service so I reported the number to them.
The caller display showed a mobile then when I put the phone down after a silent response the international display appeared. I blame Ofcom for not helping the public with this problem.
They ring on a regular basis, i either hang up or ignore, they then ring you back from another number
Useless, want investment.
Having calls from this number, can't call back
Called my 3 time in one say. Woman who sounded eastern european claimed to be from an FX brokers. When I asked to be removed from the list she refused then asked if I was and didn't like the sound of her voice. I asked again for the name of the company she was call ing from and she then told me she was calling me from XXXXX Stockbrokers which I actually own as a dormant company. (X's are replacing true name of company).
When I asked again she got abusive and said if I hang up she'd keep calling back until I listen to her.
