Had call from "Stavros", who was a "Freelancer" offering an "Investment Opportunity".
I asked the caller whether he was regulated and by whom to offer investment advice via cold-calling and he hung-up on me...such a shame, as former Investment Banker I am sure we could have had a very interesting conversation!
Th fact they had my name was frustrating....I do wish the OFT would shut these b@st@rds down.
Guy with an indian accent asking me how my day was going. Then asked me to sit in front of a computer to show me how "crazy" the market is today.
When i asked who he worked for he claimed to be a free-lancer. I just hanged up, seems like a time (and money) waster,
Keep getting calls from this number, they just say hello hello hello it's driving me crazy!
I have got a miscall from this number and left an unclear message.
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.
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.
