Cold Callers (Out of Area)

[kirsty19]

Hi Guys,

 

We currently have a house phone (land line) that displays phone numbers. We've lived in our property for around 2-and-a-half years and had the same number since we moved in.

 

After about a month we started getting calls and were displayed as OUT OF AREA at least 3 times a day. When we answer these calls they are ALWAYS Asian sounding, so obviously from overseas. The callers are asking about our mortgage every single time. We have contacted our phone provider (Kingston Communications) and they say all these calls have been blocked. However, this isn't the case as we are still getting as many of these calls.

 

This is really getting on our nerves as sometimes we have to go to bed early for changed working hours etc, therefore spoiling our sleep. Also interrupting our dinner, TV and leisure in general.

 

Bottom line is: Please, Can we stop this in any way ???

Thanks guys...

Only by unplugging the phone. You must be using a Panasonic handset (?) as they use OOA instead of 'International'. KC are talking nonsense if they say they've specifically blocked them. They cannot.

 

Because they are overseas, there isn't a single thing you can do - in much the same way as if someone came to your door!
