08451550228 nuisance calls rant.

[tommer9]

This number has been calling me recently. Apparently it is affiliated to e-on the electricity supplier.

Normally i would just ignore the calls, or if it were to a landline bar the number. What has really peeved me about this is that the caller has asked for my 10 year old son by name.......whilst having rung my mobile!!!

At first they hung up the moment i answered....yesterday i managed to get into a conversation with the vile abusive snotty little turd at the call centre (as he turned out to be) and he couldnt even give me a decent excuse as to how my 10 year old son's name has become associated with my mobile. I ended up calling the police and finally got e-on to look into it.

I googled the number and it seems that lots of people have had this...the weird thing is that e-on dont reckon its one of their call centres!!!!!

Rant over.

What are they asking for or trying to sell you? when you googled the number what are other people saying about this number?

They wouldnt say exactly what they wanted, just more information regarding some info he had supplied about our gas and electricity supplier. (this is total B.S. as we have bottled gas and pay our neighbour for the electric we use).

Other people are getting hung up on when they answer, and some say its is e-on according to the few websites i looked at.

I am sure there isnt anything particularly sinister going on, but I did find myself getting all protective and VERY p-ed off.....a fact i made abundantly clear to mancunian Jamie on the other end of the phone line.....

Had a similar sort of thing a couple of years ago from british gas, they kept ringing on the land line insisting that i had signed up to go over to them from our current supplier.

When i quized the guy on the phone on how he was going to get the gas to my house he said we use the same pipe work that your current supplier uses.

When i explained to the guy that we had an lpg tank in the garden he hung up and we never heard from them again.....funny that!!!!!!

i had one the other day trying to sell me a better phone deal, i told him i dont have a phone!! that stumped him, he then tried in his best condecending voice and say how did i call you then, i shouted ""your real,i thought i was listening to a sea shell and you were in my head" he then hung up:lol:

I used to get calls about gas but they seemed to have dried up after I told them I was on oil. They then tried to sell me cheaper electricity so I told them I'm on solar and wind-generated power and these dried up too.

 

These days I get calls from abulance chasers telling me I can get a few grand in compo from an accident I had. They quickly lose interest when they find out no-one else was involved.

These buggers are more persistant though, the calls keep coming.

Worst bit is they keep calling from a withheld number and then hanging up when I answer.

That’s probably one of those call centre dialler’s, they don’t want people wasting time dialling so the computer dials your number and when you answer it passes the call to a waiting operator, if none are available it drops the call and you get a hang up.

i got rid of these unwanted calls by joining the TPS for free

 

see Telephone Preference Register - Prevent unwanted telephone calls

 

they register you and if you conitinue to get unwanted calls they take action against the sender, i only have to say i'm in the TPS and the caller hangs up as they have to work within the law.
