Had this about a dozen times in the last 4 days. The first time it happened I dialed 1471 and for some bizarre reason 1471 told me the number consisted entirely of zero's.
Phone rings, you pick up. There's a pause of about 5 seconds then an automated voice says "Goodbye" and the line goes dead. Ignored it but it happened again. The last few times I have just hung up as soon as I hear that tell tale "pause" at the start of the call at the other end of the line but this time 1471 says We do not have the callers number". We are registered on the TPS ( although that doesn't seem to deter certain companies nowadays ) but it's getting quite annoying now. Just had the same call about 5 minutes ago and last night for the first time we had one of these calls at 11.50pm ish which was really annoying!!.
Anyone had these calls or know what they are about?. Some kind of scam to get you to call them back and then charge you a fortune for doing so?. This is what I first suspected but then if 1471 does not have the number this isn't possible obviously. So what's the point of them calling?.
