Hello,
I'm getting a lot of missed calls from mobile numbers and when I ring back the cut off straight away, the weird thing is that the numbers are 07734 953 xxx, 07734 953 xxx, 07734 953 xxx which look very close together. Does anyone know if these numbers are used as part of a scam?

A bit of a fuss about nothing, they work with the GSM Assoc, to stop it.
A personalised response you won't get.

Its not nothing when you get lots of them if they know all about these things why are they still allowed to happen

You are only one of possibly millions getting these, so they are dealt with between the phone companies and the GSMA, I don't see what else can be done.
This happens worldwide it's not a UK problem, if you can work out a solution please share it.

You should be able to tell or forward the number to o2 and they should block it whats so hard about that for a multi million pound company

You haven't researched this at all, if a number gets blocked they switch to another and they have an endless supply.
UK companies are prosecuted so rarely do this but foreign numbers can't be.

I shouldn't have to research it I pay o2 for a line with a number and that number should only be given out by me if its coming from a source I know nothing about I expect o2 to stop it

Well that isn't going to happen.
Out of here as you aren't listening.
Good luck with what you want, I hope you get it.
