Hey guys.

 

I had more than 6 (!!) calls from

+44 121 456 7840

on my german number...

googled it and it says it's some scam.. The number was at least in scam-emails.

Even when I just denied the call they called again...

Should I just block the number?

Google suggests it's Al Rayan bank?

That's what the "block" feature on your phone is for - if it's the same number, go for it. If they use different numbers every time, then it gets a bit more difficult...

 

There used to be an 0330 number you could divert them to that played them some message or other - but I would be wary of trying to do that, forwarding across networks can be tricky enough, forwarding between countries perhaps worse... but with free calls back home, if it was a UK mobile you were using, I'd say do that. Diverting your German mobile for that number to a similar number might be a possibility.

 

Or just block it!

Right... A bank I never heard of...

 

 

@pgn

They didn't tried again... And I was too tired to block them (was still in bed). Thought about directing them to a xxx-number, but was just too lazy to look it up XD

They are annoying @ComaChameleon....all I do is block, block and block again.

0121 is actually a UK dial code for Birmingham.....(even though the full number isn't) Evil

I was wondering they were calling my german number... On the O2-one I would've expected it, but not on my that one. My iPhone said Birmingham too.

Thought about if they can "catch" numbers when you pass by some device to "scan" numbers from handsets....

bc I was at UK this week...

Not sure if that would work @ComaChameleon, (though as I am a bit slow with technology, who the hell knows?) Confused Happy Dance
