Warning

Someone from this number has been ringing us 02031291533 I have blocked them now but the man says he is from tps and asks for end date of our credit card he knows our name and address already. I looked the number up and it's a scam, but he sounded very plausible.

But watch out don't give out any details to him if he rings you.

Re: Warning

Julie, I thought it was one of the two 0203 numbers I received twice yesterday and once today. Two were to my landline and the one today was to my mobile. I didn't answer any of them.
The one yesterday was 02031988112 . The other today, was 02035518735. I googled the numbers and they are on the list of unwanted/nuisance calls.
Why don't they all clear off!!

020 is the code for the London area.
A friend of mine has an 0203 number. There's nothing sinister about them.

Re: Warning

It may solve the problem of one call but the menace is unfortunately an automated dialect.

My friend's landline, which begins 0203, has 11 numbers.
My landline has 11 numbers.

I think all phone numbers have 11 numbers

Why must they be mobiles?
Don't mobiles start 07
