0151 604 1893

Two calls from this number today. Although I did not get to answer them I googled the number and it's apparently the Microsoft engineer scam.

Those of you with Call Blocker might want to block it.

Did this really need to be a thread? You make more threads than anyone else here already.

If I had call blocker and somebody posted the information that I have just posted I would be glad to have received that information.
Are you naturally vitriolic or are you just an arsehole?

Wouldn't it be great if they were really calling from Liverpool?

It's the blokes from Harry Enfield: 'Alright, La, calm down......'

Most people living in this century use mobile phones for calls which display numbers. Most people don't pick up to random callers. It's borderline spam when it comes in the volume you post it.

I wouldn't normally think an 0151 number was Suspect.

hope you don't have long lost family or friends in Liverpool.

Oh and to the OP ;

Thanks for the heads up Mypyrex.

You two got beef of something?

Don't see the issue with his posts. If you don't like him don't read them, it's not like you don't know who's posted before you read.

Well, on the mobile interface, the OP's name isn't shown; just 'replies, views and newest post'...

It's a spoofed number over VOIP , blocking will only help short term then they'll spoof another.

But the 'posters' name is the 1st thing you see once you've opened the thread so same difference.

Either way. Don't like it, don't read it. Simples.

Ignoring the post would be the same thing as ignoring the phone call, people often don't heed their own advice.

To be fair, I knew who had posted it just from the thread title!

And to Pyrex: We keep getting calls from these bastards at the rate of about one every two weeks. Never really thought about blocking the number. Thanks.
In reply to jon:

Really? I don't remember who posts about what these days, because there are too many people to try to track, and I don't really care. I just treat every post without 'history'. Well, just about...
