[QUOTE="Thylacine, post: 437571, member: 5350"] Another scam from China attempts to keep you on the phone for as long as possible, somehow they make money from this, possibly with the call being reconnected. I missed a call on my mobile phone from Shanghai, China at 0645 Saturday morning, +86 (21)0000 00. I wonder if I've won a prize....... As for the landline, we did a knock-down and rebuild, being given a new phone number as ours had been reissued during the lengthy building process. I've never given out the land line number, but, every other day calls would come in and if I didn't recognise the number I'd let it ring out. At the end of the week I'd collect the numbers and check them on the PC, almost always they were from phone companies, banks, real-estate agents or known call centers. Not one call was from a family member. That phone eventually stopped working and I just can't be bothered to replace it....... [/QUOTE]
