Unknown caller. say urgent to call back. Did not call.
After repeated "silent calls" leaving which al left the same message "Call MDR Urgently on 0161 etc" I rang them. Spoke to "Charlotte" Did not give any personal details. Informed THEM that i was recording the call, reminded them of the Harassment Act and asked them to remove my number from their database. They have and i should now get no more calls.
Nuisance calls from 01614752861 leaving messages on mobile to ring back but wont say who they are.
they ring about 7 times per day and leave a message to call them. Rang them back and said that they have the wrong number and that person is not linked to this phone number. Still they keep ringing
Harrassing calls, leaving urgent messages to contact the above number.
Harrassed by these, they leave threatoning voicemails. Should be banned/prosecuted.
