This is the first to get through the net, since I installed our BT
8500's with the TruCall system 8-o .

The system logged a series of calls from 01134196912. Which at
first glance suggested it might have been a genuine and local
number, so I tried ringing it back and it rang unanswered, though
it did sound a bit odd the ringing tone. The caller had failed to
announce their name and press # to get through in each of their
calls. Then I tried to trace where the call had originated 0113 is a
Leeds
code, also our area code, except all of our codes (so far as I am
aware) have a 2 following the code - 0113 2??????. 01134 didn't
seem to exist, or so it seemed from Google.

The same caller tried again, this time said his name and pressed
#. I accepted the call and from the accent it was probably a call
from either Australia or maybe South Africa. The caller wanted me
to take a survey - I will not repeat here what I said to him.

Google failed to find that, for some reason. The comments made there,
are similar to what took place. They knew my name.

I disconnected my landline and only use my mobile. Much less
nuisance calls, and I can see the number. I only answer those in my
contacts list, or mobile phones (as these tend to be actual people),
any other landline phoning me I look up first, then dial back.

Translation:
I can't afford a landline anymore as I'm skint and on the bones of my arse.

I have a landline, it comes with the fibre internet. I just took the phone out.
