The Dark Furie

We looked up the area code of the number and found it was in Scotland. As I'm not a fan of the Scottish anyway and the search had brought back more than a few results from that area code that had been reported as aggressive marketing numbers I decided to look up the full phone number - +44 1563 556391. What I found was a scam.

These people phone you up and if you answer the phone they immediately ask gruffly "What do you want?" Obviously this causes confusion for the person being called so they try to explain that they'd been called. The person on the other end of the call (who ranges in age and gender according to all reports so is obviously an employee) acts surprised then launches into a tale of woe about mobiles somehow calling their number yet saying they're being called by that number. Then they'll start to question you about your mobile package, invariably leading to an offer to help the victim change their mobile package to one that wont do this. Like I said, a scam.

I'm not going to stand for it. I propose that everyone out there that reads this page should phone this company up themselves and pull their own trick on them. When they answer, shout "What do you want, you Scottish twat?" down the phone and hang up immediately. Reverse the charges from a phonebox if you can to cause them a little extra hassle, or do it from work on your lunchbreak or something. Just do something to hide your own phone number. Give the spammers a taste of their own medicine.
