My daughter got a call today from

02476992625

Please warn mums that you know with young children ....this nutter asked my daughter questions I would consider grooming her!!!!!

I have banned the number now and will call the police just to see what their thoughts are!!!!!!!!!

INFORM THE POLICE STRAIGHT AWAY

Yes Dizzi I will but if you google the number theres loads of people complaining about calls from this number ...

It isn't grooming as such but it is well known as a pest number - just use TPS

There are a lot of people receiving these calls, see the above link.

One person thinks they have traced the number to part of Coventry University.

Yes I did read their posts but it was the way he spoke and what he said
say what a lovely voice she had and how old was she ....did she live in the house alone!!!

NOT RIGHT

I hope the police can track them down, as you say it definitely isn't right.

not right at all!!!!

The problem is, many people give their number out and it gets passed on because they don't tick the box that says "do not pass my number on to third parties"

The other problem is that a lot of these calls are made because they use software that randomly generates numbers.

Just tell them you are with TPS and hang up.

If you have caller ID then do not answer in the first place - answering the call just confirms that your number is valid and live.

errolsheep My son has his fathers name and my grandfathers !!!! so double barreled so we think we know who has passed it on as this company questioned why he book in under one surname and checked out on a double barreled name

I will be ringing them tomorrow aswel ....

My daughters questioning began when she said there is no person of that name here as he asked for a female by my sons !!! doubled barreled surname!!!

i think its disgusting, good luck with the police

We all know the number so why don't we all give it a ring.

shocking :-(

I tried tracing the number. All I could find out was that it is registered to a market research company in Coventry. There have been loads of complaints over the past 2 or 3 weeks. Most of the complaints are about the caller persistently phoning the same person over & over again.

Yes Graham ...another friend of mine did the same but it seems nothing can be done just ban the number! so we have set that in motion

Sharron when you redial it ....a answer phone says this number is not accepting calls at this time

Glad you drew attention to this, Kempina. Truly shocking.
