Telephone scam of the day

[FatLazyContractor]

WFH today, so when the landline rings I just ignore it and let it go to the answer machine, which then promptly ends the call.

But just now instead of ringing off, a recording of the BT 1571 answering service was played, going through the spiel and asking "press 1 to repeat, press 2 to..". And it looped continuously until I answered the phone and promptly ended the call (who 'hangs up' these days?).

I'll bet some premium rate number is coining it at the moment...

(PS. No calls on the BT answering machine btw - I don't have it...)

That happens when one uses the landline to ring one of those premium rate Babe station numbers.

Do you work away from home often?!

1 gb/s download and upload speeds available. Bit slow for me, in the US you can get 100 gb/s broadband for $400 per month.

That is nothing. I can send several thousand TB/second :-
