Many of us are aware of DCAs using multiple numbers to try and get through to us on the phone, but I've just discovered that Muck Hall must be getting desperate to reach me considering they've been trying unsuccessfully for some time! I don't know if anybody else has had this happen to them, but they've called me today (unsuccessfully again unfortunately for them) using a number on my own area code. Most of the attempts to reach me have been to one of my VoIP numbers, but my router has the facility to block ranges of numbers so I took advantage of that several months ago just after I'd googled their numbers! However, about half an hour ago I noticed there was a missed call from a local number. Normally I would just ring back and enquire but as the 'local' part of the number (second numeral) didn't fit the normal format I decided to be slightly more cautious. Googling didn't produce any results so I decided to call it (but withholding my number by prefixing '141'). Lo and behold a scottish voice announced "Muck Hall"! It's not a coincidence that one of their numbers just happens to be the same as my area code (in Cornwall) but rather a deliberate attempt to fool me into answering a call which displays as local, so watch out for that little trick CAGgers! Oh well, just going off to block another number range in my router. Rob
