    Just had a company ring me on my mobile purporting to have something to do
    with Vodafone. The phone is a 5 year old PAYG and as soon as the guy said'
    your coming to the end of your 12 month contract' I knew it was dodgey.
    Does anyone know who they are, the number came up as 01792 350023. I know
    I should have kept him talking, but he interrupted my tea!!.

    Cheers

    Dave

    Called me today!

    Bloke called Rob from someone communications. Said "I understand you
    are near the end of your contract.." which I just said "No" - and he
    said "You're not? OK thank you... goodbye"

    So not too bad, never seemed like he was trying to trick me from the
    word to go - shame he called me at work or I could have wasted some of
    his time

    Yes, he first called me this morning, but I was at work so got missed call
    message. The area code is Swansea. Oh well not the only one then.

    Cheers for that.

    I missed the call at around midday as well. Answered the 2nd call which
    was just gone 4pm.

    I wonder where they get this information from? I'm actually about 6
    months off my contract coming to an end, though there was no way I was
    going to tell them that

    There is a biggish legit mobile phone company based in Swansea - forget
    their name. There was also a scandal a few years back with some dodgy
    company set up re mobile phones that, if I recall correctly, went bankrupt
    owing large sums of money and leaving loads of people out of work. Again,
    forget the name. Perhaps it is worth ringing Swansea City Council's Trade
    Description's department and asking a few questions.

    Have you rang them back?

    No - but like I say, I don't think they were really trying to con me -
    he wasn't pushy, fairly polite, told me the company name (without me
    asking) - and they sent the caller ID.

    Sure, it could be seen as a 'nuisance call' - but I get these things so
    rarely it really didn't bother me.
