01229 846235 Neutral Who called me from this phone number?

As with the previous comments, supposedly from Nominet and tried to tell me a company was trying to set up with our business name but with the .co.uk version of our .com domain. Told her website was really only used as a business card and she started getting annoyed, raising her voice and trying to make out I was stupid, we exchanged a few more heated words and I hung up. Disgusting company and very rude, short tempered staff!

They were abusive when questioned why they were calling insisting they speak to the business owner. After going around the houses I said I was the owner and I got verbal and threatening abusive from the woman.

Report these guys to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 and it will help put a stop to them

As above. What a bunch of idiots. Told us that someone was buying it and that the fact we weren't interested was our own fault and final words were 'Don't say I haven't warned you', then hung up.

Same as comments above - told us a version of our company's website had been bought but with .com at the end and they'd halt the auction for us. Got abusive when I said no

Just had the same attempt - £80 to release from auction - whilst on phone bought the actual domain for 2 years for less than £20 - thanked him for the tip-off and he put phone down

As the rest of the comments, there's a local company bidding on the .co.uk version of our website to start trading, auction price was £200 but I could get it today for £80, whilst the idiot was on the phone checked the domain name to find it was freely available to buy for £13.88 for 3 years, most feeble attempt to scam ever!!

Company calling to scam me into buying a domain name similar to my companies but with .com. State they work alongside Nominet and the domain is up for auction and someone local to me is buying the .com version. When questioning them it was obviously a scam and they hung up.
