This is a scam number, they ring me at least a dozen times aweek, maybe more, i have tried to block it on my mobile but they still get through, its really pissing me off. i even tried to ring it back off a land line and all you hear is background noise, its deffo a scam, its not just this number. There are a few numbers thats the same. ITS A FRAUD.
