    As I like my cars and change often i generally have a car for sale on one of the many car websites out there at any one time. This also means i'm subjected to constant cold calling from some of the main magazines and those bloody cypriot scammers etc. Anyway, most of the time I recognize the number and ignore it but still keep getting caught out - like this evening when in the middle of a nice romantic meal, excused myself to take a call for my car ad, and who is it only Autotrader on a different number. Man, I'm well p**sed with these people.

    It mightn't help, but I'm putting up these numbers on my website so at least theres a list somewhere so i & others might quickly recognise a number and ignore it. Mightn't be a perfect solution (i ignore the blocked numbers anyway) but sure its worth a try. Maybe having list of them here isn't a bad idea either.

    Anyway, heres the list so far and if people can reply/pm whatever with any numbers they have got scam calls from over the last while i'll put them up too!

    Heres the two I had today alone to start -
    Autotrader Ireland : +353 1 4490600
    Scammer (Cyprus) : +357 25878716

    rant over!!:mad:

    only the two I've got today but I intend building. Ok, better idea.. I'll remove my website from the post, and put them up here and I'll duplicate them onto my site. :cool:
