    I can't believe these out of the ordinary happenings! It must be extra terrestrials trying to make contact, answer the phone quick and tell them you are the ambassador of earth.

    That number is polite, deficient, wasteful and odious, according to this ultra-geeky website.

    Nothing good ever comes from these calls.

    Do not ring these back as can charge you if it is dodgy.

    It's Sky broadband marketing trying to get more custom. I got a call last week and they wanted to do a survey too but I declined.

    What's my prize?

    Regarding weird phone calls in general.. how come the windows technical department one is still doing the rounds it seem to pop up every few months and it seem to ping pong between India and Africa if the accents are anything to be go by.

    Nobody in the English speaking world could be taken in by this at this stage could they yet it still persists.

    I once got a call from a Mr Alan Partridge when working tech support. Disappointingly he wasn't as hilarious as his namesake.

    I get this call every couple of months. It drives me mad. Iv reported it to eircom as I have an unlisted number but they cant do anything and their advice is to hang up straight away.
