My home answerphone receives many calls with no message and number
withheld, and I have just received a call on my mobile from a caller using
+6692023583 and +6617516538 (Thailand international codes) claiming to be in
Beijing asking me whether I am interested in investing in stocks and shares.
(Answer NO.) Is everyone getting this sort of thing?

Hi,

I got the same call to my mobile the other day, at first I thought it was
some kind of reversed charges scam - I recall something like that a few
years ago - but the call just appeared normally. I've assumed that they've
culled newsgroup postings and grabbed out numbers for likely individuals who
may be interested in stocks. Believe me, I'm in no position to buy any
shares at the moment...

Anyway, I told the guy I wasn't interested and he said could he send me an
email and quoted an address at me, not this one, which was just all to
big-brother for my liking, so I've removed my phone numbers from my sig...
too little too late I expect.

Bloomin' phone calls from spammers now.

kind regards,
Liam
