As weeks fly by we grow weary of all those nuisance calls yet they seem only to increase in number and in strength. PPI claims and sweepstakes dominate their useless talk and their sweet whispers of great deals only cause nausea and a sudden urge to recap what we had for dinner. The authories remain idle and we have to fend off the Most Wanted Spam and Scam calls from the UK and USA.

Here the UK’s Most Wanted:

1. 01872277700 form Truro with a tellows score of 8
2. 01613126506 from Manchester with a tellows score of 8
3. 01172090021 from Bristol with a tellows score of 7

UNBELIEVABLE !!! The Manchester PPI company has been dethroned! The Truro based loan company and its agents paramounted even the annoying Manchester champion dwarfed its Bristol competitors.

Our user Mark commented:

These are a dodgy loan company! I applied for a loan before university in 2002 and they still pester me! They are mugs as well, the only thing they are good for is shouting abuse at. Me friend actually signed up and they took £80 from his account and then said he got declined for a loan! Disgusting!!

Let’s see how’s life across the Atlantic Ocean.

1. 3605296156 from Washington with a tellows score of 9
2. 6518293110 from Minnesota with a tellows score of 8
3. 2132615790 from Los Angeles with a tellows score of 8

All quiet on the Western Front. Apart from an increase in annoyed people the American spammers and scammers enjoyed a splendid week of exciting harassments and frauds. If you hope to disrupt their amusement spread the information on those numbers or make it your amusement

Annoyed reported:

I received the exact same script call with the exception of the attorney’s name and the phone number originated from. Here’s the call:

Just got a call from this number. Woman said, “We need your attorney’s information.” I said, “What are you talking about?” to which she stated, “Are you aware you have a lawsuit and charges being filed against (stated my name and social security number) and told me to call back 1-323-513-8685 and ask for their attorney Michael Carcer and he would explain everything.
I kept asking whom she worked for and she kept saying Legal Fees. This number showed up on my caller ID as Los Angeles, CA. None of this sounded correct so I checked out here first. As I was checking I called the number and a recording says it is “no longer in service.” So, 1) this is the same Indian call center that was calling me about a month ago to give me an auto loan I never applied for and who has my information (scary), 2) the incoming number was spoofed, and 3) this is most definitely a scam. I will turn them over to FCC and State Attorney’s office if they call me again

As the weeks fly by the scammers and spammers of the world continue to harass the common folk without mercy. Their furious charge into the midst of our private lives leaves our domestic peace shaken and prone to a nervous collapse. As we struggle to keep our tempers in check the authorities measures to tackle the unsolicited intrusions remain quasi non-existent. Hence, we need to help ourselves.

Here are the UK’s Most Wanted:

1. 03333440125 from a Premium Rate Service with a tellows score of 7
2. 02920822696 from Cardiff with a tellows score of 8
3. 01268297656 from Basildon with a tellows score of 7

In terms of annoyance last week’s premium rate service number is still top of the notch. However, Basildon was demoted to 3rd place by Cardiff’s mobile contract hunter. Nonetheless, Opus Credit did also quite a good job for you obviously still despise them.

Despite being asked to remove my number from their database they seem to be refusing even though I am registered with TPS… cant anything be done??

Unfortunately, the great Atlantic isn’t the barrier it used to be. People in the USA suffer the same nuisance calls as their English counterparts.

1. 2142831316 from Dallas with a tellows score of 9
2. 2124485501 from New York with a tellows score of 6
3. 2816701528 from Houston with a tellows score of 5

Mr Nelson commented:

I let my fax machine answer such calls I don’t know who they are.. But I would like these calls to stop..

Debt collector’s, a wannabe university and an unindentified number. What else is there to say? It seems the American and British authorities successfully ignore the crimes of a few and the needs of many. Nonetheless, life goes on … and we’ll hold the line!

They call without mercy and have no regrets. Politeness and Modesty are seldom their virtues and their continious radiation of spam corrodes even the most hardened nerves of steel. How do we stop them? We must identify their trickery before they can employ their ways of deception succesfully. They may be only the tip of the iceberg but here they are, The Most Wanted of the UK:

1. 01613128082 tellows score 7 from Manchester
2. 01792455426 tellows score 8 from Swansea
3. 01613128035 tellows score 8 from Manchester

Well, Well, Well, guess who’s first and who’s second. The Duo Fatale from Manchester and Swansea hold their positions but welcome a third player to the party. ETA Claims from Manchester were effective in harassing people as our user “yve” states:

Driving me mad on my mobile, as I’ve not answered, the calls go to answerphone which obviously costs me to phone, but they never leave a message. Phoning me at least 4/5 times a day.

Across the globe our friends in the US of A don’t fare any better:

1.5852477707tellows score 7 from New York
2.8669367667tellows score 8 a toll free service
3.5165223472tellows score 7 from Garden City

He calls several times in the day n night. He text nude photos. If u ignore he stops for a while then changes his number and starts again. Other numbers used and reported 9172618481& 5164104735. Don’t meet with this man he is sick. Call the police

The USA Most Wanted excessively entertain the habbit of harrassing people day and night on automated terms. Once you successfully blocked a number they will obtain a new one and start with renewed vigor. Unfortunately we do not know much about these Spam numbers, so…

If you have any information on the above mentioned numbers share them with the community! Help us help you!

Jimmyod:

This company has called me daily for the last 2 weeks – even on saturdays. They have never left a message so I answered a call from them on Saturday to see what they wanted. They are3 selling PPI compensation. after the girl had tried to engage me in chat about how my day was going, she finally explained the reasons for her call. I informed her that I have never had loan protection and asked to be removed from their call list. I have still be phoned everyday since. I just recieved another call (evening this time) by quite simply the most unprofessional telesales person ever. When he told me he was calling about my loan, I asked what loan to which he replied “that’s what you are supposed to be telling me”. When I told him I had had no loans he just put the phone down. Steer clear of this bunch of tossers.

What an unpleasant supprise! The Manchester claims company holds the pole position in the first ranking of the year. On its heels a yet to be identified number from Swansea saves second place. Bronze goes again to the number from Holmes Chapel. Let’s have a look acorss the Atlantic ocean:

1. 4242281204 tellows score 8 from California
2. 7188416490 tellows score 9 from New York

Hello folks,

the spammer’s week has been a busy one and pretty unnerving as well. Blessed are those with nerves of steel. Nonetheless, there has been a change on the podium.

UK’s Most Wanted:

1. 01613128082 tellows Score 7 from Manchester
2. 01792763475 tellows Score 7 from Swansea
3. 01482408582 tellows Score 8 premium rate service

The pole position is still held by last weeks number one, a claims company based in Manchester. 2600 search requests and 13 comments indicate a high level of activity this week. The self-proclaimed department of justice is still in hot pursuit and claims 2nd place again. Newcomer on the podium is The Money Group whose calls triggered 1500 search requests and 4 comments.

Our User chrissie offered an adequate resonse to one of the scammers:

They rang me 09.12.11 saying I was due a refund from a previous loan. I said to the young man ‘Well that’s funny because I’ve never had a loan in my life,’ then he offered to tell me a joke as a good will measure. I said ‘I’ve already heard a joke thank you.’ It turned into a giggle.

Across the Atlatnic ocean scammer strategies seem not to be far different from those employed by fraudsters in the Old World. Let’s have a closer look:
1. 2142831316 tellows Score 9
2. 905488209664 tellows Score 7
3. 9722178347 tellows Score 9

All quiet on the Western front as far as the ranking of the Most Wanted is concerned. Unfortunately, the most annoying of them remains unidentified. The second place goes to the $1m lottery scam. Last but not least, the De Soto based Metro News Service, Inc grinds the peoples gears with repetetive calls.

Liam had quite a suprise waiting for him at home:

I was abroad the last week. upon my return my answering machince welcomed me dozen of recorded calls of silence from this number. I called back and as it turned out, it’s a phone company on the quest for increasing their sales.
