Two today.

Asking if I had experienced/suffered any noise related issues in my lifetime. Then asked me if any of my friends and family had.

So, I asked why? After giving two "no" answers.

"We're ......... (couldn't hear due to mumbling!!) Sheffield United..... would you care to call in at Bramall Lane in the ....... (more mumbling!!) to meet/make an appointment with someone?

Both calls to mobile...

Asked how they got my details and ...... quiet. Then a "Thank You" and then phone down.

Checked out both Sheffield area numbers, but none connected to SUFC as far as I can see. So why are they using SUFC as a reference? Not once, but twice within an hour?

Have you left your number and a positive Blades comment in a Dempseys cubicle by any chance?
 
Just checking whether you were in pal, maybe it was a cautious burglar

Not the one they called on.
The only other number was obsolete years ago, but that was due to work.
It was the mention of SUFC/Bramall Lane by them... that's what's baffling.

Does anyone know if there's any functions/meetings lined up at BDTBL that aren't football related?

Strange. Did you look the numbers up on those whocallsme sites? I gather that telephone scammers can now fake it to look like a local number when it's not so I probably wouldn't call them back (on you own phone anyway ;) ) in case it's actually a premium rate line.

Number 01 - 494 searches.
Number 02 - 556 searches.

Nothing more than just the usual "scams" listed... but it was the SUFC/Bramall Lane quote...

Both numbers aren't SUFC listed either.

Should have just kept them on the line, as I do when anybody tries scamming or selling me something. It's only after I've 'looked for my credit card' for as long as it needs before they realise they're being had that I consider putting the phone down. Loud speaker of course so I can carry on as normal in the mean time. They don't call again.

hmm all those searches. Maybe they are just trawling through Sheffield numbers and taking a 50/50 gamble on which club. With this thing about hearing problems I can't see any way that could be club related so got to think it's a scam.

Once though I did start getting calls from debt collection agencies - they told me the name and the street of the debtor and it was about half a mile away. I looked them up on BT directory and it was someone whose number was one digit different to mine. I didn't give them her number just told them to look it up themselves.

I'm a bit of a security expert with this sort of thing Lydders.
I'll sort it for you mate. You'll have the company name, number and even the name of the the person who called you within the hour.
Just PM me your bank details so I can secure them and I'll get back to you with all the info you need.

I think it's me that's the saddo mate.
I've always been a bit of a torment.....ask my kids, nephews and nieces, friends, work colleagues
All done in the best possible taste of course, but sometimes I can pee people off with my lack of seriousness!!
Still, maybe I'll grow up one day :)

When I get these calls I always say 'pardon?' (several times) . They usually hang up and I'm sure it pisses them right off.
Yes, I know, very childish, but it makes me happy.

Me too but I drag it out by saying 'it's a really bad line' and after they've said it twice I repeat it back to them. I can do that three or four times before they realise I'm taking the piss. If I'm really bored I'll stop doing it after the second one, then start doing it again later.
