Has anybody had a call from this number?

I've had it call me a few times this week, each time i answer it just goes dead. I googled it and found a link to "Egypts Heritage Task Force" Facebook page.

Anyway, they just called again and hung up so I called it back...

"Hello this is James from Sheffield United Football Club, how can I help you?"

I explained i'd had a missed call, he took my name then turned into a sleezy telesales guy trying to get me to join a competition to win 4 tickets and a signed shirt. On top of this, I could be entered into the blades superdraw... all for £8 per month

Since when did SUFC start spamming people?
 



I had a missed call a couple of days ago from this number... Just had a quick Google and then ignored it.

I'd guess that Superdraw has outsourced for some marketing/telesales... Sure Rooks could confirm if this was genuine/the case.
 
Trying to get you to sign up to the superdraw.

Last year it was a load of scousers who were calling, trying to make sales by with their faux knowledge of Sheffield United. Once you say no, you can guarantee you'll get called agin at least once a week for the next few weeks then it eventually stops until the start of next season.

They must be raking it in if they hang up when the potential victim answers their call!:D
 
Ive had a call from 2 x Scottish nos and the one in the OP
I had some last year asking me to sign up to the Blades Super Draw even though Ive been a member since it started in November 1986, I told them them I was already a member on more than one occasion
SUFC should get their act together

I had a call from a very hesitant young woman. Asked if I'd heard of Super Draw. I said yes and I don't participate because I'm am a long-standing season ticket holder that's pumped enough into the club over the years and not willing to pump any more in, thank you.
 
Ive had it too. Soon as she said superdraw I told her I wasn't interested
 
yep - had it too..........can someone put them in the TWATS section.

Rings 3 times - some sort of buzzing on the other end then rings off.

Unsolicited phone call - they'll get the usual response if I ever get to speak to someone of Foxtrot Oscar.

UTB

Definitely came across as outsourced. He had to think hard before saying g "Wilder's doing OK so far don't you think?" He hesitated for too long before saying his name.
 
I had one this afternoon. Asked me how I was enjoying the season so far, told him I haven't seen us win yet as I'd missed the last two home games. He asked if I would make it to Scunthorpe, I said I'll probably miss the next two as I'm recovering from an operation. He asked me if I wanted to enter a draw to win a signed shirt, I said no thank you. He wished me a speedy recovery.

Sounds like same bloke I had. Same sort of questions. It was when I said "yes, season seems to be piking up nicely" when he stuttered and said "erm, yeah, ERM Wilder"... That's it Wilder.
 
Wait till you get a call from some asians in Blackburn,asking you if you worked in heavy industry and how you're hearing was and you could claim thousands in compensation.

I just said can you speak up i can't hear you,so he reiterated the shit again,so i said speak up again i can't hear you,he hung up :D its true too.

Duplicated that reply myself yesterday when I got the call !

Backed off though so not too annoying !!
 
I had the same call yesterday. The girl seemed positive and nice enough but scattered. I told her I'd think about it but if I did I would feel comfortable giving my bank details to SUFC directly.

I don't object to the call, I think people get precious about these types of calls for no good reason, but I didn't expect United to go to such measures to drum up some business. With every square inch of the kit being sponsored + subs/extra time I thought we'd be OK!

I got three calls from a Scouse woman with the same name, from three different company names, all about that minor bump or crash I had in the last two years and that I was entitled to compensation. I had some fun with them asking about information on it, where they go it from and so on. Turns out it's on the "national accident database". I asked her to read exactly what it said about me, "It just says you had a minor bump or crash". It uses those exact words? It says "minor bump"? "Erm...yes.". And no date? "Uh...in the last two years". She actually got pretty aggressive when I told her there was no National Accident Database. They stopped calling after I asked why she worked for three companies.

Yeah, had that, eventually said 'oh yes, I did have an accident' left it hanging until he asked me what it was then said 'I got stuck in a traffic jam and pissed myself'.

Recently had a bloke trying to get me to invest in the 'fine art market'. After a while I explained that he was just trying to sell me worthless 'investments' and he accused me of liable. So I said 'sue me then'. His response was 'no, you seem like a nice guy'. After fucking around with him for another ten minutes I think he realised I was a bit of a twat.

Didn't Kevin Mcabe fall for one of these phone scams from some Nigerian bloke who promised 500 million investment?

To be fair, it was 500 million Nigerian Dollars, which equates to about £3.64. This paid for the Coffee that Kev got that morning ;)
