SCAM ALERT!

According to OFCOM, the 0336 range is unallocated, in any case all 03 numbers are charged at standard rates same as 01 or 02.

Be careful if calling from a mobile as they can cost up to 55p per minute depending on your provider. See:

True, but that's still the same as standard 01/02 rates on those providers.

?37.50 each weekday is almost ?800 pcm.

Just type scam numbers into Google (without spaces, especially not in the wrong places like yours) to see lists of complaints from other victims.

I y think you missed the point here. However scammers seldom listen to what you say, they just wont you to hear what they say, and are not foolish enough to ring premium rate numbers. They normally also block their own number so if the person has it they can bar it oon something like True call. Brrian

Why not get a call blocker like TrueCall?

I've not had a single spam call since.

How will they know 004433640040407 is premium rate?

They won't, because it isn't.

I have been too lenient on them.

Dave Plowman (News) expressed precisely :

Our Call Blocker has begun showing that someone tried to call from a number it describes as INTERNATIONAL, but never stores a number with it. It is set the only let through calls from its callbook. If they don't present a number it just rejects their call. Now how does it know, if no number is presented, that it is an international call?

All other callers have a number listed, even those using a spoofed phone number. Genuine callers, not in the list, can get through via a procedure of saying their name and me accepting or rejecting their call.

Is this on a BT line? BT had an "issue" about trust of International numbers, and did not pass them to the subscriber. Other operators, particularly mobile operators happily presented them.

Looking at my Asterisk call logs which go back to the end of 2013 I can see 32 instances of the word INTERNATIONAL in the CLID "name" field (not the number field). About half of these don't have a presentation number and they all occur in or before Jan 2014. Then on and after December 204 there is another block of calls with "INTERNATIONAL" in the name field but this time with a number in the number field, many of which look wrongly formatted

Interestingly, the last one was in mid March 2015 and there have been no more INTERNATIONAL since.

I mess around a lot with my server, so I can't guarantee I havn't influenced the apperence and disaperence of these calls, but I don't think I have.

Graham. explained :

You might be correct....

We never saw the INTERNATIONAL when on Talktalk, it began to appear since we moved to Plusnet which is BT (November/December), but only began to appear in the past few weeks.
