 Just had one asking me to call the mobile number and the 'Only Fools & Horses' theme music came up.

Must be a premium rate number scam.

Maybe Delboy had some knockoff signs to sell you.

Have had a similar problem. Have been called (English number !!) many times (with different numbers). They hang up very quick. You see that you have missed a call and you call back.Then you get a tape from some kind of troubleshooter at a callcenter (or whatever conversation they have at that time) and you start to talk to them, but nobody responds. ==> Don't call back! Cost me 34 euro's for 2 minutes !!

No it starts with a Dutch number. I have been called 17 times in 1 hour. Nobody can help me, because they call me with different numbers each time.

That's bad! When it is made illegal in the UK it will just go abroad. I have had my number for years and not about to go and change it but it seems to be getting worse. Looking into a new phone for using Skype with it so no fees. That will show them!
