At 18.53 on 20/8/13 a lady with a strong foreign accent phoned and said she was doing a home survey and said "it would only take a minute of your time". I said I don't do home surveys on the phone and hung up.

I bought a new phone because of these calls. Panasonic do a phone with "Night Time" mode. Program in all your friends and family numbers, turn "Night Time" mode ON and that's it. The phone only rings when friends or family call. I check the call list weekly and have avoided 12 calls from 01792720067 ... that's 2 fingers up to them

Call repeatedly but this time I answered. I asked who they were and they hung up. Dodgy bunch of crooks. Do wonder if anyone in India has a real job?
