Had a few calls now from this number? Anyone know who it is? No one speaks when I answer it anyway.

Had another one from 01118? What are these numbers? It does not make any sense?

They're both false CLIs.

Give 'em the whistle treatment.

Well, 0113 is Leeds under the 1995 renumbering procedures and 0118 Reading under those in 2000. It makes one wonder whether someone is deliberately trying to appear that they're phoning from a 'legitimate' UK number when they could actually be phoning from god knows where.

Out of interest, I've recently had a number of calls from 01607 999 9999 (which I haven't answered because it looked dodgy. Now of course, this can't exist under UK numbering conventions, being a 12 digit number

Any ideas as to what the point of origins of these calls are, and what their purpose might be?
