I received an automated voice call on Saturday morning, it was in english but with an asian accent.It said it was "a call back service" and if i wanted to accept the call to press 1 and to reject the call press 2.I did what most people would do i just closed the phone.There was no mention of my name or what the call was about plus the fact it reeked of odd. Twenty two calls later during which i had turned my phone off for a couple of hours i eventually pressed 1 out of sheer frustration and the need to tell them to f---k --f. Unfortunately there was no one there, it sounded like a crossed line with lots of voices [thai] all speaking together .However since then the calls have stopped.

In the back of my mind all the time was it was Barclaycard Fraud Dept. who have a bizarre way of contacting customers that sounds more like a scam than the scammers but i have just called them and it wasn't them.

Has anyone had anything similar happen and any ideas as to what consequences are possible by merely replying to a call like this.

Cell phone?

Same incoming phone number?

Your phone have a way to block specific tel #s?

If not, ask your service provider, AIS, DTAC, whichever, if they can do it for you.

I was getting lots of different ads to my AIS phone, all in Thai that I couldn't read, until I went down to the AIS office at Future Park. The gal there punched away at my phone, and now none to only a very few.

I had the same experience.
