Got one of these phone calls t'other day and to be honest, it's an utter disgrace. Apparently they're 100% legal as well, as the "companies" (in this case, company = thievin' money grabbin' criminals) are based at a non-UK location.
Lukily, I'm not stupid so I didn't press "9", but what if my 5-year old cousin had picked up the phone?
Argghhh! It makes me maaad.
Anyone else been hassled by these phone calls?

I dont get any of these phone calls any more. I signed up on a website a while back to remove my number from the calling lists and it seems to have worked.
I cant for the life of me remember the site, before anyone asks. I followed a link from a thread on these forums if thats helps tho.

Nope, it's just a silly rumour. Pressing 9 confirms theres a human at the other end of the line as the machine will just hang up otherwise.

I thought that pressing 9 transfers you to a premium rate connection? Or that's what I've heard.

Um, pressing 9 will do sod all. It just confirms to them that you're at the other end of the phone and it isn't an answering machine.
