   Your comment, Not Grumpy, is most interesting. What it tells me is that it was the dangerous criminals at work, as they have been for years. They used to use numbers that could be traced inasmuch as that they were usually from India. Now they have got more sophisticated and it is not so easy to identify them by crackling, indistinctness and voices in the background. I think they work through Skype or something similar. Though I am not a Skype user I believe those who are can choose a telephone number of their invention. The criminals appear to use a different one each day, which would account for you getting so many calls from people who were merely returning calls made in their absence. I could have done so myself, having a friend living in your area, but as nuisance calls on my line far outnumber genuine ones, often two or three a day, I would have smelled a rat. EE and BT, I suggest, ought to have been able to tell you all this, and also that you are unlikely to get bothered this way in the future unless you are very unlucky. I will no doubt continue to get bothered, as I was yesterday when the caller on a fictitious number called, said he was Talk Talk, and asked how I was doing. I coldly ordered him to repeat what he had said several times, and when he was speaking clearly enough for my satisfaction told him it was none of his business. He instantly rang off. I was able to resume what I had been doing when interrupted. I did not report this call, but many like it are to be found under the "Talk Talk fake" category.

   There was no-one there when I answered. This made me suspicious because I associated it with a call yesterday which was also silent, and which was definitely from a dodgy source. My conclusion is that this one was, at very least, a nuisance call.

   This is my landlines and I had several calls yesterday saying they had received calls from me when I hadn't made the calls. Reported to supplier, EE,who had already detected a fault and informed BT Openreach. They advised they would ring when repaired but have not yet rung
