I'm being plagued with calls from Bolivia Mauritania and other places.


Evidently this is now a global scam affecting thousands of people world wide.


The calls only ring for a few seconds and are designed to encourage people to return the call.

Obviously I am not going to return a call to these destinations but people who have, have had bills

$20 to hundreds of dollars. I have managed to answer a couple of call and get a recorded message in a

foreign language followed by a BEEP. Possibly just cutting off or asking you to leave a message.


I have contacted EE and no outstanding calls or high rate calls are on my bill.


Just be aware and be very careful if you get any calls from foreign destinations,

I just cleared down. The calls started at 03.00am this morning but I am still getting them.

I am having to block the numbers but new numbers keep arriving.

      Vet recommendation

      By NewWave · Posted

      I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.

      Be careful in local shops

      In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.

      There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can.
