    Ok thanks jim, I did try to get the number which we can do in the U.K. sometimes by dialling 1471 but got a message that it was unavailable. Is the caller already connected/hooked into your computer when he calls or does he have to get you to do something first, to gain access? Thanks

    No, they don't even know you have a computer. To prove this next time they call, and there will be a next time...tell them you don't have one. I'd just leave it though and not talk to them. I just can't see my call display without glasses so I just pick up. I have time anyway... I could hear the background noises of a home during this whole thing. They're calling from their own home I'm sure...kids in the background and all.
    Regards, Jim
