Hi guys,

we have an issue at the moment, where throughout the afternoon we get calls from these weird numbers.


It's the same guy, but different numbers flash up on our caller Display each time.


It is a +649 number, but one can tell that the caller ID is spoofed.

Example:+6490344556454

I get my father to answer the phone on most occasions, but he keeps on saying they hear his voice, then there is a long pause, and  then they hang up.

This is very annoying, we try ignoring the phone, but they keep on phoning back.

3 times yesterday, and 3 times they day before, and 4 times the day before.

This happens from about 1pm, and goes on till after 9pm.



Does Slingshot, have any tools to identify the source of these numbers, to block them or anything?

We are getting fed up of these guys calling, next time they phone, I'm going to yell down the line for them to Fk off, and don't call this fking number again, as we are fed up.. This has been going on for at least the past week.

Give them a call.  They will have a procedure for dealing with nuisance calls.  You'll need to name at least 4 examples.

Contacting your phone provider is always the first step.
