This number calls my mobile tel at least 3 times a day and has been doing so for about 6 weeks now.

Ive googled it and it appears to be a debt collection scam.

Any techies out there who no how I can call barr it ?

Anyone else had the same problem ?

I had that - some dodgy phone upgrade co. I rang them and told them to leave me alone...AND THEY DID!!!! It's a Wales number isn't it? It was a while ago with me.

01706 is a Royton number, near Oldham. Some of my family live there and their numbers are 01706.

I do apologise if it is them. They were only let out yesterday.

It's a lancashire number we have it in Rossendale but also in Rochdale, oldham etc. If you phone your provider they can tell you if it's a business no. then you can inform them they nuisance calls and they can block them for you.

Sorry for hijack - you could try telephone preference service?
