Re: I'm sick of such PPI calls
"[...] it didn't look right and I got the impression it had a digit missing."
The purpose of the spoofed number is to bypass filters that block "withheld" or "international" callers.
What annoys me is that the doctors' surgery and the local council all register as "withheld". I don't understand why they aren't presenting some general number that can be recognised and rung back if necessary. British Gas do that correctly.
