Same thing in China, got 7 calls in one single day and I didn't answer.

You can simply ban this number to avoid such annoying thing happen again.

They have called 3x today, first call a male with a heavy accent asked for someone in the office, but pronounced the name so poorly it was almost unrecognizable - they were NOT put through. 2nd and 3rd call they just listened for a few seconds and then hung up. Whatever reason they are calling, we will NOT be doing business with them. Annoying people!

Hi from Spain too.
I've received 3 calls from this number saying they are from The Economist. The guy knew my name, my e-mail address and the date the subscription was going to end. He offered me to renew the subscription by phone with a 30? disccount bonus but I declined when being asked for my credit card number.
I've reviewed Economist.com website and I've found I even did not give them permission to contact me by e-mail so the calls seems to be a fraud...

Received 5 calls from this number. Never answered. Never will.

wtf is that? same thing here...

me too - buggers called me 3 times (I didnt answer) they didnt leave voicemail

Just got a from +44 1142015606.

The person didn´t say anything and hung up after af few seconds.

I tried google the number, and the first hit is this page! Scary!

Me too... (Denmark)

I have also recieved three calls!!

Me too??

The Economist? Strange sales strategy.I have got 15 calls during the last week.

I got such a call on my mobile

I got a similar call from this number today. I'm from Portugal.

It' s 24th  time this number is calling to me...

I've just received a similar call from this number today. who is it???

Yes, seems to be the Economist as I am up for renewal. However, they hung up after 2-3 seconds. Just heard a male voice, he was talking to a colleague, and hung up. Is he paid by calls made, rather than by results?

I work for a marketing company myself, not sure if the Economist is one of the magazines we call out for. But basically, how we operate is we have a database on our computers that is share with us from a magazine's publisher. It is then our job (we're literally the middle men here) to ring each and every number of the publisher's behalf gathering subscriptions.

Once we get to the end of the database, we go back to the start and work through again. We have to keep going until either our deadline hits, or we hit the ammount of registrations the publisher was looking for.

Basically, if you get these calls, tell the person on the other end and if they're doing their job properly, they're mark you down as so and you should stop being pestered. If someone puts you down for a callback, then they're job is on the line for falsifying records and the company could get into huge trouble with the audit commission.

Hope this helps people!

I've received more calls from the same number, but I didn't answer. Who is He/She? What does he/she want?

i m also got the call.i dont understand for what purpose he will make the call?...

Can't believe it...
Got also a Call from this number. She asked for my boss, but didn't tell her name nor wanted to leave a message. Strange behaviour.

I GOT A CALL FROM THIS SAME NUMBER TODAY. IT HAD SOME PERSONAL DATA ON ME AND CLAIMED TO BE CALLING ON BEHALF OF THE "EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION MAGAZINE".
THE NAME AND THE ASCENT OF THE CALLER WAS SOMEHOW FUNNY (MASKED FOR RECOGNITION.
HE ALSO ASKED ME FOR OTHER PERSONAL DETAILS (FINANCIAL EARNINGS)WHICH I DECLINED.

Hi! I am from India.I received a call from the same number yesterday. The person at least knew my full name and said to be calling on behalf of "EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION MAGAZINE".In fact I am a subscriber of "Hart E&P Magazine"and they use to contact me occasionally through e-mail.He wanted to have a talk regarding my application for "Visa" to the UK which I never had applied for.As I was busy in a meeting, I told him to call me back.Today I got a ring from the number.The person didn´t say anything and hung up after af few seconds.

I have received calls from this number some 25-30 times over a period of 3 weeks during the autumn of 2009. They did not leave any message. Normally hung up after a few seconds. When I finally talked to them they confirmed that it was on behalf on the Economist. It has now started again and they have called approx 10 times over the last 4-5 days. Extremely unpleasant experience.

I'm from Spain and I hace received 2 calls from this number. It sounds like an answerphone trying to sell some kind of subscription or service...
The answerphon told me that if I wanted to decline more calls I had to press the number one and then spell my name and other information. Obviously I hung up the phone...
It's very, very unpleasant!!
