Cold calls for health supplements, 50 years of Beeching and fare dodging
Duration: 55 minutes
First broadcast: Monday 25 March 2013
Consumer affairs with Julian Worricker. Today: the company that sends health supplements to the elderly, charging hundreds of pounds, whether they want them or not. Fifty years of Beeching's cuts to the railways - we'll be hearing what the impact of those cuts was and how many of the lines that were closed are reopening, and the protestors who advocate fare dodging on public transport.

LISTEN NOW :-) Ajit Patel's listening

idiot

They started calling today.  Does anyone know what or who this is and why?  I am registered do not call.  And do not want to call back the number because I do not want to pay the charges.  Can 800 or 900 numbers be blocked by wireless carriers.  As well is everyone getting these calls on the cell phone.

getting calls from this number

get a life

I have recieved over 15 calls in just the past 4 days,not to mention the other days I didn't count.They donot say anything,I said if you can't talk talk don't bother calling this numer,they continued.Tonight after I had had enough,I told them nicely the same as before,but when they coninued to hang on I went on the rampage and got nasty.I would love to fined out who these people are!!! Sometimes the number shows up and then jut the letter "O" after it,other times just the letter "O". I cannot have the call traced cause my phone is through my cable compant.If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated

I keep getting calls from this annoying idiot.

These jerks have been calling my cell phone at least twice daily...of course, I WILL NOT answer ANY 900 #...my cell provider gave me a website to register for call blocking but I have to pay 2.95 per phone number to have blocked...that's a bunch of BS...these people are getting OUR info yet to protect ourselves, instead of being able to rely on our providers, WE have to pay......pisses me off BAD....

I have been getting this call everyday. They have called my home phone for the past month 10 times a day. I don't answer it and no one leaves a message.

I just got a phone call from this number to my cell phone.  I was in the store when it rang so I answered it because my phone rings rather loudly.  No one was on the other end when I answered.  Who is this and why are the calling ME??

I have only received one call on my cell phone from this number, but due to prior experience, I researched them on the internet.  It is a scam telling people that they have won a 2-3 day vacation & $1000 shopping spree.  you can find more info @ this website:

I keep getting this number on my cell. Who is this annoying person? They never leave amessage. It is starting to piss me off. Please check into this matter.

Got call tonight figured another bill collector so did not answer but it was a 900 # so checked it on Google and this is crap. I get enough crap calls ontop of someone trying to take my cash over the phone what has happened to AMERICA!!!!! WE MUST FIGHT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm tired of these people calling me....they call 5 or 6 times a day and no one says anything

These people rang my cell and nobody was there. I tried to call it back and it won't go through as dialed.
What a joke using up my minutes.

wish they would quit calling

They went all day without calling and I just got another call from them. They call my cell and then my home. Never leave a message and on my caller ID at home it just says 900Service for name. I put both my numbers on Do Not Call List last night but the website says you have to wait 31 days to file a complaint about harrassing phone calls like this.
But I am with the other people. I am not going to answer it or try to call back and see what it is because of all the horror stories I have heard about 900 numbers charging all kinds of $$. I figure if it's THAT IMPORTANT they will leave a message.

I too have been receiving this call.  It hits my cell phone two to three time a night.  I work evenings so I don't answer it but this needs to stop. Someone needs to identify who this company is and shut them down.  It seems the police feel it mor important to harass people on the roads than to get the real scammers.

This number has came into my phone and then calls itself back out.
I called Sprint and they said they have no idea of who the number belongs to, and they then said, well why don't you call them and find out who they are.
I explained 10 times to different IDIOTs at SPRINT that I don't have 900 access on my phone, and think they need to check into it.
They can't figure it out, and they can't help me.  So they hang up and don't want to help with anything.

I have been getting these calls on and off!  Just a quick question did any of you guys fill anything out on the internet for like a loan or any kind of application.  One time I did get someone to talk and he said I had won a $500/month for 6 months grant from Social Security and then asked for my info I told him if thats the case they can send me a check in the mail since they are goverment.  Its people you trust your info with that are selling it to these scam artist!

Two times called on my cell.  I work with the telephone company and I know that 900 numbers on a bill mean $$$.  I don't answer when they call.  But if I find out who they are, I am gonna stick a silver cross through their engines....

This guy has called on my cell phone 4 times.  The caller ID also came up with 1010  and 1015 then this 900 called.  Some guy with accent calling @ 7/8 at night claimning to be from the Social Security Adminstration.

F'n thief

This # has been callin me for a couple days now. Next time they call, I am gonna answer and then repeat everything the caller says. That usually takes care of them from callin. If they continue to call, I will then answer and tell them off hardcore. I will repost after they call again (chances are they will according to this thread)

I have been getting about 4 of these calls per day

I got a miss call on my cell phone and tried to call the number but my cell phone company refused to put the call through

I started getting calls from this number about a week ago. They call at least 5 times a day, sometimes as early as 7:00 am and as late as 10:00 pm. I finally answered twice but no one is there. Is there anything that can be done to stop these calls?

I have been getting these calls also. I picked up once and it was a woman. I went ahead and hung up right away. They called pretty late. Please help me find out how they got my number. I am going to change my phone number.

this 900 # keeps calling my cell phone.  i have no idea who it is an i will not answer it, to afraid its a scam to access my phone and run up a bill

Well i was going to answer it but not now.  Its called me twice in 20 minutes.  What did people do to get them to stop or do they still do it?

this number has been calling my Cell phone at least 7 times or more a day for the past 2.5 weeks.At first would not answer.Today answered the guy asked for me he sounded middle eastern. I said what whatever it I s I am not interested and hung up. They Called right Back !!!  Really starting to really PEEVE ME OFF!!
