I have been receiving the same calls and also receive calls from a private number with all the same characteristics. The call stops before it has a chance to reach message bank, this is probably so they don't incurr unnecessary connection fees. My advice is to make them pay for the inconvenience and frustration they cause and cancel the call as it comes in so it goes to message bank and costs them a connection fee. It has been making me feel much better knowing they are paying for not speaking to me!!

Receiving more than two calls per day from this number and they hang up when answered.

Unrecognised number and unknown to the receiver of th call.

I have had 7 missed calls from this number over the past 4 days, Im always at work when they ring so never been able to answer it...

Always call during work hours and never leave msg. Called the number and it is Avon Direct Marketing as mentioned...very annoying and they are relentless!!!  I lost count of how many times they've called on mb and home line! Isn't there a law against this???

I received a call from this number at 1.06pm on the 18/1/2011.  They hung up after I answered it.
