I get calls to my mobile from these numbers. The phone only ever rings once. Even that ring is truncated as if the call is disconnected as soon as it possibly can be.
As it's clearly not a real person there I never call back. I figure if a real person really wanted to talk to me then they would let the phone ring out. Heck they might even leave a message.
So - more interesting - does anyone know who these people are? Leave a comment if you have any ideas? Double leave a comment if you know how to stop them!

Hey Richard, Had similar calls myself from that number but also 08716238929 (pretty identical, eh) google'd it and found out that its a scam costing 'bout a fiver to callback....bunch of fooker's. Everybody seemed to have advertised on autotrader recently....i did too but about a year ago! Big issue is though, no one knows how to stop it....! Anyways google that number and see what others have said.

yeah its a scam, you get called by random 0871 numbers throughout the day, do not ring back because it will cost you about £5 per minute. This happened to me after advertising my car on autotrader. Yet to find a solution to the problem.

I'm looking like the only one (so far) who *hasn't* used Auto Trader.

Also advertising in Friday-Ad causes these calls to happen

Aha - I advertised in TradeIt - similar idea - maybe that is what did it for me.

I have had a couple from 08716236505 in the last few weeks. As far as I remember I haven't advertised on TradeIt, Auto Trader or any of the others, at least in the last two or three years. I just assume it is a scam. The phone companies aren't going to do anything to stop it as they earn money from the calls as well.
I Googled the number and this was the only link that came up. I was expecting a load of eBay adverts to buy the number as well but they weren't there....

A year and a half on and these people are still anoying off innocent people like me! as well as these numbers I'm still getting 1 second missed calls from the following numbers:
08716232828 08716231923 08716235676 08716236505 08718237539 08718237549 08718239394 08718237523 08718237502 08719511081 08719511086
Now tell me, is that loads or wot? All in 1 week. I've even been called twice on a Sunday morning and just got back from my night shifts ................................. makes my blood boil!

I've had quite a few calls from 08719511035, one ring then hangs up. I haven't advertised in Autotrader but have with Trade-It - maybe they use the same company to do their sales calls. Would love to get the personal number of whoever is behind these calls.............or better still their home address.
