Hello everyone. I'm new here and I'm happy I found this forum! 
End of last year someone from the UK called me on my mobile. And when I tried to phone back, there was a German announcement telling me this number is not as*igned.
I did a research at http://www.ukphoneinfo.com and it says, this number is potentially valid.
So I think this 'someone' is forwarding incoming calls to a German mobile number that doesn't exist.
ukphoneinfo.com located that number in SW London, Horseferry Road at Magistrates' Court. Not a location from where I expect phone calls you cannot call back, definitely!
Alas, the links here: http://detectiveforums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=45 couldn't help me. They're all for the States, I think.
Any ideas to trace back a number from the UK?
Thanx in advance

Greetings Magma!
The first thing I would do is type the number directly into all of the major UK search engines. |
Yeah that's what I did first at google.com. Do you think I'll find more using UK search engines?
No I didn't talk to the person, I was busy at the time. But I tried to call back, as you already know quite unsuccessfull.

I know about that. I'm from Germany and it happens from time to time that I receive calls from German call centers. Strange numbers they use sometimes, thats right. But, if this call was from a british call center, how the hell do they know that I'm able to speak English?  Most Germans don't...  |

Heh - You said that when you call the number - it traces back to a British call center? What do call centers usually call people for overseas? I'm not too familiar with them.

Maybe - they forwarded the call through another phone number. Was it someone that had a grudge against you?
Did you call your phone provider. Usually - if someone threatened you (you can tell them that) they can give you more direct information about the call. They all keep logs. At least in the US. |

Hey 4MyInfo - Welcome to the boards!
Simply Go to the following sites:
www.google.co.uk
www.lycos.co.uk
www.altavista.co.uk
www.yahoo.co.uk
Enter the number in the search box. If the number is 245 772 8823 just enter that number directly inside the search box and press enter.
Here is a tip: Put quotation marks around the number to produce better results. So if the phone number was 245 772 8823 put quotation marks around it so it looks like this: "245 772 8823".
I would like to hear back from both of you! (magma and 4myinfo)
Did you find what you were looking for? |
