Normally I use whocallsme.com for this sort of thing, but the that site refuses the (invalid) caller ID as too short.

I've had a few missed calls from +800 over the past couple of weeks where they'vve rung off quickly; today I answered the mobile in time. A caller with a possibly-Indian accent, they knew my name and claimed to be conducting a survey relating to life in the UK. I declined to participate, pointing out that I had never heard of the organisation and they were calling with invalid caller ID; if I'd been more on-the-ball I should have asked them how they got my details and point out that my mobile is TPS registered. At least now they've got through to me the once I can but hope that they don't try again.

TPS sadly doesn't apply to overseas callers. Which is why people use overseas call centres to get around the law.

Indeed, though if they were calling on behalf of a UK organisation there's a grey area where I can still insert legitimate fleas into ears, if I can find out whom...
