I have been called 5 times tonight by an 07061 number-i know not 2 call back.. but how do you block these pls?

This is a question for UK answers please... i checked a site about some scams etc etc and saw that these numbers call you but only ring once or twice... but can find no information about how to stop the darned things calling...

I already use TPS... so that will not help me... one time I made sure I answered in time before they hung up and all I could hear was an outgoing ringing sound.... as though my phone was suddenly routed to them I of course hung up immediately.

This was my search results page http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=navclient&...

and I also looked at a thread at jamesmiller.com

However if anyone can help out in any other way, please do!!!

Thankyou :-) :-)

Update 2:

Contacting BT will be of no help as it is calling a VODAFONE cell phone number :-)

I appreciate all the answers thus far, thanks everyone....

    Contact your telephone service provider.

    They can put that number onto a block list - to prevent them calling you again.

    Don't answer it again. There will be a con somewhere 'along the lines.'

    Contact your line provider. I was connected up to some factory's modem once. Phone rang every 5 mins. contacted bt, it stopped.

    type the full number into ask jeeves and it should bring up the company name who's phoning you,

    ive done this before

    call your phone service provider and tell them that you want the number blocked.
