Additional information about this scam:
Managed to waste their time with a friend for about an hour a day before this was posted, had a lot of fun doing this, they fell for it really easily, they ask for you to install team viewer, where we deliberately turned off the computer (as to not install teamviewer and waste their time further) after that I promptly informed them that I had wasted their time, and ended the call. If you want to hide your caller ID, put 141 before the number. (I think this might only work in the UK, where I live)

Their VM’s reporting they are currently closed. I will save this for Monday. On your U.K. mobile, go into settings on the phone app and turn OFF your caller ID. If you have unlimited free calls, wind the bar stewards up.

Both telephone numbers are still live. If you are in the US, you can use Skype to call this 0800 number for free. Enjoy winding them up.
