It's so annoying when you rush down two flights of stairs, risking a fall, just to answer the phone, and all you get is dead air. When someone finally speaks, it’s just a quiet "hello hello" before they hang up. Drives me mad!

Got a call from this number on the 2nd of April round 4 in the afternoon, but there was silence when I picked up. This hasn’t been the first time either, they’ve rung me about three or four times already.

Got a call earlier and I reckon it was some sort of scam.

I've had calls from numbers I don't recognise four times already this morning. It's getting really annoying now!

This number keeps calling me from a call centre. Whenever I see it ringing, I just block it straight away. No point answering!

(them) Are you having loads of scam calls lately?
(me) Yeah, and you’re definitely one of them.
They suggested signing me up for some call blocking gadget.
I just hung up straight away.

They keep pushing a call blocker to stop annoying calls, but why dont they just block their own numbers first? Feels kinda pointless, if you ask me.

My phone showed this number when it rang, but as soon as I picked up, the call got cut off... really frustrating!

Got a ring at about 7.10pm today. As soon as I picked up, they just cut off. So irritating!

I got a call earlier saying there was a complaint about nuisance calls coming through. The person on the line mentioned someone from our postcode had called it in, but I never made any complaint. When I told them that, they just ended the call.

Got a call from abroad, some annoying number, but they just ended it before I had the chance to ask who it was.

Had another annoying call from some random number. I usually let the phone ring around five times if I don't know who's calling or if I’m not expecting anyone, and by the time I pick up, they’ve normally hung up. Best way to dodge those pesky calls!

Phone buzzed but when i answered nothing, just loads of static and weird noises.

Got a call earlier today but all I could hear was annoying static and weird white noise. Quite frustrating.

Theyre such a pain - loads of times no one answers on the other end. Honestly, whats the use of the TPS if it doesnt block those international calls too?

I got calls from this number three times today. The first two times there was nothing but silence. On the third call, after some silence, I heard a guy with an Asian accent repeatedly saying “oh my god, oh my god.” I told him he was daft, then he asked if he was talking to Mrs... so I just hung up. Proper annoying, honestly!

I got two calls from this number. The first was from a guy with an Asian accent offering some sort of box that supposedly stops sales calls, costing £1.90 a month for 3 years. When they rang again, there was just silence and then they hung up.

Got a call around lunchtime today. When I answered, no one spoke right away, so I just stayed quiet thinking it was some kind of scam. After a moment, a bloke with an Asian accent said hello. I asked who it was, and he told me I didn’t need to know before hanging up. Pretty weird experience!

Some bloke rang me claiming he was from the Do Not Call list down in Bournemouth. I just told him to sod off and quit messing about with my time.

Today I got a call from this number, and it was a guy with an Asian accent who kept sayin he could help stop all my annoying sales calls. I told him I’m already on the TPS, and all he said was “Oh”. Then I asked him to take my number off his list.

Got a call from this number today and I picked up. A lady just said hello but didn’t say anythin else. I asked her name and she said Susan. When I asked why she was calling, she just said nothing and hung up. So weird!

Got a call from someone pretending to be from the "do not call" list, saying they could block all unwanted calls (funny, right?). They even mentioned that they knew I was signed up with the telephone preference service, so I've gone ahead and reported them to TPS.

We've had loads of annoying calls like this one lately. Thankfully we've got caller ID so I just ignore them. It's so frustrating how these callers don't ever give up ringing.

Got a call today from them. They pretended to be some government backed group, but it sounded dodgy to me. They said they were from the UK, but the accent was totally off and the call didn’t feel local at all. Definitely seemed suspicious.

Got yet another call from a sales rep today. Can’t they take a hint?

Like the others have said, it’s pretty much the same story. The only difference is they actually had our postcode which was a bit worrying.

We've had calls from this number and honestly, it's really annoying having them keep pestering us like this.

We picked up the landline when this number called us, and they were offering some sort of device to block spam calls. The person chatted on for around five minutes before handing the phone to someone else, who sounded completely clueless about what to say next. We ended the call pretty quickly after that. Now, the handset won’t function properly, and instead of showing caller ID, it just displays ‘busy’. Our other phones are fine, but we can’t help wondering if they somehow messed with our line or hacked the number.

Got a phone call from someone pushing a call blocker subscription for £1.94 a month to keep unwanted calls at bay. When I joked about selling her a tin can with string as my "blocker," she got really annoyed. Honestly, she should’ve guessed I’m in sales too and wouldn’t fall for it! I always report these calls, and a trick from my gran is to just blow a whistle down the phone - it seems to freak them out and they hang up pretty quick.

Over the past couple of days, this number keeps calling but when I answer, there’s no one speaking on the line. Honestly, it'd be better if I could at least hear someone to yell at instead of silence!

Got a call from some bloke pushing call blockers to stop nuisance calls. He said it’d only be like a quid a month or something. I just told him “no thanks, bye” and ended the call. Bit of a laugh how annoying it all is though!

I received a call from this number, but since it was displayed as "International" on my BT phone, I chose to ignore it and let it ring through to my voicemail. As is usually the case with these sorts of calls, no voicemail was left. The fact that it starts with 001 suggests it’s from North America, but the number itself is suspiciously brief. If they’re using a dodgy caller ID, one has to wonder what else about them is fabricated. Save yourself the hassle and don’t bother picking up for this number!

This number just will not stop calling me to pitch some call blocking device. I keep ending the call straight away, but it's honestly starting to get really irritating.

Received a call from this number today. They inquired after someone using my maiden name, claiming to look for a 'Mrs. (maiden name)'. Naturally, I informed them that there was no one of that name associated with this number. The chap on the other end sounded rather crestfallen and promptly ended the call. Quite amusing, really! I can't help but chuckle at the thought they were probably trying to pitch me some gadget to block unwanted marketing calls. Oh, the irony!

It was rather peculiar when that call came through just as we were inundated with sales inquiries and desperately trying to wrap things up. The irony of the situation was not lost on me!

I checked the directory for this phone number, but it's linked to the Bank of Canada, and I've never managed to get through to them.
