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!

Received a call from this number on 2nd April around 4 PM. When I picked up, there was just silence on the other end. This isn’t the first time they’ve rung me; I reckon it’s happened about three or four times now.

Received a phone call earlier on and I have a hunch it might be a dodgy one.

I've received four calls from mystery numbers this morning alone. I'm thoroughly exasperated with this constant bother!

I've been receiving incessant calls from a call centre at home. The moment I see the number pop up, I promptly erase it from my phone.

(Them) Have you been inundated with dodgy calls lately? (Me) Absolutely, and you’re among them! Then they suggested signing me up for some call-blocking gadget. I just hung up.

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.

Every time my phone goes off, it shows this number, and when I pick up, it just cuts off. It’s really frustrating!

Received a call earlier at 19:10. They hung up as soon as I picked up. Quite infuriating, I must say!

Rang me up today claiming there was a complaint regarding nuisance calls linked to my number. I told him I hadn’t made any such report, but he insisted someone in our postcode had. I reiterated that I hadn't filed a complaint, and then he abruptly ended the call. Quite odd, really.

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!

Called, but it was all for naught. Just an echo of silence and a crackle in the background.

Gave them a bell today but all I got was a load of crackling and dead air. Utterly infuriating!

What a complete shambles! Half the time, no one's around. What's the point of having a telephone preference service if they can't even put a stop to all these pesky international calls?

Today, I received three calls from this number. The initial two were just dead air, which was rather odd. On the third attempt, there was a moment of silence before an Asian-accented chap started exclaiming, "Oh my god, oh my god!" I couldn't help but call him a fool, and then he went on to ask if he was chatting with Mrs...... At that point, I just hung up. Absolutely infuriating, wouldn’t you agree?!

I've had a couple of calls from this number. The first one was a bloke with an Asian accent, claiming he could provide me with a device that would block sales calls for just £1.90 a month over three years. Then, on the second call, there was nothing but silence before they abruptly hung up. Quite strange, really!

Received a call during lunch today. As I answered, there was a curious pause on the other end, which immediately raised my suspicions-definitely felt like a scam. I chose to stay quiet for a moment, and then an individual with an Asian accent greeted me. I inquired about the identity of the caller, but to my surprise, he replied that it was of no relevance to me before abruptly hanging up. Quite bizarre, really!

I got a call from this number earlier on. An Asian gentleman on the line claimed he could help me stop those pesky sales calls. I mentioned that I’m already registered with the Telephone Preference Service, and he just responded with an “Oh.” I then requested him to take my number off his list.

Had a rather bothersome call where they claimed to have a device that could block nuisance calls. I firmly told them I had no interest whatsoever and requested that they cease their calls immediately.

Today I received a call from this number, so I picked up. A lady greeted me with a simple "Hello" and then left it at that. I pressed for her identity, and she replied with just "Susan." Curious about her intentions, I inquired further, but she insisted she wanted nothing and promptly hung up. Quite odd, to say the least!

Beware of the "do not call" ruse! They assert they can put an end to those pesky nuisance calls (the irony is not lost on me). They insisted they were aware that I’m listed with the telephone preference service, so I decided to notify TPS about their dubious activities.

I've lost count of the number of annoying calls we seem to be receiving. We have caller ID, so we just ignore them. It's incredibly frustrating that these individuals continue to ring us up!

Indeed, I received a call today. They attempted to convince me they were affiliated with a government-backed agency, but it raised my eyebrows. They claimed to be based in the UK, yet the accent sounded quite foreign-I could tell it was not a local one. Very dodgy if you ask me!

I keep getting calls from this number, and to be honest, I’m rather fed up with these persistent callers. I’d rather they didn’t keep bothering me!

We picked up our landline when this number rang and ended up chatting to a salesperson pushing some gadget meant to eliminate unwanted calls. They babbled incessantly for a good five minutes before transferring us to a colleague who appeared utterly clueless about what to do next. Frustrated, we hung up, but now our handset is acting peculiar; instead of displaying the incoming number, it just reads ‘busy.’ All our other handsets seem fine, yet we can’t shake the feeling they may have tampered with our line somehow.

Received a ring from someone insisting I required a call-blocking service to fend off incessant calls. They attempted to persuade me to part with £1.94 a month for access to some so-called 'secure system' designed to eliminate such nuisances. Well, let me tell you, they got a bit flustered when I cheekily offered to sell her a tin can with string attached, claiming it would guarantee a peaceful phone experience! Honestly, you'd think she’d learn not to pitch to someone who’s dealt with sales for years. I suggest reporting these chancers every single time or, as my wise old neighbour advised, use a whistle technique to bother them in return. Just blow it into the receiver, and off they scamper!

Over the past couple of days, this number has been calling me repeatedly, but when I pick up, it's as if I've been met with complete silence. Honestly, I'd prefer to have someone at the other end to give a piece of my mind to rather than this annoying void!

The discomfort at the back just won't seem to let up, does it?

I received a bothersome call earlier from someone peddling a device to stop nuisance calls. They claimed it would only set me back about a pound each month. I politely declined with a "no thanks, cheerio" and promptly ended the conversation. It's a bit rich, really-if it weren't so irritating, I might almost find it amusing!

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!

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.
