10 yearsAn unexpected hush, followed by a final farewell.10 yearsWithout fail, this individual calls daily even after I've firmly requested them to stop. The caller is a chap with a distinctly foreign accent, and if I utter anything outside of his preferred script, he promptly hangs up.10 yearsGot a call from this number just now. Some woman with a foreign accent claimed she was from Imperial Telecom - thought for a sec she’d say it was Microsoft Security warning about my PC! She started talking about lowering my line rental and all that. I let her carry on a bit, but when she asked for my date of birth, I said no way. She asked why and I told her I’d only just started a two-year contract a few months ago. There was a pause, then she just said thanks and hung up. Pretty sure she reckoned I was wasting her time!Imperial TelecomMicrosoft Security10 yearsJust like a bunch of others, I got a call from a guy named "Matt" who spoke with a thick Asian accent. He claimed he was ringing from Imperial Telecom, saying they'd cut my monthly bill. Since I don't have any deal with them, I told him I thought it was dodgy. Then he just ended the call.MattImperial Telecom10 yearsGot a call from this number the other day, some woman speaking with a thick Mumbai accent claiming she's from Imperial Telecom offering some "special deal". These folks from this line just won't give up, no matter how nice or straight up I get with them. It’s like they’ve got monsoon madness messing with their heads or something. Next time I hear from them, I’m asking if they’ve finally made it back to Kampithura or not!MumbaiImperial TelecomKampithura10 yearsHad another one of those annoying calls today from some telemarketer that just hangs up the moment I pick up. It’s the third time this bloody day! Honestly, when is there gonna be some proper law to put an end to this nonstop harassment?10 yearsA bloke with a thick Indian accent rang me up, going on and on about how my line rental and call fees could supposedly be lowered. They had my address, DOB, and even knew which country I’d been texting, but I didn’t give away any new info. When they put me through to a woman for "verification," I asked why they hadn’t just sent all that info in writing. Eventually, they admitted they weren’t actually from BT. I told them I thought the whole thing was a scam and hung up.BT10 yearsGot a call from a lady with quite a thick foreign accent claiming to be from "Imperial Telecom", saying my phone bill was dropping to £12.99. When I double-checked who she was with, she insisted it was "Imperial Telecom" - which I googled and it does seem to be a real company. I told her I had no contract or anything with them, so it felt like just one of those annoying spam calls. Then she just ended the call.Imperial Telecom10 yearsSome bloke called saying my phone rental fee was getting cut down.

Pretty sure he wasn’t from my network, so I just told him to bugger off.10 yearsThe chap claimed he could prevent international calls from coming through. He asked me to hop onto my computer so he could guide me on re-registering for the Telephone Preference Service. I responded that I wasn't keen on shelling out any cash for such services, to which he insisted he wasn’t seeking any payment. When I mentioned that I didn't possess a computer, he disputed that and asserted that he represented my service provider. I told him I had my doubts about that and he abruptly ended the call.Telephone Preference Service10 yearsGot a call at about 9.30 this morning from a woman with a really thick accent. She claimed to be from something like Telephone Preference Management and wanted to talk about blocked calls. When I asked if she was from the Telephone Preference Service, she said no. I just ended the call there. From what I’m reading on here, this might be one of those scams trying to get your credit card info, so watch out!Telephone Preference ManagementTelephone Preference Service10 yearsGot a call from a guy with a foreign accent claiming to be from The Telephone Preference. He asked if I was dealing with annoying calls. I told him yes, and said he was actually one of the ones bothering me. Then I just hung up on him.The Telephone Preference Service10 yearsI got a call from a woman claiming to work for some kind of call blocking company. She somehow already had some of my info and wanted me to verify my debit card details, specifically the 3 digit code on the back, supposedly to add it to some security list. I didn't buy it and just told her no before cutting the call. They rang again a bit later, but I just ended the call straight away.10 yearsToday I got a call from this number, and the person claimed they were from some call blocking service.

I didn’t bother and cut the call once more.10 yearsSome bloke said he was from the Telephone Preference Service, then went on to ask if I paid my bills by direct debit. I asked why it mattered and he just ended the call. Definitely sounded like he wanted my bank info!Telephone Preference Service10 yearsI received a call from this number earlier and, instead of a greeting, there was just a strange silence followed by what seemed like a pre-recorded voice. Then, abruptly, it said ‘thank you’ before the line was disconnected. Quite baffling, really!10 yearsThey called up and were really cheeky, going on about when my credit card runs out. Proper rude, that was.10 yearsI keep gettin calls from this number, mostly in the morning, like today at 9.39am. When I answer there's no one on the line and then it just goes dead with that annoying unavailable tone. Really frustrating.10 yearsFor the past three mornings about 10 o'clock, I've been getting calls. Sometimes no one speaks when I pick up, other times a man with a foreign accent tries to talk but I just can't follow what he's saying, so I end up just hanging up.10 yearsGot a call from this number, some bloke with a foreign accent saying he was from the telephone preference service. Since I’m signed up with TPS, I answered the first question, but the accent made me suspicious straight away. Then he asked for personal info like my name and where I live - I told him I was tied up with moving house and ended the call quickly. Definitely planning to report this to TPS as well.Telephone Preference ServiceTPS10 yearsOur brilliant BT phones have managed to block this call, which is just as well, considering the same number tried to reach me yesterday as well. Quite the nuisance, isn't it?BT10 yearsReceived a dodgy call that seemed like a scam.10 yearsI received a call from someone with a male Asian accent who struggled to say my surname (Mason).
