I was completely caught off guard by the call from this unknown number, as I hadn't a clue who it was or what they wanted. Upon answering, the caller referred to me by what I presumed to be my maiden name, which threw me for a loop. I corrected her, yet instead of clarifying her reason for calling, she seemed quite flustered and persisted in imploring me to simply pay attention, promising it would be brief. Despite her attempts, I found it challenging to grasp what she was trying to convey due to her not-so-great command of English. In the end, I asked her to remove my number from her list and not to ring me again. To my astonishment, she snapped back with, “Just shut up and listen to me, madam!” At that point, I had enough and told her off for her rudeness before I hung up!

I seem to receive a deluge of calls from these pesky nuisances far more than I do from my actual friends and family! I've done everything imaginable to curb the bombardment, yet they keep coming back like a bad penny. Now, I've resorted to ignoring the phone altogether - the folks I genuinely want to hear from tend to reach me on my mobile anyway. It's rather unfortunate that the government isn’t taking steps to put an end to this madness.

A lady from an Asian background rang me to inquire whether I owned the property. I let her know I’d fetch someone for her, but she abruptly ended the call. What a pity, I was just about to let her stew!

Over the past couple of days, this number has been ringing me non-stop. There's been both men and women calling, and when I told them to take me off their list, they just kept going on and throwing more questions at me. Proper rude, especially when I tried to dodge their questions. I've now filed a complaint with the ICO about it and I'd honestly recommend anyone else getting these calls do the same through Ofcom. They need to be put to a stop.

I keep receiving calls from this lot two or three times daily. Honestly, their command of the English language is amusingly poor-it's almost comical! The only word that I could discern from their ramblings was ‘survey’. I’m seriously contemplating just putting the phone down and letting them hold the line for as long as I fancy. I reckon when they finally catch on that they’re tied up and can’t pester anyone else, they might think twice before bothering me again.

We keep getting calls from this number, always looking for someone who’s never set foot in our home. The bloke on the other end is an Asian guy who’s proper rude, swearing non-stop at my wife. The last time he called, she passed me the phone and I told him exactly what I thought. Honestly, I hope the poor sod has a rough time getting here, and maybe the same for the rest of his family if they try to come over too. What a bunch of muppets.

I've been getting calls from this number about four or five times daily over the past week. It's incredibly frustrating! With my back issues, getting up to answer the phone is quite the challenge. I really wish they'd just knock it off already!

They keep ringing me about four times daily, beginning late in the morning around 11 and going on till about 9 at night! Tried to dial them back but the number turns out to be non-existent!

Over the past couple of days, I've had the same number ring me up five times. The first time, a woman answered and was really quite unfriendly when I requested they take me off their calling list. Another time, a bloke just cut me off midsentence when I asked if he could hold on and hear me out. It's a shame because this number isn't listed with TPS, so I can't really block them through that service.

Keeps calling me loads each day, some kind of survey it sounds like, with an Indian accent. Won’t hang up when I say no, really annoying!

Someone rang asking for a person whose name was similar to mine. When I told them they got the wrong number, they just ended the call straight away.

Perusing various discussion boards, it seems the individual on the other end claims to be conducting some sort of questionnaire. Others have recounted tales of being met with foul language when they've confronted the caller. I've managed to trace the calls back to Egypt. I've equipped myself with a call blocker known as TruCall, which allows me to log the number in a "Zap" list. You can either personalise a message for these zapped calls or opt for a standard response before the line cuts off. It’s quite splendid, really, as you can express your true feelings about the nuisance without any risk of retaliation from them. Utterly satisfying! Alternatively, TruCall now has the option of giving the caller a tone that indicates the number is "unobtainable," akin to a disconnected line-this often encourages those pesky scammers to remove you from their list. On another note, why not consider investing in a basic but loud whistle? The next time you see that number pop up on your caller ID, simply answer and give it a good blow. That should certainly catch them off guard!

I've received calls from them thrice today, and shockingly, it’s a Bank Holiday! They're insisting they're conducting some sort of survey. Quite frankly, it’s just a right nuisance - what a waste of time!

I've had five calls from them today! When I finally answered, I told that chap from India to just p*** off.

They just cut the call without saying a word. Feels like they’re figuring out when I’m around, don’t it?

I've been getting calls from them about five times over the past couple of days. Honestly, it's driving me mad! They really deserve a good telling off!

Been getting calls all day from people looking for someone who moved out like 18 years ago. Honestly, I'm getting proper annoyed with them ringing nonstop asking for the same person!

I’m utterly fed up with this phone number ringing me no less than four times a day. It's becoming unbearable!

My elderly dad keeps getting calls from someone sounding Indian, asking for my mum who sadly passed away two years back. He’s had loads of these calls and it’s honestly gone way beyond just being annoying now.

One of their little underlings is exceptionally tenacious - they keep ringing back non-stop if the call ends abruptly. To make matters worse, their thick Indian accents can render conversations quite challenging. I'm starting to reckon we ought to adopt a rather brusque approach towards these callers. If we make their experience rather disagreeable, perhaps they'll consider seeking more respectable ways to earn their keep.

This number persistently rings my elderly mum.

I'm absolutely sick to death of this phone incessantly going off - it’s driving me round the bend!

I simply let out a tremendous whistle down the line.

Today, on the 15th of May, 2014, I received a trifecta of calls within a mere two-hour span. I'm not inclined to engage with any inquiries.

What a persistent bother! I received two calls in just ten minutes. The English was so fractured that I struggled to grasp the purpose of the conversation.

I've been pestered by this number ringing me a staggering seven times today. On the final call, I informed them that the person they were seeking is no longer at this number.

Just had another call tonight at 8.10pm, right when my little lad was nodding off. Naturally, it disturbed his sleep. I’m seriously fuming! That makes twice in a couple of weeks they’ve disturbed him. (I usually let the answerphone deal with calls I’m not interested in.) Is there any way to stop these nuisance callers? I’m on the Do Not Call list and used to be on the directory as well.

An absolute nuisance, best not to share any personal information!

If only I knew who they were after - the moment I say I’m not the old resident, they just cut the call! It’s getting pretty irritating now. Might be worth reaching out to the Information Commissioner's Office at www.ico.org.uk about this.

I received a call from someone who inquired if I was the homeowner. I replied in the negative, and in response, he demanded to know my identity. Curious, I flipped the question back to him, asking him to share his own details. To my surprise, he resorted to foul language and abruptly hung up. Honestly, who are these individuals?

These incessant calls are becoming unbearable! I've already asked them to cease and desist, but it hasn't made a jot of difference. It’s so frustrating!

Been getting calls from a lady with an Indian accent who keeps insisting it’ll just take a minute to answer some questions, even though I’ve told her nicely I’m tied up at the moment. She’s called me a few times over the past couple of days now. I have no clue where they picked up my number because I’m definitely signed up to avoid these annoying calls.

I used to receive calls from this number far too frequently, sometimes even half a dozen times in a single day! Thankfully, I’ve got a BT Guardian phone which wasn’t too pricey, but honestly, it feels priceless. I went ahead and added this number to my barred list, and ever since, it's been blissfully quiet. No more hassle!

I keep receiving numerous calls throughout the day, yet I can't seem to uncover the identity of the caller. I'd appreciate it if someone could look into this for me.

This number keeps pestering my home with calls up to four times daily! I've asked them numerous times to cease their calls, but they just ignore my requests! It's utterly infuriating!

I'm receiving numerous calls from this number each day. It's the same individual every time, yet they refuse to admit it. I've reported their persistent harassment and mentioned getting the police involved, but it seems to make no difference.

Received half a dozen phone calls over the past day and a half. Each time, they feign ignorance about previous attempts. It's best not to divulge any details to them.

This number incessantly calls me around four or five times daily, yet whenever I pick up, there’s silence on the other end.

It's getting quite tiresome as I seem to receive calls from this number at least three times a day! I've started screening my calls to see if it's the same pesky caller, and now I just refuse to answer the phone altogether. Any tips on how to put a stop to this annoyance?

They keep ringing me several times daily, asking for someone who doesn’t live at my address. I’ve told them to stop, shouted at them even, and said I’d report them, but these calls just won’t quit. Anyone got any advice on what to do?

I keep receiving calls from this number, and it’s becoming quite bothersome. I would really appreciate it if someone could assist in putting an end to these incessant interruptions. Thank you!

The caller seemed to have an Indian accent and has been ringing me two or three times every day for nearly four days straight. They really don't get that I'm not interested at all.

I picked up a phone for just £35 from BT. It's specifically designed to block unwanted calls.

A rather distressing incident occurred yesterday when this number contacted my elderly mother, who is 86, at precisely 16:08. In her eagerness to pick up the phone, she inadvertently stumbled and took a tumble. She managed to inform the caller, "I've just had a fall while trying to answer," to which they promptly hung up. Thankfully, she wasn't seriously injured, but the experience left her quite rattled. Later in the evening, at 19:01, that same number rang again. I picked up and firmly requested they cease contacting her, elaborating on the prior situation, only for them to abruptly end the call on me! My mother is registered with the Telephone Preference Service, yet these calls keep coming. I'm at a loss as to how to shield her from such intrusive phoning.

I've received calls from this number three times today, and I've expressly asked them to remove me from their list, yet they continue to disregard my request. It's incredibly frustrating and feels like harassment! How is it even permissible for them to behave this way, and why is there no option to report this?

I've been receiving calls from this number over the last several days. When I finally picked up, the last conversation was quite bizarre; they didn’t seem to acknowledge anything I mentioned and just continued rattling off their pre-prepared lines. If you happen to get a call from them, I'd strongly advise you to just let it ring!

Over the past few days, this particular number has been buzzing us around 6 in the evening, and it’s becoming rather bothersome. We’re ex-directory, so it’s a bit of a mystery how they’ve managed to get hold of our digits. We’ve got an answer machine in place, and without fail, they hang up as soon as it picks up. If you happen to see this number on your caller ID, it’s best to ignore it completely or simply lift the receiver and hang up right away. Additionally, you might want to report this number to your phone provider; they could potentially block it from reaching you.

This number buzzes me a couple of times daily, sometimes twice or thrice. The first time I picked up, figured it was someone from London with a 0208 code. Now I just ignore it - total annoyance.

Keeps ringing nonstop!

After digging a bit into this number, it appears to be linked to Egypt. The international dialing code 0020 confirms that. It's been flagged as a scam, and it seems they’ve been harassing countless individuals. Please make sure to inform your older family members! They’d do well to either disregard the call altogether or pick up and end the conversation immediately. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been plagued by their calls over the past few years - it must be in the hundreds!

I received four calls today beginning at 7:50. Despite my multiple requests to have my number taken off their list, it seems to have fallen on deaf ears. Kindly ensure that we are removed from their calling list!

For the past week, this particular number has been ringing me daily without fail. Fortunately, I've got an answerphone set up to sift through calls, allowing only those I want to engage with. My list of missed calls conveniently keeps track of this persistent number.

They haven't called me yet, but they seem to be pestering a mate of mine two or three times daily. I’m eagerly anticipating when they finally get around to me, as I've got a shrill whistle ready to blast that should hopefully leave them momentarily deafened!

My mother has been receiving relentless calls throughout the day, and despite her consistently hanging up, they just won’t take the hint. It’s been quite distressing for her, and it feels like there's no end in sight to this persistent nuisance.

I’ve had so many calls in just a few days, it’s crazy. Today alone they’ve rung me up four times already, really starting to annoy me. The voices all sound like they're from India or some place similar.

I’m wondering how my phone number ended up in the X directory. Any idea how that happened?

This firm has taken it upon themselves to incessantly call my employer, who lives with tetraplegia and finds it incredibly challenging to get out of bed. It’s absolutely appalling how they repeatedly ring him, squandering his precious time and disrupting his phone service.

Their behaviour is utterly disgraceful; they’re rude and completely ignore requests to cease calling. It’s nothing short of an invasion of privacy, and in any other context, this would likely be deemed criminal behaviour.

One cannot simply pester individuals in this manner - if it happened in a public space, they would undoubtedly face legal consequences. I genuinely implore someone to intervene and put a stop to these nuisance calls.

If only I had an address for them, I would gladly confront them personally and voice my strong disapproval of their actions.

It’s only just past eight in the morning, and I’ve already been disturbed four times! First it was the blaring alarm that jolted me awake.

Had three calls from this number today, but I just ignored them all.

The moment I picked up, they just hung up on me.

My elderly mother receives calls from this number at least once a day.

They've been ringing my mum loads over the past few days, really bothering her. She's quite old, so it's pretty upsetting.

I’ve got this number saved as ex-directory and have marked it on call preference, so I just let it ring out to voicemail. But every time they call, they just hang up right away. It’s super irritating.

I've been getting incessant calls from this number lately. A woman's voice comes through, with a bit of an accent I can’t quite place. She always addresses me by my name. I simply cut the call short. Just adding to the pile of annoying stats, I suppose!

I’m absolutely knackered by these incessant phone calls!

This week I got called three times by a bloke who was talking about a family member passing away or something like that. His accent was so thick I had no clue what he was trying to say, so I just ended up hanging up.

Had a chat with someone who had a bit of an accent, and they mentioned my name directly. I couldn’t be bothered to entertain the conversation, so I just hung up straightaway. A quick search of the number confirmed my suspicions! I’d appreciate it if you could include this in your data, thanks!

This number just won't leave me alone! It calls my landline every single day, at least two or three times. Quite the nuisance, really!

I've been inundated with numerous phone calls lately, but I refuse to converse with the individuals on the other end. Does anyone have any tips on how to put an end to these pesky calls?

I'm being plagued by calls from someone wanting to chat with a person who's been gone for five years now. They go on to ask for my name, which is utterly infuriating. It's enough to drive anyone round the bend!

I called, hoping to chat with my mum but she passed away 4 years back. They said "you’ll get through," but honestly, I don’t think so!!

I'm absolutely fed up with this number ringing me incessantly. Is there any way to put an end to it?

I keep receiving calls from someone with an Asian accent, persistently inquiring about a 'Mrs'-which is rather odd, as that title doesn’t apply to me. Any suggestions on how I might be able to block these calls effectively?

I keep getting calls every hour on the dot. Most of the time, they don’t even bother to say anything. One time, an Asian chap told me to shove off before abruptly hanging up. Quite the nuisance, I must say!

I've been receiving persistent calls from this number multiple times a day for the past week. Today alone, I was disturbed by five calls between 9 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. I've repeatedly requested that they remove my number from their list. A non-English speaker even had the audacity to threaten me, saying if I didn’t respond to his queries, he would ring me three times an hour, every hour! Is this not a form of harassment?

I informed the caller that I’m on the Telephone Preference Service register, to which he reacted with disbelief, exclaiming “Oh my goodness!” before promptly apologising and disconnecting the call.

I've received over 2000 calls in just 10 days, and it’s becoming unbearable. They start ringing me at the crack of dawn around 6 am and don’t let up until 11 pm! The callers are incredibly rude and full of themselves, and it’s painfully obvious they’re not local. I’ve requested to be taken off their list, yet the incessant calls keep flooding in! It's utterly maddening at this point.

Received a call bright and early at 08:25 today regarding a survey. I was under the impression that any marketing or canvassing calls weren't permitted until after 09:00. Quite curious!

I've received multiple calls today, the latest one coming in at 4:38 PM. However, each time, there’s just been complete silence on the other end.

I've had a right nuisance today with someone who clearly doesn't speak English as their first language. They just keep pushing and pushing, not willing to accept a firm 'no'. Who knows, they might recruit some good ol' Anglo-Saxon to help out next time around!

This lot are nothing but a dodgy survey firm! They pester you with inquiries about your daily life, gadgets you own, interests, and all that jazz. What they do next is sell your information to other businesses. Those companies sift through the info to find whatever's useful to them, and then boom! They start cold-calling you, attempting to flog you their products. It's a right nuisance!

I've been bombarded with calls today from 8:45 in the morning until half-past twelve-nine times in total! Does anyone know how to put an end to this incessant ringing?

A brief pause filled with an awkward chuckle.
After that, just utter quiet.

I've received a barrage of calls between 1 and 4 in the morning throughout the week. It's utterly disturbing to be woken up at such an ungodly hour, as one tends to jump to the conclusion that something dreadful must have happened.

It’s about time these incessant phone calls were put to an end, isn’t it? What on earth is going on with BT? The sheer volume of nuisance calls seems to be on the rise, and it’s hardly surprising that many folks are ditching their BT landlines altogether.

This number has called me more than ten times in the past couple of days. At times, they engage in conversation, but other moments, all I hear is “bye bye.” Quite baffling, I must say!

Not sure who it was, but my answerphone picked up, some bloke mumbled a bit and then just hung up.

Got called seven times this evening, it's driving me absolutely bonkers! Someone really needs to rein in these numpties who can't seem to understand 'no' means 'no'.

Has the farewell just happened?

It's quite entertaining to hear the reactions of those who pick up! Honestly, getting a call more than twice daily is utterly ridiculous. Just how do they manage to obtain our information? One particularly irritating call prompted me to hit 9 to be taken off their list. I’m seriously considering giving it a go!

Absolutely experiencing the same annoyance-almost four or five times a day, they really get quite irate if you mention that you're not willing to chat with them. It’s beyond frustrating!

I receive calls from this number approximately four to five times daily. What steps can I take to put an end to this annoyance?

I’m having a right bother with this number that's been calling my work line. They keep insisting they're looking for a Mrs Webb. When I informed them they’d reached a business phone, they refused to believe me! I eventually raised my voice at him, and he had the cheek to apologise afterwards. What do you know? They called back just two hours later. Absolute numpties!
