On the 27th of October 2017, I got a call but the person didn’t say a word and just ended the call on me.

BT Call Protect went ahead and blocked this number on its own.

Just stayed quiet, didn’t even say a word. Ended up blocking the number. What a load of idiots!

A number popped up on my phone that I didn’t know so I decided to pick up. There was no one on the line, just silence, then the call ended. Thought it might be a scam, so I looked it up here and ended up reporting it to Ofcom 'cos it was one of those silent calls.

Rang them but they just dropped the call as soon as I picked up.

Like others have said, I got calls where the line was dead quiet at first. If you pick up and say no to their accident claim pitch, they hang up but then keep ringing with the silent calls over and over just to bug you. Proper annoying!

My phone showed it as an overseas number. The person, speaking with a thick accent, began rambling on about some sort of benefits, but I quickly told them I wasn’t interested and ended the call. After that, they kept ringing me back nonstop, like several times in a row. Because of that, I’m thinking about reporting it to the cops. Oh, and those two “safe” reviews? Total rubbish - we’re not daft, haha!

Kept getting loads of calls but my call blocker stopped them all. Definitely a scam.

Got a call from an Indian girl asking if I’m claiming benefits, saying if I was, I could get some discount. Honestly, how daft do they reckon people really are?

I've been receiving calls from this area code, but I don't recognise anyone from there. They ring a couple of times and then just cut off. Seems a bit dodgy to me-possibly some kind of scam?

Got a call from someone saying they were from a firm called Heating on Benefits, supposedly based in Newcastle. They asked if anyone in the house was receiving benefits. Since I’m on the TPS, I know this lot aren’t legit or they’d never bother me. The bloke’s English was pretty poor, and there were loads of awkward silences when I asked questions. Definitely felt off.

The person calling me had a heavy Russian accent, but everything else was pretty much identical to what’s described here. I ended the call before they could even ask about me being on benefits.

I keep getting nonstop calls from unknown numbers. It’s really annoying how these cold calls just never seem to stop.

You gotta be kidding me with those two dumb green comments - it’s so clear they’re from the scammers. The number was only live for a couple days and suddenly both have brand new boilers? Yeah right, real quick if you ask me. No way anyone’s falling for that scam rubbish. What a joke.

Echoing what the last commenter mentioned-there's just dead air when I pick up. It's not a number that rings a bell, and I certainly wasn't anticipating a call from "Nottingham." Honestly, it could be from the middle of Outer Mongolia for all I know these days. Area codes hold little significance anymore!

What a pain! This lot really should be stopped by OFCOM. I called the number back because the bloke on the phone wouldn’t even say which company he represented. When I asked them to take my number off their list and where they had got it from, he just wouldn’t answer. I don’t get why these annoying calls are allowed to keep happening and bother everyone like this.

Not sure who it is. They ring me up loads and as soon as I pick up, they just put the phone down. It’s really annoying especially since I’m working from home and don’t need to be disturbed. Plus, I’m just renting, so stuff like heating and boilers isn’t my problem at all.

A lady with a thick Asian accent zipped through her spiel about boilers and some government grant in the blink of an eye, then straight up asked if I received benefits. I flipped it on her, asking how she'd react if a stranger from some unknown firm called asking for her personal details. She quickly said sorry and ended the call... sorry? That’s a first!

After ignoring the calls a few times and hanging up, i finally gave in and listened to what they had to say. Turns out, from the number they called from, i qualified for a brand new boiler as part of a government scheme because i get child tax credits. Pretty glad i took the chance in the end!

This number kept ringing my phone a few times over the last week or so, and I finally picked up when I was in a good mood. They asked me a few questions, and since I’m on ESA and DLA, they arranged for a new boiler to be put in at no cost. I’ve got COPD and don’t get out much, so it’s really important to stay warm for me. I’m really grateful for the support they gave me. Sorry to hear that some folks are annoyed by this, but in my case, they’ve been a big help. Just thought I’d share.

You should try reaching out to the firm that rents out the phone line for the number, I believe it’s Magrathea - you can find their info with a quick online search. If you send their support team a polite email, they’ll likely get in touch with whoever’s using the number (probably the scammers) and ask them to take your details off their list. From what I’ve heard, Magrathea handles the line itself but the calls go through another provider, so really Ofcom ought to step in and look into this mess.

It’s that typical benefits con with thick Asian accents, they always use the same old script.

Got a call from some bloke with a thick Asian/Pakistani accent going on and on about benefits. I let him finish his spiel, then hit him with a line from the Koran, about how thieves should lose a hand. The moment he clocked what I said, he just disappeared.

I'm not familiar with anyone from this particular area code. I received a couple of calls-about two or three-only for them to cut off abruptly. I wouldn't recommend returning the call, as it gives me the impression they might be up to something dodgy. Best to stay clear of that number!
