0115 784 9979 keeps ringing me up saying I owe £180 for some SKY maintenance cover. I told them I’m not interested and then they threatened to cut off my phone line. I’m disabled and don’t need this hassle constantly.

Today, my elderly family member got a call from 0115 784 9979 claiming to be Sky Protect. They said we owed money and if we didn't pay, they would disconnect our Sky service. The caller had an Asian accent and got really pushy when my relative refused to give card info. Honestly, PLEASE report this number because it's really upsetting my family.

0115 784 9979 kept me waiting, I could hear others on the line before me but when my turn came it just cut off as soon as I heard voices, proper unprofessional and a right pain. Checked the reviews and decided to block them. Honestly, the government needs to get a grip and sort these annoying time-wasters out.

Ignore the TPS, these nasty scammers really need a proper lesson. Don’t let them off easy - report them to ACTION FRAUD by calling 0300 123 2040 or visiting their site here: https://reporting.actionfraud.police.uk/login. If you’re gonna do just one good thing today, make sure it’s this!

They rang but I didn’t get a voicemail, so I’m guessing it’s just another one of those PPI or crash claim companies.

They rang me up saying they'd got my details from the Financial Conduct Authority and that they could cut my debts by 80%. I asked them to send me an email with their company info since they already had my details. The bloke said he'd email me after I gave some basic info. When I didn’t want to share any details, he swore at me three times and then just hung up.

I picked up the phone and there was a bloke laughing. Then he called me by my first and last name and said he was doing a survey. He mentioned he got info from the financial conduct authority and accused me of owing money, which is rubbish. He then asked if I had life insurance. I said no to everything. He told me I was wasting his time. I told him no, he's the one wasting his time calling me with lies. Then he just hung up.

I've repeatedly requested these individuals cease their incessant calls, and I must say, they are utterly unpleasant. They resort to vile language the moment you suggest they ought to face legal consequences. I wouldn't put my trust in them if I were you...

Got a call from some call centre in India, bloke said it was about a PPI claim I supposedly made. He told me the cash is on its way but wanted me to take out life insurance with it, said it was to make sure I use the money right. Seemed a bit dodgy to me.

Someone called me trying to find a bloke with a completely different name to mine.

He called me using a fake name I'd told an earlier telemarketer and claimed he wanted to check my life insurance. I fed him made-up info about a policy that doesn’t exist. Then he tried to sell me a new one and asked for my bank details. I told him I’d only give those if he shared his company’s info. He said they were located on the A62, so I asked for the postcode and he gave me one from London instead. When I asked for his FCA registration number, he gave me a bogus one. Clearly just another scammer.
