I continuously get calls from this number, and I suspect it’s linked to our vehicle insurance renewal. It's quite puzzling, really, as they never seem to stay on the line long enough for anyone to pick up! Just a couple of rings and then they abruptly disconnect. Quite frustrating, to say the least!

Received a call from this same number, but they hung up before I had a chance to speak. It might be something to do with our car insurance, since it’s renewal time. Nevertheless, I have no intention of returning the call.

The phone rang for about three or four minutes, then just cut off before we had a chance to pick it up. Might be an insurance company we recently asked for a quote from?

Received a call yesterday that lasted only a few seconds before it suddenly cut off! Quite peculiar, to say the least!

Received a call just now and they hung up after a brief conversation. We’re currently in the process of sorting out our car insurance renewal. Quite frustrating, to say the least!

Strange, isn't it? Quite like all the others, really. For the last fortnight, I've been bombarded with calls from this number, all inquiring about car and bike insurance. Last night and again earlier today, my phone wouldn't stop ringing from them. The moment I pick up, they just hang up. It’s utterly baffling!

Absolutely, my experience was quite similar. I gave Confused.com a go, but ultimately decided against any of their quotes-sticking with our existing provider seemed the wiser choice. I received a few calls, three or four at most, but they never left a message before hanging up. Quite odd, really!

Indeed, we’ve just received the same number. I'm not quite certain what it signifies!

Indeed, that would be Hastings Direct. If you're looking to lodge a complaint, the calls are originating from Hastings Direct. Their address is Senlac House, Sunningdale Road, Leicester, LE3 1DL.

I received a call from these folks, and it went eerily silent for a moment before they resumed ringing. We decided to hang up. I’d been browsing for insurance quotes earlier, so it’s safe to presume that they were indeed up to something dodgy.

Absolutely the same scenario here. We just received a call, and when I attempted to respond, they abruptly disconnected. We've recently updated our car insurance and only got a quote from Hastings Direct, but opted not to go with them. Next time this occurs, I’ll definitely take note of the address Alun shared or simply block the number altogether.

We had a rather puzzling experience with confused.com yesterday, and lo and behold, this number buzzed us this morning. We're fairly convinced it's linked to one of the insurance firms out there.

I keep getting calls from this number linked to an insurance company. We've tried calling them back and asking them to remove our number from their listings, but sadly, it hasn’t worked out at all.

My phone just doesn’t seem to send messages at all, no matter what I try. It's infuriating!

Like many others, I've been on the hunt for car insurance, and it wasn't long before I received a call from this number.

We’ve encountered this as well. The most effective strategy to dodge such nuisances (and pesky spam emails) is to keep a backup SIM card and a secondary email address handy. Just whip them out whenever you need to provide your details while browsing online. This trick does wonders in keeping the rubbish from flooding your actual phone and email account-definitely worth the effort!

The same number has tried to reach us on six separate occasions. They seemed to be preoccupied with searching for car insurance online for much of the day, so what I've noted above certainly seems plausible.

I’m experiencing the same situation! My phone starts ringing, I answer, and then there’s just silence after a strange sound. We had a quote from Hastings Direct, so I can only assume it’s related somehow!

I recently received a call, but I chose not to answer as we're currently overseas. You see, some of our work involves probing into dubious ring activities (just to clarify, not the shady kind of ring-making!). Consequently, we frequently look up unusual numbers from persistent callers. My hunch is that this might be linked to our car insurance situation; I've just terminated our policy with one provider and signed up with another. So, I reckon, as many of you have suggested, this could very well relate to that matter.

I received a call from this number and thought I would give it a ring back. Turns out it’s linked to Peoples Choice for Hastings Direct.

Just the other day, we decided to check out a site called Confused.com to hunt for quotes on car insurance. During our search, we stumbled across two firms: Hastings Essential and Liverpool Victoria. It was a bit of a nuisance, really, as we received a couple of unwelcome emails from Hastings almost immediately after. Then, later on, we got a chilly call this afternoon, but we opted not to answer. Quite the kerfuffle, to say the least!
