Callers typically claim to conduct surveys or seek opinions but quickly hang up or become aggressive if challenged. Many describe rude or threatening behaviour, with calls frequently disconnected when answering machines pick up.

Blocking the number is a common response, though the calls appear to be a widespread and ongoing source of harassment.

9 yearsI have no idea who they are or any ties to Leicester. I picked up, said nothing, got no reaction, then ended the call and blocked the number straight away.Leicester10 yearsReceived a nasty call from some call centre trying to scam me. If you want these annoying calls to stop for good, just head over to [spam website]. It worked for me 100%!10 yearsSome bloke from this number called my husband, threatening to ### him and saying he knew our address! We’ve handed it all over to the coppers now.10 yearsI didn’t get a voicemail, so I looked up the number and, just as I thought, it was another spam call.10 yearsGot a call from this number earlier tonight. Someone wanted to talk to someone in my family. I asked who was calling and what company they were from because I suspected it was a call centre. When I put the phone down for a moment and picked it back up, the line was silent. Then a couple of minutes later, the phone rang again and this time the person was shouting at me asking why I’d hung up! I told them I hadn’t. They kept going on and on, so I calmly told them to stop being so rude and if they didn’t, I’d report the call. After that I definitely hung up. Seriously, what cheek!10 yearsGot a call from someone wanting to know about my TV setup. I told the bloke I was happy and didn’t want any more calls. Asked him to take my number off his list but he said it wasn’t possible. When I pressed him for a reason, he just ended the call. The guy called Amman and had a strong Indian accent, which made it tricky to follow. This is the third or fourth similar call I've had today, all from different numbers. Any idea how to block these annoying calls?Amman10 yearsGot a call from 01162414497 around 6:10 PM, but it was completely silent. I said "hello" a few times and then the line just went dead.10 yearsGot a call from this number today. I told the person on the other end that I’m on the TPS register, but he claimed it was a lawful call and insisted he wasn’t selling anything. I told him all these random calls ought to be banned. Asked him to take me off their list and never ring me again. He was still shouting even after I ended the call!Telephone Preference Service10 yearsI got two calls back to back, one from abroad and then one from a 0116 number. Feels like the same outfit behind them both, can’t be just chance. They keep ringing week after week even though I’ve told them the person they're after isn’t about - they’re calling for me using a name I haven’t gone by in over two decades!10 yearsGot a call from some bloke I didn’t recognise, but weirdly he knew my full address and postcode. He was asking all those typical market research questions, but I barely caught what he was saying because he spoke super quick and had a thick Asian accent. Made it hard to follow at all!10 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Asian accent, she claimed she wasn’t trying to sell anything, just wanted my feedback. She said the name sounded like Infinite Pavings, but I think it was actually something like Infinite Savings. When I asked what company she was representing, she suddenly cut the call. Pretty suspicious if you ask me.10 yearsThis bloke called me, never said his name, just asked if he ‘d reached the person with my name. I asked who it was, but all he did was mumble about some survey thing. I told him I’m not into surveys and he just cut the call out of nowhere!10 yearsThis morning I got a call from a woman who sounded Asian. She claimed she wasn’t trying to sell me anything, just wanted to hear my views. When I asked where she’d found my phone number, she told me it was available publicly. I pointed out that it wasn’t and asked again where she got it. She suddenly went silent, so I ended the call.10 yearsToday at about 9:35 in the mornin', this number popped up on my phone. When I picked up, they just hung up straight away. They've called me a few times now, really annoying it is. Seriously, what do they even want from all these calls? Wish they'd just knock it off.10 yearsI tried calling back a few times and every time the line just cut out on me.10 yearsGot a call from an unknown number but the phone suddenly died. Tried calling back but it just says the number isn’t recognised. Strange!10 yearsToday at around 14:12 I got a call from this bloke claiming his name was Aiden and he was from Infinite Saving. He said he found my number in some public database. I told him that was rubbish and he had the wrong info, then the cheeky sod just went and hung up on me.Aiden10 yearsI just said hello and he ended the call straight away.10 yearsCalled me a couple of times then just hung up, honestly if anyone’s wasting time it’s definitely not me.10 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent claiming he was from infinite savings. I told him I wasn’t interested in any offers and ended the call. Even as I ended it, he kept trying to grab my attention, which was pretty annoying.Savings10 yearsGot a call outta the blue, and as soon as my answering machine kicked in, the caller just dropped the line without leaving anything. Proper annoying!10 yearsI picked up the phone, but no one said a word at first. After a bit, someone said 'John,' so I asked why they weren’t replying when I said hello. Next thing, they just hang up on me! Absolutely pointless calls.John10 yearsThis number, 01162414497, keeps calling and it's really annoying.10 yearsGot a call from a number I didn't recognise, but the call suddenly dropped. Tried ringing back but the number came up as unknown. No idea who it could of been.10 yearsGot a call earlier from some bloke who said he wasn’t trying to sell anything. When I tried to hang up by turning my phone off, it just wouldn’t end the call. Never had that happen before, really strange.10 yearsThis number’s been blocked by me, just like all the other ones from sports calls.10 yearsGot a call on my landline at about 2:34pm on 21st January 2017. The bloke sounded Asian and somehow knew my name. He said he wasn’t trying to sell me anything. I cut him off quickly saying I was just about to leave, which was true. He kept going but I’d already hung up.10 yearsi got a call from someone with an indian accent who knew my name, but then asked if they could call me by my first name. i found it a bit creepy so i ended up hanging up and blocking the number. a little while after, i saw they tried calling again but now i can’t seem to get through at all.10 yearsThey kept asking for my age, name, where I live and a bunch more personal stuff like who my internet provider is and the brand of my washing machine - all the typical questions these calls throw at you. I just gave them made up info and kept pretending to be interested, stretched the call out to about 10 minutes. Proper frustrating since they’ve called me three times already today with the same old script.10 yearsGot a call around 5:30 in the evening, ended up blocking that number.10 yearsThe number 01162414497 seems to be a landline in Leicester, probably BT. It keeps calling and then going silent, which is really annoying. Wish their manager checked websites like this so they’d realise their employee isn’t actually doing anything worthwhile. They’ve just ended the call, but I didn’t hang up. Since I don’t really mind the landline being off because of idiots like this, I’m just gonna leave it disconnected for now to hopefully stop them bothering anyone else. I’ll put the phone back on before bedtime. This happened on Friday 20th January at about 3pm.Leicester10 yearsWe got a call around lunchtime. My husband answered with a “hello,” the bloke on the other end said “hello” back, then the call just dropped.10 years01162414497 - Looks like it's a BT landline from Leicester. This number keeps ringing and then going dead - no idea why they can’t speak. It’s a shame whoever’s in charge doesn’t check these sites, they’d realise they’re wasting money on useless employees. Today, they rang me and just dropped the call without saying anything. I haven't ended the call myself yet, so technically they can't ring anyone else while I'm holding. Not fussed about keeping my landline free from these muppets, I’m just gonna leave the receiver down until bedtime. ;) Friday 20th Jan 2017, 3pm.Leicester10 years01162414497 - it looks like a BT landline from Leicester. They keep ringing but never say a thing, which is pretty annoying. I wish their manager checked out websites like this, so they might realise they’re wasting money paying these daft callers. Just got a call from them and they hung up straight away without a word. I didn’t hang up though, so as far as I know, they won’t be able to call anyone else till I do! Honestly, I don’t mind leaving my landline off the hook because of these idiots. I’ll keep it that way until bedtime tonight :) Friday 20th Jan 2017, about 3pm.Leicester10 yearsGot a call around 6 tonight, just like others mentioned, but as soon as I picked up, it just hung up. Guess they’ll keep ringing now that they’ve seen someone’s actually there. Would be great if these annoying calls could just be banned for good!10 yearsGot a call from 01162414497 again, just silence on the other end. Wish their manager actually checked sites like this, maybe then they'd realise they're wasting money paying someone who doesn't even talk!10 yearsThey rang me, but as soon as I got the answerphone, they just dropped the call.10 yearsI get calls from this number daily, but as soon as my answering machine kicks in, they just hang up.10 yearsFor the last two nights, at around half past five, my phone’s been ringing with no one speaking when I pick up. Last night was silent, and tonight, as soon as I answered and the answer machine clicked on, the call was ended! Really odd!10 yearsI tried calling the number but it just kept saying it wasn't valid or something.Submit Your Own Report (0116 241 4497)
