This number 01162421547 has been ringing me quite a few times over the past couple of weeks. I never picked up and there’s never been a voicemail left. Turns out it’s coming from Leicester. I found out it’s actually from the J.D. Williams company. These cold calls are just so annoying now. I’ve got to the point where I won’t even answer unless the number’s familiar.

I’ve been getting calls from this number for ages, and they claim to be from Green Star Energy trying to get you to switch to a cheaper energy plan. But since it’s been ringing my phone so often, I’m not totally convinced it’s always them. I just answered without thinking this time. Classic call centre stuff.

This number keeps ringing me every single day for the past week, claiming to be from J D Williams, a company I have an account with. On our last call, they just hung up on me. The number is 01162421547. I already told J D Williams ages ago that I don’t want any sales calls, and I hadn’t had any in a long time before this. Feels like it might be scammers, but since they know who the account holder is, it’s tricky to be sure. What do you reckon?

Don’t tolerate this nonsense any longer! Head over to https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/nuisance-calls/ and lodge a complaint with the ICO. They hold the authority to impose hefty fines, reaching up to £500,000, on those pesky culprits who just refuse to stop. I've been flagging these nuisance calls for six consecutive days now, so fingers crossed they’ll be hit hard with penalties soon-let’s hope it puts an end to their shenanigans!

01162421547 rang me asking about my gas and electric supplier - they wouldn’t stop pestering even when I said no. I had to just end the call eventually. It’s so frustrating how much they seem to know about me. Looks like TalkTalk's the main culprit behind this.

Called me twice over the last couple of days, asking for my missus who apparently has an account with Classic Confidence. The caller said she’d chat with me instead and then went on and on about loads of different deals. I told her I wasn’t bothered and that I don’t really do phone calls, prefer emails. Still, she wouldn’t stop nagging so I just had to hang up. Normally I try to be nice since they’re only doing their job, but this one just didn’t get the hint.

Got one call from this 0116 number, but loads from 0845 numbers saying the same stuff about energy checks and boiler replacements. I talked to one person, but as soon as I told them I’d just swapped my boiler, they dropped the call. No clue how they make cash from this, unless their annoying sales folks somehow convince people to hand over card info, or maybe it’s a premium rate line. Either way, best to just hang up!

Received a call from this number earlier today. The chap on the line said he was representing an energy comparison firm.

Received a call on the 20th of April, 2016. The individual on the line requested to chat with a Mr. Smith. When I inquired which Mr. Smith, the young lady, whose accent suggested Asian heritage, indicated she would connect me with Mrs. Smith, who then came to the phone and was prompted for information regarding the property owner. She was informed that multiple parties were involved in this matter. Suddenly, she terminated the call. I suspect this might be a case of someone snooping around my property. When are we going to see some genuine action taken to halt these incessant calls that are nothing short of a blooming nuisance? Maybe it’s time we considered having a vote on the issue!

Just a quick heads-up for anyone considering placing an order with JD Williams or similar retailers: you might find yourself bombarded with incessant phone calls afterwards. Honestly, how would they feel if the tables were turned? It’s quite unnerving how aggressive they can be in trying to peddle their products. They certainly don’t take “no” for an answer! It’s high time we did something to rein in these relentless callers.
