Keep getting calls all the time, no message left on my answering machine, really annoying even though I’m on the TPS.

I've been getting calls from this number pretty much every day, occasionally even two times a day, for like three months now. I never pick up, but it just keeps on ringing.

Been getting calls over and over, no one picks up and never leaves a message when it goes to voicemail. What’s the point of TPS if this keeps happening from loads of different numbers?

This number, 0116 242 1987, has been ringing me daily except on Christmas, Boxing Day and weekends. I don’t pick up and as soon as my answerphone starts, it says they cant leave a message and the call won’t be answered. Still, they keep phoning. What more do these muppets want? I’ve checked out the reviews here and the things they say they do don’t interest me at all, so no chance I’ll be answering anytime soon.

It’s a scam call, no doubt. If you’re fed up and wanna block all these calls, check out [spam website]. It'll help sort it all out.

They said they were from some "Solutions Insurance," which sounded dodgy to me. I just ended the call straight away.

They rang me twice today. First time they said they were from my energy company, trying to sell me a cheaper deal. I told them they weren’t and asked them nicely not to call again, mentioning I’m on the TPS. Then they called again, and I told them the same thing - no more calls, please.

Keep getting calls from 01162421987 like twice a day. Every time I pick up, they just hang up straight away. It’s so annoying, especially when you’re busy with something. We’re registered with TPS, so how are these calls still coming through?

Pretty much like loads of others have said here. They call me a few times each day, literally every single day. They don’t bother leaving a voicemail, and I just don’t answer. I wonder how long they’ll keep at it before they give up?

They called me trying to get me to take out house insurance through them, really pushy about getting my card info and signing up over the phone immediately. When I requested they email me the info first, they insisted they couldn't do that unless I gave them my card details to include in the paperwork.

Yesterday I got a call from them about house insurance. They were asking me to pick a start date for the policy.
10 years
Hey, it was a energy saving firm, I can't remember the exact name, about changing gas and electric providers to save around £20 to £30 a year, which isn't much really! I asked them to send the info by post but they said they couldn't. So I told them no worries and hung up. Now they keep calling back, proper annoying!

For months now, this number has been ringing me up about twice a day. I've put a block on it on my mobile, so now they only get through to my landline. I usually just ignore it and don't pick up if I don't recognise the number.

Someone called saying they were from a gas and electric comparison company, asking me to log in and provide info about my current account along with other details. Felt a bit off to me.

Pretty sure it’s just a call centre, cause when voicemail picks up they never bother to leave anything. They ring all the time, really annoying. Would be great to find out where they’re based and give ’em a taste of their own medicine!

I never pick up calls from numbers I don't know. They usually give up after a while if you just ignore them. Still, it bugs me sometimes because there might be a real emergency and I wouldn’t know. These calls should really be stopped, it feels like harassment. It must be scary, especially for older folks when they pretend to be someone else.

I tried reporting this number to my phone company, TalkTalk, but it kept saying the number is INVALID. Then I gave it a call and there was no dial tone or anything. Pretty clear this is a FAKE number, probs to cover something dodgy!

I’ve been getting calls from this number daily, got fed up and finally picked up today. The woman said she was ringing from a phone provider called PlusNet. I listened for a bit, then she started asking for my bank details, like account number and sort code. Absolutely no way was I giving that info!

I receive at least 4 calls every day, sometimes as late as 7:30 in the evening. I never pick up though, and they never bother leaving a voicemail. Of all the calls I get, these ones are the most annoying. Can't wait for the day to come when they stop. I've blocked every single one of them.

Today they've been ringing me up every half hour without stop. I haven't picked up since I reckon it's just one of those cold call scams, but the constant buzzing is driving me mad. It's gotten to the point where I dread answering my landline because it's just nonstop. Honestly, it's making things really stressful for me.
