The call didn’t go through since we have BT Callminder set up on our phone. Anyone who's not saved in our contacts has to identify themselves, and this caller failed to do that.

Constantly gets in touch, but as soon as I respond with a hello, there's nothing but silence on the other end.

On Saturday at half-past nine in the morning, I answered the call only to be met with utter silence.

I've been receiving calls from this number, 0116 254 7861, where they just ring and then hang up. It's crossed my mind that they might be raking in some cash for each call that gets picked up. Definitely sounds like a scam to me!

As soon as I greeted the caller, they abruptly hung up on me. Upon redialling, I was met with what seemed to be a fax machine, given the bizarre sounds coming through. The number originates from Leicester, it seems.

As soon as I greeted them, the line went dead.

I just had a rather bemusing experience with one of those prank callers. The line was all fuzzy and I was met with complete silence before a dodgy voice, clearly struggling with English, asked for someone I don’t even recognise. In a fit of whimsy, I decided to entertain him a bit and began to play a cheeky tune on my phone’s keypad. When he finally inquired if I had wrapped it up, I just gave him a high-pitched beep for good measure! To my delight, he promptly hung up. It’s quite amusing how well this tactic seems to work against such bothersome cold call miscreants!

Honestly, it's relentless! We seem to be inundated with at least three of these pesky cold callers every single day. Just do one thing for us-kindly vanish and take your nonsense elsewhere!!!

I had a call from some chap who sounded like he was based in India, insisting that my boiler was in desperate need of repair. But here's the kicker - I don't even have a boiler! When I explained this to him, he became quite offhand and rather impolite. Quite the experience, I must say!

Sounds like a typical call centre operation to me-definitely a cold call!

Is this a telemarketer, perhaps?

Received a rather peculiar call that left me scratching my head. There was a long pause, followed by a click, and then I was greeted with a voice that certainly didn’t sound local. Quite the odd occurrence, I must say!
