Reports on phone number 01179629497
8 yearsIn my opinion, calls like this and others like it mainly aim to collect personal info from the people they ring. On their own, these bits of info don’t look harmful, but mixed with stuff from public registries, it could easily lead to serious ID theft. Another possibility is they’re just building a list of live phone numbers to sell on to other marketing firms. Honestly, no good comes of it as far as I can see!8 yearsI got a call from a woman who didn’t give her name. She started by asking if I was [my name], and I told her yes. Then she asked if my postcode was [my post code], which I also confirmed. After that, she asked if I was over 51, and I was a bit confused and asked her to repeat herself. That’s when she just hung up on me. I looked up the number using 1471 and tried calling it back later, but the operator told me there’s no record of that number. I’m really curious about what this was all about.8 yearsI've been receiving calls from a number with a Bristol area code, but it's quite peculiar - they just ring and then leave me hanging when I pick up. It's becoming rather annoying, honestly!Bristol8 yearsGot a call from 01179629497 while I was out, but they didn’t leave any voicemail.8 yearsI got a call asking about my husband who’s passed away. The person just kept going on and wouldn't let me get a word in, pushing me to respond to their questions. It was really upsetting.8 yearsI've had this number call me multiple times throughout the day, but each time there's nothing but silence on the other end. When I try to return the call, it says the number isn't recognised. Quite strange, really!8 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy who wanted my postcode. When I asked him why, he suddenly asked if I was older than 51. When I pressed him about the call, he said he was calling from British Gas doing some kind of survey. Seemed a bit dodgy to me.British Gas8 yearsPicked up the house phone and some random lady with an accent asked for my hubby by his first name, then just dropped the call!

They always wanna know how old I am and stuff. When I tell them I’m sick of these calls, they act like they’ve never rung me before. But when I tell 'em yes, they have, they start cursing at me and then just hang up real quick. Proper rude!AsiaIndia8 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Tesco, sounded like they had an accent.
