At first he was really hesitant to give me his number, but when I mentioned he might be trying to scam me, he just cut the call. Pretty stubborn guy.

Got a couple of calls from someone claiming to be Microsoft or whatever, but their attitude turned nasty when I asked if it was legit. They mentioned the same RG6 1WT address I’ve seen in other reports. Pretty sure it’s a total scam!

Today I got a call from a woman with an Asian accent who said her name was Anna Smith and claimed to be working for Microsoft. She told me my computer was hacked by some sort of illegal gambling site. I asked her for her info, and she gave me this number along with an address in Thames Valley Park, Reading, RG6 1WT. Definitely not planning to call her back.

Persistent phone calls at all hours, even in the wee small hours, and yet no one ever speaks when I answer! It’s truly troublesome, particularly for an elderly lady of 80 who resides by herself. What measures can we take to put an end to this?

I keep receiving calls from this number, sometimes even multiple times in a single day. It's rather annoying because when I pick up, they hang up straight away.

I've been inundated with calls from this number, ringing me every 20 minutes throughout the day. Oddly enough, when I pick up, they just hang up! I’ve had enough of this nonsense, so I’m switching the ringer off for the remainder of the day.

Absolute scammers, stay clear of these lot!

Just as I was about to drift off to sleep last night, my phone rang close to midnight. I couldn’t pick up, so I tried calling back thinking it might be an emergency with my family but the line was dead. Honestly, I really hope someone puts an end to this annoying caller.

Got a call from this number around 2 in the morning, thought it might be something urgent from my family. But no one said a word and then the call just ended. Really hope they get rid of this number quick.

Arrived back from the hospital after seeing my husband in intensive care, only to discover three missed calls from the same number in just a thirty-minute interval. They didn’t bother to leave a message, so I've decided it’s time to block this number. Cheers to everyone for confirming that it’s yet another nuisance caller. - number: 01183282016

I got called three times from this number today. The first two times, no one said anything. The third time, my husband picked up and told the caller, who sounded Asian, to stop calling. Then the caller just hung up on him.

I received three calls from this number within just thirty minutes, which was quite unnerving. Initially, I answered but promptly hung up after only a moment. Oddly, they then withheld their number and proceeded to ring me another three times. I've had enough now and decided to block them entirely.

They ring nearly every day and are really irritating. The line goes dead for about a minute and then someone starts a survey. I always hang up straightaway, but they just keep on calling.

Got a call from someone claiming they’re with Way of Life? Seemed like a marketing lot trying to find out how we get our TV signal. They were a bit cheeky, not the nicest way to chat.

They keep ringing me nonstop. Whenever I try to ask who they are or request they stop, they just hang up straight away without saying anything and then call me back again later. Really annoying!

I got two calls from this number today, first one was at 10:38 and then again around 3:37 in the afternoon. The phone went to voicemail but there wasn’t any message left. Seems like it wasn’t anything urgent, likely just another scam call since I seem to get loads of those.
12 years
Today, this number rang me 4 times at 15:03, 15:51, 16:25, and 17:24. I wasn't home during the calls so my voicemail picked up, but there was no message, just silence. If someone I don’t know calls and doesn’t leave any voicemail, it always makes me wary. I doubt it’s anything urgent and just see it as a pest call. I’ve decided to block the number now.

I told the person that my dad died last week, and he simply wanted to know if I’d answer a few questions. When I asked for a phone number to ring him back or even an address so I could talk to him properly, he just ended the call.

This number called me earlier. I wasn't really sure which company it was, but they wanted me to do a quick 2-minute survey. I told them I was busy working and couldn’t take part. They just cut the call off straight away without saying anything else, which came across as quite rude to me.

I told the bloke I wasn’t really up for sharing personal stuff like if I own or rent the place I’m living in, and he just told me to “buzz off”. Total cheek!

They keep ringing my number incessantly. I've tried being courteous, even had a few choice words with them, but to no avail. I’m on the Telephone Preference Service list, so I really can't fathom why they're still contacting me.

Got a call from this number this morning, but I couldn’t quite catch where they were from because of the accent. I asked them to say the company name again, but they just ended the call. Strange!

I have no clue who was calling. They rang three times within four hours. The first call had some random words that might have made sense if you put them in order, but when I asked them to say it again, they hung up straight away. The other two times I answered, they just went quiet and then disconnected. The phone belongs to an elderly person who’s quite poorly - just what they don’t need, annoying calls like this.

I was half awake when my phone rang late at night, usually I dont answer cuz I have caller ID. This time I did though, and it was an Asian guy on the line.
12 years
So this guy called me, said his name was Kenneth and claimed he wasn’t trying to sell anything. Right off the bat, he starts asking me how I watch TV at home and then if I have a job. I told him to butt out and when things got a bit tense, I politely told him to jog on. Then, a couple of hours later, the same number rings me again but when I answered, they just hung up. Strange behaviour, honestly.

I answered the call and for a bit there was nothing but silence. After a while, a man with an Asian accent called me by my first name. I said, "Who's this?" There was silence again, so I repeated, "Can you tell me who’s calling?" Before I could get a proper answer, the line went dead.

Received a silent call at 15:36 on 13th February 2015. It’s frustrating because I can’t lodge a complaint with the Telephone Preference Service; they want the name of the company, which is absolutely infuriating. Quite the bother, if you ask me!
