I received a rather dubious call at my office from someone claiming to be from Barclays, insistent that I was entitled to a refund. Naturally, I asked to speak to a manager, but it was quite the spectacle as they hardly uttered a peep once I mentioned removing their number from their records. I also pointed out that I was actually associated with a proper high street bank. Just to be safe, I've decided to pass along the number, 01189005596, to the fraud team. Tread carefully, everyone!

I’ve no clue who this number might be. It’s the first occasion I’ve picked up a call from it, but if it’s like most of the annoying calls I get, I’m sure it’ll ring back repeatedly. Oddly enough, this is the first time I’ve had a call from them on a Sunday - usually they leave you alone at weekends. I guess they’re trying to sell something, maybe insurance, phone deals, or one of those dreadful PPI claim scams.

I wasn't familiar with this number, so I chose not to pick up. They rang me at exactly 4:08 PM on Thursday, the 14th of August, 2014. Quite the intriguing coincidence, isn't it? My phone signal is so dreadful that had I answered, we'd likely have ended up with a dropped call. I'm really not keen on these unsolicited calls-they give me the creeps and are completely unwelcome.

During my trip in Kyoto, I had the misfortune of receiving a call from this number at a rather ungodly hour-12:45 am, to be precise! *sigh* I declined the call without giving it much thought, as I noticed it wasn’t one of my saved contacts. Considering the charges for receiving calls while abroad, I thought it best to ignore it. However, upon further inspection, I began to panic, particularly with family back in Reading-I honestly feared it might be an urgent hospital call or something of the sort. I attempted to ring back, but to no avail. If only I had checked this site beforehand, it would’ve spared me a solid ten minutes of anxiety! I've made a note of this service now-extremely handy, and I’m grateful for it!
