EMC advisory calling about PPI, total blaggers, really rude and they just hang up if you say anything back.

I usually just ignore my phone now - theres loads of dodgy calls about. Got a ring from 1471, tried getting the number but nah. Seen what others said here, so I blocked it with 14258. Those muppets aint ringing me again - sorted that quick. Keep 14258 handy, it blocks the last number that called. Brilliant little trick!

I've recently been receiving unsolicited calls regarding my financial matters, specifically about endowment mortgages, bank loans, and the like. While I prefer to keep my language civil, I must admit that these constant disruptions are becoming rather unsettling. I absolutely refuse to engage in any private discussions with strangers over the phone. I plan to reach out to the relevant authorities to lodge a formal complaint. I’ll also be inquiring with the Telephone Preference Service about their seemingly ineffective measures; their performance, frankly, resembles a "chocolate fireguard" in terms of effectiveness. If this issue isn’t resolved promptly, I may have to escalate it further. The relentless harassment at all hours is simply unacceptable and needs to come to an end. Sincerely, Godfrey Waller.

Someone called saying they were from Barclays bank about some charges, but when I told them I don’t even have an account with Barclays, they told me to be quiet, not once but twice, and in a really nasty way. Proper rude.

I received a call from this number today, precisely at a quarter past noon on 2nd March 2016, but as soon as I picked up, the caller abruptly hung up on me. I haven't had a chance to check what others have said online, but it seems obvious this is a pestering company. To the regulatory body overseeing these sorts of operations, it would be great if you could actually take some action and fulfil your responsibilities!

Engage them in a conversation and keep them on the line for a while. Then casually mention that you need to take care of some household chore like washing up and ask if they could just hang on for a wee moment. Go off and do your tasks - if they’re still hanging about a few minutes later, you can chat with them a touch more before going through the same routine again. The more time you occupy them, the less opportunity they’ll have to prey on someone who might be more easily fooled.

I've been receiving calls from this number on my home phone almost six times daily. I don't pick up because I suspect it's yet another attempt to peddle PPI or something equally annoying. Is there a way to put a stop to it?

MCAS has persistently bombarded us with calls, inquiring about either my husband or myself. I've made it abundantly clear that we have zero interest in their services and that we've handled our endowment matters independently. Yet, this response hasn’t sufficed for them. The representative becomes downright offensive and displays a shocking lack of professionalism. It’s high time they were addressed, as I worry that some elderly folks might fall prey to their dubious tactics.

I just received a rather unexpected call from someone named "Luke" representing EMCAS, inquiring about my wife. When I probed him about the purpose of his call, he mentioned something about "her old Endowment policy." I wasn't interested and promptly told him, "No, thank you," before ending the call. It's quite baffling, especially after last week’s announcement by the Government regarding hefty fines of up to £500,000 for such nuisance calls. Yet, here we are, still being plagued by them! Just a heads up for those who might be unaware-many older individuals had endowment policies at some point, so when these chaps ring up claiming to know something, it's best to be cautious; they often don't possess any actual knowledge!

Received a call from this number, and when I expressed my disinterest, they abruptly hung up. Moments later, I found a voicemail left on my phone, and then they had the audacity to ring me again-this time from a rather rude individual. I really don’t see why I should indulge them if I’m not keen on chatting. Honestly, I’m reaching my limit with all these unsolicited callers; I refuse to entertain any of their questions!

Seems like Emcas is back to their old tricks once more. They're quite the nuisance, aren’t they? About a year back, I received a whole bunch of calls from them. Just last night, I got a ring from that number mentioned above, and they insisted on asking for a mangled version of my name. I told them, "There's nobody by that name here." Their response? Just a curt "Interesting" before they hung up on me. At least it's a bit of a twist - usually, it's me hanging up on them!

I received an unsolicited call from a firm named MCAS. A rather young chap was prying into my personal affairs regarding endowments. When I inquired why he felt it was appropriate to ask such questions, he accused me of being inhospitable and proceeded to comment on capitalism, claiming he was simply doing his job to provide financial assistance. I firmly told him that I had no interest in his services and requested that he refrain from calling me again. His behaviour was quite unprofessional, although he assured me he would remove my name from his list. I'm highly sceptical that he actually will! Additionally, I got two more calls from their Exeter office today, this time looking to chat with my husband about some issue. This company certainly seems to be nothing but a nuisance!

I'm utterly fed up with these individuals who keep bothering me incessantly. Despite my numerous requests for them to eliminate my number from their records, they remain exceptionally impolite. It would be wise to flag them for their harassing behaviour.

I’ve had numerous calls from this number, yet I’ve never been able to pick up in time. Today, my voicemail caught a cacophony from what sounded like a call centre, with someone chatting to a Mrs Bell. I’m absolutely fed up with these incessant nuisance calls, particularly since I’m registered with the TPS!

I wouldn't say it’s just a load of nonsense! If you take the time to engage with them, they’ll explain how they ended up with your number, often linked to one of those lifestyle surveys that ring you out of the blue. The firm that contacted me was EMCAS; they purchase information from these data collection agencies about folks who've indicated involvement with endowments or investments. Interestingly, they reached out to me about three months back, and I recently deposited a cheque for £18,274.38 as compensation for a policy I cashed out 13 years prior. I found their service to be incredibly professional and polite throughout the process. If more people were willing to listen, they might just uncover significant perks for themselves!

I'm receiving calls a couple of times daily, and they only ring for about three tones. It feels as though we're part of some chaotic situation where it's a race to see who answers the phone first, regardless of who's calling or where they're from.

It persistently calls several times before disconnecting - we’ve chosen not to pick up. Even after signing up for everything possible, these pesky calls continue to breach our defences - what on earth is going on and why does this keep happening?

I'm constantly receiving calls from this number, and we’ve chosen to ignore it entirely now. A few weeks back, my husband actually picked up, and it turns out they’re some sort of "claims company" trying to peddle their services, like making claims for PPI and such. I’ve signed up to every possible list to block these types of calls, and it really frustrates me that they still manage to get through! 😠

I received a call for the first time from someone claiming to be with MCAS. Ever since, my phone has been buzzing with their calls a couple of times daily! Yet, just as I'm about to pick up, they hang up after ringing for just a few seconds. Quite annoying, really!
