Numerous complaints suggest the calls may be illegitimate or linked to dubious operations. It is advised not to engage, avoid providing personal details, and consider blocking the number to minimise disturbance.

They've called me thrice over the past couple of days. Each time, they ask for my name but manage to get it wrong, then quickly move on to asking for my address and date of birth. When I politely inquired about the reason for the call, all I got was some rehearsed line about not taking too much of my time, but no real explanation. This morning, they rang once again and just hung up the moment I answered, without me getting a word in. Proper odd.

I seriously can’t get why these lot keep getting hold of my info! Someone please tell me how to make it stop with 01208393949. Bloody annoying!

I kept getting calls on my home phone from this number. After a while, I got sick of it and blocked them. Every time they rang, I asked them to take me off their list, but nothing changed. Eventually, I just told them to bugger off!

Got a call from this number loads of times, maybe two or three a week. It was an Asian lady who called out my partner’s name, then started going on about some market research thing. I just let her ramble for a bit, found it quite funny actually, then after a few minutes I ended the call. Pretty irritating having to deal with it all the time though.

29/06/2016 After seeing what everyone’s said here, I’m not gonna pick up if they ring. If they keep bothering me, I’ll answer once and then just drop the call straight away. Should that not do the trick, I guess I’ll just let it ring out. They never leave a message anyways, so I’m just gonna act like I’m out or something.

I got a call from 01208393949 on 29/06/2016 but didn't pick up. Later I looked it up online and saw loads of similar reports, so no way am I answering if they ring back.

This number 01208393949 has been ringing me up non-stop for the past half year, probably over 20 calls! Every time they ask if I know a person I’ve never even heard of. I told them to remove my number and quit calling, but they just don't listen and keep buzzing me. It’s so annoying!

I'm fed up with all these calls today; it's such a bother having to pick up, just in case it’s something crucial!

It’s quite disheartening that relentless calls from specific numbers are merely brushed off as bothersome or simply part of life. In a genuinely free society, those responsible for such intrusive telemarketing should be publicly named and shamed, appearing in whatever channels have the bravery to resist the tide of popular opinion that all too often normalises these extreme minority practices.

Had four calls today at different times: 11:20, 14:15, 17:28, and 18:10. It’s beyond irritating-can't they just leave me alone already?

I keep getting calls from these people, even though I've told them I'm on the TPS list and made it clear I won't be answering their questions. I always demand to be taken off their records and ask to speak to a manager, but I still get random calls from Asian-sounding voices every week or so. Is there anything that can actually be done to put an end to these nuisance calls?

Got two calls in less than an hour from an Indian lady using a very British sounding name - yeah, sure! Luckily, my caller ID showed a number from the 01208 area code, so I've just started ignoring those now. The first time she rang, she asked for me by name, and when I wanted to know what it was about, she just rambled on, so I ended the call. Didn’t pick up the second call. I’ve noticed before, when I do answer their questions, I end up getting nonstop annoying calls for ages afterwards.

There's this individual who's been ringing me up once or twice daily. Some days they barely utter a word, while on others, they mispronounce my name completely. I've got one of those call-blocking phones, but it's reached capacity with all these nuisance numbers, so I can't add any more to the block list. It's becoming quite tiresome!

Absolutely sick to death of the incessant calls today-four in total! What a nuisance!

I find it rather frustrating that I constantly get these calls from what seems to be an Asian voice on the line. I've made it abundantly clear that I'm signed up with the Telephone Preference Service, yet they persist in reaching out to me, typically about once or twice a week. I simply refuse to engage with them or answer their queries, which honestly just means they’re throwing their money down the drain by calling me!

I got a call from some UK company or something, they already had my name and wanted to ask me a bunch of questions. I told them no and asked them to take me off their list but they just kept pushing, kept trying to get me to answer until I couldn’t take it anymore and hung up. They’ve rung me like twice just today and several times over the past few days. Honestly, it’s really starting to annoy me big time!!!

Got two calls within one hour from a person with an Asian accent, claiming to do market research. I told them no, but they just kept pushing and wouldn't back down. They said they were from UK Preference or something like that. So annoying how they just don't accept a refusal. I ended up just hanging up on them. Seriously, why aren’t these idiots stopped from bothering people like this?

Got a call earlier and didn’t pick up straight away. When I finally did answer, there was just silence and some weird background noise. Tried calling them back but the number wasn’t familiar at all. Honestly, these annoying calls are everywhere lately!

I received a call from this number, seemingly from a woman of Asian descent claiming to be in the UK. The unfortunate thing was she barely managed to get my name right, which was a bit off-putting. I've actually had several calls from this same number, and more often than not, there's no one on the other end. It’s safe to say I’m really suspicious that it’s some sort of scam.
