3 yearsI received a call from a chap with a noticeable Asian accent who had quite an insistent approach. He was promoting a service to block annoying calls, but his line of questioning raised a few red flags for me. He asked about the expiry date of my debit card, which struck me as rather odd. I wasn't keen on divulging that information, so I decided to end the call.6 yearsFor a few days, kept getting calls non-stop and then they just vanished for a bit. Ages ago, I picked up once and some bloke said he was with Virgin Media. Just went ahead and blocked the number after that.Virgin Media6 yearsI got a call from a guy with an Asian accent who claimed he was from GB Handset Ltd, saying he was working for some kind of call blocking service in the UK. He asked me to confirm my address but I told him the info was wrong. Then I mentioned I was checking out his company's name on Google and nothing showed up. Right after that, he just cut the call.GB Handset LtdUK6 yearsThis bloke rang me up, saying something about an application I supposedly made to stop those pesky nuisance calls. He said he was just sorting it out for me. But when I inquired how he intended to determine which calls to block, he abruptly cut the line. Quite suspicious!6 yearsGot a call with nothing but silence on the other end, then they just ended it. Pretty sure it was some kind of scam.6 yearsTotally a scam, watch out!6 yearsThis number keeps bothering me nonstop.6 yearsI picked up the call but the person on the other end hung up just a few seconds later.6 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent who claimed he was going to stop nuisance calls. Strange thing is, he mentioned my address and wanted me to verify it. I asked why he even needed that if his job was just to block the calls. Then he asks for my card's expiry date. I couldn’t help but laugh and he just ended the call right there. Typical!6 yearsAbsolute scam calls. The phone networks that provide these numbers should really be cracking down on these fraudsters or else they need to answer for it. They know there’s a massive amount of dodgy calls coming through but don’t seem to care enough to keep an eye on what’s going on. Seems like they’d rather protect their profits than look out for people who might get tricked. It’d be good if this site could point out which phone company is behind each number and shame them into doing something about it. S6 yearsI got a call from an Asian lady who kept asking for my card details. When I refused, she started being really rude. Even after I hung up, she rang back again.6 yearsFor the past couple of days, I've been getting calls from 01212969008 but there's nothing but silence on the other end. Seems like they might be hoping I'll call them back, but that's never happening!6 yearsGot a few calls from someone claiming to be from India, sounded a lot like a scam to me.India6 yearsThis bloke rings me up out of the blue, says, "Hi, this is Andrew, how are you today?" I just go, "What do you want?" Then nothing. Just quiet, then he hangs up.Andrew6 yearsGot a call from Mark at this number, claiming he's selling call blocker devices. But my number is on the TPS list, so I've already flagged this call to them.MarkTelephone Preference Service6 yearsThey keep ringing me even after I told them it’s the wrong number. I’ve had to block them now. They want to know a name that’s clearly not mine, probably got it from somewhere else. I never tell them anything and just hang up. This is happening around Manchester.Manchester6 yearsConstantly get calls where no one speaks, so annoying!6 yearsGot a call from someone claiming they’d install a call blocker on my phone, said they’re partnered with all the phone companies. Total nonsense. Definitely a scam!6 yearsGot a call from an Asian man who wanted the expiry date off my debit card. I just hung up and blocked the number straight away.6 yearsGot a call from an Asian chap asking if my debit card was near expiry. He kept going on about it being about my Virgin direct debit payment. I just told him I've already sorted the Virgin bill that way and hung up straight away. Seemed pretty dodgy to me, so didn’t share any info.6 yearsWatch out for this sketchy caller! Next time they ring, ask them straight up how they got your number, especially since my number’s not on any public lists. Let them know if they bother me again, I won’t hesitate to report them to the cops and get them looked into for dodgy business practices.6 yearsMy mum got a call from a bloke with an Asian accent using the number 0121 2969008. He claimed to know her name and address and said he could help block unwanted calls. He was asking if her card had run out, but luckily she didn’t share any info. He mentioned he was with BT Virgin and Sky or something like that.BTVirginSky6 yearsGot a call from someone claiming they were there to stop annoying calls. Then he asked for my debit card expiry date, saying it was linked to my phone bill direct debit. I told him the expiry date doesn’t matter for that. He insisted he had to make sure I was the one paying the bill. I told him no way, and he just hung up. Definitely a scammer.6 yearsMy 84-year-old mother received a phone call from 0121 2969008, where the caller claimed he could put an end to all those pesky nuisance calls. He went on to ask whether her debit card had run out. He insisted he was affiliated with BT Virgin and Sky. Luckily, she didn’t divulge any information to him.BT VirginSky6 yearsThey keep calling but never leave a message. Definitely a scam.6 yearsReally annoying, the phone rings but when I pick up, there's complete silence.6 yearsThese same numbers keep calling me non stop, but they never bother to leave a message. They ring at all sorts of times, probably hoping to catch me unawares. I just let them go straight to my voicemail, and as usual, no message is left. It's so frustrating, honestly - someone really needs to track these calls and put a stop to them.6 yearsThis number, 0121969008, has rung me six times in just one day. When I picked up, the person on the other end actually asked if I’ve been getting lots of annoying spam and scam calls - honestly, you couldn’t make this stuff up!6 yearsTotal fraud, watch out.6 yearsNumber didn’t show up on my BT Call Guardian, so I’m guessing it was either some sort of scam or from a call centre. I’ve gone ahead and blocked it now.BT6 yearsThere was no text left behind.6 yearsThis number has called me about 3 or 4 times recently. I picked up once but there was nothing said. Thanks to this website, I’ve figured out it’s a scam.6 yearsI told them I wasn’t giving out any info, even tho they said they’d block the Amazon calls I’ve been getting. They tried to get me to verify my card by reading the first 4 digits and asking me to confirm the rest! I just said no and ended the call. Now I’m watching my bank closely for any weird charges. I’m also going to tell my phone company so they can block these calls altogether.Amazon6 yearsGot a call from a guy called Michael, sounded Asian, claiming he was offering some kind of compulsory service to stop nuisance calls about solar panels from Amazon abroad. He tried to verify my address, but the place he mentioned is where I lived over 15 years ago! I asked him who exactly made this service mandatory. He started going on about supposed problems with my landline - which I don’t even have, by the way! Rather than give him any details, I told him I'd look into it myself. He refused to reveal the company's name and just ended the call.MichaelAmazon6 yearsI didn't give them any info at all. They claimed they’d block the calls I’ve been getting, supposedly from Amazon. Then they wanted me to verify my card by reading out the first four digits and asking for the rest. I flat out said no and ended the call. Now I’m watching my bank account closely for any dodgy charges. I’m also telling my phone company about it so they can block their number from ringing me again.Amazon6 yearsThey didn’t leave any message.6 yearsGot a call from some guy who sounded Asian, asking for the woman living here. I told him he must have dialled the wrong number, and he just snapped back with some rude name and hung up straight away. Lovely bloke.6 yearsThis number's been buzzing on my phone 3 times today. First call went to my missus, who handed it over to me. I wasn’t exactly polite about their pitch. Next time they ring, no sorry from them, just some chat about their mate I spoke to earlier. Third time? Nothing but dead silence then the line just cut off. Utter waste of time and energy dealing with these clowns. Had a look at my call history, and yeah, they've called 7 times this week, mostly just quiet calls.6 yearsGot a call from a guy who said he was calling on behalf of some group that stops spam calls. I just told him nicely to buzz off!6 yearsSome woman from Asia called me, wanted my bank card information, and got really rude when I refused to give it.6 yearsHad a call from someone with an Asian accent trying to help block nuisance calls - yeah right, like I’d fall for that! I swear, OFCOM needs to get their act together and start tracking these scammers. Surely with all the tech we’ve got now, they shouldn’t be so hard to find.OFCOM6 yearsGot a call from 01212969008, a bloke with an Indian accent. He already knew my name and claimed he could put an end to the annoying calls I’d been getting, which was pretty ironic since this one seemed like a scam too. The guy, George I think he said, said the service was free. I hung up as soon as he asked to verify some personal info. After reading others’ stories, it sounds like they sometimes ask for credit card numbers. Can’t help but agree - why aren’t these muppets being caught and shut down?George6 yearsNo message, just a whole lot of quiet.6 yearsYesterday, a lady rang me on the 29th of September, starting off by asking if we were bothered by nuisance calls. I couldn’t quite catch her name or which company she was from. She obviously had both mine and my husband's names, but I ended the call as soon as she began probing for personal info.6 yearsMy mate got a call from someone saying they were with BT, offering help to stop annoying calls. The details they gave didn’t match up - different names, addresses, and postcodes on the account. They asked for card details, like the number and expiry date. I told them if my mate has a direct debit set up, there’s no need to confirm anything like that. After that, I just ended the call. These scammers are dangerous. My friend’s 73 and could’ve easily fallen for it and given all his info away. They really should be shut down.BT6 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were there to help stop annoying calls. They asked for the expiry date on my bank card to confirm my identity. When I said I didn’t have the card with me, they just ended the call straight away!6 yearsHe rang and asked if I was Mrs so-and-so. I told him I’m still getting nuisance calls, actually have one right now. Then he just told me to enjoy my call and hung up. Strange experience!6 yearsWhen I picked up, there was no voicemail or anything left behind.6 yearsGot a call from 01212969008, sounded like an Asian bloke who actually knew my name but messed up my postcode by about 50 miles. Thankfully, I recalled this was one of those dodgy scams trying to nab your bank details, pretending to be from BT - and I don't even have BT as my provider. Didn't get any info off me, but it's scary how many people might get caught out by this.BT6 yearsJust like others here, the bloke was trying to sell me some call blocking subscription. I told him I wasn't gonna sign up and that I can block calls myself just fine. Before hanging up, he said, "Well, have fun with the annoying calls then."6 yearsI got a call from 01212969008 and when I picked up, there was nothing but silence, then the caller just ended the call. Really annoying!6 yearsGot a call from a guy who sounded Asian, he asked if I was a Mrs something I didn’t recognise. Then he wanted to know if the phone belonged to me, so I said I'm just the cleaner here. He just hung up straight away. I’ve blocked the number since then.6 yearsI answered but they didnt leave any message on my voicemail.6 yearsI've had the same number ring me a couple times today. Honestly, I’m fed up with answering calls from unknown numbers. It’s really annoying. Blocking them doesn’t seem to do anything either. Wish there was a proper way to put a stop to all this!6 yearsGot two calls from this number today. Picked up once and there was no one there. Ended up blocking it right after.6 yearsI was out when this annoying number kept trying to ring me, but they didn’t bother to leave any voicemail.6 yearsTrack these people down and lock them up for good.6 yearsMy phone has been constantly ringing all week, but when I pick up it’s mostly just dead air. This time, a guy with an Asian accent actually spoke and seemed to know loads about me - my name, address, postcode, even my debit card expiry date! He said he was calling from some nuisance call blocking service. When I asked for his name and said I’d get in touch with my phone company to sort things out, he just hung up on me.6 yearsGot a call from 01212969008 today. The bloke sounded Asian but kept forgetting his English name, which was a bit odd. He said he was ringing from some sort of call blocking company, but I cut him off straight away since I wasn’t interested. Reading other comments here, hanging up like I did is probably the best move. These types of calls are so common, and honestly, they really should be looked into properly, shut down, and those behind them held to account!6 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent claiming he worked for some company called BT Handset about nuisance calls. He told me there’d be no cost for their service, but then he started asking about my bank card and said it was due to be renewed in 2020. That’s just not true. I ended the call straight away. These calls keep coming daily, it’s so annoying. There must be some way to put an end to this. I’m sure there’ll be more calls soon.BT Handset6 yearsGot a call from 01212969008, bloke claimed he was with Sky but I reckon it was just another dodgy scam.Sky6 yearsI picked up this number earlier today but nobody said anything on the other end - just another annoying prank call, it seems.6 yearsThis number’s called me twice already today, just complete wastes of time.6 yearsGot a call from 012212969008, it was just silence on the other end. When I let it go to voicemail, nothing was left and they hung up after. Blocked the number straight away.6 yearsA bloke rang claiming to be from GB Handsets, asked if I was still getting annoying calls. I told him yeah, especially from people like him. He then said something like ‘Hope you get them forever,’ and just cut off. Needless to say, that number’s now blocked.6 yearsGot a call from 01212969008 earlier, some bloke saying I had to renew a subscription to stop spam calls. Asked me for my credit card info, which I obviously didn’t give since my phone company already covers that. He insisted it wasn't a scam, but I wasn’t buying it. I ended the call, and then he rang right back. Quickly hung up and blocked the number. It’s worrying though, because what if an older person falls for this and hands over their details? Surely there must be some way to track these scammers down? It could end up causing them serious trouble.6 years01212969008 rang but went straight to voicemail with no message left. Looks like a silent call so I've blocked the number now.6 yearsThis number called me a few times, about three if I remember right. When I finally picked up, they just dropped the call. Just a big waste of time. Of course, I’ve got an answerphone set up - why can’t they just leave a message? I’m just gonna block this number from now on.6 yearsGot another call from 01212969008 today, didn’t pick up though.6 yearsThey've been ringing me every day, sometimes even two times in one day. Today I decided not to pick up and let it go straight to voicemail. Proper pain in the neck, this Damon.6 yearsI picked up the phone and straight away the person on the other end hung up. Seems a bit sketchy to me.6 yearsHad a missed call from 01212969008 on both my mobile and landline, but didn’t pick up and just ended the call.6 yearsGets a ring about 3 or 4 times every day. I've put it on block now.6 yearsThese silent calls are such a pain, driving me mad!6 yearsI wasnt quick enough to answer the phone. After having a look at the other comments, I reckon this is the same person who called me before. The last time, I told him to bugger off using some old-fashioned Anglo English. Looks like they’re pretty persistent!6 yearsThis number has kept ringing me like 6 times in just two days. I picked up once yesterday and it was a woman with an Indian accent asking if I was receving any spam calls. I told her it was a scam and then I just put the phone down.6 yearsGot a call from a guy with a really strong Asian accent but carrying a very English-sounding name. He claimed he could put an end to all the scam and nuisance calls we keep getting. He even had our full name, address and postcode, so sounded official at first. Then he said he'd need permission from the person on the bill to proceed though. My wife didn’t buy it at all - she pointed out that it was dodgy hearing such an English name from someone who obviously wasn’t who he said he was. That’s when he dropped the line and hung up.6 yearsHad a call from someone whose name I didn’t quite get, said he was from GB Handsets or something like that. He asked if I’m still getting annoying calls. I told him yeah, this one included, then just ended the call because it felt like one of those dodgy scams.GB6 yearsGot another silent caller, this one’s called me like 6 times already this week!!!6 yearsThis number has rung me a few times within just one day, but whenever I let it go to voicemail, there's never any message. I'd say it's best to just block it or ignore altogether.6 yearsGot calls from 01212969008 twice today, and that’s in addition to the four calls I had yesterday. Pretty sure it’s some sort of call blocker scam going on.6 yearsGot 3 calls from this number within a day, they just went straight to voicemail each time and left nothing. Honestly, I'd say just block it or don't bother answering.6 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming he could put an end to my nuisance calls. Asked me to verify my address and the expiry date on my debit card. I told him I'd need a moment to find the details, then cut off after a few minutes. He rang me again, so I told him it was a pest call and to leave me alone. When he called a third time, I made it very clear I wasn’t interested. Sorted now by blocking the number.6 yearsGot called twice in one day by someone with an Asian accent saying they were from BT, trying to sell me a new phone and telling me about nuisance calls. I just told them their calls were a nuisance and they hung up on me.GotBT6 yearsGot a call today from 01212969008, sounded like an Indian bloke talking about installing a call blocker. Just hung up straight away. Seen three more calls from them this afternoon but didn't pick up any of them.6 yearsJust got a call from an Asian bloke asking for the expiry on my debit card. Told him no way and blocked the number straight away.6 yearsThis number has been ringing me off and on, but whenever I answer, there's nobody there. I've made a note of it now and won't bother picking up next time it rings.6 yearsThis number kept ringing but no one spoke. Then on 9th May 2020, I got a call from a man who sounded Asian. He claimed to be from something like 'GB handsets' and asked if I was getting annoying calls. When I told him that he was the one bothering me, he just ended the call. I’m definitely blocking this number now with my Sky Talk Shield - just found out how useful that is!6 yearsThis number has rung me twice already this week. I just let it ring through to my voicemail now.6 yearsSome guy with an accent was asking me a bunch of questions but when I said "No" to everything, he went off on me and started yelling really nasty stuff, calling me a "f###### lying son of a ####" out of nowhere!6 yearsI rang them but it just went straight to voicemail with no message left.6 yearsGot a call from some bloke with an Asian accent asking if I’d been getting any annoying calls. I just told him it’s only been him and then hung up. Think I had the exact same ring about a month back. They’re just fishing for your debit card details and expiry. Watch out for it!6 yearsSame old rubbish again.6 yearsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise, but when I answered, all I heard was silence. No idea what that was about.6 yearsGot a call from a bloke who sounded Asian but had a very British name, asking if I'd been getting annoying calls lately. He mentioned something about being from BT handsets or some sort of similar company. Then he tried to check the expiry date on my debit card, which seemed odd since I pay my bills by direct debit and he was oddly interested in confirming that. When I didn’t give him any details, he just cut me off. Felt really dodgy to me. I've blocked the number, though it probably won’t help much since these scammers can fake their caller ID to show pretty much any number they want!BT6 yearsToday, I got a call from someone named Mark Watson, supposedly from GB handsets, and he asked if I’ve been getting any 'nuisance calls'. Well, that’s a big YES from me!Mark Watson6 yearsMy mum got a call from this number, but she couldn’t make out much ‘cause the person spoke with a foreign accent. When I grabbed the phone and asked who it was, they just hung up straight away.6 yearsGot a call from an unfamiliar number but they didn’t even bother leaving a voicemail. Just one of those annoying nuisance calls.Submit Your Own Report (0121 296 9008)
