Missed a ring from a number I didn’t recognise.

They gave me a ring a couple of times, but I never picked up and just ended up blocking the number. They called again yesterday too. It’s like they do bursts of calling - before Christmas it was every day for nearly three weeks, then they went quiet, and now they're back at it!

Got a call from 0121 318 4401, but my phone flagged it as "Nuisance?" so I let it ring off. No clue what kind of scam it was, but I’m guessing it’s those pesky people who always do that "Can You Hear Me?" scam. Seriously, don’t ever say yes if they ask “Can you hear me?” because they use AI to twist your answer and pretend you agreed to something shady. Stay safe and just hang up!

I kept getting silent calls, so I looked up the number here, blocked it straight away and reported it to Ofcom.

Some bloke called James rang me up out of the blue, saying he was an energy advisor about solar panels or insulation or something. I’m on the TPS list so they really shouldn't be phoning me like that. Proper annoying!

Got a call from some AI bloke who said, "Hello, can you hear me? This is James from the local energy advice centre." He asked if I owned the house, I jokingly said I was the cat. Suddenly, a lady’s voice came on, said thanks for my time, and then the call ended. Quite odd!

They rang me despite being on the do not call list and I’d already said I didn’t want to hear from them. I just hung up straight away before even saying anything. Such a waste of time.

I just got a call from some AI energy advisor called "James" for my local area. The bloke has such a friendly English accent it almost sounds legit. Honestly, this scam is really dangerous since it could easily trick loads of people, especially older folks who tend to trust voices like that. Proper dodgy! 🤬

Got a call from a bloke called James, he said he was some sort of insulation advisor. Took him a bit to get to the point, then he was going on about how our house had ancient insulation. Tried to get a word in but he just kept yammering. Ended up putting the phone down. Honestly, sounded just like those usual annoying calls we get all the time.

Had my landline ring around 10:47 this morning, 20/4/26. The call came just after another one from 0124 278 5494, which judging by other comments, is linked to the same annoying lot. TrueCall stopped it from ringing through properly and there was no voicemail or anything left. Both those numbers have gone straight onto my blocked list now. Same old nonsense from Cambridgeshire, it seems.

Today at about 4:17pm, my landline rang. There was a brief pause before the person said, "Hello, can you hear me?" He then introduced himself as "David from Doors & Windows". I told him all my windows and doors were done just three years back, but he kept interrupting me. Honestly, felt like some sort of AI call. Definitely felt like a scam and a nuisance. From now on, I’m just going to hang up straight away.

A bloke calling himself David claimed he was from London, but said his energy firm operate nationwide. When I tried to calmly ask how he got my number since I’m on the TPS list, he just kept interrupting me. Kept repeating his name and asking if I could hear him, which was really annoying. In the end, I had no choice but to hang up. Proper cheeky.

Got a call on my landline but it never actually rang, and there was no voicemail or message left. Feels like some dodgy scam to me.

I left a message after the answerphone kicked in, and they just sat there listening the entire time before putting the phone down. I heard somewhere that these calls might be recording your voice to train AI now - even just saying "hi" can be captured. Thinking I’ll have to swap out my usual outgoing message for some kind of robotic automated one!

I thought GDPR was meant to put an end to these annoying calls... This one is some kind of AI robot that always starts with, 'Hello, this is David from Refresh Windows and Doors'. I've had calls from loads of different numbers like 01527 398920, 0118 229 5281, and others in those ranges like 5283, 5284, 5307. Also from 01432 555029 and 555036, plus numbers like 01474 499019, 01492 703284, 020 3342 8992, and even 028 4378 0981, 01228 248061. No matter how many times you block them, they just keep ringing back. So frustrating!

I wasn’t home when the phone rang, but the voicemail said something like “David from Windows and Doors,” pretending we’d already met or something. I have no clue who this bloke is. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.

Got a call where the person asked me if I’d been in a car crash. Then he started telling this crazy story about my great grandma being in a coma because of it. As soon as I called him out, he ended the call. He spoke with a kinda Indian accent, but it wasn’t too heavy. When I asked right away if it was some kind of scam, he sounded proper offended.

I got a call from someone saying there might be something wrong with the loft insulation in my house, claiming it could be damp or not properly done.

Had a call from what sounded like a posh BBC announcer, proper clear English, but turns out it was all robotic. Started off with 'Can you hear me alright? How are you today?'

Today at about 2.39pm, I got a ring on my landline claiming to be from a local energy consultant. I picked up since it’s supposedly meant for my area. The voice sounded like a posh English bloke at first, but it felt like some kind of robot speaking. After seeing the bad reviews here, I’ve decided I’m not gonna pick up if this number pops up again.

My nan, who’s almost 85 - you can really tell by her voice - got a call from a bloke with a proper English accent. He kept checking if she could hear him alright. He was going on about double glazed windows, but my nan told him she didn’t want any. Despite that, he kept pushing, saying they could do the job for her. She mentioned she’d have to speak to her lads and even gave him her name. After she ended the call, they rang her straight back. Then, they started saying they were from the “local council” and wouldn’t take no as an answer.

I've been getting nonstop calls about solar panels and energy savings, probably my 100th one today! Someone mentioned Wavecrest Network Limited, so I went ahead and blocked all their numbers that they offer. Fingers crossed this cuts down on the spam a bit.

Got a call from Wavecrest Networks Ltd yesterday, which is well known for being a haven for scammers. My phone flagged it as a possible scam so I didn’t bother answering. They’re really pushy folks, if you do pick up they just don’t take no for an answer. Honestly, it’s borderline harassment and could be really harmful, especially to those who are more vulnerable.

Didn't answer the call and now I'm relieved after reading some of the other comments. Lately, the number of these annoying calls has really gone up, especially since I hadn’t received any for quite a while. Even though I’ve been on the TPS list for ages, they somehow keep getting through, so we just keep adding them to our block list.

This bloke calling himself Dave was chatting about fitting new windows. Even when I tried to cut in, the "person" just kept going on. I yelled to my husband that it was clearly some kind of robot, and then it paused to say, "I'm not a robot, just following a script," before going on non-stop again. It sounded a bit more human than usual, but there’s no way it wasn’t AI-generated. It wouldn’t stop even if I told it to.

This was the second time he’s called, despite me asking them to delete my info from their list not once, but twice already. Even after I repeatedly said we’re not up for it, he just wouldn’t stop talking. Honestly, it’s beyond irritating and feels like proper harassment.
