This appears to be a rather dodgy claims line, if you ask me.

Received a fresh call from a new number at 11:49 this morning. They didn’t bother leaving a message, so I say, forget about it!

This number is based in the UK. Just a heads up about those 0239 codes; they seem to originate from the States. Stay cautious!

Absolute nuisance from PPI! I hung up the call, and when I tried to dial 1471, those pesky folks were still blabbering away on the line. What a bother!

I received a call from this number just now, marking the first time it’s happened. They didn’t bother to leave a message, and I’m quite relieved we didn’t pick up. It appears to be yet another one of those pesky PPI spam calls.

Received a call at around 1:10 PM today, claiming it was of utmost importance regarding our pension bonus. We decided to hang up.

According to their info, my mum is 59 and should get an extra grand on her pension - she’s actually 86! She’s been signed up with the TPS for ages, so clearly these lot couldn’t care less about following the rules.

I just got a call from them too... claiming I got a £1000 'reward'. No idea who was on the other end, no ID or nothing. Very suspicious.

Got the same call a bunch of times now. No company name on the voicemail or when I pick up. They tell you to opt out by registering with the TPS, but I’ve been on that list for over a decade, so clearly they’re just ignoring it.

Today at around 10:13am, I got a call but missed it. When I dialed the number back and checked the caller ID with 1471, it turned out to be from some marketing and sales firm. I didn't bother answering and just ended the call.

Got a call today, 7th March, around 1pm, but all I got was dead silence, no message or anything. Honestly, it’s so annoying, these calls are a total pain. Wish there was an easy way to stop them for good.

Got a call on 7th March 2013 at around 5:07 pm. The automated voice was telling me I could claim a £1000 bonus if I was under 60, asking me to press 5, or press 9 if not. It’s clearly one of those dodgy scams. Surely BT must be able to track down who owns this number and hand it over to the police? Seems like they should do something about it.

Over the past couple of days, I've gotten a couple calls like this. It was one of those automated messages, so I just let the phone rest on the table without hanging up. I think that kept the line active, maybe preventing them from bugging others for a little while.

I got a call from these people claiming I could get some money, but it felt dodgy. When I asked who they worked for and to prove they were legit, they quickly changed their story and said I didn't qualify after all. Be careful and don’t hand over any personal info to them.

I keep getting calls from these scammers telling me to press 5 to get £1,000. I just don’t answer them now and fingers crossed they’ll stop bothering me soon!

On the 3rd of May '13, around half past two in the afternoon, this number gave me a ring. I stayed on to hear the full recorded spiel about my pension. They said press 5 to chat with someone about making a claim, or 9 if I wanted out. I chose 9. Then, about 15 minutes later, the same number called again with the identical message, so I hit 9 once more. After that, I tried ringing the number back myself, only to get another recorded message telling me not to stress, it was all just marketing talk. Honestly, I couldn’t decide which was more frustrating - the first paid-for message, the second one I effectively paid for by using my phone, or the fact I never got to speak to a real person or even leave a message of my own.

On the 3rd of May 2013, around half past two in the afternoon, I got a call from this number. They played a recorded message about pensions, telling me to press 5 to speak to someone about making a claim, or 9 if I wanted to opt out. I hit 9, but then about 15 minutes later, they rang back with the same message, so I pressed 9 again. After that, I tried calling the number back myself, only to get another automated message saying not to worry as it was just a marketing call. I honestly couldn’t decide which was more frustrating - the initial paid recording, or the call I paid for that didn’t let me talk to anyone or even leave a message.

I keep getting calls from this number and when I try calling back, there’s some automated voice talking about sales and marketing stuff. They say it’s harmless, but if you press 9 to stop the calls, I think it might actually connect you to a premium rate line or something? Honestly, I wish someone would sort this out, it’s really annoying!

I keep getting calls from the same number and when I ring back, it’s all about sales and marketing stuff. They say “nothing to worry about” and then ask you to press 9 if you want to stop the calls. I’m pretty sure pressing that just connects you to a premium rate line or something. Someone really should take action against these calls!

Got a recorded urgent call saying something about my pension and a £1000 bonus. They told me to press 5 to go on or 9 if I’m already handling it. Felt like a scam to me.

Got a call from Birmingham about my pension, which wasn’t right. Then another one came through from Manchester, number 01618263251, saying the same thing. Both were bogus as my pension is private. I got tired of these annoying calls and decided to check with BT for a solution. Turns out, there’s some good news. You can use Anonymous Call Rejection to block calls where the caller hides their number. If they don’t show their number, they simply can’t get through to you - only calls with visible numbers get in. To set it up, dial *227#, to turn it off use #227#, and to check if it’s on, dial *#227#. There’s also a “Choose to Refuse” feature letting you block up to ten specific numbers from bothering you. If you want to block the last call you took, just dial 14258, and it will ask you to press ** to confirm. Once blocked, those numbers can’t call you again. If you want more info, you can ring BT on 0800 800 151. This really helped me stop the pestering calls!

I'm on the TPS and when you check their website, they guide you straight to the ICO where you can make a complaint. Here's the link: http://www.ico.gov.uk/for_the_public/topic_specific_guides/marketing.aspx. The more people put in reports, the more it helps, so definitely worth doing! :)

Got a call claiming I had £1000 bonus waiting from my pension. They said it’s cos I’m under 60 (which is totally not true). They asked me to press 5 to learn more, said it was super urgent! Then they said if I don’t want calls again, press 9. If you wanna block all promo calls, register with TPS. Beware it’s a scam!

Even though I’m on the TPS list, this number (and loads of others) keep ringing me! I ended up getting some Panasonic phones that have a built-in option to block calls straight from the handset - honestly, that’s the best tip I can offer anyone struggling with unwanted calls!

This number keeps ringing me and sending texts that I never asked for. It's really annoying! Is there any way to make it stop?

They ring me and just hang up the moment I pick up. These firms must be footing a phone bill somewhere, so why doesn’t BT or whoever handles their billing just cut them off for pestering calls? Reporting them to Ofcom or signing up to do not disturb lists is pointless. I’ve chatted with Ofcom and they claim the callers switch numbers all the time. We all know that’s rubbish, but Ofcom seems too lazy to care. Their usual response is just some scripted nonsense and zero real action. I even said the number's trackable and can be returned, but they clearly couldn't be bothered to follow it up. Honestly, wish doing nowt got me paid like that!

I keep getting calls from these annoying people. Does anyone know if pressing 5 on the phone ends up costing you? I’m not sure if the t.p.s.w. actually blocks these calls since they come from a UK landline rather than being hidden. The calls from overseas call centres always manage to slip through, even when they hide their numbers.

On 8th Feb 2013, round about 4pm, I got a recorded call talking about some £K bonus and told me to press 5. Looks like they’ve been sending the same message to different numbers before.

Hey everyone, just to share this - apparently these calls come from a part of Jobcentre Plus. They seem to be checking out benefit claimants to see who can operate a phone. Once someone’s been spotted, they get shoved into telemarketer roles, basically generating even more annoying calls! Here’s a thought: why aren't MPs taking a pay cut? After all, they're paid from public funds too. And what about bank managers? If banks refuse to lower their pay, maybe folks should stop using them and withdraw their cash. Time to shake up the money system a bit!

This number has called me about 8 times in just a few days. Sometimes they stay quiet, other times they try to sell me some £1000 pension refund. It’s getting really annoying now and I’m desperate to block them. I’m already on the do not call list and my number’s unlisted but nothing seems to work. We’re in our 80s and it feels like these con artists are going after older folks like us. Does anyone know how to actually stop this? It’s driving me mad!
