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 documents, it appears that my mother, who’s actually 86 years old, is mistakenly listed as being 59 and eligible for an additional £1000 on her pension. She signed up with the Telephone Preference Service ages ago, so it's clear this lot really takes their responsibilities to heart!

I received a call too, with the same information. They mentioned a £1000 'bonus', but there was no way to ascertain who was on the other end. Quite suspicious if you ask me!

I've received this call countless times now. There's never any company name mentioned in the voicemail or when I pick up. They claim you can opt out by registering with the TPS, but I've been signed up for over a decade! Clearly, they’re just disregarding that.

I happened to let this caller slip through my fingers earlier today at 10:13 in the morning. Upon ringing back using the 1471 service, I discovered it was a sales and marketing firm. I promptly decided to end the call.

What an absolute bother! Received a call today at 1 PM on the 7th of March, yet all I got was silence on the other end. It's incredibly irritating. Honestly, these sorts of people ought to be dealt with severely.

Received a call at 17:07 on the 7th of March 2013. I was greeted by a pre-recorded message touting a £1000 reward, instructing anyone under 60 to hit 5, or press 9 if it didn’t concern them. No doubt this is a scam. Isn’t it about time BT tracked down the source of this number and relayed the information to the authorities?

This number keeps ringing my phone, yet never bothers to leave a voicemail. Any suggestions on how to put an end to these incessant calls?

I received a silent call from this number at half past twelve today. It appears I've been getting one of these mysterious calls daily for the past week. Quite baffling, really! No clue as to the reason behind it.

I've received two calls from this number in just the last couple of days. Clearly a pre-recorded message, so I opted to just place the phone down on the table rather than hanging up. By doing this, I reckon it keeps the line open, which might help in preventing them from bothering a few others.

Beware, as this appears to be a fraudulent operation claiming to offer financial assistance. When I requested proof of their legitimacy and which governmental agency they represent, they quickly claimed that I wasn't qualified for any assistance. It’s best to refrain from sharing any personal information with them.

They've been ringing us persistently. No texts or any form of communication, just dead air on the line.

I keep getting hounded by them - it’s the same old scam about pressing 5 for a chance to claim £1,000. Honestly, I’m just going to ignore them and hope they tire themselves out and stop bothering me eventually!

On the 5th of March, 2013, at around half-past two in the afternoon, I received a call from this number. I endured a lengthy pre-recorded spiel regarding my pension, and was prompted to press 5 to discuss my claim with a representative, or 9 to decline further contact. Naturally, I pressed 9, only to receive the same tiresome message a mere quarter of an hour later. I once again opted for 9. Out of sheer curiosity, I tried calling the number back, but was met with yet another recorded announcement, assuring me that it was simply a marketing gimmick. Honestly, it’s a toss-up as to which was more infuriating-the initial automated call they paid for, or the follow-up one that I had to pay for but could neither converse with an actual person nor leave my own thoughts!

On the 5th of March, 2013, at approximately half past two in the afternoon, I received a rather tiresome call from this number. I was subjected to an entire pre-recorded message regarding my pension. It offered me the option to press 5 if I wished to speak to someone about making my claim, or alternatively, press 9 if I preferred to opt-out. Naturally, I pressed 9, only for them to ring me back a mere quarter of an hour later, delivering the same incessant spiel. So, I pressed 9 once again. Subsequently, I decided to dial the number back, but was met with yet another recorded message assuring me not to fret, as it was merely a marketing ploy. Honestly, I’m not sure what was more tedious-the initial recorded message for which they forked out cash, or the one I ended up paying for that left me unable to converse with anyone or leave my own message.

I've been receiving identical messages, and if you try calling the number back, you’re just met with a sales and marketing spiel. It seems harmless enough at first, but pressing 9 to opt out is rather dodgy, as it could lead to a premium rate charge, I reckon. Honestly, I really wish someone would take action against these nuisances!

I've been receiving the same annoying messages repeatedly. If you try calling back, you just get a recording about their sales and marketing spiel - and they say there's “nothing to fret about.” It suggests pressing 9 if you wish to opt out of their calls, but I've heard that could lead to you being placed onto a premium rate line. Honestly, I really wish someone would take action against these nuisances!

Received a rather suspicious phone call claiming I could snag a £1000 bonus since I’m of pensionable age! They instructed me to press button 5 for further details, but I decided to hang up before proceeding any further. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!

I’m registered with the Telephone Preference Service, and if you check out their website, you’ll find a connection to the Information Commissioner’s Office. Here’s the link for your convenience: http://www.ico.gov.uk/for_the_public/topic_specific_guides/marketing.aspx. You can definitely lodge a complaint there. The more of us who take action, the more effective we’ll be in tackling these issues! Cheers!

Fraud alert! I received a call claiming I had a £1000 bonus waiting from my pension. They tried to convince me it was because I'm below 60 (which is totally incorrect!). The caller urged me to press 5 to learn additional details and insisted it was an urgent matter! If I’m not interested in further calls, they said I should press 9. And for those wishing to block all marketing calls, they suggested reaching out to the TPS. What a nuisance!

This number has contacted me several times, along with countless others, even though I've registered with the Telephone Preference Service! I recently invested in some Panasonic phones, and they come equipped with a great feature to block unwanted callers. Honestly, that's the top recommendation I can share with anyone who’s having similar issues!

I'm inundated with bothersome calls and texts from this particular number, and it's becoming incredibly frustrating. Is there any way to put an end to this? They’re just an absolute pest!

I keep receiving phone calls from this number, but as soon as I pick up, they hang up. It’s baffling to me how these companies are racking up phone bills without any consequences. Why can’t BT, or whoever handles their billing, just cut off their service for being such a nuisance? Reporting these calls to Ofcom feels utterly pointless; I’ve reached out to them and they mentioned that these callers simply switch numbers all the time. Honestly, that’s a bit of a stretch - we all know that’s not the case. It seems like Ofcom is just going through the motions, reciting their scripted responses rather than taking any real action. I even pointed out that the number is traceable and could be returned, but they seem reluctant to investigate any further. I sometimes wish I could earn a living doing absolutely nothing!

I've been inundated with calls from these bothersome nuisances. Does anyone happen to know if hitting the 5 on your keypad incurs any charges? I'm a bit in the dark about whether the Telephone Preference Service can help curb these interruptions, especially since they originate from a UK landline rather than a number that's withheld. It's baffling how calls from overseas call centres manage to slip through the net, even when they don’t reveal their number.

On the afternoon of 8th February 2013, at precisely 16:37, I received a rather odd pre-recorded call concerning a £K bonus. It prompted me to press the number 5. Strangely enough, I’ve come across chatter online suggesting that this identical message has been sent from various other numbers before.

Greetings to everyone! It appears that the individuals making these calls are part of a division within Jobcentre Plus. Their role is to assess those receiving benefits to find out who might be capable of operating a telephone! Once they determine this, that individual is then funnelled into a position in telemarketing, where the aim is to bring in even more rather amusing callers. Now, here’s a thought! Why aren’t our Members of Parliament willing to accept a pay reduction, considering their salaries also come from the public purse? And what about bank managers-why aren’t they seeing a cut in their wages? For those banks that refuse to make any adjustments, I say, withdraw your funds! Let’s disrupt the current financial system!

I've received eight calls from this number this week, some of which were silent while others were pushing a £1000 pension refund. It's rather annoying, to say the least, and I'm desperate to put an end to it. I've already registered for the exclude number scheme and I've got myself on the X directory, but what more can I do? We're in our eighties, and it appears these scammers are specifically zeroing in on folks like us. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
