Got a call from Platinum supermarket, and it felt off - just trying to get me to answer a bunch of questions. Definitely seems like a scam to me.

When asked about the existence of the 'Platinum Supermarket', the individual responded with a strong African accent. After conducting a Google search, an address was provided.

Similar to others, there are always the same lies and the same response. The best solution, if you are a customer of BT, is to dial 1572 and add the unwanted number to your personal blacklist. This method has proven to be effective.

Over the past week, this particular number has contacted us at least two times every day. However, it is often difficult to comprehend the content of their calls. Despite being registered on the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) list, their disregard for our preference is evident.

I got a call from a guy with an Asian accent doing some sort of survey. I told him my number’s registered with the TPS so I shouldn’t be getting any random calls. He just brushed it off, said something like “so what?” then started calling me stupid for not listening right. I just ended the call then and there!

An individual with an Asian accent phoned to inquire about a survey. I informed them that our number was listed on the Telephone Preference Service (TPS), which prevents us from receiving unsolicited calls. However, the individual responded dismissively, implying that it didn't matter and proceeded to rudely lecture me. Fed up with the harassment and persistence, I swiftly ended the call.

Got a call from a bloke with a strong Indian accent, said his name was Michael. He kept asking for my missus, and when I asked why he was ringing, he told me he was from Platinum Supermarket. I asked where he found my number, and he said it was in their database. When I pressed him on how it ended up there and asked to chat with his Data Protection Officer, he just hung up on me.

So, this just happened to me - I got a call from a bloke named ‘Richard’ saying he was calling about benefits. I just cut him off and hung up. Then, he calls me right back asking why I ended the call! I told him straight up he was being dishonest. We had a bit of a back and forth, where he actually called me stupid! So I told him I was about to hang up, and then did exactly that. You won’t believe it, he called yet again! This time he accused me of having no manners, so I hung up for good. Honestly, these guys are something else.

What on earth is the purpose of calling someone just to hang up without uttering a word? It's incredibly frustrating! The only silver lining is knowing they’re the ones footing the bill for a call that goes nowhere - at least we escape without any charges! How perplexing! - caller: Beats me!

Between the dates of 4th June 2019 and 7th June 2019, I have received a total of seven phone calls from this particular number. Each call has been made by individuals with non-English accents claiming to be from a company called "My Benefits." These individuals insist on asking me a series of questions. It is quite evident to me that this is a fraudulent scheme and I am fully aware of their intentions.

Got a call from someone with an Indian/Asian accent asking for a Mr something or other, but that’s definitely not me. Told them they’re breaking the law by cold calling, especially since we’re on the TPS, and warned I’d report the number. They started shouting down the phone! Naturally, I shouted back a bit. We’ve had loads of calls like this, each time someone looking for different names - seems like they’re just trying to fish out info or something. Proper shady behaviour if you ask me.

I keep getting calls on my work Skype number and I’m unable to block it. Yesterday and this morning, some guy with an Asian accent called asking strange questions, so I just hung up. They’ve rung again just now but luckily I’m working from home today, so I decided to mess about and made a weird noise down the line - let's wait and see if they bother calling again.

Today, on 7 June 2019, I received a call at my elderly mother's house. The person on the other end had an Indian accent that was quite difficult to understand. They asked me to verify the house number, address, and postcode. I tried explaining multiple times that we do not appreciate such calls and that I didn't know who they were. I informed them that we had registered my mother's number to avoid unknown calls, but the person insisted that they weren't breaking any laws. Despite my resistance, they continued persisting and asked for our age range. I firmly refused to provide any personal information, and subsequently, the caller abruptly ended the call.

Got a call today, 7 June, from someone with a strong Indian accent, which made it hard to follow. I told them this number belongs to an elderly person and we have it on a do-not-call list, so these calls shouldn't be happening. The caller sounded nice enough but kept pushing. He claimed he wasn’t doing anything illegal, but never really explained why he needed me to verify the address and approximate age. When I asked him to take the number off his list, he just ended the call.

I told him straight up I wasn’t interested, and he didn’t seem too happy about that. Then just this morning, same guy called again, saying it would only take 30 seconds and three questions. I told him I’d already spoken to someone earlier this week and asked them to stop calling me. He tried to argue a bit but ended up just hanging up.

I received a call from a woman with a potential Asian or Indian accent, who identified herself as a representative from "Platinum Supermarket". It was quite surprising to receive this call, considering the fact that I have signed up for the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). She insisted on verifying my identity by asking for personal information, such as my date of birth, address, and postcode. When I questioned her about the purpose of her call, she mentioned that she had a £25 voucher for me. Feeling dubious about the situation, I decided to end the call promptly.

Around half past eleven this morning, I got a call from a man with an Asian accent who said he was ringing from Sainsbury’s. He called me by my name and told me I’d won a £25 voucher. Then he asked me to verify my address, which he already seemed to know. I ended the call straight away and got in touch with Sainsbury’s to check. They told me they never phone customers like that, so it was likely a scam.
