We recently dialled this number again, and the folks who answered identified themselves as EFS- HALIFAX. It felt like a scam to us. Please, steer clear of sharing any of your personal details with them, as they could very well exploit that information for their own gain.

Is there any legal recourse available for the inconvenience and time wasted due to Halifax? It seems they’ve hired quite the hapless bunch!

I’m employed at EFS, located in Birmingham. As soon as I gather the details for home insurance, it’s evident that if I can’t match the quoted price, I won’t return the call. However, if I’m able to provide a better deal on building and contents insurance, I’ll definitely get back in touch with the customer. Just to clarify, EFS operates under FSA regulations.

These clowns are ringing us up to twenty times a day, and when we pick up, it’s just crickets on the other end.

I've received multiple calls from 0121 764 7280, and they always seem to hang up before we can have a proper chat. It's utterly maddening! After a few attempts, I finally managed to call them back and discovered that they are associated with EFS, which I believe is linked to Halifax House Insurance. It took me quite a while to get through, as I either ended up in a queue or they just disconnected me. I'm planning to lodge a formal complaint with Halifax House Insurance, hoping to see this phone prankster brought to heel, or at the very least, for them to sort out their phone issues!

I've been receiving incessant calls from the number 01217647280, and it's driving me bonkers! Every time I pick up, there’s nothing but silence-it's infuriating! Just the other day, this number rang my home for a good twenty seconds, only to repeat itself multiple times afterwards, still with no one on the line. It's as if they have no intention of stopping. I wish they would just give it a rest, it’s beyond annoying!

A silent call just came through on my phone.

I received a couple of calls from this number, but they hung up both times. If they want to get in touch, they can ring back later. It's shocking how many fraudsters are out there exploiting phone lines. One has to wonder why the telephone companies don’t take action against this. Are they simply raking in too much profit from these shady characters?

I received two calls from this number, only for them to hang up both times. If they're truly after something, I wish they’d just call back instead. It's maddening how many con artists roam about, armed with nothing but their phones. One has to wonder why the telecom companies aren't doing more to tackle this issue. Could it be that they're making a tidy profit from these scammers as well?

Blimey, these prats are ringing us as much as twenty times a day! It's become utterly unbearable. We're seriously considering purchasing a phone with call blocking features just to put an end to this madness. Every time we answer, it’s just dead silence on the other end. It’s infuriating!

Indeed, this number rang our household but didn’t bother to answer when we returned the call. We got a nice message about some service experiencing technical issues. I'm hanging around to see if they get back to us and find out what they’re after. If it turns out to be a scam, I won’t hesitate to tell them precisely where to shove it!

Received a call from this number, and it turned out to be Legal & General trying to get in touch with my wife. The lady on the line simply wouldn’t accept our polite request to end the conversation. She introduced herself as **************** from Legal & General and was relentless in asking how much we're currently shelling out for our life insurance. Quite persistent, I must say!

I've had these folks ring me a handful of times throughout the month. Every time I pick up, there's just dead air on the other end. Then, after a bit of an awkward silence, a booming voice chimes in with, "The other party has cleared," and I must say, it absolutely jumps out at you! I’ve been straining to catch any whispers or sounds, only to be startled by that. Just last week, I signed up with the Telephone Preference Service, so I'm definitely putting in a formal complaint about this nonsense!

Just had a missed call from 01217647280, and it was completely silent! After a bit of online sleuthing, we decided to give them a call back and let them know our thoughts 😏. Fingers crossed they take the hint! Just to clarify, it turns out this was EFS reaching out on behalf of Halifax Bank.

I received a call earlier today, yet no one responded. During my tenure as an outbound telesales manager, I encountered a fair share of staff who were rather keen on boosting their call counts per hour but struggled when it came to delivering an effective sales pitch. This consistently led to the frustrating phenomenon of them simply terminating the call. I suspect this might be the scenario with this instance, as well as numerous other firms who tend to generate those annoying silent calls.

A phone rang, but I heard nothing at first. Then, after a brief pause, someone finally said "hello" before hanging up. Quite strange, really!

Blimey, we had a right load of trouble with these chaps calling us yesterday, claiming they wanted to chat about home insurance. We, rather foolishly, ended up sharing all sorts of details about our property and which company covers us. We even mentioned that we don't have a burglar alarm in place! They assured us they'd be in touch with a quote for both buildings and contents insurance. Well, we waited around like muppets, but not a peep from them. What a scam! Just a heads up, folks-watch out for these con artists!

This number has started ringing just now, but they've been calling numerous times throughout the day without anyone picking up. So, we decided to give them a call back, and it turns out it's a company called EFS-some sort of insurance outfit, by the looks of it. I'll be doing a bit of snooping online to find out more about them.
