Got a call from some dodgy number, decided to mess about with them for a good few minutes until I lost interest and hung up. Classic vitamin scam, nothing new really.

There was this bloke named Benjamin who rang my elderly mate, pretending he was selling vitamins or something. He claimed he wanted a little natter and said he’d ring back once his folks had left, as he had something to ask her. When he called again, I picked up, but he just wouldn’t chat to me, kept asking when my mate would be free, then said he’d call another time. Honestly, it was quite annoying and a bit odd. By the way, he spoke with a foreign accent, something like an Asian one.

I've been getting nonstop annoying calls from different numbers before, like 01156970842 and 01217250176. It's pretty frustrating how they keep bothering me like this.

Sounds like one of those Covid scams to me.

Phone started ringing but hung up just as I picked up, didn’t leave any message. Proper annoying!

Got a call from 17942494, and some lady with a strong accent called herself Andrea and somehow already knew my first name. Took me a few tries to understand what she was saying, but eventually I worked out she was checking on how I was doing. I told her I couldn't quite catch her and ended the call. Reading through the other comments here, I'm guessing it's one of those companies trying to pitch vitamins. Such an annoying call that nobody really needs.

Got this number calling my mother-in-law offering her the covid vaccine. Reported it to the police straight away.

Got a call from some firm pushing vitamins. Even after I said I wasn’t interested, they kept pushing, saying I had to pay for them. I told them to take my info off their list, since it’s meant to be GDPR compliant. They still wouldn’t back off. If they ring me up again, I’m reporting them straight to the ICO.

someone called me looking for the old occupant who’s passed away, pushing some vitamins. after i mentioned he’d died, this lady with a strong accent, patricia i think, kept pestering me to set up a time for a chat with him tomorrow. reckon they never prepared their script for this kind of thing. so clueless.

Got a call from some vitamin company, total spammy cold call - completely annoying!

Got a call on my landline from a bloke who actually knew the person living here. He was trying to flog some vitamins. This is the fourth time they’ve rung in less than two months. I honestly thought we’d blocked this number by now.

I’ve got a call-blocking feature activated on my phone, so unless a number is stored, they’re only allowed to drop a message. The voicemail was quite garbled and filled with a lot of ruckus in the background. I attempted to return the call twice, but it just rang for ages before disconnecting.
