I received a call from this number but couldn't get through when I tried to ring them back.

I received a call from this number last night. The caller was looking to speak to someone with a different surname than mine. As soon as we informed them that they had dialled the wrong number, they promptly hung up. It left us quite puzzled about how they acquired our number and why they thought we had any connection to the person they were after. I noticed the dial code was 01226, which is from Barnsley. Quite alarming, really!

Received a call from this number, but the caller promptly disconnected. I'm unable to return the call.

I keep receiving calls from this number, and they’re always asking for different individuals. The moment you inquire about who they’re after, they promptly hang up. It's quite vexing, to say the least!

I've had a couple of missed calls from this number over the past fortnight. Does anyone have a clue who it might belong to?

Had a call from this number earlier today on the office phone. I didn’t quite catch the name of the chap who rang, but it’s definitely a mortgage broker.

Absolutely the same experience here. There's definitely someone there, yet they seem to just cut the call!

I've received two calls from this number in the past day, both without any sound. I'm planning to report it to Ofcom, and I recommend that others do the same.

We've been getting calls from this number, but when we pick up, there's just silence on the other end. You can hear some sort of chatter in the background, yet not a single person actually says anything. Quite strange, really!

Don't hang up just yet-keep the line open, grab a cuppa, and have a natter while they’re still on the line! Perhaps even start painting the hallway! Plan that holiday of yours; their phone bill will skyrocket before they manage to call anyone else, ha!

As a registered mortgage broker in the financial services sector, we're quite taken aback that this company had the audacity to cold call us regarding mortgage offers. It’s baffling, really, since there’s absolutely no chance we would have reached out to them. Given our profession, we find their approach quite inappropriate. I strongly urge anyone who receives a call from these folks to report them to the Financial Services Authority at the earliest opportunity. It’s crucial to hold such firms accountable for their actions.

My 12-year-old daughter keeps receiving calls from this number every single day on her mobile. It’s absolutely appalling that a company would stoop so low as to harass children like this. There should definitely be regulations in place to put an end to such behaviour!

This number keeps ringing incessantly, claiming she must speak to our partner urgently about some mortgage matter-something to do with a review, I believe. Honestly, calling her obnoxious doesn't even begin to cover it!

We've been bombarded with calls from this number all week. I've been leaving messages on voicemail, but just today around dinner time, we yelled down the line for them to clear off. They quickly rang us back, addressing us by name and I shouted at them to stop calling. When I hung up, they had the audacity to ring us again! This time, they left a message, but the call cut off before it finished. It's beyond frustrating!

Had a call earlier today, but there was no message left. It’s frustrating because cold calling shouldn’t even be allowed! I’m really fed up with these constant interruptions. I reckon it’s time to invest in a call blocker. One ring and then they vanish without a trace!

Today, we received a call from someone named Ben, who mentioned that they were associated with the Mortgage Review. Quite curious, isn’t it?

I received a call from this number today, and it was quite bizarre! Instead of the usual pleasantries, all I got was a pre-recorded message of someone cackling away, which was rather unnerving, to say the least. Not surprisingly, they cut the line after that! It’s quite frustrating, really. It seems to me that they might be using a premium-rate number, banking on the hope that folks will ring back and line their pockets. Has anyone got a clue about where we might lodge a complaint about this sort of nuisance?

I've been plagued by nonstop calls from this number for weeks on end-it's truly maddening! BT hasn't been much help, and the TPS is just as useless. I really need assistance in stopping these relentless calls from 01226291600 that seem to come at all hours. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

What a right nuisance! Earlier today, we received a call from this number, but when we tried to ring back, there was no luck at all! It's rather vexing, if I'm honest!

Received a missed call on my mobile earlier today, but there was no message left and I've no idea who it might be. Quite puzzling, really!

I received a call from this number earlier today at precisely 16:27. There was definitely someone on the line, but all I could make out was some background noise before they abruptly hung up. After calling 1471, I realised I didn’t recognise the number, so I decided to investigate the dialling code. After a bit of searching, I found this website! It’s fantastic that folks are taking the initiative to alert others about these dodgy calls!
