The callers use multiple local numbers, including Barnsley area codes, and hang up once questioned or confronted.

It is advised not to engage, block the number, and report suspicious calls to official fraud prevention bodies to avoid potential scams or wasted time.

Just got a call a few days back from a number almost the same as before - only the last two digits changed. They obviously didn't fancy trying to get past my new call blocker **. Judging by all the other comments, they’re probably scammers anyway, so I see it as a win for my phone! I've got a BT Decor 2600 with TrueCall, and honestly, that £24 I spent at Currys was worth every penny - finally some peace and my missus is well chuffed too!

They didn't utter a word initially, then proceeded to inquire about my driveway. After I mentioned it’s part of a new build, just six years old, they abruptly ended the call! Complete time-wasters!

Some bloke called John from The Driveway Centre rang me up, but as soon as I said I was on the TPS list, he just hung up. Definitely feels like a dodgy scam to me.

Got one of those driveway scam calls today. The bloke said he was "John," but I'm pretty sure I recognised the voice from before. Funny thing is, he used to go by "Chris" when he called about loft insulation. I told him that and it totally threw him off!

Lol, looks like driveway John has up and shifted to Barnsley now. He sure gets around, doesn’t he? I’m curious if he flies in using a helicopter or something. Gonna have to ask him the next time he calls me!

Been getting calls from 01226666771 several times a day - like 4 times daily. They stopped on weekends and during the footie matches, but now they’re back at it. I usually let the answerphone pick up and as soon as it starts, they just hang up. Definitely a scammer, and they switch their numbers around so watch out, they don’t stick to just one.

This number 01226 666771 keeps ringing on my landline but only once each time. I don’t know who it is cause it’s not saved and every time I don’t pick up. I looked it up here and saw it’s listed as a blocked number. Seems like it could be some kind of scam.

Oh, look at that! Driveway John seems to have made his way over to Barnsley. He certainly gets about, doesn’t he? I do wonder if he’s got a helicopter to whisk himself around!

So I had a chat with a chap named “John” from the Driveway Centre. Oddly enough, he was previously known as “Chris” when it came to loft insulation stuff! And now he seems to have pitched up in Barnsley? Talk about a man on the move! When we mentioned that we recognised his voice, the poor bloke seemed lost for words!

I picked up the phone, having noticed I’d received a missed call from that very number the day before. The chap on the other end introduced himself as John and mentioned something about my driveway. I quickly clarified that he must be mistaken, as I don’t own such a thing. There was an awkward pause before he cut the call without another word. Quite bizarre, really!

This is a dodgy operation run by Sanako Service Ltd, a company that’s registered out in the unregulated Marshall Islands. Definitely best to block these lot and report them straight away to both the FCA here in the UK and Action Fraud. Stay safe out there!

Over the last couple of days, someone from the Driveway Centre kept ringing me. I finally picked up but as soon as I told them I didn’t have any driveway report or anything, they just got really rude and cut me off. They wouldn't even leave a message or talk properly, just really off-putting.

Scam alert! The guy called asking if we had a driveway, we said yes. He started going on about show homes and some sort of special discount deal, proper dull stuff. Then he wanted to know how old our driveway was. We asked him straight up what address he was referring to, and he hung up right away. Funny thing is, a business around here just got busted by trading standards and got slammed with a big fine.

Got a call from a bloke called John, saying he was from The Driveway Centre. He seemed to assume I had a driveway or something. When I told him I didn’t, he quickly said sorry for disturbing me, wished me a good day and ended the call. Heard afterwards this might be one of those scams going around.

I picked up this number one time, but the moment some bloke started talking about the “Driveway centre” I just ended the call straight away. Now I don’t bother answering anymore - let it just ring till voicemail kicks in. Yet, as soon as they hear the message, they just drop the call. I’m definitely gonna report this number.
