Got a robocall about some tax fraud case linked to me. Absolutely not true! Just blocked the number straight away.

I usually just let it ring and go to voicemail these days. If I don’t know who's calling, I just ignore it. Never pick up unless it’s someone I know. It’s like a modern curse, all these random calls!

I never pick up calls unless I know who's ringing anymore. Let it go to voicemail instead. Most times there's no message left anyway. These days, answering random calls feels like such a hassle, like some kind of new annoying epidemic.

Somebody rang me yesterday evening but I have no clue who they were or what they wanted. I was at my chess club at the time and only saw the missed call when I got home late, about 10pm. They didn’t bother leaving any voicemail either. After reading other people’s stories about this company, I’m not keen on getting involved with them at all!

Just got called by some call centre from Asia again, trying to get me to give out my details!

I kept getting these annoying survey calls and asked nicely a few times for them to take me off their list, but they just ignore it. I even told them to bugger off a couple of times before they hung up on me. The only way to stop it was putting the number on block on my phone.

I received a call from this number on 19th November too! It was a call centre purporting to represent UK Benefits. I reckon this is at least the sixth time they've attempted to reach me. The number in question is 01227479518. Quite persistent, aren’t they?

Got a call from an Asian lady who immediately wanted to talk to me by my name. She said she had a few questions, starting with asking what my name was. Since she clearly already knew my name, I quickly hit the block call button right away.

Got a call from this number earlier. The bloke sounded Asian and kept asking for my name. I kept asking who he was but he didn’t say much, just kept saying sorry before hanging up. Definitely felt like some kind of scam to me.

These tosser from Canterbury called me again today. Didn't pick up any of the three ring before, and when that number showed on my caller ID this time, I ignored it again. As usual, as soon as it went to voicemail, they just hung up. You'd think they'd get it by now, but I guess it takes a while for some people to catch on!

Got two calls from this number earlier, missed the first one but picked up the second. At first, an Asian lady asked if she could talk to me, but when I said I wasn’t available, the call just dropped straight away. Strange behaviour.

So, I got a call from someone named Jennifer, she said she was from “YouBenefit.” I told her straight up I wasn’t interested in buying anything and said goodbye. Then, after just a minute, she rang me back saying she wasn’t selling anything but wanted me to answer some questions. I just ended the call.

This morning I got three calls from here, at 10.04, then again at 10.30 and 10.39. Thankfully, I already blocked them a few months back. Hope they finally take the hint. Maybe they should consider a different line of work instead of pestering people all day. What a pain.

They keep ringing my phone - when I finally grab the handset but don’t say anything, they just cut off. Really annoying!

Got a call around 3:06 pm on Monday 19th Nov 2018 from a man with an Indian accent, asking if Mr. X was available. I politely said no and ended the call. I marked it as harrassing because they clearly ignored the TPS rules and had no genuine reason to be calling.

I reckon my number, which is an old ex-directory from before 2005 BT listings, ended up on some quiet line list. I’ve come across that number before and it looked dodgy, like it was faked.

Got a call from this number, some guy with an Asian accent on the line. He said he needed to ask me a few questions but first wanted to check my postcode. Strange thing is, he already knew my name and my phone number. He was pretty pushy and kept pushing me for the postcode. I said no and then he just hung up on me. Later that same day, he tried calling again, asking the same stuff. When I said no again, he ended the call straight away.

Answered the call and some bloke started chatting in a language I didn’t recognise, then just cut off.

Got a call from a bloke with an Asian accent claiming to be from some 'Line Verification Department' - never heard that one before! He wanted me to confirm my address and name. I kept asking him why that was necessary, but all he said was it was to check if the phone number and details were up to date. This back and forth lasted well over a minute. Then suddenly, he just cut me off - and the number was blocked afterwards. What a waste of time!

Got a call from a guy who sounded Asian, wanted me to do some sort of survey about my home. I just told him I don’t do surveys over the phone and hung up.

This number just rang me a moment ago but I didn’t pick up since it looked unfamiliar. They didn’t bother leaving a voicemail either. Lately, I’ve been getting quite a few calls from different numbers, loads of which I’ve seen mentioned here. It’s getting quite annoying.

Got a call from an Asian woman asking the usual lot of questions. My missus answered, but she wasn’t feeling great, so it annoyed her loads. Feels like they're just trying to con us out of cash, but I can’t figure how exactly it’s meant to work. These calls need to end now. We keep blocking the numbers but it doesn’t seem to do much good. They definitely don’t sound like they’re anywhere near Canterbury.

Received a call around half-past two on the 16th of November, 2018. The bloke on the other end seemed to already have my name and address, and was rambling on about something that sounded like 'You Benefits'. He had quite a strong Indian accent. I decided to hang up, and he rang me back immediately asking why I'd cut the conversation short. I simply told him I wasn’t keen on what he was pitching. Does anyone know what this 'You Benefits' is all about? - Caller was a male with an Indian accent.

I keep receiving calls from this number, and each time it's a man with an Indian accent insisting on speaking to someone I’ve never heard of. As soon as I mention that there’s no one here by that name, they hang up. My number is supposed to be on the Telephone Preference Service, so I’m baffled as to how they are managing to bypass it!

I received a call from an Indian gentleman who seemed to be well-acquainted with our family surname. Depending on who answered the phone, he would either greet my wife as "Mrs..." or me as "Mr...". When we inquired about the nature of the call, he mentioned that he was from a company conducting telephone surveys. He quite earnestly implored my wife not to terminate the call! I simply responded with, “We don’t participate in telephone surveys” before cutting the conversation short. The name of the caller was 'You Benefit'.
