Got a missed call from this number earlier today. Someone mentioned it might be UK Preferences or something - bit odd because I had about four missed calls yesterday from 0208 555 6660, which seems to be linked to the same outfit. I've blocked both numbers now.

Got a call on my mobile from a UK number, they already knew my name which threw me off a bit so I wasn’t my normal cheeky self. They asked if I’d be alright to answer just four quick questions. I agreed but then they just ended the call outta nowhere. Pretty odd. Maybe I’ll ring back later and have a go at the same questions, might turn into a bit of a back and forth. Anyway, bye for now!

Got a call and the person just said something about me dying, then they just cut me off. Really weird and kinda scary.

I got a call from a number that said it was for a survey or something, but it turns out they’re actually operating out of East Asia. They wanted to ask me a bunch of questions, saying it was some kind of preference survey. Bit strange, really.

Had another ring from this number today. Some Amanda claiming to be from UK Preferences or something like that, asking for a minute to fire some questions at me. I said I don’t do questions from strangers and ended the call. Blocked the number but I’m sure they’ll be back, probably from a whole new phone.

Just had a rather peculiar phone call from an Asian gentleman who actually mentioned my name when I inquired about his identity. However, as soon as I posed the question, he promptly disconnected. This all took place at half past eight in the morning, which seems suspiciously dodgy-definitely gives off scam vibes!

An asian bloke said “UK immigration control, how can I help you?” when I picked up but I just said sorry and ended the call straight away.

this bloke said he was from the UK preference service or something, but he's rang me loads of times. the weird thing is the number that shows up is faked, not the actual one he's using. sometimes it pops up as someone from Cardiff or Maidstone instead. quite dodgy if you ask me.

08/09/16 10:16 Got another one from some asian caller pretending to be a legit number. It's number 23 on my block list now. Seems like half my phone rings are just scammers these days. What happened to the days before all these indian/ asian call centres popped up?? Never had this kinda hassle before.

Got a call again from an Asian bloke, but he had the wrong name and even got my address all mixed up. This is the second time it’s happened!

Got a call notification from BT Call Guardian saying this number rang me. Since the caller never said who they were, my phone automatically blocked the call. Probably just some call centre. I've gone ahead and blocked the number completely now.

I picked up and the call ended straight away, no idea what that was about.

I keep getting calls that I never asked for... We're on the Telephone Preference Service list, so I'm baffled as to why these pesky calls continue to occur!

Got a random call again, didn't even get a chance to ask what the Asian caller wanted, just told them my husband wasn’t here.

I just got a ring from this number. I've got pretty bad hearing, so when the bloke with an Asian accent started talking, I couldn't catch what he was saying. When I told him that, he started yelling something that made no sense still, so I ended up hanging up on him.

Really bad experience, they were so pushy and kept bothering me. Proper rude behaviour.

My 15-year-old daughter got called a nasty name on the phone - they actually said she was a b****! It’s shocking how rude some people can be.
