I've been getting calls from 01242343001 on my home phone, and it's a bit odd because they always come in around 1 in the morning. Not really sure what it's about since the call logs say it was from the previous day. Quite confusing.

They came across quite forceful, not sure how they ended up with my number, I’m pretty sure I always say no to sharing on comparison sites. Might hang up if it really is a legit energy deal place like EDF with chosen agents.

Got a text from that number claiming they're going to change my gas provider. I have no intention to switch and it smells fishy to me. Heard from others that they keep getting annoying calls from this same number too. Anyone knows what’s going on?

Utility Discount people were really nice and helped me save loads on my bills! If you're not bothered about saving cash, then maybe dont bother giving your info!

This number was ringing non-stop. One day it rang 18 times, even late into the evening and then again on a Sunday. I finally picked up and it was one of those "we can lower your gas and electricity bills" kind of calls. Like that annoying chap who knocks on your door with a clipboard, pretending to be from your energy company until halfway through his spiel. I've since blocked the number. They also called from other numbers starting with 012 and finishing with 515 and 517.

If you’ve recently filled out an online form about saving over £379 on your heating and electric bills, there’s a chance you’ll get calls from a company called UTILITY DISCOUNT. They ring from the number 0800 0821210 in Cheltenham. Just a heads up, if they keep calling, you might want to pick up and ask them nicely to remove you from their call list. Could save you a bit of hassle! Hope this info is useful to someone.

I already complained about this number sometime ago. Ive decided to mute my landline now so i cant hear it ringing, which means i keep having to check 1471 from time to time.

I’ve been getting calls from this same number nonstop, like 10 times a day for weeks straight, and it’s really starting to get on my nerves. I’ve even had to switch my phone off at times so I don’t have to deal with it, but that means I miss calls from mates and family too. Tried blocking the number but didn’t seem to do anything. Doesn’t the police have any way to stop this? - anonymous, Surrey, 23rd March 2017

Got four calls from them today, all asking for someone called Paula. When I said no one here has that name, the person said it was fine and they’d just speak to me instead. It was an energy firm trying to find out who I’m with. I said I’m not interested and ended the call. I probably get about five calls a day from places like this. There’s gotta be something that can be done to stop all these annoying calls.

They kept ringing me non-stop today. I was expecting a really important call, so I couldn’t just ignore it. So frustrating - they were so pushy and totally invading my privacy. What can we possibly do to make it stop? Honestly, now I don't even bother using my landline for personal stuff anymore. I usually look up the number and then ring back on my mobile instead. Feels like I’m wasting money paying for a landline that’s just full of annoying calls. Someone please sort this out!!

Thankfully I wasn’t in when those three calls from Cheltenham kept coming through. You’d think the folks in charge would do something about these calls by now. Didn’t they pass some laws to punish these companies? I was under the impression that some rules had been introduced to help stop these annoying calls that cause so much upset to those on the receiving end.

Got a random call from 01242 343001 the other day. Some guy called Matthew was on the line, said he was from Green Star Energy trying to sell me gas and electric plans. He promised some really good deals that could slash my bills quite a bit. Said he'd send me some info in writing, so I'm just waiting to see what turns up.

This number 01242343001 rang me twice while I was out and I didn’t pick up. On the third ring, I finally answered and got some automated voice saying something about a query and asking me to call back. Yeah, I’m not bothering with that.

I reckon someone might be harrasing me, I've had loads of calls where no one's actually there. Imagine if someone was at your front door being all aggressive like that, you'd defo ring the cops right? But what can you even do about all these phone calls? It's proper annoying.

these scammers kept ringing me 3 or 4 times this morning before i left at 10.40. the calls started about 09.15. when i got back at about 2.40 pm, as soon as i stepped inside the phone went off again at 2.46 pm, same number. i screen all my calls now cos of all the annoying and harrassing calls i get. blocking on my mobile is easy, but landline is harder. i checked my handset for call logs after the 2.46 call - no calls before i left at 2.40 pm, and they didn’t bother my mobile while i was out. it feels like purposeful harassment, and i’m planning to take action.

This number has rung me like seven times already today, but whenever I pick up, there’s nobody there. Is there any way to stop these calls? We’ve got a BT line that lets us block numbers, but it only lets you block ten, which isn’t enough for all these nuisance calls. It’s really annoying!

Got a call from this number earlier, picked up right away and then the person on the other end just ended the call straight away.

There seems to have been a mistake in my last message. We returned to our house precisely at 2:43 pm, and strangely enough, the same number rang us just three minutes later, at 2:46 pm! Quite the coincidence, wouldn’t you say?

Honestly, some people should just get off this planet!
