I keep getting calls from 01242343001 on my landline, and I can't quite fathom why. It's rather peculiar, especially since they keep coming in around 1 AM. The most recent one was logged as yesterday. Quite baffling, really!

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.

I've received a message from this number stating they're planning to change my gas supplier. Honestly, I have no intention of doing so, as I suspect it might be a scam. I've heard that others have been inundated with calls from this same number. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

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.

I’ve been unwell and confined to my bed, yet this number keeps ringing incessantly. It feels quite oppressive, honestly. Whenever I've mustered the strength to answer and kindly request they cease contacting me, they abruptly end the call. It's incredibly frustrating!

If you’ve been receiving calls regarding a potential reduction on your utility bills in Cheltenham, here’s a little heads-up. It seems like if you’ve filled out an online form inquiring about saving upwards of £379 on your gas and electricity, the folks reaching out are from a company called UTILITY DISCOUNT. Their contact number is 0800 0821210. If you’d rather not hear from them anymore, don’t hesitate to ring them up yourself and request that your number is removed from their call roster. Just thought this might be useful for you!

This annoying nuisance has rung me four times this morning already! I picked up the first two calls since my partner was catching up on sleep after their night shift, but there was nothing but silence on the other end. I just hung up on the last two before they even had a chance to connect.

My phone's set up in such a way that it only lets calls come through if they're saved in my contacts. So, I reckon all these calls at 2.52 pm, 2.31 pm, 2.11 pm, 1.50 pm, 1.40 pm, and 1.29 pm are likely just automated. Quite annoying, really!

I gave my phone number to some ad about cutting down electricity bills and now they keep blowing up my phone all the time, had no choice but to block their calls and messages.

Never deal with folks who keep bothering you with calls all the time, its annoying.

They’ve rung me like 10 times in just 30 mins! I started to get a bit anxious, thinking it might be something important, so I tried calling back but no answer. Really kicking myself for giving out my number on that energy company ad! Just blocked the number, fingers crossed it doesn’t happen again.

This number keeps bothering me all day, from morning till evening. When I answer, there's no one on the line, and if I try calling back, there’s no ring at all. Such a pain!

At this very moment (2:30pm), my phone has been bombarded with seven calls this morning alone. I've chosen to ignore each one. It's incredibly frustrating and feels like such a pointless drain on my time.

I'm bombarded with about ten calls daily from this number too. It's utterly ridiculous! Can't someone put an end to these nuisances?

Previously, I submitted a grievance regarding this number. I've since muted my home phone, so now I have to periodically check 1471 to see if I've missed anything. It’s certainly less annoying than dealing with incessant ringing every few hours, but it’s frustrating that I've been pushed to this point. - Anonymous, Surrey 28th March 2017

I'm absolutely fed up with the incessant calls from this number - I’ve been receiving as many as ten a day for weeks on end. It’s becoming rather tiresome, to be honest. I've resorted to switching my phone off altogether, but that only means I’m missing out on important calls from friends and family. I’ve attempted to block the number, yet that hasn’t yielded any success. Is there really nothing the police can do to help resolve this situation?

I've been receiving calls from this number both on my mobile and home phone. I've set up an automated response for both lines indicating that I'm deaf and can only be reached via text or email. Despite this, they persist in calling me multiple times each day. It’s quite frustrating!

This number belongs to some Utility discount folks. I've received 7 calls from them so far. How many times do I need to ask them to quit making me look foolish?

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.

I've been pestered by this number all day long! I was on edge, anticipating a vital private call, so I had to pick up. It's incredibly frustrating; their behaviour is downright disrespectful and intrusive. How can one put an end to such harassment? I've stopped using my landline for any personal matters altogether. Now I just look up the number and ring back on my mobile. It’s a shame I’m shelling out for a landline that’s utterly useless due to these annoying calls. Any advice on how to tackle this issue?

Fortunately, I wasn’t in when those three calls from Cheltenham came in. One must wonder if our authorities can really do anything to put an end to this bother. What’s become of that legislation aimed at holding these companies accountable? I could have sworn they had introduced some rules to help curb these irritating calls, which can really upset those on the receiving end.

I just had an unexpected phone call from 01242 343001, where a chap named Matthew was on the other end, claiming to work for Green Star Energy. He was touting their gas and electricity services, insisting he could help slash my energy bills considerably. He provided some rather tempting rates, but I’ve asked for more information in writing before I get too excited. So, that’s the situation with Matthew from Green Star Energy!

I had a couple of missed calls from the number 01242343001 earlier while I was out and about. When they rang for the third time, I picked up only to be greeted by a recorded voice that said, "We've tried to reach you today about an inquiry. Kindly return our call." Naturally, I opted not to get back in touch.

I feel as though I'm being bombarded with unwanted calls; it's all rather bothersome. I've had numerous instances where I've picked up, only to find complete silence on the other end.

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.

I’m in the same boat - incessant ringing, clearly aimed at annoying me. Had about three or four calls before I stepped out this morning. Not a peep while I was away (I made sure to check the logs). But lo and behold, the moment I set foot back in my home at 2.40 pm, the calls resumed. I'm definitely reaching out to the proper authorities regarding this nuisance.

This morning, I received a total of seven calls from this number, yet every time I picked up, there was absolutely no one on the line. It’s beyond frustrating! Is there any way to address these irritating nuisance calls? I’d really appreciate some assistance with this.

This number persistently rings me without anyone on the line, and I can’t hear a single sound in the background. Quite strange, really!

This number rang me seven times this morning, yet every time I picked up, no one was on the line. It's incredibly frustrating! Is there truly nothing that can be done to put an end to these incessant calls? We've got a BT phone that lets us block numbers, but it only allows for a mere ten! It's such a headache trying to manage all this.

I received a call from this number today. As soon as I picked up, the person on the other end just disconnected without saying a word. Quite strange, isn't it?

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!
