4 yearsI can't stand this irritating telemarketer; they really get on my nerves!4 yearsI encountered this woman who inquired about my personal information. She was touting a complimentary holiday but insisted I pay a deposit upfront. She assured me that the money would be returned once I redeem my holiday voucher. Allegedly, it’s all linked to CLC.CLC4 yearsIt hung up as soon as I answered the call.4 yearsNo clue at all really.7 yearsTotal scam. Saying I’ve won some holiday prize and asking for all my info. I hung up but then got another call from a different number with the same story.7 yearsThey keep calling saying I’ve won a prize, told them to leave me alone.7 yearsGot a call from clc world saying I’d won a holiday but had to go to some presentation in Cheltenham to get the voucher. They said overnight stay was covered. I ended the call right before they tried to put me through to accounts asking for a deposit!CLC WorldCheltenham7 yearsjust keep blocking them, they’re calling from new numbers all the time, so keep on blocking each one as they pop up.7 yearsJust like loads of others, I got calls from some clc number telling me I’d won 5000 holidays or summat. They said keep on the line and they’d transfer me to accounts for a deposit, then said I’d need to visit their office to pick it up. Bit dodgy if you ask me, best to avoid it.7 years01242 021824 rang me earlier. Normally I don’t pick up if I dont recognise the number. If it's legit they always leave a message anyway.7 yearsGot a call again today, second time this week, saying I’d won a holiday. They wanted me to confirm my name, then told me the trip was free but I’d have to put down a deposit first, which they’d supposedly give back when I picked up the holiday voucher from their office in Cheltenham. Total dodgy deal, I told them to bog off and ended the call. Be watchful with these sorts of calls.Cheltenham7 yearsKeep putting this Cheltenham number on block, they keep ringing me but with tiny changes to the digits. All calls seem to be from around Cheltenham. After reading other reviews, I’m a bit worried since I never signed up for any contests, so I’ve got no clue how they got my phone number.Cheltenham7 yearsThis number called me today and I also got a call last night from 01242 790001. I didn’t pick up either time since I don’t know anyone in Cheltenham and figured it was probably some kind of annoying sales pitch or a scam. Cheers to everyone who commented below - I’ve learnt it’s a timeshare firm, so I won’t be bothering to answer if they ring again!Cheltenham7 yearsGot four calls in under a week from Cheltenham codes, all got blocked straight away. Proper annoying!Cheltenham7 yearsGot tricked by someone at The Ideal Home show, sadly. They keep calling me non stop on my landline and mobile from different Cheltenham numbers. I've had to block them all now.Ideal HomeCheltenham7 yearsGot a second call within just a couple days. I didn’t pick up, but looked up the number and reckon it’s CLC - I’m pretty sure they got my digits from someone at the Ideal Home Show. My tip? Be careful who you share your phone number wit!CLC7 yearsThis is the tenth call I've had in about as many days, and even tho they keep switching up the numbers, I'm blocking every one of them since I don’t know anyone in Cheltenham.Cheltenham7 yearsOh no, not those annoying Thrush callers again (bloody 555 numbers!).7 yearsComplete con competition nonsense, steer clear of it.7 yearsI joined some competition with CLC about a year back. Don’t really know what the caller was on about, I was driving so didn’t really pay attention. She said she’d ring back later, but I just blocked the number. They tried ringing me again yesterday, but I blocked that one too.CLC8 yearsI’ve been getting loads of calls from different Cheltenham numbers lately. Normally I would just block them, but I picked up this time. Some guy said I’d won a holiday in a competition through freestuff[###] back in January and that he was calling from the Costa Del Sol! Didn’t seem to understand why my phone showed the call was from Cheltenham. He asked to verify some details but got everything wrong! Told him politely to jog on and maybe find a proper job! Also had calls from these numbers: 01242 790001, 01242 790370, 01242 790213, 01242 790130, 01242 790080.CheltenhamCosta Del Sol8 yearsJust got a call like that - a lady on the line asking for personal info about me - something about a CLC holiday competition - I didn’t share anything - hung up and blocked the number straight away - caller said Cheltenham.Cheltenham8 yearsits a pretty common trick. i got a call saying i was selected to go to some event for a day, and then id be entered into a draw to win one of four holidays. it wasnt exactly a scam but really just a sneaky way for them to push time shares by making you believe you had a chance of winning a holiday.8 yearsThey just said hello a few times then hung up. From what I could hear, it sounds like a call centre. I've blocked the number now.8 yearsI keep getting calls from this number at the exact same time every day, so I just blocked it now. No idea who they are or what they want. Seems like my number has been sold or shared for some reason. The caller ID shows a location that has nothing to do with me. So yeah, blocked. That’s it. Bye.8 yearsGot a call from some timeshare firm called cle world. It all started when I was waiting at the boarding gate coming back from Spain a few weeks back, and some travel rep kept asking me loads of questions. I only realised afterwards that I’d accidentally signed up for some competition they never actually mentioned up front. Not sure it’s dodgy, just really annoying. I just told them flat out I wasn’t interested and asked to be taken off their list. Since then, no calls at all.Spain8 yearsgot a call from some random number, sounded like one of those cold calls to me.8 yearsthere was no one there, just dead silence on the other end8 yearsAnother annoying call, how irritating!8 yearsGot the same message as before, gonna stop picking up from now on.8 yearsGot a call from this number but didn’t answer since i didn’t know who it was. After looking it up, i’m pretty relieved i left it!8 yearsLike others have said, they told me I’d won some competition and needed to verify my info. Not really sure if it’s connected to me getting back from holiday and completing a survey for the travel firm, or if it’s just a random thing.8 yearsgot a call from clc sayin i’d won some sort of prize, seemed fishy to me,CLC8 yearsGot a call saying I’d signed up for some contest on ukprizecompetition[###] to win a holiday, and they wanted to check I’d entered properly. Then they started asking loads of personal stuff like if I was married and if I owned a home, which I refused to share. Turns out it was from clc world resorts, a timeshare promo company. I told them firmly to delete all my info and to stop contacting me.CLC World Resorts8 yearssome guy rang me from cic sayin i won a contest online on june 11th. i was like, nah, that cant be right, i dont remember entering anything. they then asked if i was married and i just stopped them right there. felt really fishy.CIC8 yearsGot a call from some time share company (clc world) saying they were just verifying info and wished me luck about supposedly entering a competition with heart radio and classic fm - which i never did. They also asked loads of personal stuff like marital status, kids and how much i earn. I’ve already reported it.CLC WorldHeart RadioClassic FM8 yearsGot a call from a woman claiming she needed to verify my info because I supposedly signed up for a holiday contest. Thing is, I never entered any competition. When I told her that, she said she’d take my name off the list. Bit odd since I never signed up at all.Submit Your Own Report (01242 790080)
