I’m getting bombarded by this number repeatedly! The last time they called, they kept going on about CITB training. At first, I didn’t have a moment to chat, but now they just won't take a hint. It’s maddening, to say the least! I've checked with CITB directly, and they've assured me that this lot isn't affiliated with them. To top it off, you can't even ring them back since they don't allow incoming calls. Quite the nuisance, if you ask me!

Dont fall for the whole “construction skills” bit, it’s just another scam trying to get your info.

A nice woman rang up about some training grants supported by the government. She said she needed to chat with someone about it but refused to send her contact info by email. Then the call just got cut off.

I'm looking to discuss funding opportunities for training within the construction sector, specifically via CITB. I'd like to have a chat with the training coordinator who's overseeing on-site training.

They kept ringing me from March through April. I tried to leave a voicemail but it was pointless because they hung up as soon as the beep started. Not really bothered to call back either.

01246488953 - I’m the one who posted before. This number’s been ringing loads of different people since early March, and we’re already halfway through April. Nope, no way I’m picking up - straight to voicemail!

Got a call from 01246488953 just before 10 this morning. We usually avoid picking up between 9 and 10 because it’s often scammers. They do record calls though, and I reckon it might be from a tiny call centre since you can hear some voices chatting softly in the backgrond.

I got a call from some lot claiming to offer training money for construction skills. They were really pushy and rude, just wouldn’t stop ringing. I told them straight up they weren’t any help, and they promised to remove me from their list. But guess what? They called me again the very next week! Proper unprofessional behaviour.

They rang me during my lunch break but obviously didn’t think it was worth leaving a message.

I got a call from 01246 488 953 early Monday morning around 8:30. I thought it was a construction firm ringing me, but when I answered, all I could hear was this annoying high-pitched sound. No one actually spoke. Quite irritating!

They've been ringing me non-stop and just making weird sounds. Honestly, feels like a load of rubbish.

I've received three calls today already, and I can clearly discern a call centre's chatter in the backdrop. Each time, the call just drops. Absolute muppets!

I returned the call and got a voicemail stating they represent the construction skills organisation. I've previously utilised their services for staff training, yet this particular number doesn’t ring any bells for me.

This number has been ringing me non-stop today. The caller says he's a doctor checking in about some appointment supposedly set up by me. But I've never booked anything with any doctor. He tried to get me to verify my address, but I said no way. Feels a bit dodgy to me.

Received a call from someone claiming to be from BT, stating that my internet speed isn't up to scratch. The thing is, I'm with Virgin and have no connection to BT whatsoever. I ended the conversation pretty quickly since it was obvious they were just trying to gather my personal details.

This number incessantly rings, only to go silent after a brief moment. As a company, whenever we make the call, all we encounter is a muffled voicemail stating they will get back to us. This occurrence seems to be a persistent annoyance. Quite frustrating, to say the least.

I tried reaching out to connect with our training team on site, but they weren’t having any of it. They flat-out rejected the email I provided, insisting on a face-to-face chat instead since they apparently don’t conduct business via email. To top it off, they cut the call short while I was explaining that we’d rather handle these introductions over email. Quite frustrating, to say the least!

Had a conversation regarding government grants aimed at bolstering training in my sector, yet they couldn't provide clear answers to my particular queries. After that, I was informed that I’d need to have a brief chat with another firm. Sadly, they too were evasive with their responses, and in the end, they abruptly disconnected the call without any follow-up. Absolute charlatans!!!

I've received several calls from this number since my previous comment, but there haven't been any voicemails left. I'm going to go ahead and block it now!

I’ve had a couple of calls this week from this number, but they haven’t bothered to leave a message. Strange, isn’t it?
