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 was trying to get in touch with someone who handles on-site training because I heard about funding for construction training via CITB. Wanted to speak to the training coordinator directly.

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 got a call from this number and when I rang back, the voicemail mentioned something about construction skills. I’ve dealt with them before for staff training, but this particular number doesn’t ring a bell at all.

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.

Got a call from someone claiming to be BT saying my internet speed was slower than it should be. I told them to jog on because I’m with Virgin, not BT, and I don’t have any links with them. Seemed like a dodgy attempt to get my details, so I just ended the call.

This number kept calling me but would hang up after just a few rings. When I finally called back as a business, all I got was a really unclear voicemail saying they’d call me back. This happened over and over again. Not very reliable at all.

They wanted to talk to the onsite training team but wouldn’t accept the email address I provided, saying they only talk to people face to face. When I explained that we usually do introductions via email, they just cut me off and hung up before I could finish.

This person started off chatting about some government funding available for training in my field, but they couldn’t really give me clear answers when I asked specific stuff. Then they told me I had to have a quick 5min chat with a different company, but that lot were just as vague and ended the call abruptly, never phoning me back. Total con artists if you ask me!!!

They've rung me a couple of times since I posted before, but no actual messages left. I'm just gonna block the number now!

They've rung me a few times over the last week but never bothered to leave a voicemail.
