I just blocked a random number that kept ringing - turned out to be one of those PPI scammers, I think. Didn’t bother answering after the first time.

I’m on the TPS list, but they still rang me about PPI! Had to block the number straight away.

It’s not just some PPI scam, it’s actually a secret ISIS recruitment scheme. They trick you with fake refunds, then next thing you know you’re sneaking across the Turkish border doing all kinds of mad stuff. If you wanna avoid it, just pick up the phone and tell them seriously, "Strip off and boogie down."

Got a call from some Muslim group in Nigeria, said they needed my card info to set up a brothel in New Delhi. Honestly, feel sorry for anyone who falls for that. What a mess, God save us all.

Even though I'm registered with the Telephone Preference Service, I've been getting calls from a PPI firm. The caller was quite insistent and rather rude too. I've gone ahead and blocked the number now.

Got a call just before midday today from a number I didn’t know. Picked up but kept quiet, just listened. The bloke on the other end sounded Indian, but I had no clue who he was or what company he was representing. Didn’t feel like chatting, so I ended the call. If it were something serious, they’d surely drop a text, right? Still nothing. Bit of a dodgy scam, I reckon.

I’ve had it up to here with this number blowin’ up my phone. I’m gonna lose it and probably tell them off proper if they ring again!

Why do loads of you assume that just 'cos they were speaking with an Indian accent, they can't actually be calling from Chippenham? Unless there's some weird segregation thing happening in that area, which I doubt...

Had a couple of calls from this odd number. Normally, I ignore callers I don't recognise but decided to pick up this time. They mentioned Chippenham, but the voice sounded like it was from India for sure. I ended up hanging up straight away.

Been getting loads of PPI calls lately, really annoying how they keep ringing even after telling them to stop.

Got a call on my phone about some PPI stuff, never asked for it or anything. Totally unsolicited!

Oddly enough, the number shows Chippenham UK, but the voices definitely weren’t from around that area. The accents didn’t sound West Country at all. They rang me twice about PPI claims.

I've already had this number ring me three times, all telemarketing. It’s super irritating.
