Automatic phone call trying to reach Joanne

This number has been calling my landline daily lately. I usually ignore it but tried blocking it now, yet it still rings through. I even pay extra to avoid these calls, but somehow they manage to get past the blocking system. It’s really annoying and feels like harassment.

This number keeps ringing me non stop. Even tho I blocked it, they still leave voicemails. I don’t owe anything, so no way am I picking up. It’s Capquest, right? They buy debts for next to nothing and then hound folks for heaps more. Absolute rubbish behaviour.

I’ve blocked this number but it doesn’t stop them from leaving voicemails over and over. It’s really annoying and feels like harassment now.

They keep ringing and leaving messages even after I’ve blocked them. It’s at all hours and honestly, it’s making me really stressed out.

Got a call from Capquest the other day, those debt collectors ringing me up.

Don’t trust them, they won’t tell you who they are and are just after your personal info. Definitely a scam.

No voicemail left. Looks like a potential scam to me.

This number rang me up around 8.20am today, I picked up but there was just silence on the other end.

Think this might be a scam. Got loads of calls from 01252 but they never leave a voicemail.

They keep ringing, but I just don’t pick up.

Keeps calling at daft hours, like 6 in the morning one day and then half past 10 at night another time.

They’ve called me like 3 times in just a minute, I keep just hanging up on them.

This number rang me earlier too. It was a recorded voice that didn’t make much sense.

When I pick up the phone, there's silence on the other end. It makes me uneasy, especially since I’m on my own.

Capquest is a right pain!

Got a robo call asking for some Debbie someone, definitely not me, and told to press one. I just hung up and looked up the number straight away, which is why I’m sharing my thoughts here.

Annoying as hell

Just got a call from 'Capquest' again, and like always, even though I’m an authorised contact (they ring about a debt that might be really old), they keep asking for my missus about some ‘personal matter’. I’ve stopped trying to explain they can talk to me instead. After almost a year, we finally reached out to a debt charity about a month ago (I think it was ‘Red Square’?), who’re supposed to handle things with these lot now. Yet, we’re still getting these mysterious calls. If they’re legit, it’s odd they don’t seem to care about how dodgy they look online.

Yeah, they claimed to be capquest and said they’d sent letters to me but I never got any and don’t plan on replying anyway.

Yeah, Capquest is really starting to annoy me, they say they're a debt collection firm but these guys definitely aren’t. Don’t bother picking up. They claim to have sent letters or whatever, but they don’t even know my complete name.

Had a few phone calls and even got an email saying they’ve sent me letters. No idea where they are though, haven’t received anything. They call me by my first name on the phone but never the full name. I don’t owe anyone a penny. Cap Quest can just forget it. If they want to speak to me, they can come to my house - but no chance, the same goes for sending letters. If I picked up, they wouldn’t be happy. Best thing is to just ignore them altogether.

This number 01252765512 keeps ringin me, askin for me but never says who they are. I looked it up and it says Cap Quest or summat, but no clue what they want. I dont owe anyone anything. They tried to get my personal info but I wouldnt give it. Told them to send me a letter, still not heard back yet.

I get calls from them almost five times every week.

They've rung me like 5 times over the past month but never bother to leave a voicemail. I’ll be blocking the number now that I realise it's Capquest. I've had issues with them before, trying to chase some supposed debt from two decades ago! Ended up getting the Financial Services Ombudsman involved just to make them stop harassing me.

They wanted me to answer some security questions first before talking about a private issue about me, I just told em to send it in a letter instead!!

If you get a call from a number you don’t know, my advice is: don’t say a word at first, just listen. Let them talk first before you decide if you want to hang up. Usually, if it’s an automated message, it’s a scammer or a machine ringing loads of numbers to check if the line is active. Once they know it’s a real person, they’ll probably pass the number over to a live agent to call back. Never, ever hand over any personal details. If they claim it’s urgent, tell them to send a letter instead - but don’t give your address. They’ll likely try to trick you into confirming stuff, asking things like, “Is this Mr or Mrs so-and-so?” or “Do you live at this address?” Keep your lips sealed. It’s fine to ask who they are and why they’re ringing, don't worry about sounding rude - just drop the call if you need to, no need for a polite goodbye. If you fancy it, waste their time! One mate of mine pretends to be scatterbrained or forgetful - he’ll say odd things like “My neighbour’s off to the moon soon, so I have to sort his sandwiches,” or “My nurse will be here any minute, I’ll put her on.” Then he leaves the handset off the hook. This sort of thing really annoys them because it shows they won’t scam you and often they never call again. These pests rely on blitzing as many calls as possible, so the more you waste their time, the better for everyone. Trust me, it really winds them up! It helps to jot down unfamiliar numbers, paying attention to the area code - like “01252” is Aldershot, for example. Scammers tend to switch phone numbers but stick to similar area codes most of the time. If they ever say they’re from your bank, don’t give out info. Use a friend or neighbour’s phone to contact your bank yourself, never dial numbers they give you. Best is to go directly into your branch and speak to someone face-to-face. Hope this is useful. - caller: CapQuest

This number 01252765512 rings me daily, and some days they call more than once. It’s pretty annoying.

Got a call from some Scottish guy looking for a mate. Definitely not me, even tho it's my number. Said he'd get it deleted or somethin. We'll wait and see.

Got a call on my mobile from a Scottish lady trying to find a Karen, or someone with a similar name. When I told her she’d dialled the wrong number, she said they’d remove my number from their list.

Got a call earlier, they wanted to talk to my wife. I said she wasn’t here. Then they asked when she might be free. I said I’m her husband and asked who they were, what they wanted and why they were calling. The person said they couldn’t share anything with me since I wasn’t authorised. So I told them to send any questions in writing because my wife passed away 11 months ago. After that, their attitude shifted and they apologised.

Got a call from some debt collector asking for my son, but they wouldn’t say who they were on the phone. Had to look up their number myself. How do they expect me to give a message when they keep saying it’s private? It’s so frustrating! Even worse, my son has already paid off everything, he doesn’t owe them a penny. Absolute joke.

This number ain't saved by anyone yet it still keeps ringing my phone, how's that even possible?

Yeah, these dodgy callers keep ringing - they dont even bother with your replies - ask all sorts of nosy stuff and then get all grumpy when you tell them to jog on!!

Got a call and picked up, then some robotic voice goes "private call for (my name said all wrong). Press 1 if you’re there". Didn’t press anything cause who even is that? Lucky I didn’t cos I’ve no business with Capquest! Plus, it was just when the kids were about to eat!

Cap Quest got the right name but when I didn’t want to answer their security question and asked what the call was about, the person wouldn’t tell me. They said they’d be sending a letter too.

Total nuisance, honestly.

This number keeps ringing me up looking for someone I’ve no clue about at all ???????????????????????? Blocked it straight away!

Got a voicemail from an automated system asking for some guy called 'Paul Groves' - doesn’t sound like me at all.

They keep ringing me and I've already said I'm not who they're after, plus they call late at night which I thought was against the law!

I picked up and there was no one on the other end.

For ages I've been getting calls from this firm looking for a person who’s not even here. I told them months back to stop calling and to remove my number, but they just keep ringing anyway.

i keep gettin calls from this number, they're always askin bout the old people who lived here before me! somethin to do with a debt company called cap quest or summat.

I keep blocking this number but it somehow manages to get past and leaves an automated voice every single day.

I keep getting calls from this number, sometimes even a few times daily. Luckily, my phone has call blocking so they don't actually ring through, but I'm curious to find out who they are and what they want.

Got a call from Capquest the other day, they were asking to verify info for someone with my last name but who isn’t actually at this address. Bit odd, since I don’t know the person at all.

When i picked up the phone, there was complete silence from the other end.

I just had a call from this number at 9 in the evening. It’s Capquest trying to reach out. Do established businesses really make calls at such late hours?

This number keeps buzzing me roughly four times daily, always dropping a voicemail asking me to ring them back.

Get calls every single day but can’t hear any message since my phone just blocks them automatically.

I get calls pretty much every day, but my phone just blocks them. No clue who’s ringing me!

Annoying caller, best to just ignore the number.

Capquest - total rip off artists!

Got loads of calls from this number and others beginning with 01252765xxx, always trying to get my personal info. I ended up putting them on a call block app to stop the annoying ringing.

Someone keeps ringing but I have no idea who they are.

I got a call where they wanted to confirm some personal info but wouldn’t say why first. I didn’t give anything and they just said they'd send something in writing instead.

I've been getting nonstop calls from this strange number, really annoying!
