Somebody called claiming to be from Carponewarehouse about some special deal. When I asked who they were, they got all angry and said, "Are you joking? We’ve got a promo going on!" I told them if they're contacting me, they should know my name, then they just cut the call. Pretty certain it was one of those scam calls.

This 01256 244192 number keeps ringing me nonstop. They push you to keep talking but I just end the call straight away and tell them to take me off their list cause I ain’t interested. Still, they keep calling every single day! So annoying.

It’s really annoying, I pick up the phone and there’s nobody there, then it just cuts off after a beep. This happened to me three times just yesterday.

Tried calling 01256 244192 but no luck getting through.

Got a call saying if I didn’t give up my national insurance number, I’d get arrested and charged! Honestly, these scammers really need to step up their game, it’s like they don’t even try. I’m getting these annoying calls twice a day and even though I block the number, they just ring from different endings with the same robotic message. Proper fed up with it all now.

They keep telling me it’s some kind of advantage, but honestly, getting on my nerves every single day is just annoying.

Got calls all the time from some company named "Advantage" doing marketing surveys. When I say I’m over 90, they just say I don’t "qualify" and then slam the phone down. It’s actually a bit of fun for me now, since they ring every single day!

This call didn’t seem legit at all.

Every day without fail they ring me, and I'm fed up with having to block them constantly. They say their name is Advantage and somehow they already know my name. When I say I’m not interested or just say no, they just keep rephrasing the same question. Come on, get the message - I’m definitely not interested.

Didn’t get a voicemail or anything, found this site and straight away blocked the number.

I've been getting calls from UK Beneficial all day long, they ring over and over. It's honestly getting to the point where it's just harassment. Seriously hope someone puts an end to this.

I got a couple of calls from this number earlier. The first one was a bloke saying he was with Advantage. I told him I wasn’t interested and asked him to stop calling me. He said something like he understood, but I cut him off and hung up before he could say more.

It’s been driving me nuts with these annoying calls, like 3 times daily. I keep blocking the numbers but they just switch to new ones each time. I did one survey ages ago, and guess this is my punishment for that. Doesn’t matter if you’re polite or rude, they just keep ringing. Actually, just got another one from 07341890747 while I was typing this out!

Advantage, linked to beneficial and part of gbs business solutions, keep ringing me from loads of different numbers asking to do customer surveys. I’ve taken over this number after my partner died earlier this year. I’ve told them several times about what’s happened and asked them to stop calling and take my number off their list. Some people say sorry and promise to sort it, but nothing ever changes, and others just hang up when I explain. Honestly, I’d say just avoid any contact with them altogether.

Seems like a total scammy-wam or some dodgy barmy scam to me.

Got a call from a company named ‘Advantage’ and the person already had my name, which was a bit creepy. I didn’t pick up and decided to block the number straight away.

Got calls from the same unknown number twice in less than half an hour today. I usually don't pick up if I don’t recognise the number. Tried blocking it, but just like loads of other scam calls, they ring from a diff number next time. I’ve even answered once before and they promised they wouldn’t call again, but obviously they don’t communicate internally or bother to take your details off their list. Even when you say no, you still get hassled by whoever’s backing them. How is this kind of constant pestering even allowed?
5 years
I never pick up calls from numbers I don’t recognise, but I do wonder who might be on the other end. Since they never bother to leave a voicemail, I guess it’s nothing worth my time anyway.

I didn’t answer but apparently they claimed to be calling from Beneficial.

I've been getting nonstop calls from beneficial - like, 13 times in just over a week. It's really starting to annoy me, and whenever I ask them to stop and take me off their call list, they just don't listen.

I rang them but didn’t get a message left so decided to block the number after seeing what others said.

Got a call earlier from someone saying they were from Beneficial, but it was just one of those survey things. Pretty annoying.

Got a call from Advantage who just wanted to ask some basic questions about my home. I had to tell them three times to take my name off their list before the person finally said thank you and ended the call.

I picked up but there was nothing but silence on the line. Seeing what others are saying, it seems like these calls aren’t harmless. Honestly, I’ve lost track of the different numbers they’ve used - I’ve had to block loads already.

Sounds like another layer of the scam pyramid. I’m already plotting how to turn the tables on them!

Every time they ring, the caller says they're from Advantage. I keep saying I’m not interested and block the number, but then they just call me from a new one. It’s so annoying.

Received a call that purported to be from Beneficial, requesting I partake in a survey. The chap was quite courteous, but I had to cut him off to inquire how he had obtained my number (he seemed to know my postcode too!). Quite abruptly, he ended the call. This certainly raises flags about the validity of such a "genuine" call.

Just keeps cutting off the call every time I answer.

I just hang up as soon as I pick up the call.

I've received two calls from this number, but every time I attempt to return the call, it doesn’t connect. The number doesn’t ring a bell with me or anyone else I know from Basingstoke. I can’t help but think it’s a dodgy cold call or possibly a scam. Just in the last day, I’ve had a couple of other calls from some people claiming to be from ‘GME’, promising refunds of over £14,000 and trying to persuade me to go online so they could guide me through the process of transferring that cash straight into my bank account. It feels like all four calls could be interconnected and part of the same shady scheme.

I can hear voices buzzing away in the background, yet not a soul actually says anything. Then, out of the blue, they hang up. Quite peculiar!

There's this marketing firm in the UK that goes by the name "Advantage". They ring me up without fail at the same hour each day, always from different numbers since I keep blocking them. Just yesterday, I told them firmly that their calls need to cease. Their response? They claimed they'd only stop if I engaged with their questions. Today, guess what? They tried again with this number. I repeated my request to stop, and the caller apologised, only to launch into, "Right, for my first question..." At that point, I just cut the call! Ridiculous!

I really wish you’d stop contacting me! It’s quite inconsiderate to ring someone just to hang up! Surely there are more respectful ways to make a living? Do you not appreciate your own time? Once it’s gone, you can never reclaim it! So, for the sake of both our sanity, please consider your own time and refrain from disturbing me! I have no interest in things like insurance, life cover, utility deals, or surveys! Cheers!
