This is clearly a scam call. When my answering machine picks up, they just hang up straight away. I reckon everyone should have an answerphone because real people usually leave a message. At the end of the day, it’s really down to the phone companies to sort this out.

Just had another ring from 01268859680. The person asked if we have a driveway! I ended the call straight away since I don’t trust buying stuff on the phone. We’re on the Telephone Preference Service list, so really don’t get why calls like this are coming from a UK number.

Today, I received a call from a gentleman named John, who identified himself as being affiliated with Domestic Repair. He mentioned that there had been a revision to my payment, indicating that I'd be shelling out a lesser amount. However, when I probed for further clarification-having no clue what he was on about-he became rather irate and abruptly disconnected the call.

I received a rather unsolicited call from a chap claiming to be John, representing some sort of driveway business. He inquired whether I possessed a driveway. Such bothersome cold calls really grate on my nerves! For the record, I don’t even have a driveway at all.

I got a call from 01268859680 saying they were from the Driveway Centre. They kept cutting me off when I asked questions and kept pushing if I still got a driveway. They said they’d be nearby soon with some good resin driveway deals. When I asked why they were calling me since I'm on the Telephone Preference Service, they just ended the call. Proper annoying!

I’ve had calls from some bloke called John, who says he’s with a "driveway company." Seems like he’s got loads of offices all over the place cos he’s rung me from so many different numbers, I can’t keep track. Thankfully my call blocker stopped it - definitely felt like a scam.

I get real wary when someone rings and then stays quiet or just hangs up without leaving anything. It’s so frustrating that the cops and phone companies aren’t doing enough to track these calls down and stop the scammers for good.

It’s yet another one of those pesky automated marketing calls. At first glance, it might seem like you’re having a chat with an actual human, but lo and behold, it’s just a pre-recorded message that mimics conversation by reacting to what you say. It’s quite uncanny how it can process your response, yet somehow it either repeats the same question as if it hasn’t quite grasped your answer, or hastily skips ahead in its programmed spiel. Fascinating technology, no doubt, but it’s becoming increasingly tiresome now.
