Just don’t pick up - it’s a scam!

Not long after I received a quote from Gocompare, I got a call from an unknown number. The moment I answered, the line went dead. I tried to give the number 01274 838272 a bell to have my details removed from their database, but it just kept engaged. Very frustrating!

We receive calls from 01422249611 every single morning, and the moment I answer, the line goes silent. So, we decided to call the number back, and after doing so, we were advised to get in touch with 01274838272. We’ve followed through with that, and they assured us we'll be removed from the directory within the next twelve hours. Fingers crossed it works!

Barely had I submitted my go compare house insurance application when I was bombarded with a call from these jokers. Strangely enough, there seems to be no option to indicate a preference for not receiving endless calls, which, honestly, doesn't do their sales pitch any favours. We're gearing up to ring 01274 838 272 and hopefully get ourselves removed from their database. If that doesn’t pan out, we won’t hesitate to lodge a complaint with Ofcom and the Information Commissioner’s Office.

They’ve been ringing us for a fortnight without fail, and every time we attempt to return the call, we get nothing but a busy line! Just the other day, I finished up an online insurance quote over on comparethemarket.com.

Got a call from Swinton Insurance the other day, saying they wanted to offer my wife quotes for next year’s policy, even though it doesn’t expire until September. I told them to just send the quotes through email or post instead. Bit early if you ask me!

I've been getting calls from 01274838272 incessantly. They claim to be from Swinton and insisted on chatting with my wife. When I offered to take the call myself, they abruptly replied, "No thanks, we'll just call her back." I was curious about what they were after since we're already covered by another provider, but they brushed me off, saying they'd rather speak to my wife, then hung up. Absolutely infuriating! What a bunch of rude individuals.

I've been inundated with calls from this number ever since I took out insurance with Swinton. A representative mentioned that if you ever use Go Compare or Confused.com, or simply input your number, you could end up inundated. I haven’t tried it myself, but it appears that some unfortunate soul is destined to receive those calls. It really feels like it’s just a means to pass the pain onto an unsuspecting individual, which is rather disheartening.

We've found ourselves in the same predicament, receiving nightly calls from these chaps on 01274838272. They seem to hang up without uttering a word! It got me thinking, really-perhaps it's because meerkats aren’t known for their conversational skills, are they? Just a thought!

Got a call super early at 7.30 am and all I could hear was dialing and a bunch of call centre noise in the background. I just ended up hanging up - really irritating to be woken up that early!

We started receiving repeated calls from this number shortly after we requested a car insurance quote on moneysupermarket.com. It's fairly clear that they’re likely linked to the insurance industry. Strangely enough, when we returned the call, it just disconnected!

We’re experiencing the same issue here! The phone goes off, I pick it up, and there’s utter silence. I’ve tried calling back the numbers to get them to stop pestering us, but it just goes straight to a busy tone. Then it prompts me to use ringback, which I do, only to be met with a message saying, "Sorry, there’s been a fault." It’s quite frankly infuriating! Something needs to be sorted out!

They keep ringing me almost every day, but as soon as my answerphone kicks in, they just hang up.

They ended the call on me two times. Could hear loads of background noise, sounded like some sort of call centre.

Really, it's quite baffling that some folks still hand out their phone numbers on the internet. Just a word of advice, don't be so reckless! These individuals are merely doing their jobs, but if you've not shared your number, they can't reach you. So, why take that unnecessary risk?

They keep ringing us but never say a word before hanging up. We recently signed up for breakdown cover with Swinton just last weekend, so I can't help but wonder if this was all part of their scheme!

We received a call from this number, and as soon as we answered, there was an unmistakable hum of a call centre buzzing away in the background. Just after we greeted the caller with a couple of 'hellos', there was this rather loud snort, as if they were struggling with a seriously congested nose, and then they abruptly hung up. Quite bizarre, really!

If you're looking to stop those pesky calls, just dial 08007818539 and you'll be connected to the Swinton office in Hitchin. Politely request that they reach out to their main office to remove you from their annoying call list. Make sure to ask them to give you a call back once it's all sorted out. Should you still have no success, don’t hesitate to ring them again at 01462 436253 and ask for Kate; she’ll follow up on it for you. Good luck!

I've been receiving frequent calls from this number lately. I had a hunch it was related to car insurance, and after perusing some of the feedback here, it seems my suspicions were spot on. My policy is up for renewal, but I've got no plans to switch providers.

I received a call from a chap regarding the home insurance policy I had purchased just the day prior. He was exceptionally courteous and conducted himself in a thoroughly professional manner. Quite an impressive experience, I must say!

I’ve just discovered that the number belongs to a Swinton insurance office. We actually took out a car insurance policy with them a fortnight ago. It's quite odd, really, since they keep contacting us from various numbers. Every time we try to return their call, we’re met with a voicemail, and they always direct us back to this one as their primary contact number for Swinton. Quite the puzzle, isn't it?

We're facing the same issue! We tend to just brush it off. If these callers can't be bothered to leave a message, it's really of no concern to us. There was this one occasion when we answered the phone and had a brief chat, but as we're at work, we had to let them know it was impossible to hear them properly. Yet, it seems they persistently keep trying, despite our lack of response. It's quite unsettling, to be honest!

I received a call from this number earlier today, approximately at a quarter past eleven. They didn’t bother leaving a message. It's just another in a series of pesky callers I've been getting lately, all of whom I've discovered listed here. It really makes me wonder if my number's been added to some dodgy list, considering I'm ex-directory with Talk Talk. I've never had issues like this before.

To the person who posted before me, I must point out that a good number of the forms require you to input your number; without that, you won't receive a quote! We've also been diligent to select every option to opt-out of any sort of communication, yet this was the first occasion we've been bothered. If memory serves, Swinton's website lacks one of those little tick boxes. Don’t fall for such nonsense! I'm quite relieved we've figured out how to eliminate these pesky calls. Cheers!

Just like everyone else on here, I've been getting repeated calls from the number 01422249611. I went ahead and called back, but it was just a recorded message saying to ring 01274838272 if I wanted to stop these annoying calls. I’ve just done that now and apparently they assure me I should be removed from their list within the next 12 hours. Fingers crossed!

It's still going on, believe it or not! I answered, but no one was on the other end. I've now added the number to my contacts as spam. Definitely won't be answering that one again! 😊

We received a rather chilly call from this number, and honestly, it took place just two and a half seconds after we requested a quote for house insurance online. Naturally, our curiosity got the better of us, so we popped the number into a search engine. To our surprise, it turns out these folks are definitely persistent cold callers!
