Got a call from a young guy saying he could lower my phone bill. He said he was with uSwitch and knew my current provider info. When I asked for specifics, he sort of guessed my provider but didn’t know how much I usually pay each month. I tried to end the chat and hung up. He rang back two more times, was really pushy and quite disrespectful.

Picked up because it wasn't a blocked number, and some woman with a foreign accent answered. She didn't know my name and just asked, "Is this the phone's owner?" Said it was about my gas and electric supplier. When I told her I was busy at work, she just hung up. Feels like it was probably a bit of a scam.

Honestly, it baffles me how some folks have the time to ring strangers. It's a bit pathetic, really. They ought to find something worthwhile to do instead of bothering others!

Got a call today, I stayed quiet and so did the person on the other end. Checked them out here and yep, just another telemarketer. They really should find something better to do!

Got a cold call about switching energy suppliers, they said they could find me a better deal. When I asked for more details, they wanted my card details right away to set up direct debit. I said could they send info by post, but they said no, only email. When I asked again for the name of the new supplier, they kept pushing for my card number. I finally told them I wasn’t some kind of magician and they weren’t Santa Claus, then they hung up after about 15 mins of nonsense.

Got a cold call about my electricity supplier, they claimed they could get me a better deal. After a quick look, they said yes, so they wanted my card details to start a direct debit. I asked for something in writing but they said they only send info by email. When I asked again, they pushed for my card number, and when I asked the name of the new supplier, they still just wanted my card details. I eventually told them I wasn’t some magical creature and he wasn’t Santa Claus before he hung up after about 15 minutes of nonsense.

Dodgy bloke called Butt-Head K###an Q###um from Leicester up to his usual scams again. Be careful dealing with this prat. Seen him around Spinney Hills, Evington, and Highfields Leicester in 2016.

Got a call today at 15:33, the person spoke English but when I asked about their company they couldn't give a straight answer and just ended the call. I tried calling back but the number isn’t recognised. We should definitely plaster this number across socials and warn others - I’m on it.

Called me at 18:40 today but went silent after I said hello 3 times. They really need to find something better to do or get a real job.

Some guy rang up asking for my partner. When I asked if I could take a message, he quickly jumped in saying my phone bill could be cut and he needed to speak to the account holder. I told him if he was really from the phone company, he'd know who the bill payer is. He then said the discount wasn’t from the phone company, so I told him it definitely wasn’t and hung up. He kept arguing after I ended the call.

Got a call today around 4.30 pm from a bloke claiming he could lower my phone charges. He knew my name and where I live. I asked him straight up how he got my number, and he just cut me off. I’ve been on the TPS for years and never share my number when I fill in anything online. Seriously, stay alert and watch out for these calls!

This number rang me earlier, I let it go to voicemail and they just hung up. So I looked it up on Google and as expected, another bloody telemarketer. I've got tons of these annoying cold-callers on both my landline and mobile now, think I might just make a little directory of all these pest numbers soon.

01283792479 just called to say my broadband and phone line will be switched next month. I didn’t give any info, they only had my number, name and knew it was a business line. I told them they were trying to scam me and they hung up.
