I got a call from 01296 798579 but it showed up on my caller ID as an international number, so I didn’t answer and let it go to voicemail. As soon as it went to answering machine, the call ended straight away. Reading what others have said about this number, I’d advise just blocking it and not picking up.

The government boiler plan was mentioned to me, so I said I'd run it by my local MP first. As soon as I said that, they just hung up.

I received a recorded call purporting to be from the Government’s ECO Scheme, touting free boiler upgrades and an extended warranty. It strikes me as rather dubious, as I’ve never encountered such services previously. Feels like it’s probably a scam.

Got a recorded call today saying it's some Government ECO thing to give a free boiler upgrade. This is actually the second time I’ve had a call like this, and I’ve had similar ones before too. Feels dodgy, like a scam to me.

Got a call saying it was for a boiler upgrade. I hit 1 to find out more, and some bloke picked up. He asked why I’d rung him. I told him he was the one calling, from a call centre! He just said “oh right” and then hung up on me.

No one said a word when I picked up, just silence. Quite strange, really.

There was no voicemail left on my landline.

An unfamiliar number rang me, and I couldn't make out a single word. Amidst the chaos, I managed to mention the disturbance affecting our chat and said I would be ending the call. Just then, the racket ceased, and a gentleman with an Indian accent came on the line. By this point, I was already rather fed up, so I flatly stated that I didn't have time for this and cut the call. I'm suspecting this could very well be a scam.

I picked up the phone and there was nothing but silence and some weird clicking sounds, no one said a word.

Got a call from some bloke who made zero sense, was super annoying. To me, this kind of call feels like a bit of a threat, honestly.

I was expecting a really important call, so I just ignored this one while it rang. Later on, I checked the number here and instantly saw it was a classic scam/spam. Honestly, this site whocalledme is such a lifesaver!!

I let it ring and left the voicemail option on, but didn’t bother leaving a message. Feels like one of those dodgy scam calls.

I got a call on my home phone and the voice seemed to be Asian, maybe Chinese. There was so much background noise from an office that I couldn’t catch what was being said, so I switched to speakerphone. Before I knew it, the call got disconnected. I’m pretty sure I had a call like this about a month back too, pretending to be from some Government Energy Saving Scheme. Feels like these scammers have returned. Honestly, I wish there was a way to put a stop to these no-good tricksters!

I've gotten calls from this number quite a few times recently but I usually don't bother leaving a voicemail since I tend to pick up. When I finally answered, there was loads of noise in the background, like people talking and laughing all over the place. I just ended up hanging up straight away.

I said hi but got nothing back, so I just ended the call. Could hear a lot of noise in the background too.

Got a call on my landline that I hardly ever pick up, even though it's on the TPS list. The sound was really bad, so I couldn’t catch what they were trying to say. They hung up pretty quick, probably banking on me calling them back. Didn’t happen though.

Someone rang claiming to be from a Government programme aiming to cut down on electricity use. I just ended the call and hung up straight away - seemed like a total scam to me.

I picked up but didn't say a word, and then the person on the other end just hung up real quick without a single word. Strange call.

I picked up and just heard like some weird noise and talking in the background, but no one actually said anything to me. Then they dropped the call first. Definitely looks like a scam.

For weeks they kept ringing me up over and over. I always check landline calls by letting the answerphone pick up first, but these lot never bother leaving a message. Seems like some wealthy folks must be backing them, otherwise I can't see why the government would let it go on.

Today, I got calls from about five different cold callers. Every time I block one number, they ring me from a different one. When will the authorities step in and start taking legal action against these annoying cold callers? It’s about time!

Got a call from someone saying my policy needed renewing. Then out of nowhere they guessed what they reckoned was my password. I thought you’re not meant to give out any part of your password to them! I told them I don’t have any policy with their company at all. Total scam, be careful.

Tried ringing them back when I got home from work, but it just went straight to voicemail about some Government Boiler Replacement programme. So I’ve blocked the number on my landline now.
