Got a call from an Indian bloke who was chatting about windows or something, then asked how I was. Told him I wasn’t bothered and he just hung up. Then, about half an hour later, the same number called again but the moment I picked up, they cut off. Weird.

This afternoon I got a call from someone with an Indian accent saying they were from the Telephone Preference Service. Ironically, it seemed just like the annoying calls they said they’d stop me from getting. I just ended the call straight away.

It's not even 11:45 yet, and I've already received three calls from this particular number today. Yesterday, I also got one call from them, and the same goes for the day before. Each time, they claim to be from Microsoft Windows, telling me that my computer is producing error reports that they are receiving. It's absolutely nonsense, of course! The person on the other end is always foreign. I'm certain that these individuals are aware of the fact that they have been instructed to attempt scamming people out of their money on behalf of their "employer," whoever that may be. Don't they have any sense of morals? They're just complete nuisances! This week, I even received a similar call from the number 01312048705.

I was out most of the day when I noticed a missed call from this number. It popped up as an international caller on my caller ID, which seemed odd. I didn’t answer but thought I’d block it later. Checking my recent calls, the same number called me like six times over just a few hours! Definitely seems dodgy to me.

Got a call from a guy with an Indian accent who actually knew my name and where I live. I didn’t say if that info was right or wrong. He said he was gonna re-register my phone to block spam calls. Then he started asking for our Visa card info but I didn’t give him anything. Told him I always sort out the phone stuff online myself. He just ended the call after that.

On 24th January 2018, I received multiple calls from this particular number. Eventually, I decided to answer one of them. The caller claimed to be from a company specializing in blocking unwanted phone calls. However, he quickly proceeded to inquire about direct debits and visa cards. Naturally, I refused to provide him with any information, prompting him to hang up abruptly. I feel it is necessary to warn others about this number as it belongs to a persistent and troublesome nuisance caller.

Over the past four days, I've had this 01312048703 number ring me a few times, but I never picked up because I don’t answer numbers I don’t know. After seeing what others have said about it, I’m definitely more cautious now.

Got calls from this number about 5 times today. Each time the voice was Asian or Indian accent. They kept asking for my late father-in-law, who passed away over 6 years ago. Claimed to be calling from some phone preference service, but felt like they was trying to get private info.

Over the past couple of days, I got about four calls from men speaking with thick Indian accents. They claimed to be located in west London, but their number was definitely from Edinburgh.

I have received 3 phone calls today already. When I answered the first call, the person claimed they were from TPS (Telephone Preference Service). However, I suspected that they were a scam and informed them that I would be reporting them. Despite this, they called me twice more afterwards. I only answered the first subsequent call because the area code, 0131, matched my local area, and I thought it might be a genuine local call. These repeated calls are extremely bothersome.

Today, four calls were received from a certain number with a consistent loud background noise. When I inquired about their identity, they insisted on knowing my name first and later asserted that they were from TPS. Generally, genuine callers, including professionals, do not have excessive background noise and introduce themselves before requesting to speak with a specific individual. Clearly, this number was involved in a fraudulent activity.

This number rang me like three times within a couple days. Every time I picked up, they just hung up. But today, a woman with an Indian accent called and said she was from the telephone preference service. She even told me my address and said she'd help stop the junk calls. I kept her on the line, curious to see what she'd want next. Then she asked for my debit card expiry and if I could grab my card to confirm. I told her straight away she was a scammer and told her to take me off her list before hanging up.

For the past two days, I've been bothered by this particular number that keeps calling me. Initially, I did pick up the phone, but there was no response. However, I have now made the decision to stop answering it altogether. Despite this, they persistently call me around four or five times a day. Occasionally, the caller ID displays "International phone call." It's unfortunate to encounter such disturbed individuals.

Got a call from this number about 6 times today, eventually picked up. The guy claimed to be from BT preference services and wanted to speak to my Dad. I said he wasn’t around, then he got all rude and asked me who I was. Really pushy bloke. He even tried to get my direct debit info, despite me saying I don’t live here and the payments aren’t from my bank account. He just kept pestering, so I just ended the call. Total scam artist.

I told him he was calling the house of an 84 year old, and he just said “yeah, I’m aware, now listen to me!” So I ended the call. They rang again immediately but I didn’t pick up, just let it go to voicemail. Properly awful behaviour!

This number has rung me a half dozen times today. Most of the time it shows up as an international caller, even tho the code looks like it’s from 0131 Edinburgh. We never answer calls from numbers we don’t know, especially if it looks like an overseas call. On one answer machine recording today, I caught the tail end of some robotic voice saying something like "…talk to your case officer. Cheers." Seems pretty dodgy since a proper call would’ve had a real person leaving a message after the beep.

Got a call from a lady with an Indian accent who kept saying she could help stop all the annoying calls if only I gave her my direct debit info. She was going on about how the Telephone Preference Service would block these calls. It's been a right hassle - she's phoned me three times within a day. Really pushy!

This call did not originate from Edinburgh - the contact number is fake. The individual on the other end of the call had a South Asian accent and claimed to be from "Windows".

Got a guy on the line with an Indian accent, saying he was from the Telephone Preference Service, offering to help me get rid of all these annoying calls.

Now I’m stuck with 122 spam voicemails clogging up my inbox. What a mess!
