I’ve just received a call from Develop Scotland, and they addressed me by my maiden name from more than 15 years back! It’s worth mentioning that I've relocated nearly four years ago, although I kept the same phone number. I’m registered with the Telephone Preference Service, and I reckon it's against the law to retain personal information like that. I requested to speak with a manager and ended up on hold for quite a while. When I asked for a contact number for their office, they claimed they didn't have one since they only made outgoing calls. I was offered a chance to chat with a director or someone in a similar role, but then I got disconnected. The whole conversation spanned over four minutes, and I can't help but wonder if there's any recourse for reporting this company. Like many folks, I'm inundated with far too many unwanted calls!

I've been plagued by incessant calls from an outfit claiming to be the Energy Care Company. Despite being on the Telephone Preference Service, it's as if it makes no difference whatsoever! It's utterly baffling-when will action be taken against this? I’m receiving a barrage of 2 or 3 calls daily, all pushing insulation, new windows, boilers, and the like. It’s become quite tiresome!

I've had a few missed calls from this number lately. They rang me on a Saturday morning, and when I picked up, a woman on the other end introduced herself as being from a company called Develop Scotland. She mentioned something about having funds to share with local communities. Curiously, she asked if I owned my home, and when I moderately confirmed, the call abruptly ended. It seems they’re merely fishing for personal information.

I just received a rather unexpected call from this number. The young man on the line had a thick Glasgow accent and spoke at such a pace that I had to ask him to repeat himself three times, which clearly irked him and he became quite rude. He claimed to be representing an outfit called Development Scotland, saying they had a substantial amount of funding to distribute for homeowners with windows over a decade old. To me, this sounded like a veiled attempt to sell me new double glazing. I'm definitely blocking this number without a second thought and I strongly recommend others do the same. It's quite baffling that Ofcom isn't taking action, considering the chap contravened at least three of their regulations that I’m aware of.

I recently received a phone call from this number, and when I returned the call, it mentioned something about being from the Lowland Research Partnership. However, the person who initially contacted me claimed to be with a power company, which seems rather misleading. Interestingly, when you ring them back, there's an option to have your number taken off their list within a week. Quite the curious situation!

I’m absolutely fed up with receiving calls from this number! Every time I pick up, they seem to cut off without a word. Such a nuisance!

I've received three calls from this number over the past week. They haven't left any voicemails, and after checking out this site, I've decided not to ring them back!

A moment ago, my home phone rang, and as soon as I picked up, the line went dead. I've no clue who could be trying to get in touch.

They keep ringing me to check if I'm eligible for some help. I usually let the call end without saying a word! :)

This number, along with another from the 0131 range (Edinburgh - 0131562696), is just one of the many nuisances that infest our phone lines. It's really escalated into a nightmare over the past five years, hasn’t it? The government’s threats of hefty fines seem to be utterly ineffective, to say the least. It’s quite the annoyance, I must say (and just to add, I never pick up these calls; unknown numbers simply go unanswered here).

Annoying calls from a so-called Market Research outfit. It's important to ensure that this number has been flagged.
