Just got a call from Develop Scotland and they were calling me by my maiden name from more than 15 years ago! I moved to a new house over 4 years back but kept my old phone number. Despite being on the TPS, they somehow managed to contact me, which I thought was against the law with data like that. I asked if I could talk to a manager and had to wait a while before someone came on. When I requested their phone number, they said they don’t have one because they only make outbound calls. They mentioned I could speak to the director or someone similar but then the call got cut off quick. The whole thing went on for over four minutes and now I’m wondering if there’s any way to investigate this company. Like many folks, I’m fed up with all these unwanted calls.

I've been getting loads of annoying calls from some group called Energy Care Company. Even though we're on the TPS list, they just ignore it! Honestly, it's so frustrating to get 2 or 3 calls every single day pushing stuff like insulation, new windows, boilers, and all that rubbish. When will anyone actually take action to stop these constant sales calls?

Had a few missed calls from this number. When I finally picked up on a Saturday morning, a lady said she was from a firm named Develop Scotland. She mentioned something about funds being handed out to local areas. She asked if I was the homeowner according to their records, and when I said yes, she just abruptly ended the call. Feels like they’re trying to gather personal details for some dodgy reason.

Got a call from this number earlier today, a young guy with a heavy Glasgow accent talking so quickly I had to ask him to slow down and repeat himself a few times. He got really annoyed and started being rude. Claimed he was ringing from some company called Development Scotland, saying they'd been given loads of cash to help out local areas where people's windows are over 10 years old. Obviously, what he meant was trying to sell new double glazing. I'm blocking this number right away and would warn others to do the same. Surely OFCOM should be on their case because this bloke broke a few rules I’m sure of.

This number rang me earlier. When I tried calling back, the message said it was from Lowland Research Partnership. But the lady who actually spoke sounded like she was representing some sort of energy company. If you decide to ring them back, there's a choice to get your phone number taken off their list in a week or so.

In the past week, I’ve had three calls from this number. They didn’t leave any voicemail, so after checking this site, I decided not to call back.

I got a call on my home phone a little while back and the person just dropped the call as soon as I picked up. No clue who that could be.

They keep ringing up asking if I’m eligible for help, but I just end the call straight away :)

I got a call and could only hear a bunch of dial tones before everything just went quiet.

Lately I’ve been getting calls from numbers starting with 0131 - like one from 0131562696 - seems they’re part of a bunch of dodgy ones causing lots of hassle. This trouble’s really picked up in the past few years, and it doesn’t look like threats of big fines from the government have made much difference. They’re proper annoying, so I just don’t pick up if the number’s not saved.

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