Got a call from some business saying I’d been in a car crash at some point in the last couple of years. Pretty sure it’s a scam or something.

Got a call from someone saying they were from Virgin Media, like they were broadband or utility people, but they were just after my personal details.

Loads of calls from numbers starting with 0131 516, like 7383, 6508, and 7260. All of them ended up on my block list. Definitely a call centre.

No idea who it was, didn’t bother to leave any message. Just blocked the number straight away.

I rang but there was no answer from them.

Sick of getting calls from Edinburgh. Every time I block one number starting with 0131516, they just call from another that’s almost the same but with different last few digits like 7260 or 8088. It’s nonstop! Tried blocking again and again but still more come through. Definitely a scam.

Got another dodgy cold caller ringing me up out the blue. Blocked the number straight away. They even gave it a go on these lines too: 0131 516 7383 and 0131 516 8088. So annoying!

Got a call from this number but no message left. Looks like one of those cold calls again, similar to a few other numbers I’ve already blocked. Just another one to add to the blocked list.

Got a call from 01315167260 but didn't pick up. Then they rang me back from my own number! I hate unsolicited calls, especially from numbers I don't recognise. I’ve no one in Edinburgh at all. Are these PPI scams really still going on? Seems like it.

I got a call from People's Energy, seemed pretty friendly at first. But when the guy asked for my bank details before showing me any proposal, I said no way. He kept pushing even after I said I wanted to see the offer first. Got fed up and ended the call, then blocked the number.

Called back but got nothing. After reading other reviews, feels like a scam to me.

Somebody rang me but never left a message, and I didn’t get a chance to pick up either, so I’m not sure who it was.

This number, or one that’s almost the same but with a couple of different digits at the end, rings constantly! It’s just nonstop calls every day. I picked up once and there was nothing but silence on the other end. Feeling totally harrassed by it.

They called me two times but didn’t leave any voicemail or message either time.

This number has called me a few times, but when I picked up there was just silence on the other end.

Someone rang me but didn't leave a voicemail or say who they were. Honestly, I doubt it was a legitimate call if they can’t even bother to leave a message.

At about 6.35 in the evening I got a call, they said “Mr” then hung up straight away. I blocked that number but I’m sure they’ll just try calling me from a different one. Honestly, it’s getting really annoying.

Someone called saying they could help me cut down on my energy bills.

Got a recorded call saying it was from Peoples Energy, asking me to ring a different number, but it was said so fast I couldn't note it down. When I tried calling back the original number, no luck getting through.
Peoples Energy

I get calls from this number pretty much daily, which is super annoying and honestly feels like harassment too.
5 years
We keep getting calls from this number at our house, like, literally twice every single day. But when you pick up, it's just dead silence and that annoying dead line beep. Proper bloody harassment, and it’s clear they don’t want to sort anything out - just endless prank calls!
5 years
Total rip off!

Honestly, if this number rings you, just hang up and block it. People can't even go after PPI claims now, so it’s definitely a con.
5 years
These calls won’t quit, bothering me multiple times daily! I’m fed up and guess it’s time to block the number for good.
5 years
What really stands out to me is the whole PPI scam from this so-called beneficial lot. If they’re still ringing people up trying to claim PPI after the cutoff date, no matter who they say they are, it’s just a scam. You can’t trust beneficial or anyone like that. My advice? Just block and bin their number straight away. Dangerous are scammers for sure. PPI stopped being something worthwhile years ago once the deadline passed - it’s just about trying to grab your cash now.
Beneficial

Even though I’ve blocked this number, it keeps ringing me constantly. Don’t pick up, it’s definitely a scam!

They keep calling me every weekend, it's really annoying.

This number rings me like 4 times a week no matter how many times I block it! I tried joking with the caller to mix travel with a bit of fun, but all I got back was that annoying buzzing sound every time. It’s beyond frustrating!

Got a call outta nowhere today. Didn’t ask for it or anything. Quite annoying really.

Got another random call out of the blue. Never trust these things, always a risk.

Got a call from someone saying they're People's Energy Co, sounded pretty genuine at first. But then they asked me to give a fake name, one I'd used ages ago in some harmless survey. Didn't feel right - turns out it was all a front for a dodgy PPI scam try.

I picked up the phone and it was someone selling stuff again. Honestly, I barely listen to them and just say I’m not interested. It’s always the same calls from different numbers. Would love to know who’s behind these annoying calls!

Totally a scam, just block it straight away.

Odd number indeed. I have a hunch it might be one of those dodgy scam callers.

For the past few days, this number keeps ringing me like crazy, sometimes multiple times a day. I picked up today and the second I did, the call just dropped. Tried ringing them back and all I get is some quick voice message saying “goodbye” before it hangs up. Honestly, I’m just going to block it since they don’t actually talk when I answer!
5 years
Suspected scam, no reply when I called back. I've blocked the number.

Whenever I pick up, no one’s on the other end, and if you don’t bother answering, they just don’t bother leaving a voicemail or anything.

This number, 01315167260, has been calling me loads of times on my mobile. I've got a blocker app called Optimise that stops it since I never pick up, so it hasn't learned to recognise the caller. The annoying bit is I don't get any alerts from other blocked numbers or their texts. You can unblock numbers through Optimise, but it's such a pain having this happen for months. A while ago, I searched the number online - some digits were different though - and I think I saw something about reporting to the police, which I did. Still, the calls keep coming.
5 years
Definitely a scam, this number 01315167260 called me. I heard weird heavy breathing before they just hung up. Total waste of time.

I picked up and right away the caller just hung up on me. Definitely some kind of scam going on here!

This number calls me daily with no explanation. When I pick up, the line just goes dead. Tried calling it back but no luck. Seems like some sort of scam.

I’ve received calls on the last Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and again today at precisely 15:08 each time. I decided not to pick up any of them, and curiously, there hasn’t been a single voicemail left behind.
