Got a call from someone called Alex, said he was with the Solar Centre trying to push renewable energy stuff. I told him my number’s ex-directory and asked how he even got it. He said it was from some Renewable Energy Directory. I told him to take me off their list as I wasn’t interested.

I've been receiving incessant calls from an Asian gentleman whose English isn't quite up to scratch. He keeps ringing from a number linked to Edinburgh, asking for someone who clearly doesn't reside here. Despite my best efforts to explain the situation, he just won’t take a hint. It's becoming rather bothersome with multiple calls throughout the day!

I tend to pick up these kinds of calls and not say a word; I simply stay quiet. More often than not, the person at the other end is a machine, and they disconnect pretty quickly. After that, I make a habit of looking up the numbers, and they're typically linked to scams. Once I've confirmed that, I make sure to block them on my device.

Some of these customer service reps are something else. I can't stand it when they ring you up and start calling you by your first name like we're mates or something. Proper annoying.

I've received a couple of calls from this number. The first time I picked up, it was a woman with a foreign accent. She didn’t even get a chance to say much before I hung up and subsequently blocked them. Today, they tried again from 0131 516 2902, so I've blocked them once more. What a bunch of opportunists!

Received a dodgy call regarding some sort of accident or insurance mishap. A chap introduced himself as Gary, ringing from an outfit that I could barely make out, something like Ro Pearson - the noise on the line was quite chaotic, and his speech was all over the place. He mentioned that my number had ‘popped up’ in their database concerning a car accident I supposedly experienced. After a brief apology, he just hung up. Total shambles!

This morning at 4:10, I received an incessant barrage of calls-seven in total-from an unknown number. Who on earth would be making such a racket at that ungodly hour? It must be a lunatic! A month back, I had a rather unfortunate encounter where I phoned a number that turned out to be one of those premium rate lines, leaving my pocket a little lighter. You can bet I wasn't about to make the same blunder today!

I think this number might be linked to some firm, but I can’t find any details online about it. Has anyone else had any contact with it? Just a heads up, if this number rings you, it’s probably a shared-cost call, so it’s best not to ring back.

Looks like this is a green line number, likely linked to a business where the company covers the call costs. I couldn’t identify the exact company behind it though. But I have seen a quite similar number being used by SSE Scottish & Southern Electricity’s customer support.

I got a call from this number at twenty past eleven on Wednesday, the 4th of May, 2022. The person on the other end identified herself and proceeded to talk about some "small accident I had supposedly been a part of recently." Mind you, I haven’t had any such incident at all! I simply said, "No thanks," and ended the call.
