Did this survey thing but didn’t answer their questions properly, kept pushing me to verify my name which I wouldn’t do, got a bit rude after a while and then just ended the call.

Was a survey, seemed useful but they just suddenly ended the call.

Got a call on my mobile from Beneficial Surveys, they almost said my name right but not quite, so I told them that’s not me. They kept pushing with questions, kept saying I didn’t have the security clearance to answer. They kept asking my name too, but I just said I couldn’t share it without clearance. A few times they said they’d speak to someone else, but in the end they just hung up.

Got a call from someone saying they were from Beneficial. The same 0203 numbers have been ringing me last week as well. When I asked where Beneficial was located, they finally said Watford. I requested full company info, like a postal address, because they’re breaking GDPR rules and I never agreed to any surveys. The lady asked me to hold so she could chat with her manager. I wasn’t left on hold long, but I could clearly hear someone yelling "hang up". No matter which number I block, they just switch to new ones. Such a nuisance!

I keep getting bombarded by this number, along with a few others, all claiming to be conducting a 'beneficial survey'. It’s always the same Indian woman on the line. I’ve asked them repeatedly to remove my details from their system, but they’ve insisted that won’t happen until I answer some questions. I wasn't exactly courteous in my response and have since blocked the number, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I wake up to another call from a different number tomorrow. I was under the impression that these types of calls were against the law now. How on earth are they managing to get hold of my information when there are data protection regulations in place?

Some bloke with a dodgy accent kept callin, I told him I only talk if he’s handin’ over some cash. Then he just hung up. Guess if he wants my thoughts, he’s gotta pay up, simple as. What a twit.

Somebody with barely any English told me they were from 'beneficial' or somethin, no idea who that is. I just ended the call and blocked the number.

I got a call from 012345858447, was a bit curious so I picked up. After I answered there was an awkward silence, then I heard ringing like I was the one making a call. Ended up just hanging up.

Got a call from an Asian lady earlier today, but I couldn't make out what she was saying. Then about ten minutes ago, a call came through from an 01438 number, which seemed like the same woman. I guess they might have several call centres using different numbers, so tracking them down must be tricky. Really hope someone manages to figure out who’s behind all this annoying calling.

‭01362 888493‬ called me from some company called ‘beneficial’. They actually knew my name and my address. I told them some of the info was wrong and asked what info they had on me and how they got it, mentioning GDPR. The person just hung up on me. It sounded like a noisy call centre.

Some bloke said he was calling from 'Beneficial' and wanted to ask me "8 quick questions". He couldn't explain what Beneficial does or what those questions were for. When I said I’d give him a couple of minutes to explain, he immediately asked me to "verify" my postcode and wanted me to tell him. I told him I don’t share my postcode with strangers and he just hung up. Definitely seemed dodgy.

They said they were from Beneficial and then started asking for personal stuff. We fed them fake info to see what they were after. Then we asked when the burglars would show up and they said, twice, between 7 and 10 working days. We asked again to be sure there was no mix-up. Watch out for this number, it’s really dodgy. VERY DANGEROUS.

I've received two calls from this number today. The caller was a woman who sounded like she had a foreign accent, and her English wasn’t the greatest. I didn’t bother engaging, just ended the call after about 20 seconds and promptly blocked the number. If it occurs again, I might just bust out my referee’s whistle!

Another day, another load of nonsense! Had a chap named John ring me up, totally clueless about my postcode or where I live. Honestly, I just lost patience with all the daft questions he was throwing at me. It was such a faff, I couldn't even figure out whether he was droning on about PPI or some car crash nonsense. What a waste of time!

If you mention that you wish to avoid any calls from them, they'll insist on persistently ringing you until you pick up. The best course of action is to simply block the number.

Absolutely infuriating, wasn’t it? Not a single soul picked up the phone-such a nuisance!
