I received a call earlier today from individuals claiming to represent the local Labour party. They insisted they needed to verify how those listed on the electoral register at this address intended to vote in upcoming elections. However, the local Labour party has no knowledge of this activity whatsoever!

Rang this number at 7 PM on a Friday night, but it seems no one was around to pick up. Oddly enough, it doesn’t seem to take any incoming calls either!

We received a call from this number earlier today, but no one was on the line. Has anyone managed to uncover who’s behind it?

Received a call from these individuals on the 7th of April, 2008. Quite frankly, they’re a nuisance and ought to be dealt with severely!

I’m not familiar with these individuals, but they were inquiring about our older brother, who hasn’t been at our mum’s place for over two years. They've called our number another three times prior, which we've chosen not to respond to. Additionally, our number is listed with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS), so one would assume that it’s supposed to provide some level of protection. Seems like the TPS isn’t quite doing what it’s supposed to!

I received a single call from this number, but as soon as I picked up, they disconnected! I’m left wondering if I might know who they are and what on earth they could want from me?

Just received a call at 20:55. Quite curious to find out we're not alone in this. So far, we have no idea who these individuals are or what they might be after. We'll definitely keep you updated if we happen to receive any further calls.

Received a call earlier today (Saturday) around 1 PM. It disconnected as soon as we answered. Just so you know, we're on the Telephone Preference Service list.

I've received three calls from this number over the last couple of days. Each time I try to return the call, I'm met with a recorded message saying that the line doesn't accept incoming calls. Since I'm on the Telephone Preference Service list, I shouldn’t be getting these nuisance calls. Unfortunately, I've yet to actually talk to a real person.

Received a call at 19:50 this evening, Thursday, 22nd April 2008. When I answered, there was silence, and they hung up right away. I tried ringing the number back, but it was met with a recorded message saying that they don't accept incoming calls. Quite peculiar, really!

Hello there. I recently received a call from these individuals claiming to represent the Portsmouth NHS Trust, which isn’t far from our area. We let them know that they shouldn’t be reaching out to us since we’re registered with the Telephone Preference Service. After that, they abruptly ended the call. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!

We received a call from 01388744399 earlier this afternoon at approximately a quarter to four, but the line went dead the moment we answered. I have no idea who’s behind this number, but I’m optimistic that as more individuals share insights here, we’ll soon unravel the mystery.

They gave us a bell earlier today, Saturday, the 20th of April 2008, at precisely 15:41. They simply said, "Hello, can we speak to Mr. ..." and then hung up without another word. Who on earth are these folks?

I recently received a call at my folks' house, and they were apparently trying to reach me. I'm in the dark about what it's regarding, but apparently they've been trying to get hold of me since Friday. This was the first time any of us actually answered the phone, even though someone’s been there the whole time. They mentioned they're linked to the NHS trust... does anyone have any clue who these individuals might be?

This number has called us repeatedly, yet we're never around to answer. Consequently, we haven't had the chance to hear whatever it is they might want to say. Residing in London, we've come across information on another site indicating that when others answer, the callers claim to be from Portsmouth NHS. We're puzzled as to why they would be trying to get in touch with us. It's quite frustrating, really!

A call came through to our landline at 4pm on the 9th of April, 2008, but we were out and unfortunately, it went unanswered. We don't expect to receive any 'cold' calls or 'random' numbers, so I'm left wondering who the devil this could be!

Received a call the other day from a number that showed up as unavailable on our landline at 4:46 PM. Then, lo and behold, the same mystery caller tried again today at 5:47 PM. Thankfully, we were both at work during those times, which is a stroke of luck! It's quite strange how we keep getting these unsolicited calls; we really ought to be spared from such cold calls!

Received a call today from this number. We don't know anyone in County Durham. Who could it possibly be? Tried looking them up, but found absolutely nothing.

It's quite peculiar, isn't it, how this number is associated with Lancashire and Portsmouth when it really doesn't connect to either location? The area code is actually tied to the Bishop Auckland exchange, encompassing towns like Shildon, Spennymoor, Stanhope, Weardale, and Witton-le-Wear, all nestled in County Durham. One might even stretch that to include Darlington! I'm curious-does anyone else see a potential correlation? I’ve heard whispers of a possible affiliation with the NHS. Any thoughts or insights from the community?

Had a call from someone who seemed to know our name. They claimed to be with the Lancashire NHS Trust, but as we tried to clarify the purpose, they abruptly hung up! Quite puzzling, to say the least!

Today, we received a call from this number-once more from Portsmouth NHS Trust. Who can say what's going on? They were after our partner and mentioned something about needing me on a mailing list for newsletters and the like to somehow contribute to the trust. Oddly enough, they were keen on my involvement but didn’t seem to require any payment or anything. Quite strange, to be honest! I haven’t shared any information with them yet, but the whole situation feels rather peculiar, doesn’t it?

Another call from the same number has come through at 18:34. I've chosen not to answer, but if these callers persist and repeat their inquiries, I shall be left with no choice but to report this nuisance to BT. It's quite tiresome, really!

Received a call from this number earlier today; they were conducting some market research for a campaign we had expressed interest in. So, it seems they acquired our number through proper channels. The lady I spoke to was very pleasant. All was good, no issues at all.

Received a call this evening concerning the NHS from a lovely lady. She mentioned that they’re affiliated with several NHS trusts, and their main aim is to recruit members for foundation trusts to gather feedback through surveys. It seems they collaborate with various other organisations too. Just to clarify, they’re not selling anything-merely seeking people’s views. Honestly, I think it’s worthwhile to share your thoughts as it can only benefit the NHS in the long run.
