They've rung a few times while I was out recently, but never left any voicemail, so I just ignored it thinking it wasn't important. After seeing what others have said, I'm glad no one picked up - sounds like total scammers!

On the 11th of May 2018, I missed quite a few calls from this number, at about 9:58, then again at 12:04, 14:09 and later 16:22. Seemed like it was important since they rang so many times, but no voicemail or message was left whatsoever.

I ignored the calls today at 8.44 and 10.47 in the morning because the number was unfamiliar. I usually hang up straight away, since picking up just confirms your phone is active and ends up bringing even more calls like this one.

I've tried ringing them loads of times, sometimes even a few times a day for about a week now, but every time there's just silence. Not once have they picked up to have a chat.

Got a call from 01438 316981 earlier, some bloke with an Indian accent claiming he was with DPC or PCC or something. He said he found my number on some national list. I told him that after May 25th, with the new data laws kicking in, they’re not allowed to call me since I never agreed to it (fingers crossed that actually means something!). Mentioned I’m signed up to the telephone preference service and he just went quiet and hung up.

This number called me three times today, and each time I picked up, the line just went silent. I’m just gonna ignore it from now on.

They’ve rung me loads in the past few days, must’ve been about ten times. Luckily, my phone’s got this call blocking thing where it makes unknown numbers wait before letting them through, and then it checks if I actually want to answer. Of course, these lot never hang about to wait, probably cos they’re desperate to try their scams on someone else!

I’ve no clue who it was, just another call where they went silent and hung up - typical scammer nonsense. These dodgy people hide behind outdated phone systems, making it easy to stay off the radar while trying to trick folks out of their cash. It’s about time the government got serious, tracked these crooks down, and brought them to justice to safeguard the public who voted them in. If they won’t do that, maybe it’s time they step aside for someone who will.

Got a call from 01438316981 the other day, but the moment I picked up, the line just went dead. When I tried to ring back, no luck getting through. Seems like it's a Herts area code. Strange!

Just got a call from a woman with a thick accent claiming she was from British Gas. She rattled off my postcode to check if it was right, then asked if I was 51. I jokingly said “I wish,” and she quickly responded with “827,” which made no sense to me. I ended up just hanging up. Strange call!

I got a call from some bloke with a funny accent claiming to be from Marks and Spencer's. He wanted me to verify my name, my age (I'm 51), and my address. Then just as quickly as he started, he ended the call. Quite unsettling, if you ask me.

Got a call from someone with an Asian accent, they wanted me to verify my name, postcode and if i was over 51. The moment i asked who it was, they just hung up. Who even are these folks? It really shook me up and i reported it as a phishing attempt, then rang my bank just to be safe. I’m so annoyed at myself, usually i’m really careful but i was a bit distracted then. Grr!

Someone with an accent that wasn’t English called me, saying they were from Marks and Spencers - you could hear people talking on the phone behind him. He asked for my wife by her first and middle names, said it was just a quick check of our address and postcode. When I asked what it was about, he refused to tell me until I gave the info. Then when I wanted to know how they got our number, he just ended the call.
