I gave this number a ring back and it turns out they’re involved in some sort of investment advisory service, supposedly about helping with mis-sold policies. I made it clear that we’re registered with the Telephone Preference Service, but they insisted they were calling about a Lifestyle Survey we participated in. Honestly, I vaguely recall a call like that a while ago. Just a word of caution: even if you’re on the Telephone Preference list, these folks can sidestep it if you’ve engaged in their surveys. Their claim was that it gives them the green light to contact you. So, be on your guard!

Hackett brought up a rather intriguing automated calling system. I reckon it’s likely some sort of computerised setup that dials ten or a dozen numbers all at once, and whoever happens to pick up first gets connected, while the others are left hanging with nothing but dead air. It's completely exasperating when you find yourself on the receiving end of that nonsense!

One of those pesky phone calls rang in, and as we answered with a simple "hello," the line promptly went silent after a mere couple of seconds. Frustrating, isn’t it? It’s happened to us twice now in just a few weeks. How many more of these silent interruptions are we expected to endure?

Called us at 15:44. Answered on the first ring, but nobody was on the line. Perhaps they've got a few too many in charge... and not nearly enough doing the actual work!

I share your frustration with the incessant ringing from these numbers! It’s incredibly annoying when you pick up, only to be met with silence and a dead line. What on earth grants these companies the audacity to engage in such behaviour? It’s high time someone put a stop to it!

I've tried ringing them back on four occasions now, and every time they pick up, we just remain silent until they hang up. If more folks did the same, these callers would experience a bit of their own medicine, and it could really affect their operations. It's just that straightforward!

After receiving my second call earlier today, I must say it was quite the surprise! Finally, someone at the other end of the line started chatting away, trying to convince us to take legal action against the providers of our endowment policies, claiming they were misrepresented.

The phone rang thrice without a peep or any sound; then on the fourth attempt, a voice chimed in discussing endowment mis-selling. We’re not keen on that and expressed our annoyance about the previous three silent calls, only to be told it was a recorded message system. That’s hardly our issue! We decided to hang up.

Called inquiring about our folks, and then they asked us for my details!

This number has been ringing us incessantly for the last four days, several times a day, no less! We refuse to pick up when we don't recognise the caller. They did leave a message on our answering machine once, droning on about some so-called past ‘benefits’-which, truth be told, I’ve never received! So, it’s a definite no from us. They're certainly tenacious, I’ll give them that!

Like others have mentioned regarding this number, the moment I picked up the phone, they hung up straight away. Quite baffling, really!

Had the same experience as earlier: nothing but a racket. Got two calls today.

Called us at 3:44 PM. Answered on the very first ring, but nobody was on the line. Perhaps they've got a surplus of managers and a shortage of workers, eh? Quite the curious situation!

I'm experiencing the exact same issue. There's never anyone on the other end when I try to reach out. I gave it a go to return the call, only to be met with some annoying hold music. I've had a string of calls from an unknown number, and I've decided enough is enough-I've blocked them to put an end to this nonsense. Is it possible that these folks are using fake numbers to dodge detection?

I'm experiencing the same issue. There’s never anyone on the line when I pick up. Whenever I try to ring them back, all I get is a tune playing endlessly. I've had persistent calls from a number I can't identify, and I really wish they'd just stop trying to reach me. Is it possible that these folks are using virtual numbers to bypass the call restrictions? It's very frustrating!

I've had a couple of nuisance calls from this outfit now. Each time, I’ve made it clear, “I’m not interested, kindly don’t call again, cheers!” Just registered with the Telephone Preference Service yesterday as this was really becoming a right nuisance! They mentioned it could take as long as 28 days to kick in. Fingers crossed for some peace soon! The caller claimed her name was Paul and was going on about ENDOWMENT POLICIES. Honestly, I’m fed up with these annoying calls!

We attempted to return the call from this number after we missed it, only to receive a message saying their offices were shut. Quite amusing, considering we just received the call barely a minute prior! Given that I’m on a phone preference register, I really do wish these callers would refrain from contacting me.

I've had quite enough of answering the phone to these absolute numpties! Can you believe it? I've already had four calls today where there's just silence on the other end! It's infuriating!

I've received a fair few missed calls over the past week, but no one has bothered to drop a message, which indicates these folks likely haven't got a clue who we are or simply don't fancy a chat. It’s rather annoying and quite discourteous, if you ask me. They’re probably trying to sell something we definitely don’t need or want. Honestly, I won't let it bother me; life’s far too fleeting for that sort of nonsense!

Received this call twice earlier today. There wasn’t a sound on the other end, just a silent line. But as soon as we tried to return the call, it was nothing but music! Quite odd, isn't it?

I tried giving them a ring back, but there was no connection at all. Quite vexing, to say the least. They're really quite the nuisance, these callous individuals.

I received a call from this number, but they hung up as soon as my voicemail kicked in. It's quite puzzling, as we've been registered with the Telephone Preference Service for ages now. It seems they either neglect to consult the list of prohibited numbers or simply aren’t bothered at all. Quite frustrating, I must say!

I've received two calls from this lot already. On both occasions, I've been quite clear: "I'm not interested, please refrain from calling me again, thanks. Bye!" I've just the other day signed up for the Telephone Preference Service as this has become utterly ridiculous! However, they mentioned it could take as long as 28 days to process my registration. Fingers crossed I’ll start noticing some peace soon. The caller said her name was Paul and was on about ENDOWMENT POLICIES. I'm absolutely fed up with these bothersome calls!

The phone rang thrice on the 2nd of March, 2010, and each time, the line would remain connected for approximately a minute before cutting off. Quite peculiar, to say the least!
