Got a call from this number yesterday but didn’t pick up, figured it was a scam or something. I usually don’t pick up unless it’s saved on my phone. Whenever I get a strange call, I save the number as 'SCAM' so I won’t bother answering in future. These types tend to ring multiple times a day, quite annoying, but they do stop after a while.

This number, 01542658554, rang me like 4 times within half an hour earlier. They kept asking for a Mr Atkinson, which is strange. They did the same thing a few years back, but once I told them quite firmly to buzz off, they left me alone. Seems they’ve started up once more though, so I gave them the same cheeky reply. Fingers crossed they don’t bother me again!

I'm absolutely inundated with calls on my landline-up to ten a day! It's beyond frustrating, and these pesky foreign call centres are just pushing me to the edge. They promise to put an end to these nuisance calls, but I'm yet to see any real change. It's enough to drive anyone bonkers!

This blasted number has been ringing our landline every half an hour or so today, and it’s absolutely infuriating! I’ve attempted both answering and hanging up, and even had a bit of a rant at them, but sometimes there’s just silence on the other end. I answered a few times and then let it sit for ages, but nothing seems to change! It’s really starting to get on my nerves.

Got a call from them twice within 10 minutes on the 25th of March 2019. I’ve dealt with these kinds of calls before, so I just didn’t bother picking up. Pretty clear to me they’re trying to scam.

My phone showed it as an "international" call, so I just stayed silent and waited to see if anyone would talk. They ended up hanging up. Afterwards I looked up the number here and I'm really pleased I didn't answer or say anything.

I've received three phone calls today, commencing around 11:39 this morning, and not a soul says a word! It’s quite peculiar, really.

Got a couple of calls from this annoying number on the 15th of March 2019, once in the morning and then again later on. I’m sharing this info with my mates because it looks like a scam to me, trying to trick folks into calling back for some dodgy reason. Best to jot down this number and just don’t pick up if it rings you.

Some bloke named Liam from India rang me up, which was a bit obvious right from the start. He asked for my name and address, then started grilling me about being over 60 and even tried to get my credit card expiry date. He just wouldn't stop, so the missus put the phone down.

Yet another bloody scam call! Honestly, I wish the authorities would do something to crack down on these people.

This unknown number kept bugging me with really pushy calls. When they couldn’t reach me, they switched the digits from 568 to 658, or something like that. Ended up putting my phone on Do Not Disturb to stop them.

I got calls from 01542 658554 twice, yesterday and today. Each time I asked them their number back and warned that I’d report them to the proper TPS. They say they’re Telephone Preference Management, just a bit different in the name, but many people wouldn’t catch that. Be careful not to share any personal info or banking details with them.

This number rang me three times this morning and twice the day before. I didn’t know who it was so I left it, thinking it might be busy. They never left a voicemail, so I looked it up here rather than calling back.

Received a call that purported to be from the Telephone Preference Service, and they seemed to know my name, address, and postcode. They then started probing for my banking information, which felt decidedly dodgy. I promptly ended the call.

Got a call from an Asian guy who said he was from Telecom Preference Management and somehow knew my name. I told him I was already registered with the Telecom Preference Service, then he just ended the call.

I got a call like this recently, with someone saying they could block annoying international calls using the TPS. They told me my name and address, then asked if I pay my bills by direct debit. When I said the TPS was free and wondered why they needed that info, they just ended the call. This wasn’t BT or the real TPS, for sure! Never give out your bank info to these scammers. I’ve had about 6 to 8 calls from them already, it’s pure harassment.

Seen that this number had bad reviews before, I chose not to pick up when it rang twice today.

Some woman rang me pretending to be from TPS, saying my subscription had expired and I had to renew it. I told her TPS doesn't even charge for their service, but she kept going on about some "upgrade" to stop all those annoying overseas and spam calls. I just told her straight it was a scam as I was checking TPS’s official site right then. She still insisted she was legit, so I ended up giving her a proper earful down the phone - probably left her with ringing in her ears!

A guy with an Asian accent called me, said he was from TPS. I pretended to go along with it just to check how much he actually knew about me. I was shocked - he had my full address, postcode and even knew I pay by direct debit. When he asked for my bank info, I told him no way. Then he just cut the call.

I got a call from someone claiming to be the telephone preference service, but it turned out to be scammers from the Indian subcontinent. I just pretended to be interested, wasting their time until they figured out I wasn't falling for it, then they eventually just hung up.

When I picked up, there was a woman with a thick accent asking for Mrs Smith. Since my last name isn’t Smith, I told her so. She kept going on, saying it could be a mistake with the name but she was sure about the number. I just ended the call after that.

We've received about ten calls from this number in just the past couple of days. When I finally answered, all I could hear was the buzzing din typical of a call centre, yet no one uttered a word. Quite baffling!

Had another ring this week from a busy call centre, though it was a different number this time. A bloke with an Asian accent who said his name was Alex rang me up, claiming my telephone preference service had run out and they were looking to renew it. He seemed to know loads about me, but then asked to verify the expiry on my bank card. Once I told him it sounded like a scam, he just dropped the call.

I've had this number ring me a couple of times today, claiming to be from some telephone preference service or something. Just yesterday, I got about seven calls from 01262238950, all with the same spiel. They seemed to know quite a bit about me, which was a bit creepy.
