A pre-recorded message popped up as my voicemail kicked in, chatting about some sort of security concern.

Received a missed call from this number earlier today. Thank goodness I chose not to return the call!

It seems I keep getting daily calls from this pesky lot regarding my washing machine warranty. Thankfully, my phone has a handy feature that identifies them as a likely spam caller, so I’ve opted not to pick up. I’ve attempted to block them, but they just keep changing their number! Quite the nuisance, really.

Rang me at 8:23 in the morning but didn’t utter a word. Straight to the BLOCK list for that one!

My phone has this rather handy feature that announces who's calling, and it seems the person on the other end had no desire to chat. I've gone ahead and blocked that number now.

I received a call from someone with a foreign accent about appliance insurance. As soon as I realised, I ended the call without delay. My insurance provider never contacts me over the phone; they strictly communicate via post.

nuisance calls

I received a call from a woman whose accent sounded quite exotic. She inquired if I happened to be Mr. Bateman, to which I rightly responded in the negative. She then proceeded to ask if I was connected to Mr. Bateman’s family, but I again affirmed that I wasn’t. After a brief moment, she apologised and admitted she'd dialled the wrong number!

Received a call at 1:40 PM today; the caller hung up without uttering a word.

No one left a message when the answering machine came on.

Received a call at 8 in the morning, just what you'd want when someone in the house is trying to catch some Zs before heading off for a night shift. No one bothered to say anything. Absolutely pathetic.

This morning at 8 o'clock, my landline rang and startled me out of my slumber. I only ever use it for urgent matters, so you can imagine my panic when it suddenly chimed.

I didn't recognise the number, so I didn't pick up right away. The moment I finally answered, though, the caller just disconnected.

Whenever I receive a call from an unknown number without any name or message, I simply let my answering machine take over. If they can't be bothered to leave a message, they're getting BLOCKED! This goes for landlines as well.

Received a dodgy call regarding a supposed washing machine warranty. It’s comical how some individuals assume we’re all gullible!

Beware of the washing machine warranty con!

I usually let my voicemail take over when I receive calls from numbers that aren’t saved in my contacts and they don’t leave any messages. So, that one’s been BLOCKED! Incoming landline calls, mind you.

I missed the call and there was no voicemail left, which clearly indicates it's just another bothersome call.

I received a call from 01554582003, but there was complete silence on the other end, so I decided to end the call.

A woman rang me up, but she didn’t disclose the name of her company. She was prattling on about some warranty for a washing machine. When I inquired about the specific model, she mentioned a brand I can’t quite recall. When I told her that I didn’t own that particular brand, she abruptly terminated the call. It's clear this was a dodgy scam call.

I received a call regarding the warranty for our washing machine, but when I informed them that we didn't possess one, they abruptly ended the call. Quite unprofessional, if you ask me.

The answering machine picked up, but then they just dropped the call.

Avoid this number, it’s a dodgy call – best not to engage.

I received a rather unexpected phone call from a woman with an Indian accent who purportedly wanted to inform me that my washing machine insurance had lapsed. This strike me as quite odd since I had enrolled in a Homecare plan with Curry’s back in November, which is supposed to be valid until November 2025. When I requested that she send a renewal notification via post, she informed me that this wasn’t possible. Frustrated by this rather suspicious exchange, it became clear that I was dealing with a scammer, so I promptly ended the call. Moreover, I encountered yet another individual with an Indian accent, this time a chap who called not only yesterday but also today, claiming to represent Openreach regarding my internet connection. Recognizing it as yet another scam, I simply told him I wasn't interested and terminated the conversation. It’s becoming rather tiresome, to be honest!

I’m absolutely fed up with receiving calls from 01554582003, persistently enquiring about a certain ‘Mrs Waters’. I don’t have a clue who she is, nor has she ever resided here, I assure you! Every single time my phone rings with that number, I take the time to request that they update their files and refrain from contacting me again. The response is always the same: “Certainly, Madam,” as if it’s all sorted, yet nothing ever changes! What a nuisance!

I seem to receive an influx of such calls around this time annually on a rarely used landline, which I only provided on my council tax form a couple of months back. Strange coincidence, isn't it?

I keep receiving calls from this number, yet nobody seems to be on the other end. It’s likely a duplicated landline, and the actual person behind it is completely unaware.

The number isn’t recognised, and it went straight to voicemail – just crickets on the line.

I've no clue who that was; I just dialled 1471. Honestly, these daft timewasters must reckon we're all a bit slow on the uptake!

I picked up the call, and a woman’s voice came through rather quietly. She mentioned a name of someone she wanted to reach. When I requested her to say it again, she abruptly hung up. The name she inquired about definitely wasn't mine.

I picked up the phone, but there was complete silence on the other end, so I just ended the call.

I didn’t answer the call, and they didn’t bother to leave a message. Seems like it’s likely a scam!

Just received a call, but they didn't bother to leave a message on the voicemail. Quite odd, really!

I received a rather peculiar call that seemed to originate from a call centre. After a lengthy pause, a woman eventually greeted me. I responded with my own ‘hello,’ yet there was an eerie silence on the line thereafter. Honestly, I've no clue what the purpose of the call was.

A lady is on the hunt for her son, who departed from our lives two decades back.

The call went unanswered, and there was no voicemail left behind.

I received a phone call from a woman inquiring about my wife directly. When I mentioned that she wasn’t around at the moment and offered to relay a message, the caller abruptly ended the conversation. Seems like it might be yet another telemarketing attempt or some sort of scam, if you ask me.

Received a call from a number I don't recognise, but they didn't leave any voicemail.

It’s a call centre, isn’t it?

Received a call that was completely silent; nobody on the other end, then it just disconnected.

An Indian gentleman informed me that the warranty on my washing machine had expired. When I inquired about where I had purchased it, he simply mentioned "The Homecare shop." This name meant nothing to me, and I began to suspect he might be trying to pull a fast one. He then wished me well and abruptly ended the call. Strange, indeed!

I've received calls from this number for ages now. They've been informed time and again to quit ringing me, yet they persist.

Received a call with no one on the other end, so I just ended it.

Received a call with no one on the other end, so I silenced the phone and popped off to prepare my lunch. Ten minutes ticked by without a peep. Eventually, I hung up and decided to block the number.

Received another dodgy call regarding a washing machine warranty – stay vigilant!

Had a silent ring just now. When I answered, there was utter silence and then the call dropped. I've gone ahead and notified Ofcom about it: https://ofcomforms.secure.force.com/formentry/SitesFormCCTSilentCalls Should you receive any unsolicited sales pitches, make sure to file a complaint here: https://www.tpsonline.org.uk/complaint

I received a phone call from a lady who kept greeting me, but despite my attempts to respond, the line unexpectedly fell silent. Quite odd, really!
