Paid for three letters but received nothing of value. We shared half of our card details, only to be told this was the third letter of the week. We clearly communicated our disinterest, yet the individual on the other end just hung up! Complete waste of time.

We have no need for eFax services, as we aren’t operating a business. Kindly refrain from reaching out to us in the future. Thank you.

We had a rather unpleasant experience with the same individual-very confrontational indeed! The moment we probed him about how he knew we were allegedly inundated with junk mail (which, I might add, is simply not the case), he promptly hung up. When we tried to ring back, we found the line constantly engaged. It left us feeling like we were dealing with a bit of a rogue scoundrel.

It's absolutely ridiculous, honestly! I can't fathom why they only gave a card number without any other information. I tried to ring back but couldn't get through at all. Now, I'm left with no choice but to cancel my bank card. I usually never share my numbers; I must have been utterly daft to let this happen!

I received a call from this number earlier today, touting some "exciting" chance to be rid of nuisance calls! I allowed him to prattle on until he mentioned a £3 "registration fee." The moment we interjected, highlighting that the call was unwelcome rubbish, and that such antics should be done elsewhere, he promptly hung up on me! What cheek!

This chap has rung us thrice, relentlessly demanding our card number. Each time we firmly rejected his requests, stating quite clearly that we wouldn't hand it over! As elderly ladies, we found his persistence rather alarming. It's abundantly clear to us now that this was a scam, and we'll be reporting him without delay!

It seems, from the initial comment, that this has been happening for quite some time now, possibly since last year. We've also experienced numerous missed calls from this number. Earlier today, the caller managed to get through to us at last. A woman on the line claimed to be with UK Data Controllers and went on about their plans to eradicate cold calls. We engaged in conversation but decided to look up the organisation and found no legitimate website. Then, out of the blue, she requested a £3 admin fee. At that moment, we politely declined, and she hung up rather abruptly!

We recently received a call from a rather official-sounding gentleman who spoke to Shaun. The woman on the line was incredibly persuasive, to the point where we felt quite guilty admitting that we couldn’t fully trust her, despite her claims of seeking to shield us from potential scams! I’m just wondering who we could report these individuals to in order to put a stop to their activities? I’ve tried reaching out to Trading Standards, but it seems quite unclear whether they would be the appropriate authority to take action. Moreover, their website is rather unhelpful when it comes to figuring out how to report such matters - one would think it should be a straightforward process!

Received a call today from a number listed as "UK Data Controllers", though the digits were withheld. I checked the number through 1471 shortly after. The caller had a script that was eerily similar to previous reports I've seen about this outfit, trying to peddle a service for a mere £3 a month. When I calculated that to £36 a year, the caller was quick to correct me, claiming it was only £29.99 annually. I made it clear that I didn't see the value in paying £30 a year for it, and just like that, the line went dead. Quite the experience!

We recently received a call from a lady insisting we needed to pay £3 using our bank card to avoid receiving unwanted junk mail. We thought it utterly foolish to share any card details over the phone, especially since we didn’t recognise her identity. As soon as we voiced our concerns, she promptly hung up on us! That’s what prompted us to look up the number online, leading us to this site.

Received a similar call earlier today, all the way from the United Kingdom DATA CONTROLLERS. They identified themselves as "Mr. ***** ?" and proceeded to mention they were aware of my increased troubles with pesky calls and spam emails. Naturally, we ended up hanging up on them straight away. Another unsolicited call, we thought! I did a 1471 to track the number. It's baffling how these strangers have our contact details! Occasionally, I let them hold on while I feign searching for someone to speak to-my how long they must wait! Though, I take a certain pleasure in knowing I've wasted more of their time than they have of mine.

In the days when this operated as a catalogue venture, we held no interest whatsoever. Kindly refrain from calling us again.

We experienced something quite similar, to be honest. The chap was incredibly belligerent and hung up the instant we started asking him how he knew about our so-called influx of junk mail, which I can assure you isn’t true. When we tried to ring the number again, we just got a busy tone. It felt distinctly like some sort of dodgy scam!

As a former member of staff at this establishment, I can assure you that it’s nothing short of a sham. They employ underhanded methods for their sales strategy; if you choose not to subscribe to their services, they make it a point to dump your contact information onto every conceivable marketing list out there. This results in a barrage of nuisance calls that makes your phone a ringing nightmare. Subsequently, they’ll come knocking again, attempting to peddle their services, which, by the way, are equally ineffective. Moreover, it’s worth mentioning that one of the directors has just wrapped up a prison sentence for actual bodily harm, which raises significant concerns about the company’s integrity. Do yourself a favour and steer well clear of this outfit. And for anyone feeling aggrieved by their practices, why not reach out directly to one of the directors? You can send your grievances to his residential address: Mr Kevin Thurston 222 Fakenham Road Norwich NR8 6QN Alternatively, you’re welcome to give him a call on his mobile: 07856 376449.

I received a call from this number earlier today, where the chap was going on about how I could finally escape all those pesky nuisance calls. I let him prattle on for a bit until he started mentioning a "registration fee" of sorts. Once we interjected to inform him that this was clearly an unwelcome call and nothing more than rubbish, he abruptly hung up on me! Quite cheeky, really!

We received a call from 0160323027, and it seems they’re keen on pestering us three times a week. If it’s not the incessant junk mail, it’s the constant phone calls. Quite tedious, really!

Received a call that mirrored the last one I got, only this time the bloke on the other end claimed to represent a government-affiliated company that’s supposed to tackle those pesky cold calls and telemarketing nuisances. The kicker? There’s a three quid fee for registration! Naturally, I got a whiff of something dodgy, and decided to ask for some pamphlet to peruse in my own time. However, the minute I mentioned that, he abruptly hung up. Wouldn't surprise me if it’s a scam!
