I missed a call from this number, so I rang them back. But there was a message saying it was a scam and that someone was using their number without permission. Seems like this number's been spoofed or something.

I’m totally fed up with these calls - every single day I get about 4 different unknown numbers ringing me! I’ve ended up blocking more than 100 numbers on my phone now. Honestly, I’ve had it with all this nonsense.

Just got home after work and found a voicemail from this number. It was just some woman making weird groaning noises. Ive got my gran, shes 87 and lives by herself, so it really freaked me out. I had to call her straight away to make sure she was alright. What the heck is that about?

Got a call from this number at around 9.09 this morning. A lady was on the line asking to confirm my name and address, but both were wrong in her info. She then asked me to tell her the right details, but I refused. After that, she just hung up. I've blocked the number since.

Got a call from some Indian bloke who clearly had nothing else going on. Honestly, just piss off 01612228888!

I answered a call from this number about 10 in the morning today. I kept saying 'Hello' but there was nothing but silence on the other end. Suddenly, I heard a beep and then someone with an Asian accent just said 'Goodbye' before hanging up straight away. Quite strange!

YET ANOTHER BLOODY TIMEWASTER!

I answered the phone with a simple hello, but there was nothing but silence for a few seconds. Then out of nowhere, a woman’s voice said 'goodbye' - which was honestly pretty unsettling. Normally, I just let calls go to voicemail, but I was waiting for a call so I decided to answer this time.

Is there any way to figure out who this company actually is and make them stop ringing me? It’s driving me mad!!!

Had a few calls now from someone saying they're from UK Preference. They’re really pushy and quite rude too. This is the third time they've rung me.

Got a call early this morning at about 8:40 on 30/09/2016, but I never pick up unknown numbers since I have an answering machine. No message was left, so clearly it wasn’t important. If it was someone I know, they’d just ring my mobile. Been registered with TPS for ages now, but it doesn’t seem to stop these pointless calls. It’s honestly getting ridiculous.

Got a call this morning around 9:30. The bloke asked straight away for me by my name. I asked who it was, and he said he had some questions to ask. I just said "No thanks" and ended the call.

I got a call this morning around half past eight from a number I didn't know, so I just let it ring out to voicemail. Of course, no message was left. These rubbish callers are the worst, honestly. When will someone take proper action against these nuisances?

Got another annoying call from a number that clearly doesn’t care about the TPS list. Sounded like someone from overseas. Honestly, just put it straight on block.

This number has called me twice already. The first time I told them I wasn’t bothered and they replied with “Oh shut up,” which felt pretty rude. Then the second call ended with “clear off.” That definitely raised some red flags for me. Yesterday was when this happened, and just now I got another call from the same number.

Got a call earlier, but it just went to voicemail. Somehow ended up on the TPA list now. Anyone knows how they manage to get past the screening?

I called asking for Mr Hobson, but the person said no one with that name lives there and then just ended the call.

Loads of calls from different numbers but all sound like the same person. It’s an Indian accent and they just don’t stop ringing me!

Got a call today from someone with an Asian accent claiming to be conducting a customer service survey. It’s the same person who’s phoned me off and on, even though I keep blocking their numbers. They keep tweaking the digits so they can still get through - definitely feels like a scam attempt.

I got a call from someone who sounded like he was from abroad. It was a bit quick, didn’t let him talk too much, but he did know my name which was a bit odd.
