For the past three months, this number has kept buzzing my phone daily, sometimes even three times each day. I blocked it so my phone doesn't ring anymore, but checking my call log, I can see they're still persistent and haven't stopped trying. At one point, they switched the last digit from an 8 to a 7, but now it looks like they're back to the original number ending with 8 again.

They just keep ringing and refuse to say who they are. It's so frustrating!

I keep getting calls almost daily, sometimes even twice in one day. I let it ring and go to voicemail but there’s never any message left. I’m 81 and honestly, it’s starting to really worry and annoy me.

This number’s been ringing my BT landline around 3 to 5 times daily, but luckily my phone blocks it each time. Thank goodness for that!

My mum keeps getting calls from this number loads of times each day.

This number has been ringing me nearly every day for weeks, sometimes 3 or 4 times daily. The one time I picked up, a man with an African accent said he was from a news organisation. Knowing that company is based in Stoke on Trent made me suspicious straight away. They attempted to get my bank details but I didn’t give anything away. After that, the calls kept coming, but now I’ve blocked the number so they can’t get through anymore. I’ve also reported the constant nuisance to my phone network along with the number.

I don't pick up at all. Even though I've blocked them, they somehow manage to get through now and then, sometimes calling two or three times almost daily. It's really annoying and feels like harassment.

For the past couple of weeks, I've been getting calls from this number like 2 or 3 times a day, a few days each week. Whenever I pick up, there's just silence on the other end. Sounds like it's gotta be some kind of scam, right?

I've had this woman ringing me constantly, sometimes multiple times a day, even on Sundays. I've told them over and over to quit calling me so often but it just keeps happening.

Some bloke rang me claiming he was from the News Group, asking if I still bought papers. Knew it was a setup to get me to admit I read them, but I don’t entertain cold callers like that. Told him I don’t and to quit bothering me. Ended up blocking the number.

Turns out it’s Utility Warehouse using these robot calls that keep ringing until someone picks up, then they put you through to a real person.

This number rang my husband twice within a day, both times showing up as Manchester. The first call yesterday was just some strange rustling sound, then this morning there was music playing. No one left a voicemail or anything. I’ve gone ahead and blocked it now. Seems pretty dodgy to me.

My Norton popped up a warning saying it was probably spam, so I just let it ring out and didn't pick up. After reading what others said here, I decided to block the number and get rid of it.

This number rings me up loads of times, usually several times a day. My phone automatically blocks it and tags it as ‘spam’, but it still keeps coming through - likely some kind of robocaller. I’ve never picked up, and although I blocked it, I doubt that stops them. The 0161 code shows it’s from Manchester, but I’ve no clue why someone from there would be trying to reach me.

Every single day my phone rings from the same number; it labels it as a 'probable spam' which is helpful, but honestly, it still drives me mad.

This number has been ringing me up five times lately, on top of getting loads from 01612 400017. I've gone ahead and blocked them already because I’m not having any more of these annoying calls interrupting me. If they’re trying to hassle people that much, it’s just not on.
