I recently received a call from this number. I answered, but there was complete silence on the other end. It didn't seem to cross their minds that the quirky ringtone might indicate I’m off on a little getaway!

Earlier today, a person called us claiming to represent this company, insisting that we had been part of an accident that wasn't our doing. This was the first inkling I’d had about any such incident, and Lord knows we were meant to be present for it! The caller then tried to pry information out of us regarding our insurance provider, but we firmly told her to take a hike before hanging up. If you receive a call from these people, I'd advise you to do exactly the same.

This number has been calling us daily for more than a month now. Initially, we chose to let it ring off, but one day we finally answered out of sheer curiosity. To our annoyance, though, as soon as we did, they hung up without saying a word. It’s been quite frustrating, to say the least!

Constant silent calls can be exceedingly annoying, especially when I’m in the midst of work! They always seem to pop up at the most inconvenient moments. It's infuriating!

This number has been ringing me daily, but as soon as I pick up the call, it disconnects straightaway. Quite odd, really!

I received a call from this number earlier today claiming to be representing our insurance provider, and they requested confirmation of our name. However, when we pressed them for details about which insurer they were affiliated with, they spouted some nonsense about the Data Protection Act preventing them from sharing such information. We then replied with the same reasoning, and the operator abruptly thanked us before hanging up. Here’s hoping they don’t try this nonsense again. If they’ve obtained our number legitimately, they ought to be able to identify us without any hassle.

This number is associated with ULR, or the Uninsured Loss Recovery group. They specialise in handling claims related to non-fault motor incidents and personal injuries.

I’m absolutely fed up with these endless calls that keep coming in around twenty past four every single day. They claim to be following up about an accident-one that I’ve never had anything to do with, mind you! Strangely enough, we started receiving texts about similar issues right around the same time, so it’s all rather suspicious. To whomever is in charge of this mess, I kindly ask you to erase my details from your system forthwith. It’s high time this nonsense stopped!

Our mate just received a call from these folks inquiring about us on her personal mobile! It’s utterly baffling how they got hold of her number linked to us! I had a little mishap back in December, but it was just a minor scrape and all's well now, so I’m left flummoxed. How on earth do these individuals know who your friends are?!

I've just received yet another of those infuriating silent calls from CAMELION TELE SALES. After ringing back the last number, I actually managed to get through. They prattled on about how my details were in their system and that the calls were all documented (I was utterly baffled). I firmly told them to remove our name from their database immediately, or we’d be lodging a complaint. The person assured me they were taking care of it right then and there. I’m definitely keen to see how this pans out!

Received calls from 01612494497, but the line goes silent as soon as we pick up. It’s rather worrying, and we genuinely hope we aren’t hit with any charges for this nuisance, especially with all the chatter about it of late.

I've been getting calls from this number on a daily basis, and it's rather vexing. The callers don’t utter a word, yet you can hear chatter in the background. After a moment of silence, they just hang up, which is incredibly annoying as it disturbs my little one’s sleep each morning.

For the past few days, this number has been incessantly ringing me, but I've either overlooked it or just let it go to voicemail, given that I’m usually busy with work or at university. I’ve just hopped out of the shower and there it is again-another missed call from that same pesky number. It’s quite annoying, to be honest!

I've noticed that whenever these folks call, they outright refuse to share any details about their company. It’s infuriating! Despite my registration with the Telephone Preference Service, they keep pestering me. We’ve gone ahead and lodged a complaint with TPS about these annoying calls.

We’ve been getting calls from this company daily, and occasionally even twice a day for more than a month now, without them ever leaving a message. I finally answered one of their calls today, only for them to drop the line immediately-absolutely infuriating! Our insurance provider hasn’t got a clue about these nuisance calls.

I’ve just noticed a missed call from this number on my mobile, but there’s no voicemail. We had previously taken out vehicle insurance with Fortis.

We're getting hounded by these callers on my dad's number, often two or three times a day. Every time my mum picks up, they just hang up on her. Recently, she got another call and they hung up once more. She decided to ring them back and they answered as ULR. When she mentioned the constant calls, they asked for her mobile number. After she provided it, they claimed they had no record of anything to do with him, which is rather odd, considering they’ve never called her mobile in the first place!

This number has been ringing us incessantly for the past week-sometimes once a day, occasionally even twice! It's infuriating as there's never a single word spoken the moment we pick up or leave a message. I’m honestly getting quite fed up with it all, so I've decided to just decline their calls whenever they come through. It's seriously getting on my nerves now!

I've come across a company that goes by the name Chameleon, providing insurance services. They operate out of both Manchester and Los Angeles. I've noticed they ring from numbers like 0845 6881233 and 0161 4953884, among others. Here's a tip: when you spot their number on your caller ID, it’s best to avoid picking up-eventually, they'll get tired of calling. If you're curious to learn more, their website is http://chameleontelesalesltd.co.uk/, where you'll find all their contact information and address listed.
