They told me I was due a refund on my credit card and offered to assist me in claiming it. When I asked where they had my info from, they just said they were trying to help. I said I'd check with my bank about it, and then they started swearing at me, calling me a sad f***ing bastard before hanging up. About ten minutes later, they rang me again.

They've rung me several times but I didn’t pick up so no message was left. I’m just gonna block it now.

This number popped up on my phone earlier. It rang while I wasn’t home and the caller ID showed Manchester. I don’t have any contacts in Manchester, but since I’ve had dodgy calls from the north before, I didn’t answer. Instead, I looked up the number online, which I usually do with strange calls. Then I blocked it. It’s best to ignore and verify unknown numbers, in my opinion.

It’s quite frustrating to see that the authorities in this country are seemingly inactive while these nuisances persist! This number, 01612497629, has been ringing my phone repeatedly throughout the day, and I’ve finally decided to block it. Honestly, it feels like OFCOM is just twiddling their thumbs instead of taking action. It’s high time they did something substantial for the public they’re supposed to protect!

Got calls from some dodgy insurance firm in Manchester - ended up blocking their number, along with the other 0161 ones they keep ringing me from. Wish I could turn my number into a premium rate line, then I’d pick up, keep them chatting and make a few quid!

They’ve been ringing me non-stop, nine times over the past week! 🤬 I had a hunch it could be linked to that ‘we buy any car’ lot, especially since I’ve only just blocked them! It’s quite vexing! 😫 I don’t mind returning a call if they bother to leave a message, but it’s clear it’s just a marketing ploy or something trivial!

It's incredibly frustrating to receive calls multiple times a day-three or four, to be precise. It's such a nuisance! One has to wonder why no one, not even the likes of Ofcom or BT, seems to take action to put an end to these unwanted distractions. There are certainly plenty of folks out there voicing their grievances about this issue!
