Some dodgy insurance caller had all my details and when I asked him, he hung up then tried calling back but the line was dead. This could be really risky for older folks who might fall for it without realising.

Got two calls from this number today but didn’t pick up. After seeing what people are saying here, I'm thinking of just blocking it now.

This bloke was really cheeky and full of himself, kept insisting he wasn’t trying to sell me anything. He said his firm gets 39% cut from refunds they get from banks charging too much interest. Totally dodgy from beginning to end. I called him out for being a bloodsucker and he just started getting proper nasty.

Didnt pick up and no voicemail either. Decided to look them up here, really happy I did!

These persistent callers are clearly flouting the law. I've made a formal request under the GDPR to have my information erased and to cease all communications with me, but it appears to be falling on deaf ears. It's quite frustrating! I genuinely believe there should be legal action taken against them under the new GDPR rules that have recently been put in place.

Pension, PPI, all that rubbish, I really don't want calls from them. Even once I explain I have none of those or any issues and ask to be removed from their list, they keep ringing. Why on earth can't they be stopped for good?

These bloody muppets ring nonstop, just letting it ring twice then off. Do they even believe anyone will ring back? Honestly, I’d love to catch these tossers in person and give them a right good beating with something sturdy!

These idiots ring me loads every day, just letting it ring twice then dropping the call. Do they honestly expect me to call them back? Honestly, I'd love to run into these muppets in person and give them a right good thrashing with a bit of garden fence.

This number has rang me 5 times today, finally picked up on the 5th call. It was someone trying to talk about ppi. I just ended up blocking it after that.

Some PPI firm keep ringing me non stop even after I told them to stop. Had an argument with one of their reps and it stressed me loads. Honestly, if I bumped into him I'd be tempted to give him a good punch. They refused to take me off their list, which is just not on. Totally unnecessary stress, feels shady and dodgy to me. Best to steer clear of them.

Likely just some scammy losers with no life, best to just block the tw@ts.

They’ve rang me three times already today and it’s only just gone 2:45pm. When you try calling back, all you get is some automated voice.

I rang back and got an automated voice from something called “the ppi team” asking for my personal info like name, email and home address to opt out. Like I’m gonna give them anything! All they’ve got so far is my number. Does anyone know how I can report this to Ofcom?

This number has bugged me like 4 times already today and it’s only half past four. I’ve tried being polite but they said I haven’t talked to the person yet so how could I know what they want. Honestly, I’m fed up now, so I just pick up and leave the phone next to the telly since they don’t seem to understand a simple no.

I've gotten around 10 calls from them this week. They rang me 3 times just today. I never picked up but they just keep trying.

They're a proper pain, every time I block one, they ring from a different number. It's really frustrating, had 4 calls in the last 3 hours alone. Don't pick up - just block any calls starting with 161 straight away. If it's important, they'll leave a voicemail.
