1 yearI had no idea they called, then noticed a red warning from phone security saying it was spam.1 yearGot a call from some lot offering me business loans at just 3%! Total scam, obviously. Put them straight on the block.2 yearsI keep getting calls from the same number trying to sell me loans, feels like a total scam. They just won't stop ringing.2 yearsGot a call from this number, and the bloke with an Asian accent was trying to sell me a business loan for £25,000. I just ended the call straight away. Then the same number rang again, this time someone was pushing a credit card machine with cheap rental fees. I wasn’t having any of it and told them off. Definitely a scam!2 yearsOur office phone has been getting blasted with calls nonstop, making it impossible to use. So, I’ve started giving out their number to other scammers as a sort of payback.2 yearsBlocked because it looked like a scam.2 yearsCaller said they worked for "The Energy Department" in London, even though the number had a Manchester area code.Energy DepartmentLondonManchester3 yearsSomebody rang me up about business loans, which I declined. Then they quickly switched to trying to sell card machines.3 yearsAnother nuisance to add to my blocked callers! This bloke kept hassling me for passport info, bank paperwork, business details, and my mobile number, asking me to send everything to some dodgy email at [email protected]. Claimed my new card reader was due Friday. Even after calling him out for being a scammer, he wouldn’t drop it. Honestly enjoyed messing about and wasting his time though!3 yearsGot a call from some dodgy card machine scam, just ended the call and blocked them straight away.3 yearsHonestly, I can barely keep up with the number of dodgy calls I get every single day - had to block loads just this morning. It’s getting ridiculous!3 yearsSomeone with a really thick foreign accent called me up, trying to sell a loan for “around 10 to 20 grand.” I told them I wasn’t interested and they just hung up. Just a heads up: don’t ever use the ring-back feature if they hang up first! I read about a case where someone did that and got scammed. Often, that’s exactly what the caller wants - to trick you into calling a premium number or something dodgy. Plus, by ringing back, you’re basically confirming you’re interested, so they might start bugging you more or sell your info to other scammers.3 yearsAs soon as I picked up, they hung up straight away. Tried to ring them back but it just said the number isn’t available. What’s the point of all this?3 yearsThese scammers are such a nuisance! I got a call saying I had to get a new credit card machine. It’s so annoying how they keep pestering folks who’ve got better things to do. Why isn’t something done about this?3 yearsKeeps ringing me daily, even after I've said I'm not interested. Proper annoying!3 yearsThere was this guy with an Indian accent who was really rude when I said the owner wasn’t around. He kept asking me, "Why?" like it was some kind of joke or something. Proper annoying.3 yearsGot annoyed since they called me like 5 times without even saying sorry. Proper rude!3 yearsAbsolutely awful experience. He had the business owner’s name completely wrong, and when I corrected him, he accused me of lying! Then, when I asked where he was ringing from, he just started shouting and being really rude.3 yearsGot a call from 01612620616 about some card machine deal, told them I’m not interested and they just started shouting at me. Proper rude and pushy with their cold call. Not one bit polite!3 yearsGot a call about a card reader scam, really frustrating! 😡4 yearsHe's been ringing me continuously, hurling insults and behaving in an utterly harassing manner.4 yearsIt’s usually someone from the power company or card machine firms ringing me up. They get really rude if you don’t go along with what they say.4 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with a card machine firm, but they never gave a name. Then the phone got handed to another person who barely spoke English, repeating they were from a card machine company. I told them I wasn’t interested. They asked me why. I said I was tired of getting calls multiple times a day about card machines and asked them to remove my number from their calling list. They said they weren’t able to do that, then just hung up on me.4 yearsBeware of this dodgy outfit attempting to pull a fast one on businesses with their imaginary card readers and bogus loan offers. When I confronted the caller, they didn’t take kindly to being labelled a scammer. Seriously, this number should be added to the blocklist immediately!4 yearsGot a call about my card reader.. I said I’m not interested but they kept ringing me back four times.4 yearsReceived yet another call claiming to be from my card provider, who, mind you, doesn’t even have a local office in Manchester. When I probed, asking, "Which company would that be, then?" I was met with nothing but evasive and cheeky remarks. After the first encounter, I firmly told them I was under contract and had no intention of engaging further. By the fourth time they rang, I was fuming, as they were hogging my phone line and preventing me from connecting with my clients. To top it off, they had the audacity to ask why I was 'in tears' - well, that was pure frustration, not weeping! By the seventh call, we blasted some loud sounds down the line and simply abandoned the call; the last one got routed straight to the voicemail. I am utterly appalled that any company permits such relentless harassment and displays such sheer arrogance, rudeness and deceitfulness from their so-called sales representatives.Manchester4 yearsExtremely forceful and unpleasant.4 yearsReceived an incessant flurry of calls from this number, all about card machines. I turned them down six times, yet the caller was relentless, pressuring me for reasons each time I disconnected. It felt rather unnerving, honestly. I found myself responding every time, just to ensure it wasn't someone truly needing assistance. I kept telling him to cease his calls, labelling his behaviour as harassment, but he just kept ringing back straight away. In the end, I had no choice but to let the phone ring out.Submit Your Own Report (0161 262 0616)
