4 yearsGot a call from some guy from India asking if I was the owner of the business, honestly getting really fed up with these idiots now.India4 yearsI got a call from a really stressed out lady with an accent that sounded Indian, insisting she was from 118. She kept yelling “are you the business owner?” over and over. Just another annoying cold call breaking my concentration.4 yearsHad a bothersome call earlier from someone wanting to chat with the person who owns the house. Annoying, to say the least!4 yearsI received a rather dodgy call from someone who claimed they needed to chat with the property owner. Quite suspicious, to say the least!4 years"Hello, I'm ringing on behalf of 118, the foremost directory service in the UK..." "I'm afraid I'm not keen on hearing about 118's promotions." "Could I speak with the business owner? Is he around?" "That's me, and I’m not interested." "But you haven’t heard what I’m discussing! I’m calling for 118, the top provider in the UK..." "Pray tell, where exactly are you calling from? If you’re merely representing 118 and not them directly, I'm rather uninterested in entertaining unsolicited calls from dodgy firms attempting to sell me things." "I'm really not inclined to engage with insignificant companies like yours." "Then do one, will you?" I hung up, utterly fed up with this nonsense day in and day out; the TPS doesn’t seem to help either, as they blatantly disregard it.118UKTPS4 yearsWe've been getting calls from this number every single day, always wanting to talk to the person in charge of finances.
