These past few days, my phone's been buzzing non-stop. This morning, I picked up to hear some Indian lady saying she was calling from BT, telling me my internet was at risk or whatever. I told her just to send me something in writing (bet she can’t even give a proper address) and then I just hung up on her! I'd steer clear of numbers like 01614387934 or something alike.

I received a call from someone claiming to be from Morrison's, offering a £50 voucher. They accurately repeated my postcode and then asked for a bit of personal info like my age, whether I'm married, and even my favourite colour. After all the chit-chat, they just thanked me and wished me a lovely day.

Noticed a missed call but there wasnt any voicemail or message. Decided to look up the number on here first. As soon as I found out what it was, I blocked it straight away so it cant ring me anymore. For those still getting pest calls from this number, sort your phone out with a block feature instead of just putting up with it!

Over the past couple of days, this number has rung me up about six times on my home phone. Luckily, I have a blocking feature set up that stops unwanted calls, because each time they phoned, the caller just stayed silent and then ended the call. After seeing what other people have said here, it’s clear they’re up to no good, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number for good.

In the past few days, this number has rung me up about 5 times. I’ve ignored all the calls since I don’t recognise it, and there’s no voicemail left when I don’t pick up. Sounds like it’s probably some annoying sales call to me.

Got a call from some Asian bloke claiming I’d won a Tesco voucher just for picking up. I told him I’m on the Telephone Preference Service and he just cut off straight away. No doubt about it, total scammer.

Got a call earlier from a guy who sounded young and had a Chinese accent. He said he was calling from Tesco or something like that. Started asking about if I'd bought a house recently and if I'd lost any money on investments. When I asked what Tesco would need to know about that, he just cut me off and hung up. Seemed fishy to me, same story I've heard from others around here.

Got a call from some guy asking if I was Mrs Johnson, so I asked who was speaking. The Indian bloke just hung up straight away. They've called two times in the space of 20 minutes now. Proper annoying!

They said they were from Tesco and that I’d won a £50 voucher just by picking up the phone. Seems like a load of rubbish though - as soon as I questioned them, they ended the call really fast. Total scam if you ask me!

Would be great if we could 'like' some of these comments! I wasn’t quick enough to grab the phone and find out which irritating timewaster was calling to bother me. Missed my chance to shout “scammers!” - usually scares ’em off. I’m quite annoyed they’ve changed me from a calm and polite person into, well, a screaming nightmare. It was nearly 8.30 in the evening, really feeling like a privacy invasion.

Got a call at my vet clinic with someone asking for a Johnson. I figured they might be booking an appointment so I asked, but they just ended the call. Probably spotted it wasn’t a home number.

These 0161 268 8493 people keep ringing me up about some accident that I've never been in. I wasn't exactly polite when I told them to get lost. Total waste of time, just annoying sales chancers who can't find proper work and keep pestering honest folks. Proper mugs if you ask me!

It’s like clockwork - I get calls from all sorts of numbers, but I reckon it’s the same bunch behind them. Numbers like 01612688493 and 0161995179 keep ringing me, sometimes twice daily. Proper annoying!

Today at 6.58pm a bloke with a south east Asian accent, not Indian, rang me up asking for my daughter, saying he was from Tesco. When I asked for his name, he said it was Shane and insisted on speaking to her. I then questioned which Tesco branch he was calling from, but he just ended the call. I've blocked the number with BT's call protect, but since these numbers are often false, I expect they'll try again from another bogus one.

Got a call around half past seven in the evening from an American woman who asked if I was Mr xxxx, then just hung up on me. Another pointless call wasting my time, probably a scam. Now I bet I’ll get even more calls since they know my number’s active. Honestly, whoever’s behind this should find a proper job and stop bothering people!

I've been receiving calls from this number repeatedly, yet every time I pick up, there's only silence on the other end. It's quite baffling!

Had a call from a woman with an Asian accent who somehow knew my name, address, and postcode. She claimed I'd won £50 in Morrison's vouchers - yeah, right! Then she went on about my favourite colour and even asked who my gas supplier was. She tried guessing my age and said I was likely married and a homeowner, which is totally not true. After that, she asked if I had life insurance. By that point, I was done with her, but I kept chatting just to waste her time so she wouldn't bother anyone else. Typical scammers!

Pretty sure that was just another fraud call. I picked up, barely said anything, and hung up. These cheeky scams are getting out of control, and really, the businesses who can actually stop it need to step up already.

this number called me but the phone just clicked off as soon as i picked up, no useful info there. big thanks to everyone else who shared what they talked about with this number, it's stopped me wondering who it was on the other end.

Amanda was so rude, I wanted to know where she got my number from and she just ended the call on me. These folks are so pushy.

Got a call from someone with a typical Asian accent claiming to be from Tesco about a survey. My son handed the phone over to me and suddenly she said it was Morrisons? Offered me a chance to win £308 worth of vouchers. I told her no thanks, my closest Morrisons is about 20 miles out, so no point travelling. Also told her my number isn't on any list and not to ring me again. Bet they'll be back though.

I got called two times today, but as soon as I said hello, they just hung up. I’m on the TPS list, so I usually don’t get that many annoying calls.

They rang me earlier today pretending to be from UKIP, asking me to confirm my address. They mentioned an old one from about ten years back, so I just said yes and ended the call quickly.

Got a ring from this number saying I’d won a £60 Tesco voucher. The lady on the phone tried working out how old I was by my voice, which I didn’t really say if was right or wrong. Then she went on about me being happily married and having a nice home (she had my address but I didn’t admit or deny it). When I asked why she was calling, she cut me off and ended the call right as I was telling her to either just post the voucher or leave me alone.
