They just keep ringing over and over! I never pick up.

Someone rang the shop phone while I was working and wanted to talk to the person “in charge” or something like that. Could barely catch what they were saying, and when I asked them to speak louder, they just started making fun of me. So I ended up hanging up and blocking the number straight away.

Rang the firm and asked to speak to the owner, but he wasn’t keen on talking. Ended up telling me to shut up.

This number has been ringing us relentlessly for the past couple of days. Each time, I've been met with nothing but nasty comments. The last call, the person had the audacity to liken my voice to that of a barking dog! It's utterly ridiculous how impolite they are. As others have mentioned, it’s baffling what their game is-seems they’re just eager for a chance to be obnoxious.

What an absolute nightmare! These calls just keep coming, and as soon as I pick up, they hang up! Just a moment ago, some bloke claimed to be from Commercial Utility Services. I’ve already told them twice over the past fortnight to take me off their list, as I have zero interest in their nonsense - it strikes me as nothing but a scam. Then the chap had the audacity to suggest I register with TPS if I’m unhappy! Seriously, can you not just stop ringing me? It’s beyond infuriating!

Seems like our business info has been handed around to loads of energy companies (got tons of calls in just a few days #eyeroll#), and this bloke has rung twice. First time he just breathed heavily down the line then hung up, and the second time, a lady at work picked up and he just giggled quietly and then hung up. Proper cheerful chap, that one.

Proper rude lot, swearing the place down! Best ignore them if you can. They keep ringing even after you ask them to leave you alone. Someone really should do something to stop these muppets hassling folks to change their energy providers. Absolute shower of clowns.

Got a call earlier today. They refused to say which company they were from, only mentioning "Commercial Services" and dodged when I asked for more info. Definitely felt like some sneaky tactic to push us into changing our energy supplier. I've gone ahead and blocked the number now!

Got constant calls from some bloke with a Liverpool accent, keepin' on about wanting to talk to the 'owner'. When I asked where he was ringin' from, he said the Registration Department but wouldn’t say which firm. He got quite rude and aggressive after a bit. He’s called me three times in less than half an hour and is now pestering my mate at work. Proper dodgy and nasty stuff, don’t share any of your info with him.

Got called six times in just three days, bloke said he had nothing to offer and wouldn’t say who he was. Proper rude and pushy. Feels like a scam waiting to happen. I’ve blocked the number but be careful, they also ring from private numbers so it doesn’t show up.
8 years
They refused to say who they were claiming to be part of some commercial team. When I kept asking who I was speaking to, they just asked who I was talking to instead. Then they said I must’ve woken up grumpy this morning. Also said I probably never ran a business before since I should already know them. But when I asked which commercial department exactly, they couldn’t give me an answer.

Proper nasty caller, kept demanding to chat with the manager. Then suddenly they switched to some dodgy accent. Can't believe the police havent stepped in for harassing folks like this.

Just got what must be the 20th call from this number - they asked for the boss, who isn’t here right now as he’s away. I told them he wasn’t around but if they left some info, I could get him to call back. The bloke on the phone said, "you keep saying that." I told him I didn’t like his attitude and I don’t normally lie to w****rs like him on calls. He then shot back with "the only w****r here is you, you c***." Oh well, hope they ring again soon.
8 years
Honestly, I can’t wrap my head around the kind of trickery this is, to be downright unpleasant over the phone for no apparent reason! I just burst out laughing at their nonsense. When they called me a ‘stupid little b***h’ for chuckling, I replied, “Yeah, I actually find it quite amusing!” Who knows, perhaps they’re hoping you’ll ring back just to line their pockets?! It’s utterly infuriating and baffling what joy they derive from such antics.

Absolute rotters! They've bombarded me with calls-over 10 times in a single day, no less! Some just hung up like cowards, while others unleashed a torrent of foul language. Honestly, I’d be tempted to take a drive up there and give those pillocks a piece of my mind. And as I'm typing this, wouldn’t you know it? They've just called again! A bloke named Paul rattling on about the energy supply for my new business premises. Do me a favour and just jog on, you utter numpty!

Some guy named "Junior" rang from "NPower", but honestly it aint their number. He was trying to trick us, saying he needs to register our meter. Told all my team to be on high alert and give him a hard time. Marked it as risky cos this could mess up a business real bad.

I've received numerous calls at my office today-approximately thirteen to be exact-from a bloke named Matthew. He claims to be representing a utility company and then switches his story, stating he’s from some kind of registry office department-whatever on earth that is! Every time I’ve queried which company he’s supposedly associated with, he dances around the question. Honestly, his manners are atrocious! What could he possibly be after?
Matthew

At first, they tried to sound legit, saying something about the 'Transfers Department', but got quite nasty when I asked who they wanted. I made up a story about giving meter readings and that they knew I'd switched energy providers. They kept insisting they weren't some dodgy broker, then got nasty when I told them not to ring again. Of course, they still called me like ten times after that.

I found the experience rather disconcerting. The staff seemed underqualified. When I requested to speak to the manager, a rather curt young chap took over and shockingly resorted to foul language towards me. This sort of conduct is absolutely unacceptable and really ought to be addressed immediately.

I've received an incessant barrage of calls from this number, and it's becoming quite intolerable. A chap named Matthew, who claims to be from some "Registration Department," has been particularly rude. He’s referred to me as a "parrot" and accused me of being dishonest, all while chuckling at my expense. To top it off, he has the audacity to say I’m "not a bloody queen" and question my ability to put pen to paper. This sort of behaviour is utterly unacceptable and must be dealt with posthaste. Such treatment of individuals, particularly our staff, cannot be tolerated any longer.

Got a call from some bloke called Mathew who said he was from Bucks, but he couldn’t even say which town, never mind the street. Wanted meter readings like others have said before. They’re still pestering me. I’m not even anywhere near the place they mentioned. Complete rubbish, honestly don’t bother with them and give as good as you get when they’re cheeky on the phone. Why hasn’t the ICO stepped in and blocked these lot?

Today we got loads of dodgy calls, all within a few hours, from this number and a few others.

In the space of a single day, we’ve been inundated with dodgy calls-this number and a few others, all arriving in quick succession.

My wife attempted to inquire how they obtained our number, but both the man and woman on the line simply disconnected without any explanation. Quite baffling, really!

It wasn’t too bad, they just phoned to ask if I accept card payments. They must have got my number from 118, called this morning on my old one, updated it with them, then got this call later in the day. No threats or anything rude.

Got a call from this bloke who was quite aggressive, honestly. Proper rude and acted like a total prat. Kept going on about how he’s always right or whatever. Just blocked him. Better off not wasting your time on that nonsense.

I'm on the verge of hopping in my car and heading to Manchester to give those blighters at the call centre a good talking to! Honestly, the rudeness is off the charts! When I informed the woman on the line that they'd bombarded me with over 30 calls in just a day, she had the gall to retort, "No we bloody haven't, get your facts sorted!" As if a company that's been around for more than 15 years could a) suddenly change its name and b) claim there's no gas or electric contract sorted out! Someone really ought to put an end to this nonsense! Their antics-laughing at people over the phone and treating them like a joke-are beyond unacceptable! If I were in charge of that lot, I'd see to it that each one of them was shown the door immediately; absolute rubbish!

If you’ve signed up with the TPS, make sure to report scam calls to the ICO, and any silent or dropped calls to OFCOM. These spammy callers couldn’t care less about messages here, but they really get bothered when you report them to Ofcom or the ICO - and it only takes a couple of minutes tops.

I keep receiving persistent calls all day long from someone inquiring about electricity. Does anyone know the procedure to report this nuisance and put an end to it?

I've been absolutely inundated with calls from this number - they rang me a staggering 40 times yesterday and have already hit me with at least 20 calls today! It's becoming quite the nightmare, especially since I'm trying to keep my business afloat. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to put an end to this?

I’ve got a business number listed with Thomson Local and 118, and since then, I’ve been getting loads of calls every day about new tenancies, energy-saving stuff, or new meters. I work from home and the only thing I changed was putting my 0844 number online. I’m sure it’s from Thomson/118 because when I stopped listing with other sites like Yell, the calls kicked off right after I confirmed my “free” listing with them. Had about 12 calls yesterday and 3 already today! (PS, I’m with BG anyway, so not sure what they want!)

Watch out, it’s a proper con. They pretend to be from British Gas but they’re not legit, asking for your supply number and when your contract finishes. Yeah, right. If you hand over that info, they’ll sneak you into a new contract without you realising - just trying to earn their commission. Feels like the old phone line trick all over again.

Watch out, these people claim to be from British Gas, but they ask for your supply number and when your contract finishes, stuff they should already know if they're legit. I reckon they just want to save that info so they can ring back when your contract ends and try to persuade you to switch.

01612 732016 - absolute pain - some energy firm trying to pretend they're a "listings" service - as soon as I answer, they just cut off. Anyone got any idea who they really are? Company name or registration info???

I’m in the midst of running my own business and continuously receiving calls from this number. It's infuriating because they cut off the line the moment I pick up! Quite a nuisance, to say the least.

Got a call from 118 Information earlier today wanting to update my info. Since then, I've been getting calls nonstop, like every few minutes, mainly from folks claiming to be from Norweb or similar. Some of them have been really aggressive and nasty, especially a bloke called James from 01612732016, and then later someone from a withheld number who threatened to cut off my power if I didn’t answer. Proper rude. I rang the number shared here (cheers for that) and told them to take my details off their list right away.

I've been plagued by these numpties calling me, and just yesterday they unfortunately managed to reach my voicemail. I could hear a foreign voice mocking me amidst a backdrop of chatter and laughter. Then some bloke started jabbering away in what sounded like Hindi, chuckling all the while. Absolute prats!

Beware of the electricity metre registration con! They ring up new companies saying your metre isn’t registered, hoping to get your info and sign you up for a contract. The moment I mentioned I’ve worked as a business energy adviser for over a decade, he quickly ended the call. I’m well aware of their tactic!

Been getting calls non-stop from some energy firm, total bunch of clowns. Tried telling them to quit but they just keep at it. Now when they ring, it's either dead silence or nasty swearing you can hear in the back. Proper sad lot, honestly.

Total waste of time with these spam calls. Usually, they just cut off straight away when you pick up. Occasionally, you catch one of them mumbling a word, maybe something like "Adrian," before they drop the line. The silver lining is they call from a proper landline, so blocking is pretty straightforward. I only started getting these after I registered with yell and 118, and I’m really kicking myself for that now.

Got a call from 01612732016 claiming my business electricity was on some tariff that was 50% more expensive, promising to sort me out with a cheaper deal. I told them I'd check with my landlord first. They said they’d ring me back in an hour, saying the deal was only valid today. After chatting with my landlord, it’s clear this is a scam. The place I’m renting only got this phone number about 8 days ago. Is BT handing out company info with new numbers, or is 118 118 behind it? They even knew my name, which felt a bit creepy.
