Got a call from a woman who spoke really loudly. She asked a silly question and I just laughed. Then she flipped out, saying I was making fun of her and called me unprofessional! I just ended the call after that.

This morning, I answered a call from this number but there was silence on the other end, which was quite puzzling.

We run a small business and got told we might qualify for lower rates or something like that. For the past couple of years, I’ve been getting maybe 3 to 5 calls each week from scammers in India trying to push me into switching my energy provider. This call felt a bit different from the usual ones but I still didn’t share any info.

Honestly, could you please quit phoning up and asking for folks by their first names? You’re not family, not mates, and certainly not colleagues. It’s really disrespectful and gets on my nerves. Just stop buzzing me, it’s proper annoying.

I got a missed call from this number and after reading the other comments, I decided to call back since we run a B&B and I thought it might be something about food hygiene or a complaint. But it was just someone from an energy comparison firm asking if our current deal was ending soon.

Got a call from some food hygiene people saying there was a complaint about our place. They showed up the very next day but couldn't find anything wrong at all.

I just received a rather irritating call from these numpties, who kicked off with a "Good morning, darling" in some sort of foreign lilt. They immediately jumped into a spiel about gas and electricity for businesses. I had to tell them off rather bluntly! A couple of things to note: 1) My number is registered with the Corporate TPS, so it’s obvious they’re brushing that aside. 2) My office is situated in a shared building (a business centre, if you will), and we're on a collective billing system, so we pay a flat rate for everything. It’s utterly pointless for them to ring us - they really ought to be contacting the landlord, who, by the way, is the local council. What a bunch of daft plonkers! - Caller: AED

Absolutely infuriating! I've been bombarded with over six calls today alone! I recently relocated my little enterprise and switched my energy providers to the new location, but now I'm being hounded by these relentless calls, attempting to intimidate me into signing some deal! It's beyond stressful. - Caller: Unknown, inquiring about my electricity provider.

This telephone number belongs to an energy re-seller known as Active Energy Direct. They operate with numerous lines that start with the 0161 prefix and also utilize several with the 0330 prefix. The individual at the helm is one Ben Ikin, who runs a variety of enterprises under different names, such as Projectlower Ltd, Commerce Power Ltd, Smarter Power UK Ltd, Alpha Energy Direct Ltd, and Sprint Telemarketing, alongside Outsourced Call Centre Services Ltd. Additionally, he is the current director of SMPC UK, which purports to provide cloud-based IT services for businesses. It’s worth noting that he has previously been associated with numerous similar establishments that have since been dissolved. His company appears to foster a culture where employees engage in aggressive tactics to hassle potential clients and seem quite reluctant to delete your number from their calling lists, no matter how often you request it. Perhaps it’s time for Mr Ikin to experience a taste of unsolicited calls himself-here's his residential address: 17 REDWOOD, SALE, MANCHESTER, M335RD. - caller: Active Energy Direct

What a right nuisance! Received a chirpy "good morning, darling" in some odd accent. Seems like a clever ploy to stop you from hanging up immediately, but it fell flat for me! Honestly, what’s the purpose of the Telephone Preference Service if it doesn't actually do anything? - Caller: 01612745553

Absolutely infuriating! This number just won't stop ringing me, and when I answer, there's nothing but silence. I've got a strong feeling it could be a scammer! The number’s 0161 274 5553, if that helps anyone else out there.

Persistent telemarketers that disregard the TPS no-call register have been hounding me with frequent calls. It's high time they faced some consequences and were reported for their complete lack of respect for privacy. They ought to be penalised accordingly!

I've been bombarded with relentless phone calls from these folks! They're insistent on getting me to sign up for some energy deal, and you won’t believe this-they're asking for my sort code and bank account info! Honestly, what on earth? I explained I was on the road, and somehow, I ended up on hold and then transferred to some senior manager, who was just as keen to get my banking details. I reiterated that I'm behind the wheel and absolutely not sharing any sensitive information. Here I am, two months later, still trying to hammer it into their heads that they’re blocked! I reckon they’ll finally give up when they realise they're haemorrhaging money leaving pointless voicemails. Caller: Energy Sales for Small Business.

I've been bombarded by an energy reseller all day! Five calls so far, including two from the same individual. I've explicitly asked every single one of them to take my number off their list, yet here I am, still on the receiving end of their annoying persistence. What a nuisance!
