They keep ringing me up about that PPI thing.

They just wouldn't stop ringing, so I've gone ahead and blocked the number.

Got a call from someone saying it was about the telephone preference service, even tho I’ve already signed up for it before. They kept asking me to verify my name and address, then suddenly wanted me to confirm my Visa card info. I just said no and ended the call. Proper annoying!

Around lunchtime, I got a call that matches the one mentioned earlier. There must be some means to track this pesky call and have the authorities pay a visit to apprehend this bothersome individual. What a complete numpty!

I received a call earlier today from someone claiming to be with the Telephone Preference Service. They were inquiring whether I was still getting marketing calls, which was a bit unusual. Then they started probing about my debit card details, surprisingly wanting to know when it expires. I didn’t engage any further, and before I knew it, they abruptly cut off the call. The voice on the other end had an Asian accent. Quite dodgy if you ask me!

It really grinds my gears that this number is flagged as inactive. BT seriously needs to tighten up their protocols to avoid these kinds of mix-ups. Honestly, if I could trace the caller, I'd be more than tempted to pay a visit and give them a piece of my mind. What's the bloody point of these websites if there's no one in a position of authority who's willing to take action against these shady practices?

Oh, here we go again with another call from the TPS. It had the same old vibe as the others, but when I cracked a little joke, they didn’t find it amusing and hung up on me. Such a shame, as I was really starting to enjoy our banter!

They keep ringing but whenever I try to call back, it goes straight to their voicemail. As soon as they hear my message, they just cut off. This website is super handy for figuring out who’s trying to get in touch.

The caller seemed quite believable at first, but since my call blocking is managed by TalkTalk, I quickly realised it was one of those scam calls and ended the conversation. I've now added that number to my blocked list. The person on the other end sounded Asian and was exceedingly polite, but then it struck me that I’d come across information about this specific TPS con before. It's quite astonishing that this hasn’t been put to an end yet!

I had an encounter with three separate callers who insisted I confirm my bank card information under the guise of wanting to update my T.P.S. Quite infuriating! They promptly ended the call the moment I declined their request. What a nuisance!

I received a rather dubious call today from someone purporting to be from the Telephone Preference Service, stating they would initiate a call barring feature starting tomorrow. I informed him that I already had call barring in place, but he insisted that the TPS would block every incoming call. Then, the conversation took a troubling turn when he requested to confirm my identity by asking for the security code on my debit card. Naturally, I terminated the call immediately and have reported the incident to the fraud hotline at the police.

Should anyone from the number 0161 354 0618 attempt to ring me once more without prior arrangement, I'll be implementing a fee of £10 per minute for my time during the conversation. You'll be required to provide credit or debit card information right at the outset of the call. Cheers. John Hunt NUJ: 0916013

I’m absolutely sick to death of these nuisance calls! This number just tried to get through to me moments ago. It seemed to be yet another one of those automated messages regarding PPI. What a bother!

I received a call regarding PPI - don’t be fooled by it! Just give your bank a ring and inquire if you’ve ever had PPI with them. It's always best to double-check directly!

This number keeps ringing me incessantly, and I'm absolutely fed up with it. It's turning into a right nuisance, and I can't help but feel it's bordering on harassment!
