Had a right dodgy call from this number! If you try to ring them back, be warned-you might see an unwanted charge on your bill. We’re planning to have a word with our phone provider once we get to the bottom of who they are. Just a heads up, I might even pay them a personal visit!

They've taken to ringing us regularly at about half eleven and around half four, though we've noticed a few other odd times as well. Probably just their automated systems acting up. It’s as if they don’t understand that we actually have jobs and other commitments to attend to. We've finally had enough and added them to our list of blocked numbers-so fed up with the interruptions! 😤

It’s rather infuriating, isn't it? They continually ring us up, and when we answer, all we get is a dreadful silence-just static on the line. How utterly annoying!

I've been receiving about two to four calls a day from this number for the past six months or so, and you'd think they'd get the hint by now! If it's such an important matter, why not just leave a bloody message? We've added this number to our block list, yet it still manages to ring us when they've tried to reach out. Honestly, what a nuisance!

I've been receiving calls from 01614917208 twice weekly, and every time I answer, there's silence on the other end. It strikes me as one of those dodgy personal injury law firms, though I can't pinpoint which one. I vaguely recall chatting with someone from a similar number not long ago, so the thought this could be linked is rather bothersome.

We've been receiving calls from this number for ages now. The moment we pick up, it just cuts off without a word. It's incredibly frustrating, and it really ought to stop!

It's the same old tale, with the same websites coming up time and again. I'd recommend keeping your genuine number under wraps until you've properly sorted out your deal.

I've received around five calls from this number in just two days. We answered the first one, but there was complete silence on the other end. Naturally, we figured it was a scam and decided not to return the call. To add, we haven't shared any personal details on any insurance comparison websites lately.

I've received multiple calls from 01614917208, and each time I wasn't able to answer. However, I managed to chat with them today. The gentleman I spoke with mentioned that he is associated with Action Claims and that the call was on behalf of Hastings Direct.

This number has become an absolute pest, calling us at least four times a day! We haven’t visited any insurance sites recently, but our car insurance is coming up for renewal soon. It seems these folks might still have our details from last year. It’s just so tiresome. We’re definitely going to have to block this number as well!

I've been inundated with numerous calls over the last few days, all claiming to be from "Group Direct" - a company I've never encountered before. With my car insurance renewal on the horizon and having previously utilised Confused.com, it seems to connect with what others have been saying. Quite suspicious, isn't it?

I received a call from this number, and it was really strange. They claimed to be involved in a car accident that wasn’t their fault. What baffled me was that they seemed to know our names, which is odd since we haven’t touched our phone for at least the last three months, thanks to a faulty SIM card. The only thing I can think of is that we completed a form just the night before, providing our details. Quite curious, isn’t it?

This number rang without a peep, and as soon as we dialled it, we were informed that it belonged to a firm called "Action Legal." They appeared to be keen on discussing a potential legal matter.

Crikey, we've been inundated with nearly twenty calls from these numpties this week! We'd gladly have a chat with them, especially since we've got an ongoing accident claim to discuss. It’s truly their loss considering they keep cutting us off. Makes one curious if they’re kin to Billy Smart's circus-seems like they’ve got their fair share of buffoons too!

I've been receiving calls from this number, as well as a withheld one, for the past three weeks, both very similar to Stephen's. Whenever we answer, it’s just a load of buzzing noise. Last month, we shared our number with esure for an insurance quote, so it’s possible they may have sold our details to a third party!

I find myself in a remarkably similar predicament, receiving at least a couple of rings daily from this lot. Every time I attempt to return the call, I get a message saying the "Mailbox is full". I've yet to have a proper conversation with anyone from their end, and at this stage, I have no intention of doing so. Just so you know, they seem to be using the number 01614916644 for their calls.

For the past month, we’ve been receiving calls from this number-twice daily, no less. When we tried to call back, we were met with a voicemail from some law firm! Quite baffling! We’ve opted to just let it be, although it does get on our nerves a bit. I’m tempted to reach out to the watchdog over this, as we certainly didn’t ask to be contacted by them. It really makes one wonder how they’ve even acquired our number!

I've been getting calls from 01614917208 on a daily basis, but as soon as I pick up, there's nothing on the other end. It's really starting to feel like a wasted effort. I'd prefer to just block this number altogether, as it's becoming quite the nuisance.

This number rings us two or three times a day, yet we're typically at work and can't answer the calls.

In the past five weeks, I've received approximately ten calls, and I can distinctly trace it back to when I left my phone number on the confused.com website. After opting out of their quote, I've been inundated with calls from AA Insurance, AXA Insurance, and various others. It's quite amusing, really, considering that the AA is actually promoting on that very site!
