I got a call from them saying they can help me claim more money back from some PPI I had ages ago. They told me they’d post me some forms to complete.

Got calls on both my mobile and landline, they just dropped the call without uttering anything. Proper idiots.

0161543698, rang but no voicemail given. Just blocked straight away!

I thought it was a call I was waiting for, so I didn’t really look at the number. The guy, who sounded Indian and was quite polite, asked me to confirm my name even though he already knew it, then said he wanted to do a survey. That’s all that was said before we hung up.

Yet another one of those scams. I usually don’t pick up calls from numbers I don’t know, and guess what? They never bother to leave a voicemail.

Got a call from someone who had an Indian accent, maybe the number was faked to look like it was from India? They were asking loads of questions about the ages and brands of my fridge, washing machine and even my home security stuff. Bit weird, if you ask me.

I got a call from a lady with a pretty thick accent, asking about the appliances in my kitchen. She was quite polite but kept pressing for answers. I replied to a few questions before saying I needed to hang up. Felt like she was just gathering info for some survey. Going to block the number now.

I've been getting calls from 0161 543 6988, and honestly, what's going on with these callers? They ring up, ask if you’re the person they named - always spoken in a thick Indian accent - then just drop the call straight away. It’s so pointless and frustrating, just a total waste of time for everyone involved. Proper madness!

Got a call from 01615436988, which I didn’t recognise. I didn’t answer it but if it's legit, they can leave a message. Pretty sure it’s a scam though. Cheers for this helpful page!

Wasn’t expecting the call and just picked up. The bloke claimed to be from some place sounding like YouWatch, but his thick Indian accent made it hard to catch what he was saying. He already had my name and postcode, then he went and BURPED on the phone! He asked for a quick 30 seconds and wanted my house number. When I asked what for, he just hung up right away. Definitely blocked him now.

Got called twice by a Manchester number this morning but didn’t pick up or decline. I’ve heard before that if you hit decline, they realise the number is active, but if you just leave it ringing, they might assume the number’s either wrong or not even assigned yet!

Got a call for someone who’s never lived here. Told the guy to take us off their call list, but before I could say more, he snapped at me, “Why don’t you just hang up instead of wasting my time!” Wasting his time? He’s the one pestering me with these calls! Just block and ignore these people!

They somehow knew my name, and I got so annoyed I just let out a big sigh. I reckon they thought I’d ended the call, but before they hung up, I caught them swearing a load!

Saw the number pop up but left it unanswered as it was unfamiliar. No voicemail or anything from them either. I've now blocked the number. These calls are such a pain, honestly. Why do these folks insist on bothering us all the time?

I’ve flagged this lot to action fraud. These Indian scammers keep popping up with fake UK numbers, often calling themselves "Benefits UK" or something similar. They’re like cockroaches, always back after a few days on a different line. It’s mostly a phishing trick where they pretend to be from a government agency, saying they need to "verify" your info so you don’t lose your "entitled benefit payments." Don’t fall for it!

The moment I picked up the call, they disconnected in a mere two seconds.

Got another one of those dead silent calls today. Honestly, they ought to get a proper fine, maybe even thrown in jail, and forced to listen to these annoying calls nonstop, every single day.

Got a call from a lady with a heavy Chinese accent who said she had just two quick questions. She spent forever going on about some intro stuff though. I started getting a bit fed up and asked why she needed the info. She said it was for research. I told her I’m not into that sort of thing and ended the call. Really annoying waste of time!
6 years
As soon as I picked up, the line just went silent. Definitely putting them on my block list.

I reckon these calls are just spam or some sort of phishing attempts. I wouldn’t trust them if I were you. Best thing to do is to avoid answering any questions when they ring and simply say you don’t discuss anything over the phone. Just be polite and thank them for calling, then hang up.
6 years
They claimed they could prevent any annoying calls from reaching my phone. Then, they quizzed me on how I say “ideal home” and followed up by asking once more if I wished to block certain numbers. Quite peculiar!
6 years
honestly, i’m not sure what it was about, but the lady mentioned somethin' about benefits before suddenly quizzing me on my washing machine brand. maybe it was from some firm named “perfect benefits” or something like that. if it’s them, be ready for them to ring you up loads, like 4 or 5 times a day during the week, and this goes on for weeks, using lots of different numbers each time. proper annoying!

Honestly, best to just let it ring out and not engage at all. No point in getting mixed up with it.

My phone showed a spam call from 3:30 this afternoon, so I decided not to pick up.

Market research calls are such a hassle. I try to be polite and answer their questions but they just cut me off suddenly. Then, my phone gets flooded with calls from other companies because they must be sharing my details around. Instead of blocking, I just label the number as a scam so I remember not to bother answering next time.

Got two calls from this number earlier today. The first time, they just cut off straight away. When they called again, I said hello but no one answered. I've blocked them now.

This morning I’ve already had three calls from them, which is just too much. I usually try to just ignore these calls but when I do answer to tell them to stop calling, they just end the call on me. So now I’ve had enough and blocked the number.

They rang me twice, and when I picked up the second time I had a tough time catching what she said because of her accent. I think she was asking if I was Mr Donna Smith. I'm actually a Mrs, and while my name is Donna, I'm definitely not a Smith. So I just told her no, and she hung up right away. After that, I decided to block the number.

I went along with her, letting her fire off tons of questions, but lost interest pretty quick. I told her she was meant to only ask three and that she’d been dishonest with me. When she asked if she could have one more question, I said ‘no, you’ve already lied.’ She then yelled ‘go away’ and just hung up on me! Honestly, it gave me a bit of a laugh for a few minutes.

Got a call from a woman with a strong Bengal accent, the line was crackly and awful. She claimed she was doing surveys and somehow already had my last name. Honestly, don’t bother picking up - total waste of your time.

I got a call from a woman saying she was doing a quick survey, mentioned it’d only be like 3 questions. Then she asked if I had a mortgage. When I asked why she needed that info, she just told me to buzz off and hung up on me. Bit rude, if you ask me.

Today I got another call, and honestly, it’s getting a bit much. I answered, and it turned out to be yet another telemarketer trying to sell me something. I told the bloke I wasn’t interested, but he just kept going on. In the end, I just hung up and waited for him to end the call.

I picked up the phone straight away, but the call cut off almost immediately. I’m waiting for a call from myGP, although I reckon it’s likely to be a local number.

I received a call claiming to be from Benefits UK, and the accent was distinctly Indian. I informed the caller that we've received similar calls in the past and firmly requested that they cease contacting us. Previously, I'd inquired whether they were associated with any government body, and they assured me they weren't. That's precisely why I declined to assist them and told them not to ring us again.
