9 yearsi’ve noticed this number ringing me on and off over the past few weeks. even tho it looks like a manchester area code, it shows up as coming from abroad on my caller ID. once it goes to my voicemail, the call just drops straight away. i don’t pick up unknown numbers now unless i hear a message left on the answerphone, but that means i miss a lot of calls. like others have said, being on the tps doesn’t seem to help anymore. it’s getting really frustrating with hardly any real calls and loads of nuisance ones.ManchesterTelephone Preference Service9 yearsI've had calls about cavity wall insulation from the same number three times now. Honestly, it's starting to get really annoying.9 yearsI've had calls from them twice today. When I mentioned I was on the TPS list and asked why they kept ringing, the Indian lady claimed it was her first attempt. I redialled them back, but there was just a dead tone. Strange!TPSIndia9 yearsEven though I’m on the TPS, they keep ringing me up with unwanted calls over and over again.Telephone Preference Service9 yearsAnyone else keep getting these calls about cavity wall insulation? Honestly, you'd think tps would actually step up and block these scammers by now. It's getting so annoying.9 yearsGot a call from a Manchester number about cavity wall insulation. As soon as I told them we're not interested, they just hung up on me. Proper rude way to handle it!Manchester9 yearsI keep receiving calls from someone with an Indian accent, claiming to discuss an accident that I've never been in. They ring me up every few days, it's getting quite tiresome!9 yearsWhat a pain, just another annoying call!9 yearsGot a call from a manchester number which was definitely spoofed, sounded like someone from overseas trying to sell cavity wall insulation. We are on the tps list and even ex-directory, but these calls just don't stop. Whoever manages to sort out cold calls properly will have my vote next time around, for sure.ManchesterTelephone Preference Service9 yearsThe call started off showing an international number but then switched to a 0161 local one. The person on the other end spoke in a foreign language and mentioned something about cavity wall insulation. I just told them I wasn’t interested and ended the call straight away. Also worth noting, our number is ex-directory.9 yearsGot a call from an international number that didn’t match the location code. The caller had an Indian accent and was asking to speak to the homeowner. When I asked who exactly she needed, she just said it was about "cavity damp complaints" linked to my damp walls? Seemed dodgy to me, so I ended up hanging up. Pretty clear it was a spam or scam call, definitely not something I asked for.9 yearsI've had the number 01616265493 ring me up about four times in just a couple days, even tho my number's been off the public directory and I'm signed up with TPS. They won't stop with their sales calls, so I finally blocked them. Looks like it's some overseas call centre pretending to be from Manchester. Seriously, how are they allowed to do this??Telephone Preference ServiceManchester9 yearsAt first, the number showed as an international dialling code, then it switched to a number that seems to be from Manchester. The person calling had a foreign accent, maybe Indian, and began chatting about cavity wall insulation. I didn’t bother sticking around to see if it was a scam or just a pest, so I ended the call straight away. Blocked the number now.ManchesterSubmit Your Own Report (0161 626 5493)
