So this person started asking for my personal info, right? I told them I was with the fraud team and they just quickly ended the call! Can't imagine why they wouldn't want to chat after that!

Twice today I got calls from 01616405577 asking for personal details. I just said I don’t deal with cold callers and hung up. This is the eighth time now they’ve tried, using two different numbers within five days. Seriously, when is BT gonna sort this out, or do they just turn a blind eye because it suits them somehow?

This annoying number 01616405577 has been ringing me AGAIN, asking straight up for me by name. Decided to mess about a bit and said “Who’s it for?” but they just kept saying “Victoria.” So I said, “This is Brightlingsea police duty sergeant, may I ask who you’re trying to reach?” and they just hung up! Honestly, these calls happen at least twice daily now, getting really fed up with it.

Got a call from 0161 640 5577 today. A lady with a strong Asian accent claimed she was ringing from this company called “Beneficial”. She said we’d talked previously and she was just checking back in. I had no clue what she was talking about, so I asked what company she was actually from. She dodged my question and said she’d just be asking yes or no questions. I said no and promptly ended the call. Blocked the number straight away!

Seems useful, but they ask if they can share your info with other firms for marketing purposes.

Absolute nightmare. These scammers must be using some random number generator to flood calls from all over, honestly feels like hackers messing about. Been getting these dodgy calls for over eight weeks now, every single day. They’re just after my details to pass on to other fraudsters who’ll try to rip me off again. Really wish they’d just bugger off and leave me alone.

I've gotten a couple of calls from this number, but whenever I pick up, they just end the call straight away.

Got a call from what looked like a Manchester number, but turned out to be some Asian call centre. They wanted me to give my personal details and I said no way. Honestly, when is BT going to act on this? These lot just keep switching numbers all the time, so blocking one doesn’t help at all. Proper frustrating!

I've been getting calls from a bunch of numbers linked to some company from Manchester, goes by "Swan Seal, Blue Telecoms" or similar. They seem to have thousands of different phone numbers and a machine that dials them all randomly. No matter how many times you block one number, they'll just ring you from another one. Feels like they're some kind of survey outfit or something. Honestly, just report them, block any number that rings, and try to stop 'em any way you can. They’re quite persistent, so good luck with dealing with them!

This lady called me asking if I was Mrs Anna with a certain surname, but I told her she’d dialled the wrong number. Even after I hung up, she kept going on. It sounded like she was a foreign woman, and she said her name was Rose.
