I picked up the phone and there was silence for a bit, then suddenly a click like someone got on the line. A lady called and asked if our director was there, using his first name. I told her he wasn’t around and she just hung up straight away. Feels like it was definitely a spam call.

Didn’t bother leaving a message on Call Guardian, just went ahead and blocked them.

Beware of scammers pretending to do surveys. They’re also calling from different 01683 numbers.

I picked up and they just cut off straight away. Definitely seems like a dodgy number.

Got a call from 01617990982 again, total scam. Honestly, I can’t believe how daft these scammers are.

Got called by a bloke with a really hard to catch accent. He claimed to be from some firm called "You Benefit" and wanted to ask me some questions. I barely got to say I don’t do phone surveys when he just cut me off and hung up! Proper cheeky! They’ve phoned me loads of times before, always from different numbers too. What a nuisance.

I answered the phone but no one spoke, then they just ended the call. Happened twice in just two days!

I got a call from a woman who sounded Asian, but she never properly said who she was. She just kept saying she needed a minute of my time, mumbling stuff that wasn’t in English. I asked her three times who she actually was, but she wouldn’t answer, so I just hung up.

I just blasted that muppet with my whistle as loud as I could, and blimey, I heard a proper loud “ahhhhhh” back from their end. Looks like it worked perfectly! I’d suggest everyone try this out - those annoying scammers will soon be fed up of it, and maybe it’ll even ring their bloody ears off!

Got a call from an Asian guy who wanted to know if I was the person this number belonged to (bit odd). Told him no, since I rent this place. Then he asked my name but didn’t get it right, so I said no again. He kept asking if I was certain, if someone lived here or if I knew a woman he mentioned. I answered no every time, and out of nowhere, he just ended the call. Strange bloke.

For the past six months, I've been getting calls from this number every couple of days. After the first one, which was a total scam, I decided to block it.

Got a call from an Asian guy, asking the typical stuff like, “Are you Mrs X?” then goes on with “Are you related?” When I said no, he was like, “So who are you then?” What a load of rubbish! Total jokers!

What a right nuisance! I received a call and the person on the other end asked if they were speaking to the owner of this number. I was utterly confused! They couldn’t even manage to say my name properly. When I replied in the negative about knowing the person they were searching for, they asked if that individual resided here. I affirmed that wasn't the case either. After my 'no' response, they simply disconnected the call. How frustrating! - caller: 01617990982

The person on the line wouldn’t tell me their identity and was quite impolite. As soon as I declined to give my name or verify if they’d got the wrong number, they just ended the call.

Had a guy with an Asian accent ring me up claiming my Microsoft PC was compromised. I called him out saying it’s a scam, and he just dropped the line. Then he rings back, same story but this time it’s about my Apple Mac. I told him to get lost in no uncertain terms. On the third call, he’s shouting what sounded like some angry words in an Asian language. Proper annoying scammers!

I gave the number a ring but it just cuts off without ringing at all, so I highly doubt it’s an actual phone. Feels more like some dodgy software dialler, probably trying to cause trouble!

What a nuisance, honestly. The phone only rang for a bit before it just cut off. Took long enough before my network finally blocked it. Classic Pete move.

The caller wanted to speak to someone with my name, but when I said it wasn’t me, he threw out a different name. Then he guessed, “William?” I said, “No, it’s Fred.” He asked if I owned the number. I said no. Then he asked if I was renting it, I said no again. Followed by asking if I was a visitor, still no. He seemed to get annoyed and just hung up. I’ve added the number to my call block list now.
