Picked up me phone and could hear people with Mancunian accents chatting away like they were in a call centre but no one actually said anything to me. Today was the second time I got a call from a number just like 0161 814 6070. I get calls like this all the time even though I’m supposed to be on the Telephone Preference Service.

Got a call today from someone claiming to be the PPI team out of Manchester. They already knew my address and postcode which seemed a bit off. They said they'd send me a claims pack and asked which banks I'd used before. I could hear loads of other people talking in the background, which made me suspicious. Not sure if it’s a legit company or a scam. They said they'd email me and asked me to reply to a woman named Amaka Okpalugo. I got a bit uneasy when she mentioned she was Nigerian as I’ve had a few dodgy calls from there before.

They've been ringing me for ages, maybe years, asking for Chris or Malcolm. Even when I say it's the wrong number and beg them to sort their records, they keep trying to chat. They call from this number and others, but it's always the same old nonsense.

I keep getting calls from this number almost daily, but when I pick up, there's just silence on the other end. Does anyone know how to block it on my phone?

The person calling never told me their name, and when I asked to be removed from their list, she got really cheeky and asked what I thought the call was about. After I said it again, she started yelling "who do you think you're speaking to?" I hung up right away and signed up with the TPS. I’ll definitely report them if they call again. These calls are annoying enough, but I’ve never come across someone so rude, unprofessional, and plain rude like this. Seems like that’s just how they do things at this company.

I didn’t know the number (01618145240), so I held on for a bit. But it cut off quick, so I reckon it was one of those automated calls just waiting for someone to answer or say anything.
