this guy rang me but he kept calling me by some random name. when I asked him who he was, he just refused to say anything. so weird!

I had a missed call from 01618147886 on my phone earlier, but since I wasn't near a hands-free, I couldn't pick up. Didn't know the number so I looked it up here.

I got a call asking about some life insurance policy, they already knew my first name which was a bit off, and the way they spoke was really pushy and kinda rude.

It's pretty strange this number popped up again after being quiet for 3 years. I didn't pick up and they didn't bother to leave a voicemail, so probably just a cold caller. I've blocked it now.

Got a call from an unknown number but it went to voicemail and there was no message left. I'm figuring it was probably some scam or one of those accident claim calls!

I got a call from a woman who asked for me by name. Instead of saying yes or no, I asked who she was first. She then went on to say something like, “I’m aware you might already have life insurance.” I cut her off straight away and said, “This is an unwanted call, goodbye.” She tried to keep talking but I had already ended the call.

Got a call from an unknown number I didn’t pick up, but after checking your site, I’ve gone ahead and blocked it. Cheers for the heads up!

Some woman rang me saying something about a flight being delayed with my info? I was like, hang on, what are you on about? She kept saying there was a delay and it involved me. I told her I haven’t been on a plane since forever, probably the 90s! Told her to get rid of my details and not to call me again. Yeah, totally dodgy if you ask me!

My phone went off and at first, nothing was heard, just silence. Then this recorded woman’s voice came on saying something like “a supplier called, no one here can answer right now. We’ll give you a ring back soon.”

Got a call earlier from this number, some woman saying she was from a firm named ‘They Delay We Pay’. She was asking about any old flight delays we might've had. I told her our number is on the TPS list, but she insisted it’s something you have to renew every year. When I tried explaining that only business lines need that, and not private or sole trader ones like mine, she just hung up on me.

Got a call from someone claiming to be ‘Michelle’ from a ‘fire safety team’, who was thanking me for an advert I supposedly put up. Thing is, I never put any adverts up and it’s reminded me of a bad experience with a rude woman before, something about child safety. I don’t trust these calls anymore and have stopped supporting charities over the phone altogether. Feels like a total scam!

had a lady named michelle ring me up, thanking me for backing some fire safety campaign. she said my invoice was about to be sent out. i told her i never agreed to support any fire safety thing and told her not to send me any bill 'cause i wouldn't pay it. after pestering me for a good five minutes, she just hung up. reckon it’s that telesales outfit that also tries to push crime awareness stuff.

Got a call from a woman, called herself “Michelle”, pretending to be from some ‘fire safety team’. She was trying to thank me for putting up an advert and talking about how well it went. I told her straight up that we never put any advert out. She kept claiming she’d spoken to me last November about it. I told her to cut the nonsense because there definitely was no advert - we’re well aware these are scams now, had a close call before so we always say no. Very obvious lie. She had a thick Lancashire accent, and the number was from Manchester. Total scam, don’t fall for it!

Purporting to represent the "Crime Prevention Team," this caller has been on the hunt for cash regarding a contract that, quite frankly, I never consented to. Complete fabrication!

I got a call from someone claiming to be from the “crime prevention squad.” They were really forceful and wouldn't take no for an answer. Definitely told the police about it.

i’ve had calls from them nearly 30 times now, sometimes more than once a day. they keep saying i purchased some advert and even sent me a bill. i threw the bill in the bin and told them to leave me alone. but they still ring me and my husband keeps telling them to stop. i’m really fed up with it all but have no clue how to make them stop bothering us.

Some woman named Michelle rang me claiming to be from the ‘crime prevention team.’ When I asked what exactly she wanted, she just hung up on me. Feels like the usual scam where they try to flog those useless crime prevention leaflets. These lot keep calling now and again, wasting people’s time trying to trick them.

Received a call from this number earlier. A rather sing-song voice introduced herself as Michelle, claiming to represent the "Crime Prevention Team". When I probed for more details about her call, she abruptly hung up. I suspect it's just the same old crowd behind that dodgy Crime Prevention Booklet scam that occasionally tries to pull a fast one on unsuspecting folk. Complete waste of time these characters!

Got two calls from this number today. sounded like a scam to me, asking about someone who left that job ages ago. they didn’t bother leaving any voicemail and said they’d try contacting that person some other way. quite fishy if you ask me.

I attempted to return the call, but ended up waiting indefinitely on hold.
