Got a call claiming to be from Legal and General about my life insurance, but they just hung up when I asked them to prove who they were.

I've had my fill of these incessant calls. It’s always some dodgy survey, or they pretend to be from O2, which I’ve already confirmed isn’t the case after visiting an actual O2 store. The staff there assured me they're not involved. These crooks are just after my banking information. In the end, I just told them to clear off!

Kept ignoring the calls ’cause the number was unfamiliar, but they just kept ringing non stop! Such a pain! Really pleased I looked it up here first before picking up. Now they’re straight on my block list.

I got a call from some company named Switch, saying they could give me a better deal compared to Sky or Virgin. When I asked where they had gotten my number, they just said it "came up in the system" and wouldn't explain any further. Then, when I kept asking, they suddenly cut the call. Quite dodgy if you ask me.

I received a call from someone claiming to have a 'superior offer' compared to Sky or Virgin, but they were rather evasive about how they obtained my number. When I pushed for clarification, they abruptly ended the call. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!

What a relentless pitch! Despite letting them know that my number is listed with Ofcom, they plowed on regardless. They insisted I had somehow agreed to this by filling out a survey-something I never partake in, for just this reason! They were pushing a service for switching my internet and phone provider, but I’m not interested at all.

They’ve called me as many as nine times in a single day! When I finally picked up, it turned out to be someone from the company that handles my energy, phone, car insurance, and banking, among other things. I ended up hanging up on them-what a bother!

Got a message claiming I’d won a Galaxy S7 from Virgin Media - total scam! They ask you to ring a 0900 number that charges 99p a minute just to hear a load of nonsense. Watch out for this trick and make sure you report it to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 so they can put a stop to these annoying calls and texts.

Received six calls from this number in a single day! They initially claimed to represent O2, but when I mentioned I was with 3, they shifted gears and started quizzing me about my bank, internet provider, cable or satellite service, and energy supplier. Despite my clear disinterest, they just wouldn’t take the hint, so I eventually decided to end the conversation myself.

I received a call from someone claiming to be Richard, representing the Switch Experts, inquiring about a Tina. Upon informing him that he had dialled the wrong number, he seemed rather insistent and asked me for my identity. I replied that it was of no consequence who I was, and just like that, he abruptly hung up. I've since blocked the number.

I've received three calls from this number today alone (12-9-2017), and they also rang me twice yesterday. Each time, there's silence on the line before they hang up after a few seconds. It’s utterly pointless and a right nuisance for everyone involved. What could possibly be the reasoning behind such behaviour?

I received a call from an Irish chap who claimed he was looking into my broadband situation. I mentioned that I’m with Sky for the television and TalkTalk for my phone and internet services. He seemed puzzled as to why I opted for two different companies and inquired if I had considered Virgin instead. I explained that I'm currently tied into a contract with them. He accepted that and promptly ended the call. I'll definitely be adding this number to my block list!

I just received a call from someone claiming to represent the national broadband service. They mentioned a prior discussion regarding broadband, which I found peculiar since I hadn’t spoken to anyone. When I informed the caller of this, he suggested it must have been my husband instead. However, after checking with my husband, he denied ever chatting with anyone. The caller then had the audacity to imply my husband was being dishonest! To add to my discomfort, he kept addressing me by my first name despite my request to refrain from doing so. His response was rather cheeky, stating he could use whatever name he wished. When I asked to speak with a manager, he flatly refused. He then declared that my time was up and he was going to end the call. There was quite a bit more exchanged, but I think you get the idea!

I really wish this number would just quit ringing at all sorts of hours! From the crack of dawn to late in the evening, it’s becoming rather tiresome to receive these incessant calls. It's baffling how they even managed to get hold of my number in the first place. I’ve tried blocking them repeatedly, yet I still find myself being pestered by more than twenty different digits. It’s incredibly frustrating!

For the last couple of days I've been getting loads of calls from different numbers, this one included. Feels like my phone number got caught up in some big list that's been shared around dodgy callers. Be careful and maybe block these too: 0800 952 3002, 020 3553 4018, 0845 286 3155, 0333 212 0065, 020 3634 7617, 028 9583 9967, and 0161 919 1483. They’re all probably linked to the same scammer ring.

I've received a couple of calls from this number but, unfortunately, I was tied up with work and couldn't pick up. Having gone through the feedback here, I’ve found it incredibly useful. Now I can confidently block this number without worrying about missing any important calls. Cheers, everyone!

I keep receiving calls from this number, and I’m utterly baffled as to how they managed to snag my digits, especially considering I'm on the epinephrine prevention list. It's infuriating, honestly! Even when I block their number, they just continue to ring me. Is there anyone who could provide some guidance on how to put an end to this nuisance? I'm really at my wit's end! 😡

I received a call from this number while I was at the jobcentre, waiting to sort out my signing on. I made it clear to the caller that I had no desire to switch my broadband provider and was quite content with the service I have. When I inquired, he claimed to be with the National Broadband Service. Honestly, how cheeky of them to disturb me! I've already blocked and reported several other 0161 numbers to the ICO, so this is just another one for the list.

I've been inundated with calls from a multitude of different numbers. One evening, I received a call at 9pm, which was rather annoying.
