They rang me a couple times today but every time I picked up, they just ended the call straight away.

Here we go again, it's those Benefits UK lot ringing from a different disposable number. At least BT's Call Protect blocks this one for me. I had reported tonnes of these numbers to the ICO ages ago and the calls dried up for a bit, but they've started back up now. If you get calls from Benefits UK, make sure to lodge a complaint with the ICO, and try to find out which companies are using those Indian call centres for their cold calls.

I've received calls from 01618260337 on two occasions - once yesterday and then again today. The first time I picked up, but there was just silence on the other end. This time around, I decided to answer in a cheeky manner, saying "Treetops Home for the Elderly," only for them to admit they'd dialled the wrong number! A mate had put me on alert that it could potentially be a scam, so I did a bit of digging and found this info. What’s the best way to prevent these nuisance callers from getting through in the future?

Got a call from some bloke claiming to be from UK benefits, saying I qualify for a new boiler. Told him I wasn’t interested in any heating and that I'd rather sit around a muddy puddle to keep warm. He didn’t waste much time after that and hung up.

I picked up and just said nicely "buzz off" and told them to quit messing about with my time. If I was keen on any of their garbage they’re shoving at me, I’d be out looking for it myself, not have them barging into my privacy like that. Utterly pathetic lot of wankers!

Got a call from a guy with an Asian accent claiming to be from the UK benefits office. He started asking how I was, so I told him, “Not daft, cheers,” and then I just ended the call!

I got a call from a lady with an Asian accent claiming to be from Green Energy. She mentioned something about free heating system upgrades and insulation funded by the government. I quickly told her I wasn’t interested and it wasn’t a good moment, then she apologised and ended the call.

I picked up the phone to a call from this number on my landline, which is on the TPS list. The bloke with an Asian accent said something like, 'hello - are you this afternoon?' I told him straight away that my number’s on the TPS and shouldn’t be called. After that, there was nothing but silence. What a pain!

Some bloke with an Indian accent rang me up saying I could get a free boiler and insulation, said he was from the benefits office or something. But as soon as I told him I actually work there, he cut the call sharpish. Strange one!

If you’ve got BT’s free call protect, this number gets blocked automatically. It’s shown up in my incoming calls, but when I checked 1471 for the last call, it came up as a different number from a while ago. Not sure who it actually is!

They've rung me three times this week but never left a voicemail. Feels a bit dodgy, so I've reported it to the TPS.

i usually just ignore calls from numbers i don't recognise. if more people did that, these pesky scammers might finally take the hint.

I caught a few bits of broken English but nothing made sense. Then they just cut the call. I could hear loads of chatter behind them, so maybe it was a call centre or something?
