We've got a family member over in Manchester who's been having some health issues. Those missed calls from the 0161 area code often left us feeling quite anxious! It was a bit of a concern, especially since no messages were ever left when the answering machine picked up.

I received a call from this number, but I’m not falling for it. I’ll be reporting it to the Telephone Preference Service.

I received a call from this number, and it caused quite a bit of anxiety, especially with family in the vicinity. It was around 19:15, so I couldn’t help but fret that something might have happened to one of my relatives.

I've received quite a few missed calls from the number 01618263251, and each time there's just silence on the other end. Quite mysterious, to say the least!

We've received three calls from the number 01618263251 this month. Is there any chance anyone can put a stop to these persistent nuisances?

It’s rather unfortunate, but the TPS has informed me that these individuals are utterly powerless to put an end to those incessant automated calls. What a right nuisance!

Even though we've made it abundantly clear that we have absolutely no interest in engaging with these people, they persist in ringing us up. We keep lodging complaints with the ICO to try to put a stop to it.

The call cut off just as my answering machine kicked in (I've adjusted it to activate shortly after a couple of rings).

Easy peasy! Just hop onto eBay and do a quick search for the "Pro Telephone Call Blocker." You can get one for under £30, postage fee included. With this handy device, you can block pesky nuisance callers, even if they try to hide their number. No more unwanted interruptions! So go ahead and snatch one up to enjoy some well-deserved peace and quiet.

Annoying automated sales calls can be quite a nuisance.

It's clearly a scam since they informed me about a bonus that is supposed to be paid to my personal pension!

I've been receiving calls from this particular number around six times up until now. On each occasion, I am greeted with an automated message prompting me to press 5 for claiming a pension bonus and 9 in order to stop receiving further calls. However, I choose not to press either option and simply hang up the call.

I recently had another one of those recorded calls. Once again, I didn't bother listening and simply hung up. I can't help but question the purpose of the Telephone Preference Service (TPS).

I've just experienced another one of those recorded calls, commonly known as taped calls. Once again, I didn't bother to listen and simply hung up the phone. What's the purpose of the TPS anyway?

Beware of these fraudulent individuals! If you happen to press either 5 or 9 as they insist, they will connect you to a costly premium rate line.

Another frustrating call, wasting my time once again. If I were to report each irritating telemarketing call I receive, I would spend around half a day per week doing so. It's really exasperating, as I receive a minimum of two calls daily, and sometimes even up to five. Despite being registered with TPS, it appears to have little effect.

I've been receiving consecutive calls from this number for two days now, and it's constantly just a pre-recorded automated message instructing me to press a number. I'm pretty certain that this is a scam as it will probably result in an expensive call. The message claims that I might be eligible for a £1000 pension payment, which is obviously false information. It seems like their intention is for people to press "5" on their phone keypads and end up being charged heavily for the call. It's worth mentioning that I am registered with the telephone preference service, but this automated message does sound like it's been recorded by someone in the UK, so it's possible that it's originating from there.

I was informed by someone claiming to be from the pensions service that I am eligible for an immediate payment of £1000, stating that I am below the age of 60. However, when I clarified that I am indeed not under 60, they abruptly ended the call.

I had a similar experience, although it was my wife who picked up the call. When she explained that she didn't have a private pension, they attempted to speak with me by offering a £1000 incentive. However, I advised my wife to simply end the call.

Should phone companies bear the responsibility for enabling harassment through their services?

I recently received a call from this number. As usual, it was the same old story - a prerecorded message claiming to have an urgent update about my private pension. Sadly, this is not the first instance of such calls. Frustrated, I simply hung up the phone.

I just received a call with the same old story about money that is owed to me. I wonder, does anyone take these irritating calls seriously?

I've received two calls from this number today, along with calls on previous days as well. Not only is it a scam, but it's also harassment and really getting on my nerves.

Upon arriving home, I discovered that there was an incomplete message left on the answering machine. It mentioned something regarding payments and instructed me to press 5. How frustrating!

I have received a third call from this number within the span of two days. The person calling is extremely impolite and invasive.
