Earlier today, I received a strange call from this number with a recorded message claiming that I was due a refund. Instinctively, I sensed something wasn't quite right and promptly hung up.

I received a rather robotic message regarding a refund we supposedly deserve (which seems rather dubious). Reminds me of those pesky PPI claims, doesn’t it?
10 years
Absolutely! We had a similar experience around half past one on the 28th of January, 2013. I've been struggling to identify the owner of the number, which means I’m unable to lodge a complaint with the Telephone Preference Service or pass it on to the Information Commissioner's Office. Any help would be appreciated!

I got a call on my home phone at ten to two this afternoon, and it just rang without anyone picking up.

This number, 01618263541, seems a bit dodgy, doesn't it?

I've been receiving calls from this number, and every time I pick up, they hang up as soon as my voicemail kicks in. It's quite baffling, to be honest!

Indeed, we received a call around midday today, claiming that I was entitled to some sort of refund. We promptly ended the conversation.

I've lodged a complaint with the ICO! I'm not playing games with this anymore.

The Information Commissioner's Office has the power to compel the telecom companies to reveal the identities behind these numbers. We're currently documenting every single call we receive, and fingers crossed that this leads to some tangible results soon.

Received a call from some blokes trying to sell PPI or something similar. It was just a pre-recorded message, not even a real person. I've made sure to report them to the ICO. This was my first encounter with these clowns.

I received a call from this number and they left a message claiming that we owe them money. Something about it feels quite dodgy, if you ask me. Definitely has the whiff of a scam.

Received a call prompting us to claim some sort of reimbursement and to hit the number 5. It was a pre-recorded voice message.

Just had a quick look on eBay for a bit of call blocking gear and found a "Pro Telephone Call Blocker" for less than £30 with delivery included. It handles blocked numbers too, so those annoying calls don’t get through. Easy fix!

I've been getting calls from this number non-stop all week. Eventually, I picked up and it turned out to be some rubbish about a PPI claim. Proper annoying, honestly!

At half past one in the morning, this number rang my sister and shook her up badly. She has some mental health issues, so it really put her on edge and she couldn’t sleep all night. She even feared someone in the family might be in trouble. Honestly, this kind of thing needs to be stopped immediately.
14 years
Can you believe this number rang us at 4:09 in the morning? Me, my partner, and our two little kids were all fast asleep. It’s one thing to get calls like this during the day, but waking us up in the dead of night is just ridiculous. Proper annoying! :(
14 years
I got a call at like 3 in the morning too, which really annoyed me. I was worried something urgent was going on and couldn’t get back to sleep afterwards. Staying tired all day is already rough, but getting woken up that early? Completely unacceptable. Of course, it was just one of those automated messages again.

Absolutely furious and well annoyed! Got a call at half past one in the morning when the whole house was fast asleep. It woke up everyone, which really upset me. I ignored the call, then looked up the number afterwards and handed it over to the cops!

This morning at 12:45 I got a recorded message about some claim we supposedly made, which is just rubbish. I'm really fed up with these annoying calls.

Last night, my other half got a ring at 1:39 am and it really freaked her out since I was working the night shift. I was gutted she was so anxious. Does anyone know how I can track down who called us at that time? I'd love to find them!

Someone rang my phone at half four in the morning, it woke everyone up! How do you even put a stop to this nonsense?

I got a call at 2.30 in the morning, which was just ridiculous. It woke me up from a deep sleep and I was left wondering who on earth was ringing at that hour. When I tried to ring them back, I only got an automated message saying it was some telemarketing firm. The message said if it was important, they'd call again later. Honestly, I really hope they don’t bother me again!!!
14 years
So, I had a call right in the middle of the night, like 2:30am or something, which totally freaked me out because I’ve got a family member who's really unwell. Then, on top of that, I ended up being late for a crucial meeting at work today. It’s just so irritating. Honestly, what can people do about these cold callers? It’s such a nuisance.

Got a call from this number at 2.29 am on 7/3/13 and I’m livid. I’ve already reached out to the OCI and even got in touch with Radio 4’s You and Yours programme. Something needs to be done about this. I honestly thought it was something really bad, like a family emergency or accident. Ringing us up dead in the night when we’re supposed to be asleep is just not on.

It was just after 12 at night, and we were a bit worried about our mates up in Manchester, thinking maybe someone got sick or something. But do they normally ring that late, like in the dead of night? Seems odd.

Got a call from this number at about 3:10 in the morning. After seeing the comments here, honestly, glad I didn’t pick up cause sounds like a right hassle. What a pain waking up to that!

I've been getting calls from this number loads of times every week, even though I'm on the TPS register and have reported it. When I pick up, there's nobody there. Feels like a total scam and it's really starting to get on my nerves...

This number has been ringing my TPS registered landline repeatedly, sometimes more than once a week. I've tried reporting it, but the calls just keep coming through. When I answer, there's nobody there. Looks like a scam to me - really annoying!

Got a call from some PPI claim company. Told them I’m registered with TPS and when I pressed 5 to let them know, they rudely said it’s none of my business if I wasn’t interested and just hung up on me. They should be shut down for behaving like that.

If you receive a call like this, my advice is to just end the call straight away and don’t push any buttons. Better to hang up immediately!

In just a couple of days, this number has called me 6 times, but each time, no one answers and the line just goes quiet. I checked online and noticed a bunch of others have been getting calls from it as well. When it rang today, it played some sort of urgent recorded message asking me to call back - but I ended the call straightaway.

Got a call from these guys again on 9/02/12, I reckon I get around two calls every week from this number. Isn’t there some sort of consumer group that can do something about blocking these annoying calls?
14 years
This number keeps ringing me loads. I’m not pushing 5 or 9, since I reckon it won’t do any good and might even cost me more. It’s so annoying that these calls can’t just be blocked!
14 years
I tried calling the number back and they told me to hit 9 to remove my details from their list. I’m signed up with the TPS, have call blocking set up, plus anonymous call rejection turned on, yet they somehow manage to get through. How is that even possible? These people should be taken to court for hassling folks unfairly and pulling these pension scams. It’s terrible, especially for vulnerable elderly people who fall for this stuff.

Got a recorded message saying to press 5 to get a refund, but if it wasnt meant for me to press 9. Weird automated call.
14 years
I've had this annoying recorded call three times today, saying I’m owed a refund or something but never really explaining what for. They kept telling me to press 5 to get the money or 9 if it’s not meant for me. Obviously I didn’t respond, but I worry that older folks might fall for it and get caught out. It really winds me up!

On the 7th of February around 1.36pm, I got a call warning that I was running out of time to claim some refund. They gave numbers to press but I didn’t dare tap any - worried it might trigger charges running up my phone bill. They sneaked in a nasty choice at the end saying press 9 to opt out. This feels like a proper scam, not just an annoying call! Serious fraud if you ask me.
14 years
I’ve been on the TPS list for ages, but it doesn’t seem to stop these annoying scam calls and texts at all. Why are we expected to tolerate this? They always tell you to press a button to opt out, but I’m convinced that’s just part of their trick. I just hang up straight away, and I’ve told my husband to do the same because pressing any number seems like it would just make things worse. Seriously, shouldn’t all this rubbish be sorted out by now? We shouldn’t have to deal with it constantly.
