He said he was recording the call, so I just told him to jog on. Then I told him folks like him were the absolute lowest of the low. After that, I joked that a Monty Python tune was about to start and began singing "scum, scum, scum, scum, scum, scum" at him. Honestly, I really wish there was some way to get these people in trouble for ringing us up.

Got a call from this number asking for a "Mr Barnes." That’s not me, never has been, and I've had this mobile for nearly 18 years, so I’m pretty certain they’re working off some fake list. The minute they said the wrong name, I just hung up. Now this number's on my block list too. It’s unbelievable that these kinds of companies are even allowed to operate! They really ought to be shut down and those responsible locked up!!!

For the past few months now, I’ve been getting calls nonstop. It’s not just this 0161 number either, seems like every single one of them keeps ringing me. It all began after I put in a successful PPI claim. Suddenly, all these PPI companies started bombarding me. Properly irritating, feels like harassment honestly. But like I always say, I just don’t pick up. If someone genuinely wants to reach me, they’ll leave a voicemail. And those are the ones I bother returning. :)

What a horrible bloke. He brought up PPI and when I said I had no idea why I was getting these calls, he snapped at me, saying maybe it’s because I keep cutting people off before they can even speak. I was just trying to explain I’ve never taken out a loan or anything. Proper angry and rude guy. I really should’ve just told him to shove it!

This particular number seems to ring my phone no fewer than six to ten times weekly. I simply refuse to pick up, as I’m fully aware it’s telemarketing nonsense.

CRYSTAL PROSPECTS keep ringing. They say they’re a PPI claims company. They call me over and over, day and night. They use loads of different phone numbers so blocking one doesn't stop them. I’m on the TPS, yet they still bother me. I reported them to TPS but they were no help at all, just said they can't do anything. What’s the point of having TPS then?

Crystal Prospects, Manchester - They called me yesterday from one number which I blocked so today they tried ringing from a different one! Seriously, get the hint and stop pestering me! I don't have a PPI claim and I’m not daft enough to pay for one. I actually read the small print. Writing this was a nightmare, the space bar won’t work so I had to mash together words with predictive text! No wonder there aren’t many comments here - tech folks, please fix this!
