They verified my name and then abruptly disconnected the call. It strikes me that they might be targeting the elderly, possibly to swindle them out of their money.

They've tried contacting me twice today, ringing three times in total, then just cut the call. What’s the bloody idea?

I keep receiving calls from 0161 883 1288, which seems to be from Manchester, at the same time every day. Strangely enough, they never leave a message. Quite peculiar, isn't it?

Received a rather intrusive phone call from a number I didn't recognise. They didn’t leave a voicemail, which gives me the impression it might be one of those pesky sales pitches. - Caller: Anonymous

I've been getting calls from this number every single day, but they only ring once or twice before cutting off. It's rather annoying, to be honest. I really need to figure out how to block these pesky numbers on my phone!

Ringing me twice daily and there’s no one there when I pick up. It’s becoming rather tiresome, I must say.

I received a call today, 12th March 2015, from a gentleman with an Asian accent who was pitching some sort of lottery syndicate. When I probed about how they obtained my number, he claimed it was from an online competition. I told him I've never participated in anything like that and wasn't keen on their offer. I requested more information, including their details, but they abruptly ended the call. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!

Had a call from these lot today, the 9th of March, 2015, regarding some lottery syndicate they're apparently managing. They were quite insistent on getting my bank details over the phone. I’ve decided to give them a taste of their own medicine and plan to ring them daily for the next few weeks. Let’s see how they enjoy that!

I received a jarring call from this number earlier today, and they were insisting they could hook me up with a brand new MasterCard. Quite curious how they even had my name, but I certainly wasn’t going to give them any confirmation. The call didn’t even start properly until I greeted the person on the other end! I thought it might be a legitimate call since the number began with 0161...

As soon as I realised it was just another marketing ploy, I swiftly cut the conversation short.

Just had a run-in with yet another dodgy scheme - this time it's a so-called money card that's supposedly free and offers cashback. Politely declined the offer, made it clear I weren't interested, and asked them not to bother me again. Not holding my breath for any follow-up.

Simply inform them that your residence is a rental property. These dodgy firms often terminate the call right there, as they're aware that landlords rarely invest in boiler improvements. However, during my most recent encounter with what I believe may be this particular company-there are a few rivals out there-the caller inquired if I could provide my landlord’s phone number. I made it clear that I have no intention of divulging private details to random nuisance callers like them. Their response was swift; the call was over in an instant.

I just received a rather loud phone call from a company in Manchester, which happens to be my neck of the woods. The caller inquired if I might be interested in a new boiler, which surprisingly, I actually am. When he asked if I owned the property, I replied that I'm merely a tenant. He swiftly responded with an "OK, no problem," before hanging up, leaving me unable to explain that my landlord is all for me having a new boiler if it's at no extra cost. We didn’t get the chance to delve into that, alas! The chap was practically hollering, so I ended up having to remind him not to SHOUT. Quite a comical interaction, really!

I received a call today regarding my boiler and some convoluted government rules. They had the audacity to mention an address I haven't lived at for the past eight years, and I informed them I never owned that place at all. When they pressed for my current address, I declined to provide it, considering they couldn't even get my details straight. The caller sounded rather flustered and kept going on about these regulations. I politely said goodbye and ended the conversation!

I received a rather outrageous call regarding a boiler inspection, where they claimed I’d be facing prison time if I didn’t comply! Perhaps that kind of nonsense works in South Africa, but certainly not here!

Greetings, I took a rather suspicious call yesterday evening around 8 o'clock. There were two chaps on the line, both of whom had distinct Asian accents. They were overly keen on arranging a visit to my home to chat about a boiler replacement, claiming it would come at absolutely no expense to me. When I declined their offer, one of them displayed a rather rude attitude. It’s concerning for those who might be easily swayed. I’ve made the decision to notify the fraud squad about this incident.

They attempted to intimidate me by asking if my boiler was compliant with government standards. They even had my name and address, which felt quite unsettling. Their dismissive tone was rather alarming, so I decided to terminate the call. Since then, they’ve persisted in ringing me repeatedly, and I can't help but feel concerned for those who might be more easily swayed. It’s evidently a fraudulent operation.

This number has rung me on several occasions, mainly concerning pensions, and today they decided to chat about boilers instead. I always respond with a courteous dismissal and cheekily ask if they take pleasure in trying to con innocent folks. What really troubles me, though, is the thought that they might succeed in swindling those who are more susceptible.

Hello there! I recently received a rather odd phone call from this number, where the caller was probing into my pension details. Honestly, I was taken aback, as I’ve never reached out to anyone regarding my pension matters. They mentioned something about making a follow-up call, which left me feeling quite puzzled. It’s becoming clearer to me now that this might be a scam. It's quite unsettling, and I intend to inform the authorities about it. Cheers! xx

Had the phone ring three times today from some blokes claiming it was about a boiler. I informed them I wasn’t eligible for any such thing and hung up. Cheeky beggars called me back straight away! When they did, I said my husband usually handles these matters (ha!). Now, they've just rung again asking for him. I just said he’s at work! If they dare to ring a fourth time, I’m seriously considering telling them to bugger off. Let’s see if that silences them!

On the 5th of August, I received a call from this number. The caller claimed to be discussing pensions and even suggested he was representing the government! I was rather sceptical and promptly hung up. I recommend that others do the same; it's best to be cautious!

What a right nuisance! About a year back, I had these persistent callers bothering me at all hours, dawn till dusk. After I'd finally had enough and let them know my thoughts, they then decided to switch to their night-time antics! It's quite ridiculous, really. Absolute cheek!

Received three calls since yesterday. One went unanswered, another I didn’t pick up, and then this evening, I answered a call from Fiona, who spoke with an unmistakable Aussie twang. She struggled to pronounce my name but was rather keen on discovering if I happened to own my property. Typically, I have these numbers blocked, but I made an exception this time, curious to learn more. I’ve reported them to the Telephone Preference Service, as they go by the name Ecowatch Central Heating Engineers, but they’re clearly not a legitimate business. When I inquired about her location, she claimed to be local, yet seemed completely oblivious to where that actually was. I decided to have a bit of fun with her and reverted to my childhood antics, leaving her to chatter away to the birds in the garden. What will happen next, I wonder...

I received a missed call from this number yesterday evening, just past seven o'clock. Today, I decided to answer at the same time, and the person on the other end had an accent that I struggled to comprehend. After a brief moment of confusion, I chose to end the call. Since my mobile is on the TPS list, I'll be reporting this incident to them for further action.
