Got a call from a number I didn’t recognise, rang three times and I never picked up.

He calls me almost every week and I always know it's him on the phone. Funny thing is, not long ago he was hawking solar panels for roofs, but now he's working as a local health worker.

Got a call earlier from some bloke wanting to talk about a new driveway. Thing is, I don’t even have a driveway! When he asked if I’d made up my mind, I told him I hadn’t got one to begin with. Ended up blocking the number straight away!

I replied to the message but got no response back. Bit frustrating really, was expecting at least some kind of answer.

Some random number called me today, no idea who it was.

Got a call from some place about solar panels out of the blue. I’d never come across the company before and told them straight away I wasn’t interested, then ended the call. Still, they seem to ring back loads, even though we are on the TPS list. I don’t trust anyone ringing like that enough to hand over my details anyway. Now I just ignore the calls because it’s a landline, which makes blocking numbers a real pain.

This number called me again today. The person sounded really unsure and didn’t get to say more than a quick hello before I ended the call. I’ve decided to block it now.

I received a call from a chap who introduced himself as Sam, supposedly representing a company named Windows and Doors situated in South West London. I don't recognise him at all, so I decided to cut off the conversation. Clearly, it's a cold call, and I’m beginning to suspect it might be a scam.

I picked up the call, and after a bit of back and forth, they asked if I could actually hear them. I gave a nod of affirmation, and they expressed gratitude for my time. Quite the enigmatic encounter, if I do say so!

Didn’t get any voicemail from this one coz I have all strangers going straight to voicemail. Pretty sure this is another scam, just like the other people have mentioned on here. This is the fourth dodgy call I’ve had just today! Honestly, wouldn’t it make sense to have a set fee for every call you make, even if no one picks up? Maybe then these bloody nuisance callers would finally get the message and stop.

Just like a lot of folks these days, I didn’t pick up the phone, mostly because I don’t usually answer numbers I don’t know. My rule is if it’s important, they’ll leave a voicemail, but nothing was left in this case. I have a feeling it was either a telemarketer or some sort of scam.

Just like loads of people here, I got a ring from this number tonight. I ignored it cause it was unknown to me. No voicemail or anything after. Feels like one of those dodgy scams to me, coz real calls usually leave a message or say they'll try again or want a callback. Watch out for it!

Got a call from this number earlier today and they asked if I could hear them. I’d heard somewhere that scammers use a “yes” to steal bank or card details, so I probably shouldn’t have replied! The guy said he was trying to find show homes for resin driveways and just kept on with his spiel, even after I said I wasn’t interested pretty nicely. It felt like he just wasn’t listening. Ended up hanging up while he was still talking.

Had a bloke calling from somewhere called "The Driveway Centre" or some such, sounded like he had a plum shoved in his gob, couldn’t understand him at first and then he goes, "… can you hear me?" Proper annoying. He was going on about resin drives with a ten year guarantee and what not. I told him I wouldn’t touch resin with a bargepole but he just kept talking over me. I reckon he twigged when I said my driveway’s brand new with a 25 year guarantee!

This number called me recently too, but I didn’t pick up since I don’t recognise anyone with an 0161 dialling code. Figured if it was urgent, they’d leave a voicemail - which obviously never happened, so I’ve just blocked it now. Lately I’ve been getting quite a few calls like this one, even answering one only to be asked “can you hear me?” Proper frustrating, especially as I’m registered with the telephone preference service. How do these calls keep getting through?
