I rang a well-known company and asked straight for the Director by their name. When I was asked what it was about, I didn’t want to say, and they just ended the call after telling me the Director wasn’t there.

I keep getting calls from 01619682040 and a few other numbers too. Even tho you block one, they just start calling from a different number. It’s so annoying how they keep switching them up all the time!

Got a call from some firm named The Insurance Octopus trying to sell me business insurance. Seemed a bit dodgy to me.

Seems like it’s an insurance broker I’ve come across; I reckon they purchase your information from other firms, or so I suspect. However, I can’t grumble too much as they slashed my public liability costs by a whopping 50%!

Anyone else getting calls about business insurance? This is the tenth time they’ve rung in just a couple of hours and we’ve not picked up once. Honestly, it’s getting pretty annoying now, so much so that we’re thinking of switching our number again.

Had a phone call from them inquiring about an individual we’ve never heard of. It appears to be an insurance firm.

My landline is meant to be unlisted, yet I find myself inundated with calls from this number and a slew of other nuisance callers. It's getting so bothersome that I'm seriously considering ditching my home phone entirely!

I've received over thirty calls from this particular number on my mobile! Each time I pick up, there's silence, and then it just hangs up. It's a bit peculiar, to say the least. Could someone please look into whether this could be related to cold calling or similar practices?

I received a phone call earlier, but there was no voicemail left. I certainly won't be returning the call since they couldn't be bothered to leave a message. Seems like it's just another spammer trying their luck.

I received a call from this number on my mobile, and honestly, it's quite irritating since I'm already registered with the Telephone Preference Service.

Could this be linked to an insurance company, by any chance?
