So frustrating getting those dead silent calls! They ring and then nothing, no one there at all. Proper annoying, honestly. If only they’d stop wasting our time like this.

Ignored the call.

Got another dodgy call from what sounded like an Indian call centre. They were trying to sell me a deal on my TV insurance, saying the price was dropping from £14.99 to £7.99 a month. When they started asking for my postcode, address, full name, and bank details, I just gave them rubbish - completely made up name, address and bank info. Felt like a total scam to me!

My business got a call from these folks and as soon as I replied with our company name, they just dropped the call. It happens fairly often, I think they’re just messing about trying to trick someone who isn’t on their guard. Total waste of time.

Didn’t answer since the number was unfamiliar.

Had a guy phoning about updating my home appliance cover, so I just told him to jog on. Then he rang back all shocked, saying, “How can you talk to me like that?” Honestly, if you’re just trying to scam me, don’t bother calling at all!

Got a call from a guy who sounded Indian, talking about some home appliance insurance. I asked which company he was with, and he said "reliable repairs," but kept chatting so I couldn't really get a word in. He told me the cover price dropped from £14.99 to £7.99 a month, but when I asked where they were located, he mumbled and then just hung up. They're calling every day from different numbers now, really annoying scammy lot.

Got a call from this number around 12:11 this afternoon. A bloke with a foreign-sounding accent asked if I was the business owner (I actually work from home). Then he started asking about how many phone lines I had. Told him just the one since it’s only me. Then he went on about my broadband, asking all sorts of questions. After a while, I told him I’d already been bombarded with calls about changing my phone, internet, gas, and electric providers, and that I wasn’t interested anymore, before I ended the call.

I picked up but they quicky ended the call.

Picked up the call but no one answered, just loads of noise and people laughing in the back. Looks like they're just messing about, wasting their own time more than anything.

Got a call from a call centre asking to speak with "the business owner" about phones. I told them to take me off their list, but the lady kept trying to interrupt and said she wasn’t trying to sell me anything. Ended up just hanging up on her.

Totally a scam! I’d say just end the call right away and dont waste your time.

Like what folks mentioned before me.

Just silence on the other end again. Really frustrating, honestly.

basically, these dialler things are mostly used in call centres where they automatically ring phone numbers and instantly patch you through to an agent as soon as you pick up the phone.

total scam. guy called saying he wanted to ‘renew your appliance insurance’. he kept asking to speak with the person who owned the house, who i guess they thought was older based on their info. i asked what brands of appliances were included in this so-called ‘update’ and he just dropped the call. pretty clear he knew i wasn’t the right person and probably wouldn’t be tricked.

The phone stops ringing, then after hanging up it rings again, but when I call back, it says the number doesn’t exist. Weird!

There was just quiet on the other end before they hung up the call.
