They ring and then nothing, no one there at all. Proper annoying, honestly. If only they’d stop wasting our time like this.7 yearsIgnored the call.7 yearsGot 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!7 yearsMy 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.7 yearsDidn’t answer since the number was unfamiliar.7 yearsHad a guy phoning about updating my home appliance cover, so I just told him to jog on.

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.7 yearsGot 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.7 yearsI picked up but they quicky ended the call.7 yearsPicked 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.7 yearsGot a call from a call centre asking to speak with "the business owner" about phones.

Really frustrating, honestly.7 yearsbasically, 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.7 yearstotal 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.7 yearsThe phone stops ringing, then after hanging up it rings again, but when I call back, it says the number doesn’t exist. Weird!7 yearsThere was just quiet on the other end before they hung up the call.Submit Your Own Report (01638 743940)
