“They tried saying, ‘We can offer you a better rate on your life insurance.’ So I asked, ‘Is it less than 1p a month?’ They said no. I replied, ‘Well, mine’s still cheaper - it’s free.’ There was a pause, then they just said ‘Thanks’ and put the phone down.”

Ever since I uploaded my CV on Reed and CV Library, I've been getting loads of annoying calls. I reckon they're grabbing numbers from those sites. One caller even asked about a car accident I'd supposedly had, which is total rubbish because I've never been in one.

Ever since I switched my number to Virgin, it seems I've been inundated with a surge of those pesky junk calls. On the bright side, Virgin does offer the option to block these nuisance numbers. So, I suppose it's not all bad!

I've received a couple of peculiar calls lately. Oddly enough, the line goes silent as soon as I pick up! As I'm on the hunt for a new job and have signed up with numerous recruitment platforms, my number is quite exposed, so perhaps it's just a coincidence? The number that's been calling me is 01656486997.

I just got this number not long ago, and the only folks who've got it are places I've applied to for jobs lately. So I reckon that person saying their CV got used for telemarketing calls might actually be spot on!

Got a call from a lady with a Welsh accent, claiming she wanted to talk about my life insurance. She reckoned I already had a policy, which is rubbish coz I don’t have one at all.

Got a call from some firm trying to sell me life insurance. I told them I already have it via work, but then the person got all snappy and said that was rubbish service or something. I explained it’s an extra cover provided by my employer, but they kept insisting I was wrong. Ended up just hanging up. Honestly, I'd just ignore these calls!

I didnt pick up at first so I rang back thinking it was a mate. A lady answered and asked if I had life insurance, I told her no and that I wasnt interested. She then asked how old I was but I said I wasnt comfortable sharing that info. She said she only needed it so if I was under 18 she could delete me from their list. So I said yeah, I’m under 18 and ended the call.
