Got a call from someone claiming to be from UK Benefits, said they needed to ask me a few questions. Complete nonsense if you ask me. I don’t understand what they’re hoping to gain from it. And seriously, who ends up footing the bill for these calls? I really hope it’s not coming out of my pocket.

This number has been ringing me non stop, like every day now. A guy with an Asian accent claimed he was calling from Benefits UK or something. I ended up blowing a whistle right into the phone for a bit. Bet he’s still ringing in his ears. Definitely reported it to Ofcom.

Got a call from some guy claiming to be from UK benefits, asked for me by name even though my landline's ex-directory. Told him nicely to buzz off. This is the second time in three days they've rung. Waiting to see if they call again, might actually get some answers from them then.

01661 296584 keeps buzzing me nearly every other day, usually from BENEFITS UK, and I've had enough of it by now. These annoying calls come around at least three times weekly, and I swear they’re just pure torture. Honestly, hope they get what’s coming to them.

So, I got a call from Benefits UK, and honestly, the person was really impolite and kept dodging what the call was about. This wasn’t the only time they rang me today or even this week. When I asked them to take my number off their list, they just ended up hanging up on me! Proper frustrating.

Got a call from someone saying they were with Benefits UK, trying to ask some questions. The bloke sounded like he was speaking from abroad. Seriously, who in the UK calls people 'Maam'? I told him that charities here don't do cold calls anyway.

Got a call from these jokers again, but this time they didn’t say a word. From what others have said, it seems it’s some benefits office in the UK calling me over and over. As soon as I figure out who’s on the line, I hang up straight away. Honestly, I’m fed up with them making my phone blow up!

I've been receiving loads of calls from people claiming to be from Benefits UK. They usually have an accent and seem to be from overseas. They keep ringing from various phone numbers but it's always the same thing - they want to ask questions and won't accept it if you say no. Really annoying!

There's this number that rings me every day, people speak with an Indian accent about UK benefits. It’s an absolute pain and they just won't stop bothering me. Honestly, I reckon everyone should report it to Ofcom to get it sorted.
