Got a call from someone wanting to talk to my dad, but he passed away nearly two years ago. Feels like they’re working off some outdated list since this number’s been mine for quite a while now. Total scam, I reckon.

This person keeps ringing me like two or three times every single day, and honestly, I'm sick of it.

I just got a call from a number that was identical except the last digit was an 8. It feels like this company is seriously crossing the line with all these annoying calls. Must be illegal to keep pestering people like this.

Total con! Stay well away from this number.

Had this bloke ring about some home appliance deal. I said I'd ring him later and then just ended the call. Another typical scam, I reckon.

I’m so fed up with getting loads of calls every day from this number and others like it. When I pick up, it’s always about some insurance for things around the house that I honestly don’t want or need. I’ve told them countless times to take my info off their list, but it’s like they don’t listen. Best just to ignore these calls!

This number keeps ringing me non-stop! When I finally picked up, it was someone trying to hawk insurance for my home appliances. I've told them more than once to remove my info from their database, yet they still call multiple times every day. It's honestly driving me mad. I'm thinking of blocking the number, but I'm sure they've got loads of others they ring from.

Been getting calls about some appliance insurance deal. Started with about one call a week since the 16th Nov, but now I’m getting bombarded 2 or 3 times daily. I keep telling them I’m not interested, but they either cut me off halfway or get really rude and disrespectful. The next caller from 01661 897 252 to 259 will get a loud blast from my referee whistle, and that’s how it’s gonna be for any more calls after that. Proper annoying!

Looks like this lot are from some UK service plan. They managed to con my elderly step mum out of £500 and now won’t pick up or reply to any messages. Proper shady!

This company has been constantly bothering me, hanging up when I answer or just not replying at all. I asked them four times to remove my number from their list, as per GDPR rules, and even called back to press option 1 to delete my info. If they keep this up, I’m definitely going to report them to the ICO.

They keep ringing me about some appliance insurance or warranty thing, usually around the same time each day. This morning was the 7th call! I've asked them a few times to stop contacting me, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. It's really frustrating since we've got a service to block these kinds of annoying calls and it still doesn't work.

I’d say it’s better to just not answer at all.

This morning I got two calls from them, and I’ve already said I’m not interested in whatever they’re trying to push. If they bother me again, I’m going straight to the police.

I keep getting calls from this number, and a few similar ones, like a couple times every day or so. It’s always some agent pushing insurance for my home appliances - something I’ve said I’m not interested in over and over. Just today I warned the lady on the phone that if they keep ringing, I’ll have to take it further and report them for harassing me. Honestly, I’m not holding my breath that they’ll actually quit.

The person on the other end asked me to confirm my name, but when I tried to ask who was calling, they just hung up.
