It was some Asian guy ringing me up. I told him that the person he was looking for doesn't live at this address anymore.

Got called by some lot from India, told 'em to jog on. Utter rubbish every one of them.

Just ignore all the questions they throw at you, it's all a scam.

Got called multiple times today by someone with an Indian accent asking for a relative who’s been living in the US for like five years now. Honestly, I’m tempted to give them a fake number and let them waste their own money on calls. This persistent pestering is just not on! Telephone providers really ought to be responsible for handing out numbers to these types of companies that just scam and irritate real people. Properly frustrating!!

Best to just ignore it, no need to pick up.

I got calls from the same bloke twice, once in the morning and again later in the day. He kept asking for me by name, but each time I told him I’d moved out. These annoying calls just keep coming nonstop! Honestly, I’m done with that number and won’t pick up if it rings again!

This number keeps bothering my mum, who’s got TPS, and at 85 years old, with no idea about computers and being hard of hearing, it’s just a right pain for her.

They tried again, with loads of background noise this time. I've already told them I'm on the TPS and not interested, but it doesn't seem to make any difference to them.

No one said a word when they rang. This is a TPS registered business line I’ve had for over 30 years.

Got two calls today from people with Asian accents, both supposedly called Robin and Peter. Yeah, right! They claimed they were from Benefits UK or something like that. I wouldn’t trust it!!! Best to just not respond to anything they ask.

Got calls yesterday and again today from people saying they're with Benefits UK. Yesterday, it was an Indian lady saying she worked for a small company, and today a man, also Indian. Told them both this number’s on the do not call list, but didn’t seem to faze either of them.

Had a few calls from some bloke David claiming to be from Benefit UK. Honestly, I’ve had enough and already passed the details on to the police since these calls come multiple times a week, despite me being on the TPS list. They try to get me to answer questions but no way I'm falling for it.

This bloke calling about "benefits" asked me how to say my first name, even though he clearly didn’t know it. I’d honestly just tell you to hang up as soon as they start, but if you want a laugh, give them weird made-up info and see how long they stick around before they quit.

At 4.45pm on the 26th of September, someone called saying his name was "John". He said if I just answered a couple of questions, he wouldn't bother me again. Well, that was... polite, I suppose? I just told him I don’t do phone interviews and then ended the call.

This number has been ringing me quite a bit lately. I got 4 calls on the 25th of September, and then today, the 26th, it’s already called me twice. Not sure what they want!

Got a call from a bloke who somehow already knew my name. He said he had three questions to ask. First off, he wanted to know if we were still living at our place. I just replied with "No comment". Then he went on to say I'd be getting this call every single day and if I'd answered properly, he'd stop calling. Honestly, I took that as a bit of a threat.

Some bloke from India phoned up asking for my dad by his proper name. I wanted to know who it was and what organisation they represented, so I asked. He then called me "Ms," which isn't my name at all. I double-checked, asking if I lived at that address. Still, he wouldn’t say who he was exactly. He kept going on about benefits, but it was obvious he wasn’t getting what I was saying. I told him if he was really from the benefits office, he’d have known my dad died a couple months back.

This number called me four times today. The first three times, I picked up but there was nothing but silence on the other end. The last time, they actually asked for me by name, but as soon as I said I wasn’t available, they just hung up. Really quite cheeky!

Someone called me supposedly doing a survey, but I reckon it was just a way to hand over your info to others and then you get hammered with loads of sales calls. They didn’t ask for any bank details or anything dodgy, but I’d just hang up unless you want a bunch of annoying follow up calls!

I got two calls from this number in just a few hours. The first was a woman talking about some kind of "benefits" and kept pestering me with questions, wouldn’t accept a straight no. Ended up hanging up on her. Then, a bloke rang, pretty much the same spiel. He even sounded a bit annoyed when I didn’t play along. Hung up on him too. Honestly, if this number pops up, best just to ignore it.

The 020 numbers have been ringing me loads lately, from the same bunch trying to ask me three questions about UK benefits or something. Had about four calls this past week already, so i've just put them on block now.
