This number rang me the other day, and the woman on the line sounded Asian. She wanted to speak to the person who owns the house. She asked if I knew about some government programme to help buy a new heating boiler. I told her we've had loads of calls like this, even though I've said before that we don’t qualify. I'm registered with the TPS, but they just keep ignoring it. How is this allowed? Why do these cold calls keep coming through? It’s so frustrating!

Got a call from an Asian guy who seemed to know bits about my address and name, maybe from some public records like the electoral register. He was fishing for more details, using this energy grant thing as an excuse. I hung up, but he kept ringing back, about four times! Didn’t pick up after that. Such annoying persistence. Makes me worry about how easily older people could get caught out by this.

phone rings, I answer nothing but silence from other end. I stay quiet too, waiting. After a bit, caller finally tries saying hello a few times. I just hang up. Felt like I won this weird game. ###

After reading all the reviews here, I just chose not to pick up. Blocked the number straight away.

A persistent nuisance with a rather cheeky disposition.

Got a call just after half past twelve but they hung up as soon as I picked up.

Got a call earlier today from a polite bloke who said he was from an energy firm. Then out of nowhere, he switched to an Asian accent. He tried telling me about some government money for getting my boiler changed. I quickly told him to take a hike and not call me back.

Didn't recognise the number at all, but after reading what others have said, I'm relieved they never managed to get around my call blocker.

Got a call from 01685 944876 claiming to be from RBS Fraud Department. They asked if I’d shared my card info recently and rattled off a 4-digit number. Told them I haven’t had that kind of card in ages. Then they asked why I’d stopped using it! I told them I wasn’t interested in chatting further and just hung up. Heads up - when they mention 4 digits of a card, be cautious, as most card numbers start with the same first 4 digits anyway!

I said hello a few times but there was only silence at the other end. Eventually a woman with a weird accent muttered 'Goodbye' and just cut me off. Wasn't even able to offer her my old sheepdog or my bunch of worn-out falcons. Proper cheeky behaviour!

Letting the answerphone pick up first, it was all quiet, no one there. After reading other comments, seems like this could be some risky scam stuff going on. Definitely makes me wary now.

Had a call from someone with an Asian accent asking how old my boiler was. Bit odd, wasn't expecting that!

I honestly don't get how these folks can spoof their phone numbers like that. You'd think BT would have the power to block it, but maybe they're just not capable of doing anything about it? It feels like such a mess.

At 8:52 this morning, I got a call from a man with an Asian accent asking about how old my boiler was. I didn't say a word, just stayed quiet, and he quickly hung up after that.

This morning around 08:35, I got a call that caught my attention. Lately, I've been getting calls from 01785-844-876, then 01785-855-876, and now 01685-944-876. They all look pretty similar, so I reckon they're faking the caller ID. Best thing to do is just ignore any unknown numbers. If it’s important, they’ll leave a voicemail anyway.

Got a call around 8:35 in the morning, answered it, but there was just silence on the other end before it suddenly dropped.

This number has called me loads, even though I've told them I'm not interested plenty of times. They buzzed me again at around half past ten today, but didn't bother leaving a message.

Got a call out of the blue and they just dropped the call before I could say anything. Cold call for sure.

So annoyed! Got a call at 8:36 in the morning from a bloke with an Asian accent asking if I wanted a new boiler put in. When I asked which company he was from, he refused to say. Then out of nowhere he asked if I was on benefits and just hung up on me! The number showed as 1471, but when I tried calling it back, it said the number wasn’t recognised. Don’t get how that works. Definitely putting this one on my block list!

They keep ringing for months trying to sell boilers and it's so annoying. Totally pushy and won't accept a simple no. Plus, they had the nerve to ask for my date of birth to see if I get any benefits. Such a rude crew!
8 years
Put them straight on the blocked list.

Since there was no voicemail left, I guess it wasn't all that important!
