The number popped up on my phone but when I tried calling it back, it just said no reply or unreachable. If BT’s got numbers that aren’t in use anymore, they really ought to block them so scammers can’t sneak through. It didn’t even ring on my end, I just noticed it showed up in my recent calls, so I've blocked it now. Honestly, glad there’s stuff nowadays that helps keep these annoying calls outta your life!

I picked up the phone and there was a short silence before a bloke started speaking, saying he was calling to inform me that my phone charges would be lowered starting next month. I asked him who he was but didn’t really catch what he said. Then he asked if I was paying Virgin for my phone. I told him I wasn’t comfortable talking about my bill with anyone apart from my actual service provider, and then he just ended the call.

The call ended before I could pick up, and when I tried to return the call, the number wouldn't connect. Proper frustrating - I’ll just block it if they call me again.

Got a call from 01698740529 around 11:20 this morning but didn’t pick up. Waited until the ringing stopped then checked the number on 1471. Honestly, it’s pointless trying because I never take any calls on my landline anyway.

At approximately 11:20 in the morning, my landline went off, and I decided to let it ring out before checking the number via 1471. Honestly, it’s a bit of a waste of effort on their part since I never pick up calls on this landline. It's a pity they can’t come up with something more beneficial to spend their time on!

This number 01698740529 rang me but there was nobody speaking when I answered. When I tried calling it again, a woman’s voice came on saying that the number doesn’t actually exist! Strange huh?

I picked up my landline when this number called and an automated woman’s voice said something like "Hi, I have a call for you, please wait while I transfer you". It sounded fishy so I just hung up straight away. After seeing the reviews here, I’m really relieved I didn’t carry on. We’re on the TPS list too, so how on earth do these scammers manage to get hold of our number? Proper pestering!

Got a voicemail first then the person actually spoke when I called back. Just another annoying nuisance. I’m putting this number on my blocked list right away.

Before I could even say hi, they cut the call off. I’m getting fed up with these random numbers ringing me nonstop. I’m supposed to be ex directory, so how on earth do they get hold of my number? This really needs to be sorted out.

Sorry about the caps but the number showed up as "international" for like a moment, then switched to a Scottish number. Weird!

I just had a call from a number claiming to be about my electric and gas, but of course, I told them no and have gone ahead and blocked the number now.

Picked up the phone and got a recorded woman’s voice saying there’s an important call for me. Then after a pause, some Indian bloke started asking if he could talk to the person who handles the electricity and gas payments. I asked why he wanted that info, and he said he was from a company called u switch. I cut him off straight away and told him I’m happy with my current provider, then hung up. Sounds like a scam, trying to get your bank info or something. These types should be banned, so annoying!

How do I block and report numbers that use fake caller IDs? Anyone knows how to do this properly? It's super annoying when the ID isn't real.

Could anyone shed light on the owner of this number? I’ve been inundated with calls from it!
