Received a call from someone up in the northern reaches of Scotland, claiming they were compiling a pamphlet about driveways in our vicinity. They persisted in asking me to clarify my responses, and I had to inform them that we don’t actually possess a standard driveway. It was rather odd.

It seems like the Orion line agents are secretly operating on behalf of the government. They're likely probing to see if you’ve managed to stay afloat amidst the chaos. There's definitely an ulterior motive at play concerning your belongings... It’s a bit reminiscent of situations back in 1945, wouldn’t you say?

We weren’t home yesterday and got three calls from this number. I have no idea who they are, especially since I don’t know anyone from WGC. So, I searched it up and, just like others mentioned, the number’s showing as Doncaster here too. Definitely going straight to block!

I've been receiving frequent calls from this number, about two or three times daily for the last week or thereabouts. We’ve got an answering machine, yet they don’t bother leaving any messages. After some digging, it appears the calls are originating from the Welwyn Garden City region. It's becoming quite the bother, especially since I have to look after my wife, who is disabled and needs her peace and quiet to recuperate. It's becoming exceedingly irksome! It appears these might be one of those silent spam or dubious scam calls-some connection to driveway services, or so the information I've uncovered suggests. If this number reaches out to you, please exercise caution and refrain from sharing any personal information; it all seems rather fishy, to say the least. What is it with these people?

So, this guy John keeps calling us, says he’s from the Driveway Centre or something. We live in Doncaster and already told him off twice. The first time we just told him to buzz off and ended the call, but then he rang back the very next day and got the same treatment. Proper annoying.

Got a call from someone calling himself 'John from The Driveway Centre'. He said he knew I still needed a driveway done. I just ended the call straight away. Later I checked out The Driveway Centre and saw it's based in Dorsey, but the phone number was showing Welwyn Garden City. Seems like a total scam to me.

Been getting loads of these calls lately (mainly from Virgin Media, but using dodgy numbers) and not once have I bothered to answer properly. Total PUPD recipient here.

I received a call from 01707 819585 at half past six in the evening. The number looked entirely foreign to me, so I straightaway suspected a scam. And indeed, it turned out to be that nuisance "Driveway John" once more, the same one who has harassed me previously. I always give him the cold shoulder! Lately, I’ve been inundated with these calls-mostly from folks claiming to be with Virgin Media, but they always use fake numbers. It's gotten to the point where I've yet to actually converse with any of them. I consider myself quite savvy and definitely won’t be hoodwinked by their antics. No chance whatsoever!
