This number has called us four times throughout the day, but they've failed to leave any message behind. Quite curious, really!

I keep receiving calls from 01708436492 and 01708770453, and they just won't stop ringing me all day Saturday! It's becoming quite bothersome.

I've done a bit more sleuthing, called the number, and was put on hold. After a while, I heard someone yell “Performance Direct” before they abruptly disconnected. So, I looked it up and it seems, as suspected, it’s linked to an insurance company.

I've received at least four calls from this number, but they haven't bothered to leave a message at all. Quite odd, really!

We received a call from an insurance company, but we didn’t pick up the phone. Instead, we decided to ring the number back and looked up Performance Direct online. It turns out we had actually contacted them shortly after inquiring about home insurance through Compare the Market. The twist? We don’t even own a car! What a nuisance!

I've received several calls from this number today, not to mention a few from yesterday as well. Each time I answer, it's just silence - very odd! I did catch a snippet of a message directing me to ring either 71407354 or 604259824. I tried using *2, but couldn't seem to get through to anyone. Strangely enough, I’ve also been looking into house insurance options via ‘compare the market’ recently. Could there be a link?

Absolutely, it turns out this was a pesky insurance company. So frustrating!

I received a couple of calls earlier today, both trying to reach the same individual, but they don’t seem to be associated with this address. The first call was from 01708 770453, followed not long after by another from 01708 436492. Quite puzzling, really!

I've been getting calls from 01708 770453 quite a bit over the past couple of weeks. They never leave any voicemails, and when I answer, it's just dead air. I reckon it's high time I report this to Ofcom!

It’s terribly frustrating that they keep calling, and the moment I pick up, there’s nothing but silence on the other end.

I encourage everyone to lodge a formal complaint on the Ofcom website. Recent legislation has been enacted to tackle the issue of silent calls. The greater the number of complaints submitted, the higher the likelihood that these companies will face penalties and reconsider their calling methods. Let’s make our voices heard!

I've received a couple of calls earlier today and quite a few yesterday as well. Strangely, there was no message left and nobody seems to respond when I answer. I did get a brief message asking me to call back. I tried pressing *2 to get through, but it just led nowhere. Lately, I've been looking into house insurance via 'Compare the Market' on the internet.

I've been getting calls from this number shortly after I inquired about house insurance on Compare the Market. This is definitely the last time I engage with them!

I've received a few calls earlier today and quite a number yesterday too. Oddly enough, every time I answer, there's silence and no message left behind. However, I did get a strange voicemail that asked me to ring back on 71407354/604259824. I tried *2 to see if it linked to anything, but I couldn’t get through. Lately, I've been looking into home insurance via Compare the Market online, so that might be connected.

Ever since I enquired about insurance through Compare the Market, I'm constantly getting calls from them. I’d suggest just ignoring them!

I received four missed calls in a row! We recently requested an insurance quote from Compare the Market, so it’s quite possible that one of those calls was from a representative trying to follow up on our enquiry.
