Got a call from some lifestyle company - total scam, don’t waste your time chatting with them!

I've been receiving six calls a day, and I've chosen not to pick up.

I keep gettin calls from this number, they've ringed me like 14 times just this week. Proper annoying scammers!

I kept getting calls all day on Saturday, 16/02/19. When I answered, the people on the phone were speaking in Asian accents but their English was really hard to understand. Different folks each time.

Got a call from a bloke with a strong Indian accent. When I asked who he was, he said his name was Alex Smith. I told him that didn’t really sound Indian, and then he just ended the call. This was the third time they’ve tried ringing me. Last couple of times, I hung up before their robot voice even started. Properly frustrating and just plain annoying.

Complete scam, don’t trust em!

A woman with an Indian accent called, claiming to be from the telephone preference management service. When I said I was a cop and that it sounded like a scam, she insisted that if I was a police officer, I’d understand they weren’t trying to con me. Honestly, what a load of rubbish.

This number has called me for the fourth time today! How come the officials haven't stepped in to sort these annoying calls out yet?

Got a call from the same number thrice today. Every time I pick up, the person on the other end just drops the call. No clue what they want or why they're calling. Proper irritating, to be honest.

Got a call from some Indian guy who kept pestering me for my name. He claimed we were listed in his database and said he worked for some telephone management service that could supposedly help stop nuisance calls - yeah, right! I told him if that was true, he’d already have my details and his company must be useless since the whole system obviously doesn’t work. I just told him I was hanging up and would block his number. What a joke.

As soon as I picked up, the caller from that number just ended the call.

Pretty sure this is one of those caller ID spoofing things. The number shows up as a legit UK company, but they're not the ones ringing me. Somehow these scammers are managing to put genuine numbers from other folks on the caller ID, even though it really shouldn’t be able to happen.

Got two calls from this number, sounded like an Asian bloke. He kept saying he was from GPS or something like that. Seemed a bit dodgy to me.

this same number has rang me 4 times just today alone!

I've had like three calls in the past hour from some unknown number. They never leave a message or anything. It's really bothering my mum, she's 69 and finds it quite irritating.

This number has called me three times today and rang twice yesterday, but each time, no one picked up.

I’d just put in a report about another scam to BT through their site, where I had to enter my landline number. About 20 minutes after, I noticed a missed call from 01708548893 - so maybe this 01708 number is actually legit, like the Telephone Preference Service, from what others have said? Maybe they wanted to check up on the report I made online, to make sure I hadn’t been tricked by the scam and hadn’t given away my billing details? Just my guess though. I tried calling back but got a message saying Northwood Romford and something about technical problems...

01708 548893 has called me twice already this afternoon (check out my previous comment from today). This time I missed the call and as soon as the voicemail started, they just ended the call. So frustrating! I really want to get back at them - would love to give them a taste of their own medicine!

So I got a call from this preference management service, but it was a bit dodgy - there was a delay, loads of background noise, and the person had a strong Indian accent with a strange way of talking. They’ve been calling me from this other number too (01702847946) the last few days, but I reckon it's the same bunch. I’ve gone ahead and blocked both numbers using BT Call Protect to be safe.

I rang the number back after spotting it on 1471, turns out it's some housing company based in Romford. Apparently they've got some tech issues right now, so I can't figure why they bothered calling me in the first place.

Got a call from this number earlier today. Picked up but just silence. Then they rang back around half two this afternoon. I let it ring through to the answering machine, but as soon as they heard the message, they just cut the call. Ended up blocking the number now. Isn’t it meant to be that these obvious scam calls are getting weeded out?

They keep ringing me over and over throughout the day, using fake numbers. When I try calling back with 1471, it doesn’t go through. I’m not even sure if reporting this would help since it’s impossible to track them down.

Been rung up five times just this morning alone!

I've gotten calls from this number quite a few times, but when I answer, there's always silence on the other end.

Got a call from someone saying they were from a UK-based call blocking company, offering to stop international spam calls. Funny thing is, it sounded like an Indian call centre to me! I just blocked the number straight away. What a laugh!

Forget what I said a few minutes ago, I've just noticed this very number has been blowing my phone up for the past two days nonstop. Before that, I kept getting calls from 01702 583088. Feels like one of those dodgy marketing calls to me, but when you try ringing back, the voicemail just tells you the mailbox is full. Quite fishy if you ask me.
7 years
Over the past few days, I've been getting loads of scam calls from different numbers. I just ignore them and block straight away.

Got a call from someone wanting to talk to the person listed on our landline. I told them my husband was out at work and couldn’t come to the phone. But the caller wouldn’t say what the call was about. When I asked who they were, they just hung up on me. Proper rude!

Call came through, no one spoke, then it ended. Blocked the number straight away!
