I wasnt picking up but my phone still marked the call as spam on its own.

Today I got a call out of the blue from this firm, even though I've got my number on the TPS list. The person on the phone said they were from Compare The Networks. I asked them for details, and they gave the director's name and said they operated out of Shrewsbury, which matches what's on Companies House. But when I told them I was aware the company was actually dissolved back on 31st December 2019 and that carrying on trading was against the law, they quickly hung up on me.

They rang me from a number saying they were comparethenetworks.com, but I know the business was shut down way back on 31 December 2019. Since it’s no longer active, they’re obviously not registered for taxes, so something’s off here. Plus, the number they called is on the TPS list! Really suspicious stuff.

I can't believe they've been getting away with this for two whole years! How is that even possible?!

Got a call from a woman with a South African accent, looked like one of those usual spam calls. She had this really lengthy spiel she kept going on about. Total nuisance.

Living in Stamford, I got a call from them recently. I usually don’t pick up if it’s a number I don’t know, and I always check this website first before saving anyone’s contact info. Turns out, it was definitely the right move to dismiss it, save the number, and then block it.

I've received a myriad of silent calls, so I've taken the liberty of adding them to my blocked numbers list.

I received a call that was completely silent, though I could hear some noise in the background.

Fed up with the incessant nuisance of unsolicited calls from this particular number!

Quite pushy with a rather confrontational demeanour. They kept asserting that my mobile contract had expired, despite the fact that I only acquired the phone a mere week ago. Definitely a scam!

Cheers! I’ve decided to give this number a miss after hearing what everyone had to say.

Just got a call from a South African woman, sounds like the same one that was mentioned back in April. She kept going on about me having "twelve months left on my mobile contract" - total nonsense. It’s clearly a scam. They’re trying to get you to change over to their plan, which probably traps you in for ages and then hits you with massive price hikes once the cheap offer is up. Don’t be fooled by this, it’s gonna end up costing you a fortune down the road.

Got called by a Shrewsbury number but they just ended the call straight away.

I keep getting harassed by calls at the most inconvenient hours. It's incredibly frustrating!

Another bloody scam call, just the same old rubbish. Honestly, why not try finding a proper job instead of faffing about like this? What a waste of time!

Got a call from these people today, a woman speaking with a South African accent told me that my phone contract supposedly had a year left, so she could offer me a cheaper deal. She mentioned an amount I was paying, but it wasn't right at all. Then she asked what phone I had - which I thought was odd since that info should be on their system. I told her I’m quite happy with my current plan and ended the call. Been bombarded with similar calls from persistently pushy folks before. Seems like a total scam to me.

I received a call from someone with a noticeable Indian accent, and let me tell you, they were incredibly insistent! It’s clearly a scam aiming to trick you into some sort of upgrade. Whatever you do, steer clear of any offers they propose!

Received a call from Upgrade Telecommunications, but it was obviously an automated voice and seemed like a scam. Wouldn't trust it.

I picked up but didn’t say a word, and the caller just hung up straight away. Looks like another spam call. Seems like someone’s got their hands on a mailing list they really shouldn’t have. For example, a few days ago, I had a call from a woman in India trying to push an iPhone on me. She wasn’t having any of my refusals, so I asked her where she had my number, and she literally dropped the call faster than I’ve ever seen. Best advice: keep asking “Where did you get my number from?” and maybe they’ll hang up quicker!

Got a call from a lady with an Indian accent. Told her I was busy and asked her not to ring me again. Still, she phoned me three more times the following day. In the end, I had to block the number.

I chose not to pick up, and they didn’t leave any voicemail. Seems like another spam call to me.
