Claimed to be ringing from My Mobile, stating that they've found I qualify for a Vodafone Business Account. What a cheeky chap! And he certainly had a lot to say for himself.

Got a call from 01782610480, they started asking me all these daft questions like which newspapers I read and what the call was regarding. When I asked them the same, they just went quiet and then kept rambling rubbish. In the end, I couldn’t be bothered and ended the call.

I don't know who this is but they keep ringing me for a few days now. Is there any chance I can get these calls from this number blocked?

Just got a call from 01782610480. The person on the line had an Indian accent and said he was calling from UK benefits. They wanted to speak to a Mr Randall, which isn’t me. After a quick ‘how are you’, they launched into some long spiel about needing details. I told them I couldn’t really follow what they were on about and then they just hung up. Seems like a total scam to me, best just to ignore calls like this.

017826 104480 kept calling me non-stop. I didn't pick up at first, then when I tried ringing them back, the line was always busy. They were on the phone for ages! Properly frustrating when all you want is to make a call yourself!

Got a call from 01782610480 saying it was "u benefit". The person on the line asked how I was doing, but when I tried to find out what the company actually did, they just ended the call. The voice sounded Asian but the name was in English. Bit weird really.

I'm receiving incessant calls from this absolute plonker who insists on verifying my address, only to drone on in circles. It’s incredibly irritating! I have a strong feeling there's something fishy about their intentions, yet they refuse to disclose their identity or purpose. The caller claims to be from UK Benefits, but it’s left me feeling rather uneasy!

Honestly, this right numpty keeps ringing me up, insisting that I verify my address, and then goes on to drone on about it all over again. I'm not at all keen on this caller, as there's clearly an ulterior motive at play here, yet they're not willing to disclose their identity or the purpose of their calls. The caller claims to be from UK benefits, but it's all rather dodgy if you ask me!

This number just won't quit ringing! It's like clockwork, every hour on the hour. When I let them know the person they're after isn’t around anymore, they respond with something along the lines of “No need to shout!” before abruptly cutting the call. Quite maddening, really!

Ignored the call. This is the second time this week they've tried. I already told them we're on the TPS list and not interested, but they just carry on anyway.

The number was unfamiliar to me, so I just let it go to voicemail. There was no one talking, but the background sounded like a busy call centre. After reading others' experiences here, I feel lucky I didn’t pick up.

Some bloke with an Indian accent rang me, claiming to be from U-Switch and said he had a couple of quick questions to ask, but only if I was okay with it. I could tell straight away from the noise in the background it was a call centre. So I just said I wasn’t up for any questions, gave a polite thanks, and ended the call.

Got a phone call from a guy with an Indian accent. When I asked who it was, he said his name was Robin and then asked if I was the person he wanted to speak to. I asked again who it was and then he said it was my dad, like I should know him or something. Problem is, my dad died over fifty years ago, so that was a bit weird. I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.

I’m on the TPS list but these people have rang me like 4 times just in the last 5 mins, does TPS actually do anything or is it pointless????

Nowadays I usually don't say anything right away when I get a call from a number I don’t know. My phone displayed the number, which I didn’t recognise at all. I reckon if it’s an honest call, they’ll start talking. This time, the caller stayed silent and just ended the call after about a few seconds.

I got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent saying he was calling from UK Benefits. I asked him what organisation he was from and he just ended the call. I’d just come in from outside and thought it might be the doctor ringing about my blood test results. Turns out, it was just a really annoying nuisance call.
