2 yearsGot a call from someone with an Asian accent about a Microsoft computer, but I don’t even own one. I just told them to buzz off.Microsoft8 yearsGot a call from a number I didn’t know, so I just let my voicemail pick it up. They didn’t say anything and ended up hanging up. Bet it was just another scam call.8 yearsRight, here we go again. I just got a call from someone saying they were contacting me about a Brexit tax refund and that £250 is being sent out to every home. Then they asked for my bank info to sort the payment. Total nonsense, obviously!Brexit8 yearsGot calls from two blokes called Mark and Gareth (no joke) over the last couple of days, saying they were from Benefits UK. They kept asking me the same two questions every time. I told them I’m on the TPS list and they just ended the call straight away.MarkGarethBenefitsUKTelephone Preference Service8 yearsJust like loads of others have said, they had that South Asian accent and was asking about UK benefits and a few basic questions. I didn’t trust it straight away, so I messed about a bit to waste their time before I ended the call. Looked it up after and no shocker it was some sort of scam trying to get info.UK8 yearsI've had this company, supposedly called Benefits UK, ring me close to ten times in just one week. Every time I block one number, they call back from a new one. When a man from India phoned me today, I told him he was a right pain and warned I'd report them to Ofcom, which I genuinely plan to do. I'd recommend others do likewise - maybe then Ofcom will actually step in and sort it out.BenefitsUKOfcom8 yearsGot my phone ringing again, so I paused everything and picked it up, only to get nothing but silence! I’m so over these annoying calls. Honestly, these scammy idiots need to be cracked down on. Can Ofcom do something to put an end to this nonsense?8 yearsGot this call where all I could hear was some background noise, no one said anything. I tried saying hello a few times but no reply, so I just ended the call.8 yearsGot a ring from this number earlier. The bloke on the phone asked for my name and if I was having a nice day. I asked who it was and he only gave his first name again. Then I asked why he was ringing me. Once I confirmed my name, he just told me to ‘f.’ off. Definitely a scam attempt that fell flat 🙂!8 yearsSome bloke phoned me claiming to be from Benefits UK, saying he had just three questions. He assured me he wouldn't ring me again after that. I told him to make sure of it and ended the call.BenefitsUK8 yearsI got a call from some bloke claiming to be from Benefits UK. He already knew my name and where I lived, then said he had a few questions for me. When I asked for more details, he said he was with the Government. But by then I had already checked this site and caught on to his dodgy story. Told him I wasn’t fooled and he hung up. Blocked his number straight away.BenefitsUKGovernment8 yearsThis number has been bothering me as well. They claim to be Benefits UK and want to ask some questions. I told them to stop calling and remove me from their list, but they keep ringing. They keep saying if I just answer their questions, they'll leave me alone, but I've told them repeatedly to stop. Today I asked again to be taken off the list, and the man was quite rude, saying “no.” When I asked why, he replied “you won’t help us, why should we help you?” I told him it’s my right not to be bothered, and he said it’s his right to call. I just ended the call.BenefitsUK8 yearsA bloke from India called me just now asking for someone called Coleen Fort or something like that. I told him he had the wrong person. Then he wanted to know who I was, so I asked him to tell me who he was instead, and he just hung up on me. Haha! After reading the other comments, I reckon it's probably a scam or some cold call.Coleen Fort8 yearsToday I had a ring from this number and they were asking for the bloke who lives here. But when I wanted to know who was calling first, before putting him on, they just ended the call!8 yearsReally risky stuff.8 yearsIt was a total scam, had some bloke with an accent trying to convince me I was in debt to the bank. Definitely dodgy.8 yearsSome guy from India called and said his name was Brian. What a joke!BrianIndia8 yearsGot a call that was completely silent. We’re actually ex-directory and signed up with the TPS. Don’t know what’s going on here.Telephone Preference Service8 yearsSome bloke called saying he was from Benefits UK and was asking for me by name. He mumbled something else I couldn’t really catch, then just dropped the call. I always get worried after those kinds of calls that somehow they’ve tapped into my phone and I’ll end up with huge charges from calls to Australia or somewhere dodgy on my bill.BenefitsUKOz8 yearsSome bloke from India rang me up, asking a few questions about UK benefits. After he went on a bit, I told him I don’t do cold calls. He begged me not to hang up but I told him I was ending the call. Then he actually had the nerve to say I was wasting his time, so I told him the same and put the phone down.UK8 yearsToday, I've had the same number call me three times but they just hang up right away. I don't get whats happening. Does anyone know how I can block these calls for good?8 yearsGot a call today from someone claiming to be Brian from a UK customer survey, said it’d only take half a minute. I told him we’re on the TPS, so he shouldn’t be ringing us at all. Plus, another guy (also Brian, but I doubt that’s true) assured us a couple days ago we’d be taken off all call lists. So I just told him his 30 seconds were over before he could carry on!BrianTelephone Preference Service8 yearssomeone rang me up, said my name, then just cut off. total waste of time, probably some dodgy scammers.Submit Your Own Report (01793 823253)
