Some company called Homeguard or something from this number rang me up today and told my husband we’re definitely getting a security advisor phone call. I really hate these kinds of calls. My husband just told them, “No thanks, we’re not interested, have a nice day.” Honestly, how rude of them!!! These calls aren’t just irritating, they could actually be quite risky too.

Got a call earlier about a ‘free assessment’ or something like that. I wasn’t interested enough to ask what they were even assessing. The lady on the line sounded like she was shouting from a busy school yard during break. I didn’t waste any time and just ended the call. Honestly, both the firms making these calls and the people ringing us up deserve some serious fines.

Someone called me saying they wanted to talk about an accident I supposedly had, which I never did. He said his name was Ray Watson, but it was clear from his thick foreign accent he wasn't really being honest.

Got a missed call but I never pick up numbers I dont know, so I looked it up here to see if it was safe to ring back. Funny enough, folks have connected it to the 01217360311 number - I had a look at my blocked calls and there was that very 0121 number. Annoying!

They keep ringin me non stop and one time I just picked up and bluntly told them to 'bugger off'. They left me alone for a few days but then started up again. Honestly, what can you do? I just answer, then put the phone down and let it ring out since its their issue, not mine.

Just like everyone else, they keep leaving loads of voicemails but it’s just loads of background call centre noise, no proper message at all. They’ve been phoning me all week and every time I block one number, they call me from another. It’s really getting on my nerves! Wish there was some rule against this kinda thing cause it’s driving me insane. I don't even know who’s trying to reach me now so my phone is always on silent. Honestly thinking about getting a new number. They’ve already called me three times this morning and it’s only 10 o'clock!

For the last 3 days I've been getting one call each day from 0121 736 0311. I don’t pick up numbers I don’t recognise, they can always leave a voicemail if it’s really urgent. When I searched online, it said this number is linked to PPI scam calls, so I blocked it yesterday. But guess what, they rang again today from a different number. I ignored it and looked them up again. It’s so annoying they just won’t stop!

Absolutely, I've had that experience too! When I picked up the phone, it was just dead air. On one occasion, they actually mentioned my name. I told them, "I only got this phone two weeks ago!" They were quite apologetic and promised to remove my number from their database.

Just like loads of others here! My car picks up calls on its own and I cut them off quick, then as I hung up I caught them muttering something about cheek and a waste of time. Cheers for all the comments, really helps me not feel guilty about hanging up straight away!

They ring nearly every evening at about the same time and usually from 01217360311. Didn’t pick up at first but now our little 3 and a half year old answers and either chat nonsense to them or lately sings Fatboy Slims Funk Soul Brother. They quickly put the phone down after that.

They keep phoning me but I’ve figured out how to handle unknown numbers these days. NEVER PICK UP: answering, even if you’re rude, quiet or sharp, just lets them know the number’s active and you’ll keep getting calls. But if you don’t pick up, after a few attempts they reckon it’s a dead number and stop bothering. I just let it ring out, check it on sites like this, then save the number under SALES or ‘BLOCK’ in my phone.

Such a pain! I never pick up if I don’t recognise the number, just let it go to voicemail. After that, I pop onto this site to check who's calling. If loads of people are saying the same thing about the number, I block it straight away. No point wasting time answering dodgy calls, they’re just wasting their breath with me!

Really impolite and pushy, kept going but couldn’t say which credit card company I was supposed to claim from. I don’t use insurance on my cards or loans, so I said I’d just get in touch with the credit card company myself. I’m sure some money-saving guru would approve! The caller just said do whatever I want, it won’t bother him at all!

It’s just like what the person said on the 8th. They get really pushy when I tell them I never applied for any PPI refund. They keep insisting I did and then ask for my address to “verify” something. I don’t give out anything and the call finishes. Then, a few days later, they ring again and the whole thing starts over.
11 years
They just won't leave me alone! Honestly, it's a mystery how they even got hold of my information, so I’ve had to block the lot of them.

This number rings me like 20 times every single day. They keep changing the UK numbers they call from. Today, a lady got really annoyed with me because she was trying to get me to claim missold PPI from Lloyd's bank or something. I told her I've never even had an account with Lloyd's, but she kept saying I must have had some kind of credit and I was definitely due a refund. I told her again I hadn’t, and she said I was just wasting HER time, so I just ended the call. So frustrating!

Had quite a few missed calls from this number recently. Turned out to be some PPI claim outfit. The woman on the line had quite a strong accent and wasn’t very polite. They said they’d post me a claim form to fill out and return. Asked me to confirm my address too. Tried to cut the call nicely but then got hit with ‘Do you even know what PPI means?’ Not very pleasant. I’ve blocked the number now so they can’t bother me anymore.

I’m not really sure what to label these calls. They kept ringing, so I finally picked up and all they wanted to know was if I’d been mis-sold PPI. They phoned again about five minutes ago and actually said my full name and address. It’s a bit unsettling because they’ve never used my details like that before!! Now I’m worried about where they got that info from. They also called my partner's number asking for me, which is odd since I never share my partner’s phone number for my stuff.

They seemed to have all my details - name, address, even my phone number! But when they started probing about my loans and mortgages from before 2009, I thought, 'No chance!' and hung up.

Got a call from some claim firm sayin I owed money or summat - pretty sure they just bought my number off some list.

These pests just won't stop calling! I even picked up once and explicitly asked them to remove my information since I’m not interested, yet they persist. I've finally had enough and have blocked their number.

I've been quite irritated by this number for the last few days. When I finally picked up, they already had my name, address, home phone, and mobile number. They insisted that they can't access any other details, such as my bank information, without my consent. Sounds rather suspicious to me!

They were really unfriendly and never even mentioned which company they were ringing from.

I received a call from this number, claiming they could assist with an interest insurance claim related to credit cards from back in 2009. They seem to have both mine and my husband’s personal details, including our names, address, and date of birth. Quite concerning!

I’ve been bombarded with incessant calls day in and day out for what feels like an eternity! It’s absolutely maddening. Whoever’s behind this just won’t take a hint and keeps ringing multiple times daily. It’s really infuriating, especially since blocking them isn’t an option.

Somebody called me and their English was pretty bad, plus the name they mentioned for the person they were after had no connection to my number at all. I have no clue who they were trying to reach.

Didn't pick up when they rang. Think I'll just block it from now on. Cheers.

Got a call from someone claiming to be OXFAM asking for donations. No harm done, just a bit annoying really.
