I've just had a call from this number, and it’s not the first time either. They’ve been pestering me for the last few years, ringing multiple times. Every time, they claim to be looking for some made-up individual and then go on about being 'Tech Support', offering to sort out computer issues over the telephone. Despite their promise to take the mythical individual off their list, they’re back at it again within weeks. It’s incredibly bothersome, and I reckon they’re skirting around the Telephone Preference Service by naming this non-existent person.

Received a call with no one on the other end? It appears that it's been flagged multiple times, and considering we’re registered with the Telephone Preference Service, I’m wondering how I can further shield myself from this irritation. Any advice on enhancing my defences would be appreciated!

I got a call from this number at 11:15 AM today, but there was absolutely no one on the line. It's about time these irritating calls came to an end!

I received a silent call from this number at precisely 10:40 this morning. As someone who has registered with the Telephone Preference Service, these kinds of calls are truly bothersome.

Got a call from a woman with a strong accent who kept insisting that my computer had security issues. She was really pushy and wouldn’t take no for an answer. - number was 01865760179

Got a call from some bloke called Ali who couldn’t get my last name right. He was saying the usual stuff about my PC being at risk and that he could fix it. I told him to jog on, nicely enough, but he started swearing at me. So annoying. The number was meant to be from Oxfordshire, but I know that line doesn’t take incoming calls. What a shock. - caller ID: Computer Security

The phone rang around 11 in the morning, and as soon as I answered, the caller dropped the line almost immediately. It struck me as weird since most calls at that hour tend to be dodgy. Can't say who it was - no clue at all.

I've just had a call from this number where nobody said a word. I'm going to take the plunge and report it to the Information Commissioner's Office. If everyone bands together and fights back against these nuisance silent calls, perhaps we can put such businesses in their place once and for all.
