I've received loads of missed calls from this number. Finally, I decided to answer and it was a young lady, who spoke with an Asian or Indian accent. She claimed to represent some sort of government-approved service aimed at clearing debts, and oddly enough, said it wouldn’t cost anything. Strangely, she seemed to know my first name, surname, and even the number of my house, information I seldom share. She was rather pushy, insisting I reveal how much debt I might have. However, after I politely turned her down for the second time, she abruptly disconnected the call!

We received a phone call from this number, and an Indian gentleman identifying himself as Mr. Gill said he was contacting us on behalf of Money Manager. Naturally, I was curious, so I asked him why they were calling and how they managed to get our number. I needled this information out of them since our number is registered on the telephone preference service.

Once more, ten weeks on, these callers are back at it. This time, there’s dead silence on the line, and after a few minutes, they simply hang up - it’s not a quick disconnect but rather the unmistakable sound of the receiver being placed down. Curious, we decided to ring the number ourselves, and to our astonishment, someone answered. We politely asked to be removed from their calling list and gave them our number. The person on the other end confirmed our identity and assured us they would delete our information as soon as they could. We'll be in touch again if we receive another call.

I recently had a call from someone claiming to be with the Global Advice Bureau. They mentioned being "endorsed by the United Kingdom government," which immediately raised my eyebrows. When I inquired about which department they were representing, they refused to divulge any specifics, stating they were "not permitted to disclose that information." I naturally asked for their telephone number, and once again, to my astonishment, they said they were "not authorized to share that either." Quite the dodgy conversation, if you ask me!

I've been receiving calls for the past three weeks now. When they ring, I’ve taken to asking, "What on earth do you want?" to which I often get a response like, "Apologies, sir, must’ve been a poor connection; could you say that again?" We willingly oblige, and it seems that they start to grasp the hint and promptly hang up. They just don’t seem to take the hint, but I must admit, it does provide a tiny bit of amusement!

Today, this number rang our landline while we were out and about, so we missed the call. To find out who it was, we dialled '1471', only to learn it was this particular number.

They just gave us a bell and had the audacity to hurl some insults my way, so naturally, we decided to end the call. I mean, what else were we meant to do?

I received a call earlier today from a woman with a noticeable accent. She claimed to be from Microsoft and was inquiring about the number of error messages we've been encountering on our computer. Honestly, we found it utterly hilarious and couldn’t help but burst into laughter, to the point of tears. Eventually, she hung up on us!

We've managed to get a bit more insight into who the caller might be now that the caller ID is visible. As such, we're not going to answer if they ring again. This website has provided some handy information that proved rather useful.

We experienced something similar, receiving three missed calls in quick succession. The phrase "Not authorised" seemed to be their catchphrase. Eventually, I managed to glean that these callers are based in South Asia, but when I pressed for contact information for the UK office, I was met with total stonewalling. Quite the frustrating encounter, indeed!

I received a call from this number earlier this evening. It was an Indian or possibly Asian woman on the line. She claimed to be affiliated with the Global Advice Bureau and said they were sanctioned by the government to help us eliminate our debts. We politely declined their offer, which seemed to upset her quite a bit, and she abruptly hung up. Despite being registered with the Telephone Preference Service, it doesn't seem to deter the barrage of nuisance calls we're getting - we're averaging two to three a day!

I've had enough of these incessant calls! Despite making it clear that we want them to stop, they continue to bombard us with their nonsense. It's particularly infuriating because they even tried to drag our 17-year-old son into their schemes. Absolutely ridiculous!

Received a call from 01869228647, and when we answered, it was just an awkward silence after a few "hi's." Isn’t this verging on harassment? We’ve made it clear to these callers that we don’t entertain such nonsense. We strictly keep our home number private; it’s only there for internet purposes. Whenever they finally manage to respond, we tell them to erase our number from their records or we bombard them with fabricated details. “No, that’s not our address; no, that’s not us,” and so on. It seems incessantly bothering folks by phone has become the latest trend, hasn’t it?

An exceedingly irritating woman from abroad rang up, attempting to reach someone who doesn’t reside at this number. I had a hunch about who she was looking for. When we asked her to identify herself, she became quite defensive and absolutely declined to share any details. So, we decided to end the call on that note.

Received a couple of calls earlier today from a firm pushing unsecured loans. Honestly, I'm grateful that I've never succumbed to filling out any forms for those online loan companies. Lately, I've been bombarded with numerous calls and texts from various firms just like this one. This particular one, Global Advice Bureau, was frankly quite rude and hung up on me as soon as I declined their offer or requested my number be removed from their list. Ridiculous, really!

Something similar happened to me recently. After a pause, a lady with an Indian or Asian accent called and asked for me by my first name. She named a company that had “finance” in it, which made me suspicious right away. Since I also work in a call centre, I knew that if I ask where they got my info from, they’re legally obliged to tell me. When I asked her, she dodged the question and went straight into her spiel. I pressed her a couple of times and even requested to speak to a supervisor, but she just hung up on me. I tried calling the number back but got a recorded message with an American accent saying the number was disconnected. My landline’s only been active for about three weeks and I’m signed up with the TPS. Does anyone know how to completely block these annoying calls?

I've had that annoying thing happen two times now where there's this 3 second pause followed by some robotic female voice just saying "goodbye". It's soo frustrating and totally useless. Hopefully they fix that problem quickly.

Some weirdo called me and asked for Lee, but I said, "Who’s this?" Then some Indian guy started saying he was from some company I couldn’t catch. I quickly told him I wasn’t Lee, I was Derek - just the first name that came to mind. Then it got really daft. He goes, “What happened?” I said, “Nothing.” Then he asks again, “What happened?” This went on for ages, like 3 more times, until I lost it and told him to f*** off and hung up. Not even half a minute later, he rings back making these weird noises like something out of a kids’ show or something. Totally bizarre! Anyway, I called the number myself just now and an American woman’s voice said it’s not in service. Weird, isn’t it?

Totally agree with you, Dr Apu. BT hires folks overseas who sell our numbers, then when you call them back, they claim 'this happens all the time.' BT's customer support says they can’t do anything since the calls come from abroad, but it’s actually their own overseas teams doing this! They really should be looked into and reported, especially those Asian contractors. The UK has lots of jobless people but they’re pushing their work outside. Big British firms shouldn’t be allowed to outsource like this! No offence to Asia, but BT’s the real problem here. Over the past month, I’ve been getting over 4 calls an hour with the same nonsense - you pick up and some robot just says “GOODBYE.” What’s even the point? The more you complain to BT, the more the calls keep coming. It’s a fact!

These muppets actually earn a cut from every debt or loan they push through, basically acting as middlemen paid by debt firms and lenders. It's hilarious 'cos there aren't many proper jobs around in the UK, yet they’re able to fork out wages to clueless folks overseas. Maybe if they hired more people locally, folks wouldn’t be drowning in debt! But then again, that’d mean these snakes would be out of a job. What a bunch of dodgy blokes!

For ages now I've been getting these calls and I just ignore them. I even got in touch with the TPS but they said they can't block the number. I'm ex-directory, so it's a mystery how they even got hold of my number. Feels like no one's able to stop this, it's really beginning to feel like harassment.

I got a call from this number the other day and it was a bloke who immediately asked for me by my first name. I thought something was fishy, so I told him the person he wanted wasn’t here. I was about to ask if I could take a message but then he just hung up on me! Has anyone got any idea who might be calling from this number?

I kept getting missed calls from this number so I finally picked up. A woman with an Asian or Indian accent said she was calling from a government-backed programme that helps clear debts for free. She actually knew my first initial, last name, and even my home phone number, which I hardly ever share. She kept pushing me to say if I had any debts and how much, but once I told her twice I wasn’t interested, she just ended the call. Pretty annoying tbh!
