I keep getting calls from this number and they always want to speak to someone called Mr Blake. I've told them once before that there's no one by that name at my place! Usually a bloke rings, but today it was a woman. I told her to find some proper work, like a checkout job at Tesco, where she wouldn’t be pestering people all day!

Got calls off 01896 242076, it’s a landline in Galashiels, Scottish Borders area. They kept ringin' asking for a bloke called 'Mr Blake,' but I always tell ‘em no such person lives here and they just hang up. Today I cheekily told the lass on the phone she should try working down Tesco at the checkout, might stop her botherin' folks all day! Blocked the number now anyway.

I just ignored it, seemed fishy and like one of those dodgy calls. Probably not genuine.

Got two calls today from this number. Normally, we just ignore calls from unfamiliar numbers since we get so many annoying ones, and they never bother to leave a voicemail.

I picked up the phone, said hello, and then this robotic voice just said goodbye and hung up. Just another one of those annoying robo calls!

I just got a call from 01896242076 and it was one of those annoying nuisance calls again. Honestly, these things need to be stopped because when a number starts with ‘border’ it makes you think it’s something important, which can be quite worrying. - caller: 01896242076

The moment I picked up, the person just ended the call straight away. Could be some kind of scam or just someone really rude who figured out they got the wrong number. Whatever it was, I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.

I picked up and the call just ended straight away. The number was from the Galashiels area code.

Somebody called asking for a Mr Gross, then wanted to know who owns the house. Definitely a spam call.

Called by this home improvement firm, trying to dodge the TPS by asking for some bloke called Mr Hillhouse or whatever. When I told them they'd got the wrong number, they still tried to push their sales talk on me. Proper annoying.

Just today around 11:20am on 30th May, I got yet another ring from the Home Energy Centre. The lady who answered, Yvonne, said she didn’t know the company’s actual phone number but insisted I could find out by dialling 1471. She had a bit of a 'west coast' accent and mentioned she was based ‘out West’. After I reminded her that my number is on the Telephone Preference Service list and that the call was unsolicited - which, honestly, seems pointless to me - we ended the chat without a word about energy. Afterwards, I called 1471 and got the number 01896 242 076 plus a message saying “Agent 1037’s voicemail is full and can't take any messages”! Since I’m in the Borders, I immediately recognised the area code as Galashiels. So scratch that, was she really “out West” or somewhere local like the Borders? When will these persistent nuisance calls stop? Surely it’s time for proper big fines to put a halt to this. - caller Yvonne, “The Home Energy Centre”

This company, Home Energy, won’t stop ringing me up! I told them to remove me from their calling list but they just hang up instead. It’s frustrating and I think something should be done. They claim to be working on behalf of the government or something. The caller was a bloke with a Scottish accent.
