Best thing to do is just ignore them and don’t pick up when those calls come through.

My mum, who’s 93, keeps getting these persistent phone calls from some folks who just won’t accept a no. They keep ringing us even though we’ve told them we can’t talk because there’s a family emergency and we’re waiting for an important call. It’s really not fair to pester her like this at her age.

Got another ring from those annoying BENEFITS UK lot. When I try to get their company info to lodge a complaint, they just cut me off. They used to be on my phone up to 4 times every day, but now I just shout like a lunatic into the phone, and it’s only about once daily now.

This number has rang me a bunch of times, always with some survey stuff. I told them a few times to stop calling, yet they just keep on ringing!

I got a call for the second time from some guy with a weird accent, asking if my dad was around. Thing is, he passed away nearly four years ago. I told him to piss off!

Got a call from a number showing as Wrexham, seemed like a local UK line. An Asian lady asked if I could spare a minute for a quick survey. I asked how she got my number since I’m ex-directory and always have been. She just cut me off right in the middle, really rude. Clearly an untrustworthy or dodgy outfit trying something fishy. Tried ringing back but the number didn’t exist anymore. Honestly, why don’t they make laws to stop these annoying cold calls?

They kept ringing me over and over, with a strange accent on the line. When I asked who was calling, they just cut off the call straight away. Really suspicious behaviour.

Got a call from 01978759568, a lady with an Asian accent asking me some questions for a survey. I told her to take me off their list, and she said thanks before ending the call.

Had a call from some annoying number, I picked up and as soon as I did, they just cut off. Definitely some scammers, best to just ignore those calls.

I’ve gotten a few calls from this number too. It’s always a bloke with an accent asking for someone who’s not me, then he just hangs up right after. Really confusing!

Got a call from 01978759568 - guy was mumbling about benefits but I couldn’t catch much. Strangely, he had my full name, address and postcode. When I asked him what’s the reason for the call, he just hung up on me. Weird to get a call like this from a North Wales number.

I've had like 4 or 5 calls from loads of different numbers, which I just block straight away. But it's no use 'cause they keep switching them up. They always mess up my last name when they say it, and keep talking about benefits stuff that doesn’t even concern us. Just another one to add to the blacklist!

These scammers/biters are best left alone. Don’t answer or respond, seriously. BE CAREFUL out there folks.

Honestly, these scammers are everywhere, easiest thing to do is just end the call straight away.

A bloke with an accent called me and tried to say my name, but he mangled it bad. I asked who he was before I said anything else and, without saying a thing, he just hung up on me.

Got a call from someone with a weird accent asking for a stranger. Didn't know them at all, so I've blocked the number now.

Got a call from a number I didn’t recognise. When I picked up, there was just silence on the other end. No one said anything.

I keep getting calls from 01978759568, like three or four times every day. It's always someone foreign asking me weird questions about benefits - totally nonsense. I'm on the TPS list, so why haven’t these calls been stopped yet? It’s really annoying!

Got a call from someone with a really strange accent asking for me by name. When I tried to find out who they were and what company they represented, they just hung up straight away. If this is meant to be from UK benefits, they've used at least five different numbers in the last few days alone.

Got a call from someone claiming to be ‘benefits uk’ but the voice had a weird foreign accent. They've called me loads before on different dodgy numbers. When I confronted them about it, they just hung up. One time, a woman even said she was gonna ring me every day just to annoy me after I told them to shove off because they weren't legit.

Got a call from a number I didn’t recognise, no one said a word and then it just hung up. Strange.
