The first call I got was from a guy with a fairly strong Asian accent who politely claimed they were conducting a survey about public services for the EU commission. I was a bit busy and also a bit wary of the accent, so I told them I didn’t have a moment and ended the call. Since then, they’ve blown up my phone like a dozen times and now whenever I answer, they just hang up straight away. What’s the deal with these calls anyway?

This bloke said he was doing a survey for the European Commission, but the questions were super dodgy. When I asked where he was calling from, he said he wasn’t from the UK but from Germany. His accent was totally off and when I started speaking in German, he just hung up. Definitely felt like some kind of scam.

Said he was conducting a survey for the European Commission, but the questions I caught were confusing and sounded dodgy. When I asked which department he was calling from, his answers were really sketchy. He claimed to be from Germany, but the accent didn’t match at all. When I spoke back to him in German, he just hung up. Definitely seems like a scam to me.

The caller ID just said "international" and I got caught a few times, they just hang up and the line goes dead. I only pick up if it’s mates or family overseas. But now I know their actual names show up, so no way I’m falling for it again. Such a nuisance they are. Tried phoning back once and got an American voice message with a phone number. Like I said, not happening to me again!

It's peculiar, really. The phone just keeps ringing without anyone picking up, then it disconnects abruptly. I tried ringing back, but the message I received is puzzling-apparently, the line isn’t operational, and I'm encouraged to verify the number I dialled. Oddly enough, it doesn’t sound like a typical BT message, which raises my suspicions. Feels like something dodgy is going on with their voicemail system.

They keep ringing and ringing. I picked up the other day and told them I wasn’t interested, but a few days later they called again. What annoyed me even more was the woman who phoned this time left a message on my answerphone saying ‘Hello... hello’ like she was a mate - which I thought was really unprofessional and not on at all.

It's absolutely maddening! They’ve been ringing me at the exact same hour every single day for the past month. I've put them on my blocked list, but they keep trying to get through. I attempted to ring them back to express my irritation, but of course, no one picks up!

I've received yet another bothersome call from this number, even though my Call Guardian phone is informing them that the line is blocked. I've reported the matter once again to the Information Commissioner's Office. Much like a lot of others who have been hounded by this caller, I'm on the TPS register. Clearly, that doesn’t seem to make much difference, does it?

Got a call from someone claiming to be with the European Commission, asking about public services. She mentioned it was for a report linked to us leaving the EU. She came across as very polite and friendly, not pushy at all. Said the survey was anonymous and was fine if I didn’t want to answer some questions. Seemed genuine enough to me.

These blokes keep calling me non-stop, every blooming hour of the day, all week long! I’ve picked up a few times, and they keep rambling on about all sorts of surveys - house, room, bank, you name it. It's always some chap with a distinctly Indian accent. Sometimes the line just goes silent, while other times they stay on the line without uttering a word. It's all quite strange, to say the least. They really ought to be put in their place! I’m off to block their number now, which is a right nuisance because it shouldn't have come to that.

Got a call at 8:55 in the evening, didn't expect anyone to be calling that late. The person said they were from the European Commission conducting a survey about local services. When I said I wouldn’t answer any questions and asked where they got my number from, they said it was listed with the European Commission 'cause it’s a government thing or something. I then told them to take my number off their list and never call again before I ended the call.

I’ve put a halt to answering my landline until I’m able to dial 1471. This number has been ringing me incessantly, sometimes twice daily, at all hours! It’s infuriating; they only seem to wait until I answer before cutting the call without uttering a word. It’s utterly revolting. Why is there no way to put an end to this? It honestly feels akin to being harassed. Absolutely dreadful!
