This number rang me earlier, so I looked it up and realised it was some kind of scam. I've blocked it now so they can't bother me again.

JOAN STRIKES AGAIN! Initially reported on 21st July 2023. That makes five calls in less than a year from her - she's on her third new number now… 0113 868 9119. She's phoned me from three different numbers scattered across the country! This time it’s 0113 868 9119. A woman with a rather distinctive slow manner of speaking introduces herself, “My name is Joan, and I am one of your energy consultants.” Oh, absolutely not! You’ve rung me four times over the past year, and each time I’ve requested that you remove my number, as we're ex-directory! It seems JOAN is determined to keep pestering me. Her voice has a husky tone, possibly from smoking, and she tries her best to sound a bit posher on the phone. I reiterated my request, and she promptly hung up. The Telephone Preference Service has been notified again. She’s previously contacted me from… 0161 524 2881 and… 0203 906 1222.

Got a call from a woman with a really gravelly, kinda posh-sounding voice who says she’s an “Expert Energy Advisor.” It’s the fourth time she’s rung this year. Even though she promised the first time to take us off her list, she keeps bothering us. When I tell her again to stop calling, she just hangs up on me. Today’s call was from a different number but definitely the same lady with that same odd way of speaking. The latest number is 01615242881.

I received no response, and there was no voicemail left.

Got a call about a car accident, but it was definitely a scam.

Received a call claiming that I was involved in a mishap. As if! I pretended to remember, just to play along for a moment. When they probed if I’d contacted a solicitor, I decided enough was enough and hung up. I might have mentioned having spilled a coffee or two, but honestly, who falls for this nonsense? I’d advise steering clear of this number-it’s clearly dodgy!

I received a call claiming I had been part of an accident-what a joke! Naturally, I played along and said I remembered it. They inquired whether I’d reported it to a solicitor, but I decided to cut the conversation short. If I’d continued, I might’ve joked about the time I possibly spilled a mug of coffee! Seriously though, don’t pick up from this number; it’s clearly a scam!

I'm rather pleased that I’ve never engaged with those calls! I’ve been browsing through various consumer forums, and I can’t stress enough: if the number isn’t familiar or hails from an area I have no ties to, I simply don’t pick up. Honestly, these callers are as unscrupulous as they come - truly the bottom barrel! It baffles me how, despite years of ignoring these nuisances and their ever-changing numbers, they continue to bombard me. I’m just left to block and report them time and again. But it does make you wonder, what exactly are the ICO and Action Fraud doing about all this? These scams have been running rampant for yonks! Coincidentally, I encountered two persistent email scammers just today - is it too much to ask that companies like Microsoft, with their vast resources, actually tackle this sort of pond scum? I find myself questioning the point of blocking and reporting when it seems like nothing ever truly changes, and the harassment carries on unabated!

I wasn't familiar with the number, so I chose not to pick up. They didn't leave any voicemail either. I've gone ahead and blocked it.

Got a call on my landline today at 6pm from 02039061222. Didn’t pick up since it’s the fourth time I’ve had similar calls today - honestly, it’s pretty frustrating.

I got a call from a number showing up as "Tax Optimiser Limited." It was a lady talking about checking my roof and doing energy surveys. The moment I asked which property she meant, she just ended the call.

I just ended the call right away when I picked up.

I received calls from this number twice today, but oddly enough, there was no one on the other end when I answered. On the second attempt, after what felt like an eternity of silence - about thirty seconds, I reckon - I was greeted by a rather obvious automated voice that simply said “goodbye.” It's peculiar as I've had similar experiences with this number in the past.

Having recently made a purchase from Argos, I was prompted to provide my phone number for the sake of contact and delivery updates. Though I was hesitant, I complied. Since then, I’ve been inundated with numerous unsolicited calls from unknown numbers, and I can’t help but feel these irritating disturbances stem from sharing my number with Argos. I usually keep my digits private, only sharing them with my nearest and dearest. It's quite frustrating really!

I received a rather unsolicited call about loft insulation, and I firmly told the caller to refrain from ringing me ever again; I will be blocking her number posthaste. You see, after making a purchase, I was asked to provide my phone number for updates and delivery specifics. Since then, I've been bombarded by various cold calls and what I suspect are scams. It all started rather soon after that fateful interaction!

I didn't recognise the caller's number, so I opted not to pick up. It began with +44, which isn't typical for regular UK numbers, so I had my doubts about its authenticity.

I've received calls from this number a staggering six times on my mobile, and would you believe it, they've just rung my landline again, which makes it the third time! I've explicitly requested that they take my number off their list, but I'm not particularly optimistic about it. They're remarkably tenacious and quite bothersome, to be honest.

This marks the third occasion in which I’ve received a call from this woman over a span of seven months. It all began after I made various online electrical purchases during the Christmas season from places like Currys, John Lewis, Apple, and Vax. This time, I actually recognised her voice. She's an older lady, speaks with a distinctly British accent, and her voice has a gravelly tone, possibly due to smoking, and she tends to speak more slowly compared to the average person. During the initial call back in March 2023, she spoke over me when I inquired about the name of the customer she was attempting to reach. She claimed she was from our ‘energy provider’ but wouldn’t disclose the name of the company, instead launching into a spiel about energy efficiency. I informed her that we’re an ex-directory number and requested her to delete us from her records, at which point she promptly hung up. A few weeks later, I received another call from her. As she began her pitch, I immediately interjected with, “We are ex-directory, kindly remove this number from your files.” Again, she hung up. Today, I received the third call. She asked for the homeowner, and yet again, I recognised her voice. She repeated that she was from the 'energy provider.' I interrupted her, stating, “You’ve called several times; I recognise your voice and I’ve requested that you remove this number, as we are ex-directory.” She appeared somewhat startled, apologised, and then hung up. Honestly, for how many years must we keep re-registering with the Telephone Preference Service?
