I keep getting calls every single day with voicemails about me supposedly signing up for some market research, which I definitely haven’t done. Today, a woman named “Virginia Line” left a message saying it was a follow-up to an email they supposedly sent me from the Financial Conduct Authority. The thing is, I’ve never got any email from them nor have I ever dealt with the FCA in any way. It’s really starting to get on my nerves.

I’ve just received a call of a similar nature, where the caller claimed to be reaching out for Motability feedback. I made it clear that I’m not in a position to take calls due to my health and asked for any correspondence to be via email instead. They then inquired if I would be willing to provide my thoughts online for market research, and I agreed. The woman on the line seemed quite credible and professional, which honestly makes me a bit uneasy...

This company keeps calling me even after I blocked them, they just dont stop. The only way to deal with it is to report them to OFCOM. Ive heard theres a rule now saying these companies can only ring you three times, which should help. Honestly, this lot are proper idiots.

Got a call just after 8 in the evening from 02039178590. Rang it back and it didn’t say anyone picked up but the call timer kept going. Tried calling again and the same thing happened. So figured if they really wanna speak to me, they’ll ring me back.

Like a lot of others mine was just a silent call but watch out if you ring back: Calling 02039178590 from a home phone might charge you up to 13p per minute, sometimes there’s an extra 'connection' charge between 19p and 22p; if you use your mobile, it could be anywhere from 3p to 55p a minute depending on your provider. They’re basically making cash by dialing you, hanging up, and waiting for you to call them back.
