Got a really rude bloke ringin up asking if we’re “still in the market for office space”. I calmly told him we’ve never been interested and asked him nicely to take us off his call list. He snapped back with “fantastic your face” and then just slammed the phone down. With manners like that, no wonder he’s stuck doing dodgy sales calls!

Got a call at my work this morning, 8th August 2024, about 10 am. I barely started speaking when I guess he caught on to my American accent and realised he must’ve rang the wrong side of the Atlantic. Definitely seemed like a scam to me.

Got a call from someone saying they were with the London Economic Development Office, asking if I’d sorted out an office yet or if I was still searching. The number was already on my phone under nuisance calls, so I guessed they’d tried before. The person on the line sounded Asian, maybe from the Far East. I explained I’m self-employed and don’t have a proper business, and she just ended the call after that.

Got a call from +442039897163, sounded like a young bloke who might be Asian but spoke with an American twang. Claimed he was ringing from WA Business Directory in Australia and asked for all sorts of details like our management team’s names and personal email addresses. He was quite courteous about it though. Really curious why he was dialing in from London of all places 🥸 Seriously, just bugger off, don’t waste our time!

Just like countless others have pointed out, this caller seems to be quite persistent, inquiring whether we’re on the market and probing for extensive company information. Each time I suggest he share his email address or details with me, he abruptly ends the call. Even without providing any information, he continues to ring me up. The chap sounds Indian, and I’ve now had enough-he’s firmly on my blocked list. Quite unpleasant and rather pushy, to say the least!

I put this number on block, but somehow they called me again and it still showed as the same number. I had to block it once more. The 1st time, it was just a missed call and I thought it might be spam after looking it up. The next time, all I got was some weird heavy breathing.

Honestly, just hang up if you get a call from them!

Got a ring from a bloke with an Indian accent claiming he was from the 'London Economic Department'. He was asking if we’ve shifted offices yet and if we’ve managed to find a new spot. Then he wanted to know which office this phone was linked to and just ended the call. The number showed up as a London one, but when I tried calling back it doesn’t go through at all. Seems dodgy to me, probably a scam, though I’m not exactly sure what angle they’re playing at.

Then he wanted to know if I'd changed offices or was still interested. When I tried to find out who he usually speaks to, he started swearing at me because I didn’t know who was in charge of the office move. Definitely felt like a scam attempt. I ended the call and looked up the number, so I’m posting this here. Sometimes I think maybe scammers see it as a target if people just hang up on them.

I’m involved in the lease of office spaces, but I’ve encountered some pretty questionable practices. For instance, they often inquire whether you’ve secured a location, even if you’re not currently searching at all. It’s rather irritating. As soon as they realise you aren’t in the market, they abruptly cut the conversation short and hang up on you. Quite rude, if you ask me!

I've been inundated with calls from a business supposedly based in NSW, Australia-about several times throughout the week for the past couple of months. Every time, they claim to be reaching out from the so-called "Business Development Office," yet they stubbornly refuse to provide any official documentation to back up their claims. When I request some proof, they seem to lose their temper, which just makes it all the more suspicious.

I've had to deal with this so-called "Business Development Office" from NSW, Australia, on countless occasions over the past several months-occasionally even two or three times within the same day. Each time they contact me, they insist they're legitimate but seem utterly unwilling to furnish any evidence to back up their claims. The moment I press for details, they get all flustered and abruptly end the call. Quite clearly a scam, if you ask me!

We've had a similar experience here. A rather persistent caller claimed, "I'm ringing from the City of London. Are you still considering a move? How soon might that be? And how many people do you have in your office?" Now, I reside in London but outside of the Square Mile, so I quickly realised it was all a bit dodgy, likely fishing for information-perhaps on behalf of some estate agents. This person has bothered me about five times today alone! Thankfully, my caller ID lets me avoid them altogether now.

I've had three phone calls today and one last week from this same number. A woman on the line claimed to represent a company called Houses, saying she merely wanted to refresh their records with my company's latest information. When I firmly declined to share any personal details and suggested she look up everything online, she became quite indignant, saying something along the lines of, “Why are you being so impolite? Why are you interrupting me? I just want to explain...” To cut a long story short, I keep receiving calls from them, yet somehow I seem to be the one at fault. Quite the turn of events, isn't it?

I've had a bit of a run-in with some folk claiming to be from the Chamber of Commerce. They called to ask if we were considering a move regarding our property. Over the past fortnight, I've received three such calls. One chap named Angel hung up on me not once, but twice when I inquired about the purpose of their call. Then today, another caller was relentless in her questioning about whether we were planning a move. When I quizzed her on their interest, she mentioned they were updating their records for the department of development. I did confirm that we are indeed looking, but when she pressed for a timeline, I explained we didn’t have a specific date in mind. Nevertheless, she insisted on knowing if it might be 6 to 9 months or perhaps 1 to 2 years. I decided enough was enough and ended the call. Almost immediately, she rang back, this time speaking to a colleague, still extremely pushy and completely disregarding our wishes. I found her behaviour quite rude; it’s frustrating when people simply don't take no for an answer.
