They've called my home phone about four times within a couple of hours. I always let it ring out to voicemail and never pick up. No messages left either. Seems like a really pushy scam, though I’m not sure what they’re after.

Got a call from someone calling himself "Samantha" (quite suspicious). They said they were from "Call Blocking" but if you keep asking questions, they just hang up. Total scam, watch out!

The caller claimed to be representing B.T. and even had the audacity to impersonate a senior member of staff. That’s when I decided it was best to hang up.

When the caller asked my husband to confirm his name, he just ignored it and didn’t pick up. Honestly, if you’re unsure, it’s best to not do anything and then look up the number later. If it turns out to be legit, you can always make a call back. We honestly think this is a scam call.

Got a call from someone with an Asian accent telling me my Call Blocking would be upgraded the next day. When I mentioned that it clearly needed an upgrade since it hadn’t stopped his call, he just dropped the line.

Got a call from some bloke with a weird accent claiming to be from a call blocking company. I was suspicious right from the start, figured it was a scam. Played along just to find out what they were up to. Then he said he's passing me on to his supervisor, and I heard a weird click. I thought maybe he'd sent me to some premium-rate number or something. Decided to just hang up then and there!

Got a phone call from a woman who spoke really badly and said she was from some “call blocking dept.” When I asked if they respected the caller preference rules, she had no clue what I was on about! Honestly, anyone who ends up signing up for whatever scam they’re running deserves better warned. Feels bad for people who might get tricked by these lot.

Got a call from this number thrice today, but every time it went straight to voicemail with no message left. I checked online and every review I found was bad. Definitely looks like another scam.

I got a call from someone saying they could block calls for me. I told him that a) that service is actually free through the TPS and b) his call was breaking TPS rules anyway! He just ended the call after that.

I've received multiple calls on my home phone from this number. Each time I answer, I’m met with that annoying unobtainable tone. Quite baffling! This has been happening since November 2022.

When I answered with a simple "Hello?" the bloke on the other end said hello back. Something felt off, so I just stayed quiet after that. He repeated hello a few times before hanging up. I do this quite often since I don’t have caller ID. If they don’t say my name first, I usually just keep quiet and don’t bother.

Got a call from a woman with an Asian accent who said my landline was going to be disconnected. She didn’t get to finish her spiel because I blasted her with a high-pitched dog whistle straight into the phone. Tried ringing back after, but the number just wouldn’t connect. Total scam, watch out!

Got a call from someone claiming to be the Call Blocking Department, said there’s an upgrade happening tomorrow. Seemed fishy, so I just ended the call. Seriously, what legit company tells you about an upgrade with less than a day’s notice? Doesn’t add up to me.

Some bloke with an Asian accent called me, said his name was Adam or something. Seriously, how do they not get that name alone is a massive red flag for a scam? He wanted to discuss my phone number, I told him to jog on. Not surprisingly, he just hung up. Just another dodgy call as expected.

This Asian bloke’s been ringing me weekly for the past three weeks. He started praising my call blocking service, got halfway through his spiel, then asked if I was following him. I told him I was just listening to the news, and before I could say more, he hung up on me! He’s called again since but it was just silence, and the call came from Isle of Arran, Scotland. Strange stuff.

Got a call from 02045205616 around 10 in the morning on the 9th of August. Some lady with an accent said something about me maybe getting spam calls and that they offer a blocking service. Honestly, I felt a bit iffy about it and decided to just hang up straight away. Felt dodgy to me.

020 4520 5616 rang me earlier. When I answered, all I heard was silence, like they were waiting for me to say something before speaking. Normally I don’t pick up unknown numbers, but this time I did because I was expecting a call and my phone doesn’t show who’s calling. Usually, when I don’t answer, I just get a long ringing before hanging up. Feels like one of those unwanted calls to me.

Got a call from a bloke with an Asian accent, telling me they were upgrading my call blocking to stop spam calls from overseas. Kinda funny, right? Then he asked if I pay my bills via direct debit. I told him I wasn’t sure. After that he just hung up. What freaked me out was he seemed to know my account was actually under someone else’s name, not mine.

This number has been ringing me daily with nothing but weird static sounds, always around the same time. But today, someone actually answered - a guy with an Indian accent saying he was from some call blocking company. He told me my current blocker was old and I had to get a new one. I told him to remove my number from whatever list he had and to stop phoning me. Definitely a dodgy scam, if you ask me.

This isn't the first occasion this month that I've encountered a pesky caller or scam artist. This particular chap was trying to assist me in making a PPI claim. He definitely sounded like he was reciting something off a script. And, as is often the case, he sported a foreign accent.

Got a ring from a bloke in India using this number, saying he was from BT. His English was terrible, and I had no clue what he was trying to pull off. I told him I didn’t own a phone, hoping he’d get the hint. Didn’t faze him one bit, he just carried on chatting away. I repeated I haven’t got a phone, so I couldn’t speak with him. After that, I ended the call. Might’ve been some dodgy scam, but honestly these lot don’t seem very clever - just hang up, it’s the best thing to do!

This number rang me and the person on the other end was quite unpleasant. They knew my name, which was unsettling, and when I asked where they got my phone number from, they started shouting and being quite aggressive. I reckon it’s illegal to contact someone without their consent, so I’m left wondering how they ended up with my details.
