I received an incredibly bland sales call from an Indian gentleman who seemed more interested in my credit card information than anything else.

I've flagged this number for the second time now and I’ll continue to do so due to their incessant harassment! Best of luck dealing with those fines. Since it’s the second report, they’re bound to look into it and they'll probably face penalties for violating the do-not-call registry. You’ve really played yourself, mate!

I received a call the other day from someone claiming to be from BT, stating that I’d overpaid £60 this month. He wanted me to provide my Visa card information to process a refund! As soon as I asked for his contact information so I could ring him back, he abruptly ended the call. Very suspicious, if you ask me!

Blimey, how utterly inconsiderate! I received a call from this number, and upon informing them that my number is registered on the do-not-call list, they just hung up on me. Absolutely appalling! It’s not just rude; it’s against the law. I expect no more calls from you, thank you very much! Just to make it clear – if you happen to read this, consider this a fair warning! I've jotted down the date and time of your dubious call, and should you dare to ring again, I won’t hesitate to report you. That number doesn’t seem like a standard Aussie mobile – it’s far too long. Definitely comes from overseas, which makes it all the more dodgy!

Had a call from a number that didn’t utter a word before hanging up. On a related note, I’ve recently found out that as a BT customer, I can access BT Protect at no extra cost. This nifty feature lets me add pesky numbers to my blocklist, which sends them straight to a junk voicemail box. I’ve only just begun using it, so it's all a bit fresh for me!

Received a call from a chap with an Indian accent bright and early at half past seven this morning—can you believe it, 7:30! Naturally, I wasn't having any of it and let him have a right earful. Since then, I've been dialling him repeatedly, and I intend to keep it up for the rest of the day and well into the night. It's an absolute hoot, knowing just how much it's bothering him, just like it did me! 😂

This number keeps ringing my elderly father, who is 72 and suffers from dementia. They call him relentlessly, both night and day, without fail. Fortunately, I happened to be with him when they rang today; I answered and, upon confronting the caller—a man with an Indian accent—he just cut the line. We’ve pleaded with them well over 20 times to cease their calls, yet they persist. Any idea on how I can effectively block this pesky number?

It appears Steven is still plying his dubious trade. Just today, I received a rather dubious call informing me that I ought to power up my computer, as apparently, he was ringing from Microsoft headquarters. He claimed to have received a report indicating that my machine was being compromised by a hacker and was riddled with viruses! Unbelievable, isn’t it?
I told him that I’ve got a bit of experience with computers myself and found it odd since I hadn’t even touched my computer the day before, which left me questioning the basis of his so-called information. At that point, he abruptly ended the call!
It’s a shame that these fraudsters can’t be put out of commission, as one day they might actually manage to ensnare someone unassuming and really mess up their computer.
Best of luck, everyone—just remember to firmly say NO!
