They keep ringing me even though I told them to stop, and they're all from Asian numbers. I'm registered with the TPS as well, but it looks like nothing's working to make them quit.

I’ve had this number call me repeatedly, asking for my wife, Evelyn, saying they need to ask her some questions. It’s really upsetting because my wife passed away back in January 2012. When I tell them this, they just hang up without even saying sorry.

I keep gettin calls from them loads of times every day, but mostly they just drop the call before I even get a chance to speak. Maybe they’re scared of what I might say!
Does anyone know how to put a stop to these annoying, probably illegal, calls?

I've had two calls from them already today, and I reckon there'll be more. They say they're phoning from Life UK to ask about lifestyle stuff. My number's on the TPS list, so it's a bit cheeky. Both times it was Asian accents; the first was a bloke, then a woman. She struggled to say my name properly, needed three tries at least.

These people are so disrespectful and horrible. They never actually take you off their list, instead just passing you along to another caller who’s desperate to make their sale. They won't stop bugging you, probably hoping someday you'll actually want whatever junk they're selling. I started pretending my phone was a fax machine and made weird static noises like shshshshshsh, you know, just to mess with them. Since then, they haven’t called once in ages. Honestly, True Call is the best solution to deal with these nuisance calls.

These people are so impolite and aggressive. They won’t take you off their list, just pass you to another agent desperate to make a sale. They keep ringing constantly, you never know when you might be tempted by their crappy windows or whatever. I once started making weird sounds like a fax machine or a computer loading, like shshshshshsh, and suddenly they stopped calling me for quite a while. Honestly though, True Call seems like the best solution to block these pests.

This number has rung me a bunch of times asking to confirm my name and see if I’d take part in a quick survey. I always say no. But today, they called me three times! I asked to speak with a manager and had to nearly yell before he heard me and agreed to take me off their list. At one point, I just hung up and ignored whatever he was saying, and he quickly ended the call after that.

I genuinely believed those irritating calls had come to a halt, but alas, they’ve resumed today. Perhaps my shenanigans with a voice modulator ruffled their feathers. The callers have been quite vile, incessantly hurling the term "Mother F******" at me. Whenever I mention that I'm on the Telephone Preference Service and inquire about their company, it’s just the same barrage of curses in response. I’m pinning my hopes on the call-blocking feature on my landline to finally rid myself of these nuisances, though I'm not entirely certain if the number they ring from bears an area code or not.

They refuse to say which company they represent and don’t give a phone number to call back. Seems like a call centre operating abroad, but using this number. I’m trying to figure out what business they claim to be working for. Anyone knows a good way to get this info?

I'm 71 and have a disability, and this number has rung me 9 times in just two days. Today, I almost took a tumble trying to get to the phone. I only keep it for emergencies... really hope someone can help with this.

They keep ringing non-stop but it’s not about trying to sell me anything. Proper weirdos, honestly.

It’s mad how these companies know your name even when I’m on the TPS and my number’s unlisted! Had a call from someone with an Asian accent claiming to do a survey. Luckily, my phone can block numbers, so I’m definitely going to start using that after reading others’ experiences. So sick of these calls! Oliveoil.

This number, 02085973982, has been calling non stop even tho I ignore it. I just use 1471 to find out who’s calling and jot down the number and the times they ring. They called me two times just this morning!

This number, 02085973982, has called me about four times. When I told one of the operators that I’m ex-directory, they were pretty rude and didn’t seem to care they were possibly breaching data protection rules. Not impressed at all.

Got a load of annoying telemarketers ringing me non stop, so I decided to try one of those TrueCall devices. Honestly, best purchase I've made in ages. It lets the calls I actually want come through but shuts out all the spammy ones. The dodgy companies seem to stop bothering once they realise they can't get hold of you anymore. Super simple to get going and you can keep an eye on it from your tablet or laptop. Fairly straightforward and it does the job brilliantly.

For the past four days, I've been getting calls like three times before 6pm and then a couple more around 7.30 and 8.30 at night. I keep telling them the person they’re asking for has died, that nobody lives here anymore, and I’ve told them off proper, but they just keep ringing anyway. Nothing seems to stop them.

Im really annoyed with these calls, they buzz my phone a couple times daily and mostly just hang up straight away. Occasionally they say something, but it’s usually hard to catch what they’re on about. Seems like it’s some survey related to the UK. And I’m even on the phone preference list!

Yesterday they called me three times, and already four times today! I’m a care worker on call, so I told them politely not to keep blocking my phone, but they just kept ringing every hour. Got fed up and was a bit blunt with them, and surprisingly they called straight back. It’s like they enjoy being told off. I’ve even said I’ll take legal action for harassment, but they still keep calling. Honestly, I’m really over it now.

They've been ringing my elderly mum a bunch of times the past few days. She’s a bit hard of hearing and usually just replies with "no thanks," but they don’t seem to get the hint and carry on calling. From what others say, it sounds the same. I just answered one and the caller, who sounded Asian, said his name was Adam and wouldn't accept a simple "no thanks." Planning to report this, Dave.

This number keeps bugging me with multiple calls every day. They even switch up a digit now and then, like 002085973982 or something similar. The callers use the same spiel, sometimes it’s a bloke, other times a lass. Once I catch the voice, I just put the phone down straight away.

Over the past few days, I kept ignoring calls from this number. But today, I picked up and told them straight away to stop calling me. Yet, they rang me two more times after that. Each time, I reminded them to quit phoning me. Honestly, I doubt they’ll listen at all.

Got a call from this number around half past nine this morning, they just said hello then hung up. Over the past few weeks, they've called quite a bit. I finally picked up and told them I wasn't interested, but they kept going on, so I just ended the call. Now I don't bother picking up when I see the number because I know who's calling, but getting a call that early really messes with my morning. The person on the other end always has a foreign accent, which makes it hard to follow, so I've just been ignoring it and hoping they’ll quit calling soon.

I got a call asking for my husband who has a disability, but my son picked up and ended the call. The same person called again and started swearing before just hanging up.

Had four calls from this number today and not a single voicemail left. Got fed up and finally picked up to find out what they wanted. The bloke on the other end was really hard to understand, and the first thing he asked was for my personal info like name and address. Then he went on about the call being recorded for security - yeah right. Honestly, just block this number and don’t bother answering if it rings. Definitely sounds like a scam, so stay clear!

It's obvious these are fraudsters trying to gather as much info about you as they can. Once they've got their little file on you, they'll either pretend to be for real using that info or sell it off to someone else who’ll call you up trying to trick you out of your bank details or worse. And don’t think they quit easily - especially if they're targeting older folks, they are relentless. Honestly, these crooks deserve a proper public punishment!

So this morning around half past nine I got a call. When I picked up, the caller asked for someone who wasn’t home. Then suddenly they started accusing me, saying things like "you’re lying, you’re a liar." I was shocked, just said "excuse me?" and hung up straight away.

I dialled 1471 to check the number that just rang me, and when I tried ringing back right away, no one picked up. Then I heard some automated voice say I couldn’t leave a message since their voicemail was full or something. It was a bit worrying not being able to get through or even drop a quick note.
