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 receive calls from this number repeatedly throughout the day, yet they tend to disconnect just as I answer. It’s almost as if they can predict my response! How on earth can we put an end to these bothersome and unlawful 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 folks are downright unpleasant and quite offensive. They simply won’t let you go; it’s a case of handing you off to the next rep so they can chase their commission. They keep hounding you, presumably in the hopes that you’ll eventually find yourself in need of some dodgy double glazing. I’ve resorted to pretending I’m a fax machine and mimicking computer sounds-shshshshsh! It’s been ages since they’ve tried to ring me. On a brighter note, I reckon True Call is definitely the best solution.

These people are utterly unpleasant and downright discourteous. Once you get in their grasp, it's as if you're merely handed off to yet another salesperson hungry for their commission. They'll persistently pester you in the hope that one day you'll decide you need a new set of double-glazed windows or something equally unnecessary. I’ve taken to amusing myself by mimicking a fax machine, making all sorts of ridiculous computer-like sounds - shshshshsh, and so on. It's been ages since they've tried to ring me! That said, I must recommend True Call as a brilliant solution for avoiding such hassles.

I've received numerous calls from this number lately, with them prying about my name and asking me to participate in a brief survey. I've consistently declined, yet today I've been interrupted three times by them. I demanded to speak to a supervisor and had to raise my voice quite a bit to make it clear that I wished for my details to be erased from their records. At one point, I just hung up and let the poor chap ramble on by himself, which didn't take long before he finally ended the call.

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?

At the age of 71 and living with a disability, I'm finding myself inundated with calls - 9 from this particular number alone in just a couple of days! Today, I almost took a tumble while trying to answer the darn phone. I really only keep the phone for emergencies, so this is becoming quite distressing. I'm in need of some assistance here, if anyone can offer advice.

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.

What a bother these pesky telemarketers can be! I would highly recommend investing in a TrueCall device; it’s undoubtedly one of the wisest purchases I’ve made in recent times. It effectively permits calls from the people you actually want to speak to while effortlessly filtering out those unwanted nuisances. The best part? Scammers eventually throw in the towel when they realise they can't get through to you. Setting it up is a breeze, and you can even keep tabs on it via your iPad or computer. It’s incredibly adaptable and, trust me, it genuinely does the job!

I've had calls from 02085973982 several times. One bloke was really sharp with me when I mentioned I was ex-directory and said he was going against data protection laws. Definitely not impressed.

I've been receiving calls from these folks around three times daily, all before 6pm, plus a couple more around 7:30 and 8:30 in the evening. This has been dragging on for the past four days now. I've informed them that the individuals they're looking for have sadly passed away and don’t reside at this number anymore. I've even pointed them in the right direction, but nothing seems to do the trick!

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.

I've had enough of this number ringing me multiple times each day. They occasionally switch up a digit, like with 002085973982, but the message remains the same. It can be from either a bloke or a woman, and the moment I catch wind of the recorded voice, I just slam the phone down. What a bother!

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.

This morning, at around half-past nine, I received a rather puzzling call. They greeted me with a simple "hello" and then the line went dead. Over the past few weeks, I’ve received a fair few of these calls. One time, I actually conversed with someone and informed them I had no interest, yet they persisted in their conversation, prompting me to hang up. Now, I refuse to pick up when I see that number flash on my screen. Morning peace is precious, and the early calls really disrupt it! Most of the time, the voice on the other end sounds foreign, making it hard to grasp what they’re saying, so I’m just opting to ignore them in hopes they’ll tire of trying to reach me soon.

I’ve had it up to here with this number! After four incessant calls today without so much as a spoken message, I finally picked up to see what the fuss was about. The chap on the line was barely comprehensible, and to add insult to injury, he wanted me to confirm my personal information, such as my name and address. He even had the cheek to mention that the call was “monitored for security purposes”. Honestly, what a joke! Do yourselves a favour and BLOCK this number. It’s definitely a scammer on the other end. Consider this your fair warning!

Watch out for those dodgy characters fishing for personal details that they can exploit. Once they’ve gathered enough intel on you, they might try to convince you they're on the up-and-up, or worse, hawk your information to others. This can lead to a barrage of relentless attempts to snaffle your bank information or pull off some other con. And trust me, they simply don't take no for an answer. They tend to focus particularly on the older generation, which is truly shameful. These scoundrels deserve a proper public shaming, if you ask me!

This morning around half past nine, I got a rather unsettling call. When I picked up, the individual on the other end inquired about someone who wasn't around. Upon hearing that, they abruptly accused me of being dishonest, exclaiming, "You're lying! You're a liar!" I found that rather shocking, so I simply replied, "Excuse me?" before hanging up.

I've received a barrage of eight calls within just two days, all claiming to be from some sort of consumer research firm.
