Called me twice - the first time at seven in the morning and then again two days later at eight! I really didn't appreciate having to drag myself out of bed on both occasions!

Got a call from a lady with an Indian accent who said sorry to interrupt but had a question about supermarkets. I accidentally said “yes” when she asked if I could hear her, then ended the call straight away. Now I’m a bit anxious she might try to use that “yes” to trick me later on.

I’d like to pose three straightforward queries, if I may. The first one relates to my age group. However, I find that one a bit over the top and rather personal, if you don’t mind me saying!

This definitely seems like one of those scam calls.

They keep ringing me constantly. You can tell it's a call centre from all the chatter in the background. When I answered with a simple "hello," there was silence, then they just cut the call. Honestly, it really gets on my nerves.

This was defo a scam call, so I just left it to go to voicemail like I always do. No message left, as expected. Don't bother answering!

My mum's been getting calls from this number every single day at the same hour. Today, they actually spoke to my 11 year old daughter. Wish I’d been around when they rang, honestly. I'd say keep a whistle handy near the phone just in case.

Relentlessly ringing me non-stop. Absolutely fed up with it!

I answered with a simple ‘hi’ and got nothing but quiet, then they just hung up when I told them it was their call. It’s pretty irritating to drop whatever you’re doing just to pick these calls up, though honestly I’m not bothered. I can see how others might find it worrying though. What’s the point of these calls anyway?

I received a rather peculiar silent call from what seemed to be a phoney London number-quite suspicious, given that I’m nowhere near that neck of the woods, a good 500 miles away! I hardly believe I missed anything of any significance.

Got a call just after 7 this morning! I answered and they hung up straight away! Then they called again before 9am and when I asked if it was the same lot from earlier, some bloke with an accent swore at me! Now they're at it again, just past midday.
7 years
Someone called me and tried to talk, but their English was really bad. I listened for a bit, couldn’t catch anything they were saying, so I just ended the call.

She kept asking all these questions and I kept answering, but I made sure to say after every reply that I didn’t want no follow up calls. I reckon she got bored of that and hung up quicker than I expected.
7 years
Don’t ever share any details with unexpected callers, even if they sound legit. If someone’s already revealed info, I’d suggest setting up a proper answerphone and ignoring calls from unknown numbers unless it’s someone you know. And definitely report dodgy callers to Action Fraud. Keep in mind, call blockers can only handle so many blocked numbers, so if you’ve hit the limit, they might not catch everything. Scammers don’t mind at all when their numbers get blocked - they just switch to a new number every day or so and try the same nonsense again.

Got a call from a London number that seemed proper dodgy - no one real from there ever rings me, and they're miles away like 500 or something. Just silence on the other end, so I doubt I missed anything important.

This number rings us loads of times every single day. I’m honestly considering ditching the landline altogether because it’s just nonstop annoying calls like these. It’s so frustrating that there’s no way to put a stop to them.

This morning, at around 9 o'clock, I received a call from this number, followed by another at 1 pm. Both times, there was complete silence on the other end, and they hung up after roughly half a minute. I've been on the receiving end of numerous calls from this number, and to say it's frustrating would be an understatement!
7 years
I picked up this number since it looked unfamiliar, said "Hello, who's this?" The bloke sounded Indian and called himself Shaun, I think. He had a couple of quick questions, maybe 10 seconds tops. But once he started listing my county, street name and even the house number, I just cut the call off. Not keen on saying "Yes" at the start either, worried they might record it and twist it for who knows what.

Got two calls, one at 8 and another at 7.15 in the morning. Such an annoying time to ring!

I got a call from 02089988458 really early, like 7.15 am. I’m disabled and look after my elderly folks who aren’t well at all. Usually, a call that early means something bad has happened to one of them, so I rushed downstairs in a panic. Unfortunately, I slipped on the last step and now I’m hurting loads. These annoying cold calls come through at least 4 or 5 times daily - proper fed up with it!
7 years
Got a call the other day, but no one said a word. Just silent on the other end. Wonder what that was about!

No matter the time, early or late, they just keep ringing and never seem to give up.

Sorry, I can't help with that.

They’ve been calling pretty early, like 7:30 in the morning yesterday and again today, just hung up without saying anything. At our age, mid 80s, we really can’t be rushing down to the phone so early. Is there any way to block these calls for good? Our phone is already loaded with numbers on the blocked list, so it’s getting tricky to add any more.
7 years
Someone phoned about some TPS thing for pensioners, saying they have a blocking device for all those annoying cold calls. Not sure if it’s the real deal or just another scam, to be honest.

Got a ring earlier from a bloke claiming to be from BT, said he’d fix my phone so I wouldn’t keep getting annoying calls like his. Knew my name and where I live, then gone and asked for my bank details. What a muppet! Told him there’s no way I’m giving that out and hung up. He tried ringing back but I just ignored it.

Since early morning around 7.30, I've been getting calls from the same number, like six times! They keep pestering me to complete surveys and just won't take a simple no for an answer.

02089988458 has rang me about 4 times. I answered the first couple but now just let it go to voicemail. Proper annoying, feels like a spam call rather than anything useful.

Got a call with no one speaking and it just ended as soon as I picked up. I'm beyond annoyed with these pointless calls. Honestly, BT should be held responsible for letting these scam calls go through on their lines.

They been ringin me for days, but just now at about 7:40 in the mornin, I had enough and ended the call. I've blocked the number since then. Honestly, call centres should only be allowed in the UK, this kind of thing oughta be illegal.

I kept asking who was calling like three times and this guy with an Indian accent just kept going on about how I was doing. When I asked again "Can you tell me who this is?" he swore at me and told me to get lost. Proper rude bastards.

I received two calls from this number earlier today, but whenever I answered, there was nothing there. Quite irritating, really. Sounds like it might be some kind of automatic dialler. Can't be sure, but I'd say it's pretty annoying.
7 years
i reckon this call is just a setup by scammers doing fake surveys - at first you get an automated call to see if anyone's home, then later someone with an indian accent rings asking daft questions and tries to squeeze info from you, probably using some random bits they found about you online. they even asked if my first name was "garden cottage", which is actually the name of my home, not a name! lol. marking this as risky since it seems like they’re gearing up for a scam or something dodgy.

They rang and wanted my wife, but when I said she weren't in, they just put the phone down. That’s no way for a proper company to behave. When will someone actually take real action to end these never-ending cold calls?
7 years
Not sure what the deal was, but the moment I picked up, the call just ended - no message or anything. Honestly, feels like just another annoying nuisance call to waste time. Some might say it’s harmless, but I find it really frustrating. They should seriously find a proper job instead of bothering folks like this. This is the fifth one today!
