This number keeps ringing me with some scam stuff - I’m honestly fed up with it by now.

I keep getting calls from 0247668xxxx, just with different last four digits each time. They’re always annoying and I never pick up because I don’t want to let them know my number is active. Tried registering with TPS but it seems like it doesn’t help much. Virgin apparently can’t block these calls either, which is frustrating.

I got a call from this number today but when I picked up, there was just silence on the other end!

My 86 year old mum keeps getting calls from numbers starting with 024 7668, nearly every day, and on some days twice! It really worries her and she got so stressed out one time she actually contacted the police. Thankfully, they were really understanding and helped calm her down.

Picked up the phone expecting my son to be on the line, but instead, this lady with an Asian accent asked if Mrs Hughes was there. I just told her she didn't live at my address to try and cut the call short.

I reckon they were selling hearing aids or something, cos when I picked up, I couldn’t hear a thing.

Got a weird call that sounded totally robotic. Probably some sort of scam, I'd reckon.

This number has rung loads over the past few weeks, but I always just let it go to voicemail. I figure if it was really urgent, they’d leave a message. Oddly enough, the calls always cut off just before it hits seven rings.

For weeks now, this number keeps calling me and loads of others as well. It’s so frustrating that the authorities aren’t stepping in to shut it down. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s some kind of government scam.

I’ve got family in the 02476 code, so this really concerns me. I’m pretty sure cold calling like this is against the law. I don’t put up with it anymore. Honestly, it’s high time these nuisance callers were dealt with. They should just find a proper job.

I’ve tried ringing this number several times but they just hang up pretty quickly and never bother to leave any message.

Got calls from a number that just hangs up as soon as I pick up. I've signed up with the TPS but they don’t seem to do anything about these silent rings. Bit frustrating really.

Got a call about my phone bill and they asked if I’m the one who pays it. I told them I’m paying about £xx right now, then he said he could give me a deal that’s about £4 cheaper. I ended the call pretty quick by hanging up. I've been on the TPS list for over 5 years, so it’s really annoying to still get these cold calls!

I've been plagued by this number incessantly ringing us repeatedly. I've recently come home from the hospital after undergoing significant surgery to treat septicemia, not to mention my husband has just received a diagnosis of dementia. Is there a way to bring these individuals to justice? It would be fantastic to put a stop to their phone antics altogether. It's quite baffling that the authorities seem to remain inactive regarding these absolutely appalling individuals.

Got a call at 12:05 but no one spoke when I picked up. When I answered, it seemed like they confirmed I was there. I looked up the number and it turns out it’s an active line used to keep hassling people - it’s proper annoying.

Loads of con artists trying to scam me again! I steer clear of any company that cold calls me. If they keep ringing and refuse to remove me from their list, I start setting up meetings for them to come round, then tell them I'm not interested. For some reason, they get quite miffed about it.

Got another suspicious call today. Told them to ring me back in a bit ’cause I’m busy breaking into someone’s house right now.

They've been ringing me a lot, but today was different - the bloke actually said something this time, telling me my line rental could go down if I just did what he said. Definitely another con artist.

No answer on my end, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number.

They called but didn’t say a single word. Just silence on the other end. Quite odd really.

Honestly, the easiest thing is to actually get a phone that shows you who’s calling. If the number’s not familiar, just don’t pick up. Usually, anyone who really knows you will just ring your mobile or drop you a text instead. Works every time.

Got called by another random number this morning. Honestly, what's the point when we just look up the number on this site if it’s unfamiliar? Makes me wonder if these calls might be linked to this website somehow, like it’s trying to drum up business. But I really can't figure out how that would work!

No sound at all when they ring, just silence on the line. Pretty weird!

Phone rang once and I quickly picked up since I was close by, but all I got was silence.

A guy called up, said his name was Stanley, sounded Asian and maybe in his 20s or 30s. He told my wife he was offering to cut down on our line rental charges. When she asked him for his company and location, he just hung up. We’ve had those recorded messages before about our line rental contract ending, but it all feels like a scam to me. It’s more than just annoying; it could really harm some people.

Got a call from 9:20 this morning, but the second i answered, they hung up on me. Seems like these are one of those scammy cold callers who use a bunch of numbers, just switching up the last couple of digits. Would suggest blocking all calls starting with 024766857 and any last two digits.

Was up a ladder painting when my phone rang, I managed to get down in time to pick up but the call ended straight away. Clearly, I wasn’t quick enough! It’s so frustrating, really makes me mad.

This number has been persistently ringing my home multiple times every day, usually between 8.45am and 9.20pm. Strangely, there’s never anyone on the line when I answer. It’s become quite the bother! I wish I could uncover their identity; I’d certainly bill them for all the interruptions to my day!

Got a call from someone named Walter trying to get me to change over to a different phone provider using the Openreach system. He told me what my line rental cost with my current supplier and then tried to get me to commit to a 2-year contract. Honestly, I was a bit shocked that I just wasn’t keen on making the switch.

Got another annoying cold call today - answered the phone and there was total silence. They’re clearly dialling a gazillion numbers at once and just whoever answers first gets the call. Honestly, it’s about time the government steps in and bans these rubbish cold calls. They’re just a massive pain and harassment. Next time this number rings me, I’m definitely giving ’em a mouthful. Proper fed up with this nonsense.

I've been receiving calls from this number around four times a week, yet no one ever speaks - they just disconnect. It's incredibly frustrating, especially considering my health situation. Battling cancer means I have to muster the energy to walk a short distance to the phone, and these silent calls just add to my stress. Surely, there must be a way to trace this number and take action against them for these annoying, unproductive interruptions.
