They didn’t sound like they were from overseas at all. Just used the same old tricks as those bloody washing machine scammers.

So annoying, they just won’t stop ringing me. It’s some Asian bloke using a UK number, but I reckon he’s actually overseas and just got hold of a UK number for a short while. Surely OFCOM could do something about this? It’s going to go on as long as foreign folks can grab UK numbers temporarily. They’re probably just after info or trying to push some dodgy stuff. They called me on the 25th Jan at 11:56am, then again on 24th Jan around 2:13pm, plus a few other times I didn’t catch.

I’ve had a pretty similar run-in as lots of others with calls coming from this number. Also noticed they sometimes ring from 01603752710 instead. Just a heads up for everyone!

I've been getting calls non-stop from this group, who sound Indian and claim they're from some organisation called UK Benefits. They've been ringing me every day for weeks, often twice a day, using loads of different UK numbers. They somehow know my name and my address, and they keep trying to get me to do a lifestyle survey. I keep telling them no, but they just won’t take it and hang up on me. They always call back either later that same day or the day after. It's really annoying.

This bloke had a thick Indian accent and wouldn’t stop bothering me. So I told him, while you’re bothering me, someone else might be doing stuff with your missus. He didn’t know what to say after that! Cheers, bye [###].

They rang once more today, asking for Mrs Z but she wasnt about. They said they’d ring back later. What a pain! The last person who called from this number got shouted at and sweard at, and even his family got shouted at too. I’m shocked this number has bothered us again!

Just as I reached the phone, they hung up. Was in the middle of cooking something important. These constant nuisance calls are really getting on my nerves. The TPS doesn't seem to do any good at all.

Criminals are using this number, and if you pick up, they’re on the other end to harrass, then they even go after your family. We’ve got to put an end to these awful people!

Got a call from a guy with an Indian accent who asked if I was the person who owns the phone. I told him no, it’s actually BT that owns the line! Then he said he was from UK Benefits and wanted to ask me some questions about my lifestyle. I told him I wasn’t interested and he just hung up.

I got a call from 02830 266642, but when I picked up, there was nothing but silence on the other end, then the call just ended abruptly. Tried dialling 1471 to see who it was, but couldn’t find any option to call them back. Pretty strange.

I really don't get how these firms seem to have access to such a huge variety of numbers, only for a few days each time. There must be someone handing these numbers out, and you'd think they’d be aware that many of them end up used by annoying cold callers and outright scammers. If I was interested in sharing my lifestyle views, I’d be the one to reach out, right? But since I never did, that clearly shows I’m not keen on chatting with you lot.

These scam calls are such a pain. You block one number and then a few weeks later they’re back calling from a completely different one. Best thing to do is just ignore and keep blocking every new number that pops up.

Got a call from 02830266642 earlier today around 3.18pm. I just said hello since we get loads of silent calls these days. There was no reply, but I could hear some muffled voices in the background, not really speaking to me though. Honestly, it’s probably better not to chat with them and just wait for them to end the call.

I’ve been putting these numbers on the TPS and OFCOM lists but honestly, it feels like it does nothing. Just had another one beginning with 028 pop up - that’s the eighth one I’m blocking on Trucall this week alone. Really annoying.

Some bloke rang me, claiming to be from UK Benefits or summink. He said the chat wouldn’t take long, so I joked it’d be even shorter and hung up straight away. Next thing, he’s on the line again, shouting all sorts of rubbish at me. Proper lowlife, that one.

I tried ringing the number back right after, but they said it’s not a real number! That’s weird coz it called me first, so obviously it’s there. I just kept calling them, giving them a piece of my mind. Bloody foreigners, always causing trouble like this.

Got another one of those annoying spam calls today. My husband picked up and kept being awkward with the person on the line, basically saying they already had his info so why bother repeating questions? He made them pretty annoyed. After a bit, when he mentioned we were ex-directory and signed up with the TPS, they finally hung up. Totally fed up with these calls!

Had another one of those annoying calls from some random person claiming all sorts. He first asked for someone who supposedly lives here, then suddenly switched to using my name. Wouldn’t tell me who he was or what company he was with though. Well, thats a bit different from the usual Benefits UK lot!

Another scam here I think. They keep ringing but no message left when I don't answer. Mostly come from numbers starting with 0208 0203 or 014, 015, 016, and 017 - all just annoying scams, honestly.
