This number keeps ringing and then cutting off. Quite frustrating, really!

Got two calls earlier today from a random number, and when I tried to call back, no one picked up. Feels like it could be the same scam group messing about.

Received a call from an Indian chap who had quite a thick accent, asking for just half a minute of my time. He didn't specify his location, so I decided to end the call. The background noise was clearly a bustling call centre, making it all the more off-putting.

The call was nearly impossible to understand because of all the background noise and a really poor connection. When I told him I couldn’t really catch what he was saying, he just ended the call. After reading some of these reviews, I’ve decided to block the number.

I usually don't pick up calls from unknown or out-of-area numbers, so I just ignored this one. I've gone and blocked it now. Cheers for the heads up!

This number has rung me quite a few times over the past week but they never bother to leave any voicemail. I’ve ended up blocking it now because it’s just getting annoying. Feels like a total scam to me.

They've rung me up 3 times today. I told the person I’m not discussing anything on the phone and asked them to take my number off their list, but they just kept ringing. I didn’t pick up after that.

Got a call from this number pretending to be the UK Benefits Dept, but it was coming from India. It was the third time they've called me from this same spoofed number. They hung up on me after just 36 seconds. Definitely a scam.

I got a call from this spoofed number again, the second time now. It was from some 'Simple Lifestyle' in India, but she hung up after just about 40 seconds. They've used different fake numbers before, definitely feels like a scam to me.

I had a call from this number earlier today. When I picked up, there was silence on the other end. The caller mentioned they needed just thirty seconds of my attention and prompted me to say “ok.” I responded with “go on, then” but before I knew it, the line went dead. It’s as if she was fishing for a specific response from me.

So this bloke calls saying he's from UK Data, just wanna ask a few quick questions. I asked him what kind of data he meant and what they use it for, then he just suddenly ended the call. Definitely feels like a scam to me!!!

For the last week, my grandma has been getting calls from the same number on her home phone, like two times every day. It's some bloke who talks to her but refuses to say where he's calling from, only saying he "wants to ask a few questions." My grandma makes it clear she doesn't want to answer and asks him to stop calling, but he just carries on. She got another call earlier today, so I'm gonna block the number for her now.

Got two calls from this number today, didn’t pick up since I don’t usually answer unknown numbers. They didn’t leave any voicemail either, so I’m guessing it’s not important. I’ve gone ahead and blocked them now, fingers crossed they don’t call again.

When I asked if it was a sales call, they began by insisting they weren’t selling anything. Then, all of a sudden, they started asking for personal details like my age bracket. As soon as I told them I wasn’t sharing any personal info, they just disconnected. Quite dodgy if you ask me.

I've had this number ring me up like three times within just one hour. Every time, it barely had a chance to ring before they cut off. It's so irritating, feels like harassment. Seriously, how come these firms are given the green light to keep doing this?

So frustrating! They keep ringing me, sometimes up to four times every week, but never bother to leave a message. Really annoying!

Got calls from 0288 6788442, total hassle, but no one answered when I picked up. Then, around the same time, 0131 5614532 rang me too, just like the first one. Both numbers feel really dodgy.

What an absolute waste of time that phone call turned out to be! The person on the other end was incessantly pressing me for details from my gas and electric statements. To make matters worse, the call seemed to be originating from one of those raucous call centres, making it nearly impossible to concentrate.

Just got called by some place claiming to stop cold calls but all they wanted was to ask me a bunch of questions about my gas and electric. Felt like a complete time waster from a call centre - total rubbish if you ask me!
