Some bloke rang up saying he was from Vortex IT Solutions, telling me the backup software licence was due to expire today. Tried to explain we dont actually use Vortex, but he just wouldnt give up and kept pushing. Pretty annoying how persistent he was.

They tried to ring me a couple of times, once about five days ago and again yesterday, but I didn’t pick up either time. Haven’t bothered to return the calls.

I recently delved into the technical support line for Microsoft, and I must say, the experience was rather illuminating. They also rolled out some satisfaction surveys that caught my eye. It's fascinating how they gauge user contentment - I found it quite informative. Overall, an interesting glimpse into their customer feedback approach!

This particular number has been calling our office and personal mobiles on a weekly basis here in Amsterdam. Strangely enough, not once has anyone taken the time to leave a voicemail. Quite suspicious, if you ask me.

It appears to be a legitimate operation - a separate company handling customer support for Jawbone. I'm currently dealing with a dodgy product that's under warranty and waiting for a replacement.

We've received a string of calls from this number earlier today, continuing right until 8 in the evening. We're awaiting a call from Expedia, so it’s quite likely that it could be them ringing. However, whether we answered on the first attempt or the fifth, all we ever got was a persistent dial tone. It’s rather strange how these callers seem to have a knack for hanging up just as we’re about to answer, isn't it?

Indeed, that’s the phone number associated with GEM (Global Email Company) based in Belfast. It appears these individuals have managed to evade the anonymous call blocking feature. They seem to be handling the contract with Expedia as well.

Received a call from this number claiming to be British Gas, stating that my boiler had been serviced recently (which it has). They went on to say that the engineer flagged it as being aged and not particularly efficient, and they wanted to set up a time to provide a quote for a replacement. It's clear that British Gas has handed over my information! I'm absolutely fuming about this.
