5 yearsEvery time I pick up, this number just rings off without saying anything.5 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming there were "government supported home heating grants" available, but I wasn’t buying it so I just ended up hanging up.5 yearsI keep receiving calls from this individual!5 yearsi got a call from some bloke about a heating grant, but when i said my place is only three years old, he just hung up on me! proper rude if you ask me.5 yearsSo now it seems they've switched from the insurance scam to a government grant trick. This bloke was going on about how the government will give you a brand new heating system at no cost if yours is over six years old. Honestly, when I asked him how that's possible during a pandemic, he told me to stop wasting his time. You couldn’t make this stuff up!5 yearsI got a call from some bloke offering a heating grant. I said I’d report his company for harassment since a Glasgow firm got slapped with a £15k fine for cold calls recently. He just laughed and said cold calling’s perfectly legal and dared me to do it.5 yearsbet he’s still hearing that whistle echoin’ in his head!5 yearsThose annoying spammers just wont quit, total pain in the neck!5 yearsI dunno, but I’m always wary of these calls and usually just look them up online first. Turns out, just as I thought, it’s probably some sort of scam - so I went ahead and blocked the number.5 yearsGot a call, picked up and the line just cut out, so I’ve blocked the number now.5 yearsGave them a bell, but as soon as I picked up, they cut the line straight away.5 yearsGot a call from some UK life insurance outfit or something like that. Told them I'd already asked to have my details taken off their list, and they said that was fine, they'd sort it out. But looking back at the texts, seems like they’re using all sorts of tactics to try and dig info out of you. If they were really legit, why bother with that? Been getting loads of calls from these lot, but always different numbers. I've marked it as harassment now.UK5 yearsI haven't a clue about who's been ringing me, and I’ve just enrolled in a complimentary call-blocking service that's supposed to put a stop to these pesky interruptions. Unfortunately, it seems to be taking its sweet time getting into gear. On the bright side, I've managed to mute my ringtone, and with no signal available, there’s little chance of me responding even if I fancied it. Cheers to that!5 yearsI got a call from 02896001542, saying they were doing some kind of market research. They started asking loads of personal stuff, way too much for my liking. Honestly, I'd steer clear of this number if I were you.6 yearsI saw the missed call but wasn’t sure who it was, so I looked it up here first. After seeing the reviews, I decided to block the number.6 yearsI recently inquired about replacing our boiler and getting some insulation done in the house. Oddly enough, the caller addressed me using my wife's maiden name, which left me feeling quite curious about how they managed to get hold of my number in the first place!6 yearsI picked up and they ended the call straight away.6 yearsSo, today I got a call from some "government-supported debt scheme" or something like that, but the details they gave were all wrong. Then I got another call later on from a totally different number, which turned out to be a scam. They said they were with the government, but it was actually the "credit investigation bureau," which the cops round here have already warned everyone about as a fraud.Submit Your Own Report (028 9600 1542)
