Got a call from someone claiming to be with Dunn and Bradstreet asking about some land they said used to belong to Highways at my place. I told them the land was never owned by Highways; it was farm land before they built on it back in 1965.

08000856829 called me today (I'm based in Bristol, just for reference). I ignored it as I’ve stopped answering any calls now until I get a phone with an answer machine that actually shows who’s calling. I’m fed up with all these scammers. It’s mad that in this day and age, no one seems able to catch or punish these people. We’re left having to sort our own protection because, honestly, it feels like the authorities just won’t lift a finger to help.

This number called me today (I’m based in Bristol, so pop that on your list). But I didn’t pick up since I’ve decided not to answer any calls until I get a phone with an answer machine that shows who’s calling. I’m absolutely fed up with these scammers. It’s mad that in this day and age no one seems able to catch and punish these horrible people. Feels like we’re left to sort it out ourselves because no official body is going to step in and help.

The woman began by mentioning my business name and address, then asked if she was speaking to the correct person. After about 5 seconds, I confirmed all the details. I then asked who they were and why they needed my info. She claimed to be from the 118 group, doing a business directory for Dun and Bradstreet. The call felt odd and not very clear. They didn’t have a website or an email address. When I asked for info to be sent by email, she still managed to get what she wanted - my business name, address, and a connected phone number. Watch out for these types of calls.

Someone rang saying they were from a firm named 118 and wanted to check info about our village hall for a company called Dylan Bradshaw, which apparently does credit brokering. I wasted about 5 pointless minutes trying to figure out who they really were and why Dylan Bradshaw couldn’t just do their own checking. There’s absolutely no need for anyone, especially credit brokers, to have details about our hall. I reckon they must’ve grabbed it from the charities commission site. I refused to give them any info and have since blocked their number.

I picked up the phone, but there was something off about both the number and how the lady was speaking. I looked up the number online and loads of people were warning it was a scam for collecting personal info, so I just ended the call straight away.

They claimed to be from Dunn & Bradstreet, saying they were just updating info. Said they couldn’t send anything in writing. The woman was super pushy and quite rude. I gave them our address but got weirded out and ended the call when they wanted more details.

The lady on the phone didn’t have the clearest voice and claimed she was ringing from 118 group to update my info. I told her if they wanted anything from me, it had to be in writing, that’s the only way I’d share my details. She kept insisting they never send anything by post asking for info and wouldn’t back down. She was really persistent. So I ended the call and shut the number out for good.

These dodgy callers have been annoying us daily for ages now. The one time we picked up, it was some automated message asking for a person we don't even know to call back. We put the number on block, but they keep calling constantly.

I've had calls from this number a couple of times lately. They rang again last night, and as I'm quite old, I really don't appreciate late night calls. The phone only rings briefly then stops before I get a chance to pick up!

This number calls at the exact same time daily, I never pick up as I don’t know who it is. After seeing what others have said, it’s really useful to avoid answering. I’m usually on a call when it rings and it would cost me if I took the call.

Dun & Bradstreet are a proper company, I've recently had to sign up with them so I could update my details for the Ministry of Justice payments team, since I'm a non-government contractor. Seems like whoever's behind these calls might be fishing info using D&B's name, so don't hand over anything! If you already deal with D&B, they should have your current info on file anyway.

Right away, this guy just jumps in asking if this is ‘at’. I asked him where he was ringing from and he goes, it’s 118 for Dunne & Bradstreet, trying to update their records or something. I told him I wasn’t bothered. Seems like a classic case of data fishing or some way to gather info to flog to other firms. Totally feels like a scam.

The woman launched straight into her inquiry, wanting to confirm whether this was indeed <Business Name> located at <Address>. When I probed about her origin, she mentioned being with 118, representing Dunne & Bradstreet, supposedly to ensure that their records were current. I informed her that we had no interest in participating. It felt unmistakably like a data-gathering mission, likely aimed at peddling our information to third parties.

Right from the get-go, the woman asked if she was speaking to me, no hello or anything. When I asked who was calling, she said it was 118, doing some sort of update for Dunne & Bradstreet. I told her I wasn’t interested at all. Feels like just another scheme to collect info and probably pass it on to other businesses.
