Whenever I spot this number calling, I just let it ring out but they always hang up without leaving any message on my voicemail. It's been happening twice daily for about a week now, really annoying!

XLN keep ringing me constantly even after I told them I’m cancelling. They keep fibbing about an early termination fee when my contract is already finished. They call like 4 or 5 times a day just to try and stop you leaving. Just ignore them! Would never recommend this company! I get marketing calls from them at least twice a week, honestly the worst!

I told him he was tied up working right now, and he said he’d asked me to ring him today. I asked when exactly, and he said last week on this very number. I told him I always pick up this number, so that can't be true. Then he changed to say he had called the mobile last week. I pointed out he’d already have the mobile number if that was the case. He just grunted and hung up. Total scammers, honestly.

Got a call from some Indian scammer. When I asked what they wanted, they started trying to get my personal info. Honestly, it’s heartbreaking how these scammers from Asia are messing with so many innocent folks, especially the older generation.

This is one of those Microsoft scams where they tell you your computer has a virus and try to get remote access. The best way to handle it is to say, "Hold on a sec, I’ll just grab my computer," then make yourself a cuppa. When you get back, say, "Sorry for the wait, was checking if there’s anything good on telly." Then finally add, "Actually, I just remembered, I don’t have a computer at all." I kept these tricksters dangling on the line for half an hour just wasting their time. If they wanna try and scam me, I’ll just soak up their minutes and rack up their phone bill.

A man with an Indian accent claimed he worked for Windows and insisted my computer was hacked whenever I went online, checked emails, or used social media. I asked him to remove me from their call list and he asked me why. I said my computer is fine, and he demanded I prove it, starting to sound annoyed. He accused me of being rude for asking him not to call and insisted there really was a problem with my computer that he could prove. I repeated that he should just take me off the list. He began shouting, so I ended the call and blocked the number.

I reckon these callers ought to give me a bell twice daily. I've signed up with the Telephone Preference Service as well. Earlier today, I followed up on a request and mentioned the company's name. To my surprise, I was met with a rather thick foreign accent, who said, "I can talk to the owner." When I retorted, "In relation to this matter," the caller just hung up. Quite odd, if you ask me!

Got a call from an Asian woman with really broken English claiming she worked at Microsoft. She started telling me hackers were messing with my computer right then. I asked her which one, cause I have loads (definitely not true), and she went on about all of them. I asked if she was being serious and if this actually ever works on people. She answered super serious, ‘I am having working for Microsoft’. When I said back, 'Odd, I work for Microsoft as well', there was a long silence before she just hung up. Love it!

On 3/6/2016 at about 4.24pm, I got a call from a gent with an Asian accent claiming to be from XLN. He wanted to speak to the business owner and was offering a line rental for £9 a month. I asked him why he was ringing a private number and told him I wasn’t interested, also asked him to take our number off their list. He was quite polite, which is unusual for these calls, said goodbye and ended the call. Lets see what comes next now.

Once more, I find myself on the receiving end of a call from a chap with a distinctly foreign accent, eager to speak with the proprietor of our establishment. Instantly, my defences go up. It’s clear that we’re about to be subjected to a sales pitch! If you listen closely, you can discern the sounds of conversation in the background-obviously, this individual is engaged in a chat from some far-off land, possibly India. I must echo the sentiments expressed in previous reviews, particularly those of Ian Smith from ages ago. Honestly, why not find a job that doesn’t involve pestering people and squandering their invaluable business time? A cuppa sounds quite necessary right about now!

These callers seem to have made it their mission to ring me twice a day, despite the fact that I'm already on the TPS list. Earlier today, we picked up the phone and mentioned the name of our business. The response was from a voice that sounded quite foreign, asking, "Could we speak to the owner?" My other half then shot back with, "In what regard?" And just like that, they hung up! It’s beyond frustrating!

It's rather baffling why these callers can't leave a message on the answering machine, isn't it? That's precisely why one invests in such devices! Upon dialling this number, you're met with an automated message that boasts about their expertise in telecommunications but fails to address the inconvenience caused. It seems they don't bother to engage with the technology they themselves tout. One might infer that this isn't the most reputable company to interact with. Such a shame really!

I recently received a call from what seemed to be a company trying to track down a business owner. In a moment of sheer folly, we mentioned that we were the ones they were seeking! There were two different people on the line, and truth be told, I'm rather dreadful at ending calls abruptly! After a lengthy, rather convoluted sales pitch, which I couldn’t quite decipher, they rattled off something about a £9.99 weekly line rental and calls at half a penny a minute. Then, out of the blue, they declared, “Oh, it appears you're not actually a BT customer,” and promptly ended the call! Can you believe it?

I just received a call from this number and didn’t bother to answer it. So, I did a 1471 check and found that the caller had their number withheld. As a result, we decided to block them from contacting us again. I'm using BT's 'Choose to Refuse' service, which is rather handy. All we have to do is enter a code on the phone, and a pleasant voice tells us the last number that called-even when they try to keep it hidden. After that, we just hit the star key twice, and it informs us that calls from this number are now blocked. So, that should put an end to their antics!
