Received a call from an 084 number which I didn't answer. Seems highly likely it's some sort of scam. Best to avoid!

Consistent phone calls without anyone on the other end.

I've just noticed a missed call from that number as well.

I've recently acquired a fresh mobile for work purposes, and I’m absolutely baffled as to how these pesky telemarketers have managed to get their mitts on my number. I can't help but wonder if O2 might have flogged my details? I seem to be inundated with calls nearly every day, but thankfully, I've managed to block them. Unfortunately, my landline doesn't have a blocking feature, though I'm toying with the idea of shelling out some extra dosh for that, given the uptick in unwanted calls. I've resorted to letting my voicemail pick up on all landline calls to spare myself the frustration; it’s becoming too much to bear!

Annoying spammer-let it ring out, no need to pick up!

I keep receiving calls that I simply ignore every time.

I’ve been getting calls from this number repeatedly, and, much like everyone else, it’s really starting to grind my gears. I can’t help but wonder why there aren’t tougher regulations put in place by the government to tackle this issue... It’s beyond frustrating!

Annoying sales calls... best to block the number if possible!

I’d really appreciate it if anyone could shed some light on this persistent caller that keeps ringing me. Also, if anyone has tips on how to put an end to these calls, that would be quite helpful. Thank you!

Those blighters keep ringing me relentlessly!

It appears that Mr Simon Lewis Gilbert is actively acquiring mobile numbers in bulk for the notorious practice of automated cold calling, particularly targeting debt refinancing and claims for Payment Protection Insurance (PPI). Interestingly, while claims related to debt and PPI are purported to be free of charge, it seems his business operates on a commission basis, earning revenue from successful claims against some of the major banks and building societies in the UK. Notably, Mr Gilbert, born on 11th July 1975, has been a significant player in the business world, having founded and directed nine companies over the past four years. His most recent venture is known as AFFILIATE FINANCE LTD, but his portfolio also includes: 1. CHILLICOW LIMITED 2. CJMS GLOBAL LIMITED 3. GNV FINANCE LTD 4. MSM CREDIT LIMITED 5. THE SIMIC PARTNERSHIP LIMITED 6. SOMERHALDER CONSULTING LTD 7. LIQUID LOANS LIMITED 8. AFFILIATE FINANCE LTD 9. CANNON FINANCE LIMITED His registered business premises can be located at: Athene House, 86 The Broadway, Mill Hill, London, NW7 3TD, United Kingdom. As for his personal residence, Mr Gilbert resides at: 5 Hazel Mead, Arkley, Barnet, Hertfordshire, EN5 3LP, United Kingdom.

Please, I’d be really grateful if you could put an end to these incessant calls I keep receiving.

I've been receiving persistent calls on my mobile from this number. I can't send a text or return the call either, which is quite frustrating. I really do wish BT or whoever it is could sort this out, because it's such a blooming annoyance!

My daughter keeps getting calls from this number, and every time they just hang up! She's only 11, for goodness' sake-she’s not even eligible for PPI! What a nuisance!

I received a call that went directly to voicemail. It prompted me to press 9. I couldn’t be bothered to engage with it.

Received a call from this number earlier today around half past five. The phone didn't ring long enough for me to pick it up, so I guess I narrowly avoided that one! I tend to ignore calls from numbers starting with 0843, 0844, or 0845 as a rule. Strangely enough, some of these businesses seem to be using legitimate phone numbers now, which makes it a bit tricky, doesn't it?

I’ve got this nifty app named Dead to Me that tends to handle these sorts of enquiries pretty well. I’ll be popping this number into it very soon!

Honestly, why are you all so bothered? You really need to just take a step back and relax a bit.

I've been getting questions about PPI lately.

So, I pick up the phone and enquire if Patrick is around. Of course, the response comes back that no one's called Patrick here. My comeback? I just let out a frustrated sigh and say, "Jog on then!"

Absolute plonkers, just a bunch of time wasters!

It’s absolutely infuriating how these bothersome pests incessantly ring me up - just pure spam, honestly!

I've been inundated with calls from 084383133 and 01414194380, plus a few from a withheld number, all seemingly from the same individual. They purport to be from Vodafone and were relentless in their questioning. After a while, I lost my patience and ended the call. I can’t quite fathom what their aim was-whether it’s a ploy to extract information or merely a roundabout way to amuse themselves by toying with others’ time. My advice? Just steer clear of answering!

I've been getting calls from this number, but as soon as I pick up, it just cuts off. What's going on there?

It's such a bother trying to reach out, yet there's no response when I ring an unfamiliar number. What a nuisance!

I'm absolutely fed up with these incessant calls; it feels like I get hounded by them nearly every single day!

Just wanted to share my experience with a call I received regarding refunds from HSBC and Santander. They instructed me to press 5, and a gentleman picked up the line. He started inquiring whether I was calling about PPI or mortgage claims, which I found a bit odd. Then he requested my surname and, without much ado, wished me a pleasant day before hanging up. Quite the brief interaction, to say the least!

This number rings me daily, and as soon as I pick up, they just terminate the call.

I’ve had quite enough of this number; it needs to be blocked immediately!

I’ve had two calls in the space of just 10 minutes. I decided not to pick up after seeing the reviews on your site.

They're ringing me non-stop! I’ve had up to four calls a day lately. It’s been particularly relentless over the last week and a bit. I picked up the phone just the other day, intending to give them a piece of my mind, but as soon as I answered, they hung up on me! Any advice on how to put a stop to this nonsense? And who on earth could they be?

I’m utterly fed up with them calling incessantly, it feels like it’s almost a daily occurrence!

This number has been relentless, ringing me five times daily! It’s proving to be rather expensive, as I’m forced to manage my business through redirected calls.

I'm not familiar with this number, so I decided to let it ring. I’ll make sure to inform all my colleagues about it as well.

This week, I’ve been inundated with no fewer than five phone calls, and on occasion, I've even received two in a single day. Absolutely appalling.

Receiving calls from this number twice daily. I tend to ignore any digits I don’t recognise.

I received a call from this number, but there was complete silence when I answered-just an empty line, no one saying a word and no voicemail left. Quite peculiar, really.

It calls me a few times before cutting off, or when I do pick up, there's nobody at the other end. Quite baffling, really!

I'm thoroughly fed up with these incessant calls!

I checked this number using Google and decided to remove it after seeing all the negative reviews.

Absolutely sick to death of this number bombarding my mobile! It’s the same blasted recorded spiel regarding HSBC, Santander, and Lloyds, all about some so-called refund. If you fancy a chat, press 5; if you'd prefer to put an end to these incessant calls, hit 9. I've done this time and again, yet they just won’t quit! It’s got to be a scam, without a doubt.

Received a call from a number I don't recognise, and frankly, I'd rather not have it.

I've been getting calls from this number as many as five times a day throughout the last week-it's driving me bonkers!

They profess to represent Media Source Africa.

I recently received a call from this number, and oddly enough, I got another call with a similar number ending in 1000 just moments later. I make it a rule not to respond to calls from unknown numbers, so I’ll steer clear of this one as well. That certainly clears things up for me!

I recently received a missed call from this number. I chose not to return it since it appears to be an 084 number.

Please stop calling me immediately.

I received a missed call from this number and found a voicemail waiting for me. When I called 121 to check the message, all I heard was someone saying "hello." Quite odd, really!

Utterly pointless call, just some absolute nonsense about PPI. I pressed '5' to indicate my disinterest and then promptly hung up. I decided to leave it be, letting the caller end the miserable exchange themselves.

When you chose not to respond, how could those individuals possibly claim to be anyone at all?

We just received a call from these folks. Thank goodness we didn’t pick up!

Does anyone happen to know who the owner of this number is?

Received a call from this number, but I didn't answer it since it's unfamiliar to us!
