Received a call today from an unknown number. Didn't answer it; quite intriguing! It appears to be a new line, but there's not much information available about it just yet. Curious to see what unfolds!

What a nuisance! This number called me twice today. Seems like yet another annoying spammer on the loose.

I received a rather curious phone call recently, where the person on the other end claimed they could assist me with my debts. What’s their plan? Are they just going to settle all my bills for me? Quite the cheeky proposition, if you ask me! 😂

I suggest you simply press 5 and request that they send you their promotional material. When they ring you back, pretend you haven’t seen it and ask for another copy. Keep this up until they become a bit irked; it might just rattle their bottom line. Who knows, it could compel them to rethink their bothersome marketing tactics!

Date: 30th November 2013. Received a rather tedious automated sales pitch. The caller claimed to represent a company by the name of Social Media Marketing, hailing from South Africa. Absolutely baffled as to how they acquired my number in the first place. Do yourself a favour and steer clear of returning their call; it’s a right waste of time!

I recently reached out to this Bernard fellow on his mobile to request that he cease contacting my home and mobile phones. I might recommend that others consider calling him directly. Here’s the information I’ve got. It appears to be linked to a company named Zest Direct. Address: 99 Warren Ave, Knutsford, WA16 0AL. Directors: - Bernard Bairsto - 07907 784717 - Richard Merritt - 07540 621065 They’ve also been known to use numbers that end in 115 and 132. You’re welcome to give them a ring and challenge these individuals. Company: Zest Direct.

I've received two calls from this number today, despite the fact that I've never taken out a loan or signed up for anything, especially since I’ve only just turned 18. Honestly, these folks need to pull themselves together and stop bothering people with their nonsense. It’s such a waste of time!

I’m not familiar with this number that called my wife's phone. It might have rung before, but we’re in our seventies now, so we've decided to give it a miss and not bother with it.

Greetings, I’m Bernard Bairsto, the Managing Director of Zest Call Centres here in the UK. To clarify, I have never utilised the phone number you’ve mentioned. It appears that this number belongs to a call centre operating out of South Africa, with which I have absolutely no ties.

I’ve already been in touch with the organisation that issued the number, and they’ve expressed their sincere apologies for any confusion caused.

I want to assure you that my company does not engage in unsolicited contacting; we strictly work with opt-in numbers only.

I completely sympathise with your annoyance, but please be assured, THIS IS NOT A CALL FROM MY COMPANY!!!!!

I've just received a call, and what a right bother it is! Truly irritating, to say the least.

Since the authorities seem disinclined to take action, perhaps a firm talking to or some serious measures might be worth considering. I'm well aware of their identities and whereabouts.

I recently had a chat with a gentleman named Bernard on his mobile, urging him to cease all communications with my home and mobile lines. I’d recommend that others also reach out to him directly. Here are the particulars: This pertains to a company operating under the name Zest Direct, located at 99 Warren Avenue, Knutsford, WA16 0AL. The directors are as follows: - Bernard Bairsto can be reached at 07907 784717 - Richard Merritt’s number is 07540 621065 Additionally, they seem to use other numbers that end in 115 and 132. Don't hesitate to give them a ring and give these fraudsters a taste of their own medicine. Owner: Zest Direct.

I've just had one of those automated calls claiming to be from Santander and NatWest, saying something about refunding money to my account. They even prompted me to press 5, but of course, the call just cut off after that. It's abundantly clear this is a scam and a real annoyance for anyone on the receiving end. My number’s private; only my family has it, so it's baffling how these scammers are getting hold of it. This is a serious matter that needs addressing! Take my advice: steer clear of ringing this number back.

I've been receiving calls from this number on my home phone and now they're also ringing my mobile. It's always the same automated message about PPI claims. When I called back, I found out it’s from a company named Social Media Marketing based in South Africa. They’re apparently also referred to as Zest from Knutsford. They claim to have a clean TPS list and advise pressing 9 to opt out of any further calls, but that hasn’t done a thing. I’m seriously contemplating giving them a ring myself!

Receiving calls two or three times daily from this number! I've chosen not to respond after seeing the warnings on this site. It’s high time these bothersome calls were put to an end. I never share my number, so I’m baffled as to how they even obtained it in the first place.

It seems that this number belongs to a company based in South Africa - I decided to ring them back because I was awaiting a call regarding a few bits I'd ordered online. Turns out it might be about some debt nonsense or something equally trivial. Honestly, don’t bother wasting your phone credit on it!

I find myself inundated with calls from this number, and it's nothing but a pre-recorded message every single time. Even when I hit 9 to opt out of their list, it does absolutely nothing!

I've tracked down a company named Zest Direct, located at 99 Warren Avenue, Knutsford, WA16 0AL. The directors are Bernard Bairsto (mobile: 07907 784717) and Richard Merritt (mobile: 07540 621065). They also seem to operate with a couple of other phone numbers ending in 115 and 132. If you're inclined, don't hesitate to give them a ring and voice your concerns about their questionable practices.

Despite being on the Telephone Preference Service list and never sharing my phone number (it’s primarily for online use), I've been bombarded with telemarketing calls. I received a call from a number that claimed to be associated with 'bad debt assistance', but a search through Companies House yielded no results for that name-could be a trading name, I suppose. When I inquired how they got my number, given my TPS registration, they assured me they wouldn't ring again. However, when I pressed further for an explanation, they abruptly ended the call. Quite frustrating!
