I recently received a missed call but chose not to return it.

I had the same experience. The phone rang once and then they didn’t bother to leave a message.

I've had the same experience-a missed call with no message. They rang me at 16:03 on the 18th of September, 2013. Quite odd, isn’t it?

This afternoon at precisely 10:03, we received a call from this number on the 19th of September, 2013. We chose not to pick up, as we generally avoid answering unidentified callers. It's quite perplexing as we have no idea who's behind this number.

11 years

We didn’t get back to them, but upon investigation, it turned out they were associated with a marketing agency.

We’re experiencing the same thing here.

We absolutely refuse to respond to any numbers that are unfamiliar to us.

Yet another number earmarked for my blocked contacts list! 😂

This number called our mobile earlier today. How on earth did they get our number? We're absolutely sick and tired of these sorts of calls.

It seems that there's an uncanny connection to this conversation.

Could anyone clarify who this might be?

Be wary of identity thieves! It’s crucial to keep your personal information close to your chest. Avoid sharing any details about yourself with strangers.

We received an unsolicited call on our mobile from this number: it was a recorded message about clearing debts. Absolutely infuriating!

13 years

Got a call at 11:00 on the 26th of September, 2013. I’m quite choosy about who gets my number; it’s strictly reserved for friends and family only. I also steer clear of installing any apps or software on my phone, so it’s a bit of a mystery how they got hold of my details. It seems to me they’re probably just casting a wide net with those numbers. Naturally, I didn’t pick up - who would? If you’re not on my list, you’re out of luck, mate! ;D

I've received calls from this number both yesterday and today around the same hour. Frankly, I'm not keen on receiving another call at the same time tomorrow. It's rather bothersome, and I'd like these unwanted calls to cease immediately.

I keep receiving unwanted calls from a scam operation, featuring pre-recorded messages about claims for payment protection insurance. It’s getting rather tiresome!

Received a call from this number at 11:10 this morning. I chose not to pick up, and I have no intention of getting back to them.

"Just received one of those infuriating automated calls about owing £10,000 or so... what a pain!"

I rang the number again, and the moment I caught the mention of Africa, I immediately disconnected. I can’t help but worry if I’ve been slapped with a ridiculous fee for that call!

I’ve just had a ring from this number but chose to let it go to voicemail. Cheers for sharing the details!

I received a call from this number earlier today. I let it ring for about two seconds before I decided to ignore it and hung up. I've since added it to my junk callers list on my Samsung device. What struck me as odd was that during the incoming call, the Tango app popped up over my regular phone interface. For those who are users of Tango or WhatsApp, it's worth noting that they take all your contacts' numbers and store them on their servers-make sure you actually read their terms and conditions instead of mindlessly clicking through! This got me thinking; perhaps these numbers are being sold off to auto-dialing firms, which might explain why that other commenter’s mum received a call. Anyway, I’ve uninstalled the Tango app due to my lack of trust, even though it might not have anything to do with this incident.

Today, I got a call from this number, but alas, they hung up just as I was about to pick up. I do enjoy playing games with these nitwits, particularly when it’s those cheeky scouse ladies who are acquainted with my name. After perusing this collection, I find myself torn over who’s more bothersome-the initial caller or the daft suburbanites leaving their thoughts here. Cheerio!

13 years

I just had a call from this number at around 4:15 PM on the 19th of September. I chose not to pick up, and they've left a voicemail. However, since it's an old phone I hardly touch these days and I've got no credit on it, I won’t be pursuing this further, particularly after reading the numerous warnings about this number.

13 years

I’ve just noticed that these callers rang me at 12:58 today-completely uninvited. Honestly, it’s astonishing how we allow these leeches to thrive. If only hard labour were still in practice! Nowadays, it seems we hardly ever hand out custodial sentences (it’s too expensive, you see), and when we do, many inmates seem to live more comfortably than those on the outside trying to make a decent life. It’s crystal clear now-there’s zero oversight for these individuals and absolutely no repercussions for their actions. What’s their incentive to cease their dubious activities? It’s baffling why they wouldn’t continue attempting to swindle the unsuspecting out of their hard-earned cash!

I recently received a phone call from this number, but thanks to the insights from earlier comments, I decided to hang up before it could go any further.

I've just received a rather dodgy call from this number, featuring an automated message about supposedly claiming thousands of pounds. I ended the call rather hastily! It's peculiar, as I had just entered my details on the EE website regarding broadband-could there be a link there, perhaps? I decided to ring the number back, only to be greeted by a foreign voice welcoming me to something about "Africa calling..." before I promptly hung up! Quite the unsettling experience, to say the least!

I just spotted an unreturned call from this number :S Fingers crossed it wasn't urgent or anything significant!

I’ve been inundated with calls from this number - they never utter a word and just hang up, yet the relentless ringing continues on both my landline and mobile! It’s absolutely infuriating, and I must find a way to put an end to this nonsense. It’s as if they’ve completely lost the plot! These annoying callers are like a persistent nuisance that just won’t quit. I’m determined to track down their address, and I might even take a few mates along to confront them. Enough is enough!

Received a call around 5 PM today. There was a robotic voice on the line claiming I could erase my debts (which is quite odd since I don’t have any!). It then prompted me to press 5 to connect with someone. I didn't stick around to find out more and hung up swiftly.

13 years

I can't help but ponder whether the folks behind this number ever take the time to glance at our remarks on this site. If by chance they do, here's my two pence for them: kindly take your leave, and do so with an amusingly hasty and awkward stride!

Received a couple of calls from this number - once yesterday at 16:46 and then again today at 15:13. Did my best to ignore both.

I've heard that IOS7 may introduce a feature to block certain numbers, and trust me, this lot will be at the forefront of my block list!

I received a recorded call touting a miraculous 70% reduction in debts. The issue is, I don’t have any debts to speak of! Just feeling quite irate about these unsolicited calls, to be honest.

I just got a call from this number and picked up, but it seems like nobody was on the other end. Quite puzzling!

I received a call from this number around 1pm today. I tend to steer clear of answering calls from unfamiliar numbers, so I let it ring out. Cheers for providing the details!

I received a call at 15:10 today, but opted not to pick up. I've recently signed up with Boots online, so I'm wondering if they've somehow got hold of my number from that. I rarely get unsolicited calls. I'm on O2, by the way. Interestingly, they also tried to reach my mum yesterday.

I just got a call, but I chose not to pick up. I hopped onto this site as per my usual routine, and as always, I'm pleased I did so. Curiously, this call came right after I registered with MusicMagpie.com. Not certain if there’s any connection there, though.

I’ve just received a call from telemarketers, and it seems rather suspiciously timed! Just a mere few hours after I shared my number with British Gas for a service booking. Cheers for that, BG! Remarkable how quickly they pass on your details, isn’t it?

I picked up this call only to be greeted by a robotic voice. It urged me to pay close attention, mentioning something about new rules that could hinder my ability to recover PPE costs. At that point, I decided to hang up and have now marked this number as ‘do not answer.’

Having read through the comments, I’m rather relieved I didn’t pick up the phone. It's left me pondering what on earth I might have accidentally subscribed to that results in these kinds of calls! 🤔

I received a missed call notification at 13:22 from this number today. Curious, I decided to look it up on Google and stumbled upon this site, which turned out to be a fantastic find! I was contemplating calling back, thinking it might be related to a delivery I’m waiting for. A huge thank you to all who’ve shared their experiences!

Received a call on my mobile earlier today. It was some automated message regarding PPI claims, stating that due to recent changes in legislation, I should pay close attention and hit 5 to connect with one of their representatives. Total rubbish! I’m fairly certain my number is on the TPS list, but I took the liberty of registering it again just to be on the safe side.

I’ve just received a text from Orange notifying me that I had a “missed call” from a particular number at 13:47 on the 18th of September, yet they didn’t leave a voicemail. The peculiar thing is, I was right by the phone, and it didn’t even ring! I really appreciate everyone sharing their experiences with this number. It's nice to learn that I shouldn’t be concerned about it. Cheers for the reassurance!

Just had a similar experience a short while ago - about 23 minutes back, to be precise. I let it ring out without picking up, and they didn't bother leaving a message. It mustn't have been anything significant, eh?
