11 years

Got quite a few calls from this number. It usually rings twice then just cuts off. Don’t know who it is, so I never bother calling back.

11 years

Just a few rings before they cut off. Pretty sure it was a scam.

11 years

Saw a missed call but never heard it ring. Just blocked it.

11 years

Absolute scumbag con artists, honestly.

11 years

I keep getting calls that ring just once before they hang up, and it's becoming quite bothersome. I certainly don't wish to be bothered by these irritating nuisance calls any longer.

11 years

Called me a single time, so I checked it out and turns out it was just some dodgy bloke having a go, hoping I’d ring him back at his little van. What a waste of time.

11 years

They rang just one time and then put the phone down. Proper dodgy scammers.

11 years

Got a missed call on my phone, but thanks to this site I decided not to ring back.

11 years

Got a call from 08438696699 this morning, but they just hung up like the others. No way I’m ringing back that scammer.

11 years

Got a call from this number but it rang just once and I missed it.

11 years

My phone didnt ring but I noticed a missed call - probably hung up right when I answered. Looks like they’re trying to get me to call back on this expensive number. Blocked straight away.

11 years

Got a call on Saturday arvo, just one ring then it hung up. I’m not bothering to ring back. After seeing what others say, this sounds like one of those scam calls, probably trying to get you on a premium number or something.

11 years

Got a single ring on New Year’s Day! Bet they’re just trying to get me to ring them back and charge me loads.

11 years

They rang me one time then just hung up. Definitely a scam.

11 years

Got a call at 9 in the morning on Boxing Day - total r###s, no doubt. I've already told Ofcom about it but they just keep bothering me.

Ofcom

11 years

They actually rang me on bloody Christmas Day!!! Honestly, this needs to end now!!!!

11 years

Jerk wankers ringing me up on Christmas Eve!

11 years

So irritating and a right hassle, these scammers. I can only imagine how proud their mum must be, trying to trick folks out of their cash like that.

11 years

Only rings one time then just cuts off.

11 years

They called just one time and never got back to me.

11 years

Just a quick flash on my screen, then it disappeared. Didn’t even get to check who it was. Blocked straight away!!

11 years

Got a call from 0843 869 6699 earlier today, they only rang once and then nothing.

11 years

Just got one ring and they cut off.

11 years

Saw a missed call on my phone but it didn’t even ring once, just another number added to my block list, whats the point really.

11 years

only rang once. like others have said, this seems like a trick to get you to ring them back on a pricey number.

11 years

Annoyin call nonstop

11 years

They just called once then dropped the call.

11 years

Just a quick ring and then it hung up.

11 years

Just got one ring then they cut off. Signed up on the TPS, so definitely dodgy calls.

TPS

11 years

Absolute scam. Make sure you report these idiots!!!

11 years

Just keep on blockin em! This kinda stuff shouldnt be allowed!

11 years

Keep ringing then just drop the call - numpties.

11 years

It’s been quite silent recently, I reckon someone else leaked my info or something. They called once and hung up before I could pick up, no doubt it was some kind of scam.

11 years

It’s incredibly frustrating how frequently these calls occur! I’m signed up with the Telephone Preference Service, but it doesn’t seem to help much. Does anyone have tips on how to properly block these nuisance calls?

Telephone Preference Service

11 years

For weeks, I kept getting calls from this old number despite having blocked it at least 25 times. I only switched my phone number last week and guess what? They rang again! It’s really doing my head in. I’ll keep blocking them until someone at Ofcom steps up and makes it illegal to bother everyday folks like this.

Ofcom

11 years

Looks like a total rip-off!

11 years

Just got one ring and then nothing, total time wasters.

11 years

Got a quick ring then dropped. Keep on blocking them as they come. There’s really no sort of fix for these annoying lot!!!

11 years

This number appears to be designed solely to entice you into returning the call, allowing the owner to profit from a high-rate telephone charge, typically hovering around £10.

11 years

Only buzzed my phone once and then just cut off. Definitely not picking up or ringing them back! Number’s blocked now.

11 years

My phone keeps buzzing incessantly from this number, but I’ve chosen not to pick up. I'm absolutely tired of the barrage of calls coming my way from this source.

11 years

I noticed it was a missed call on my phone.

11 years

I've been getting several calls from numbers like these recently... been blocking them as they come but already had two just this morning.

11 years

Noticed a missed call from that number.

11 years

They called and hung up so quick I barely had time to see my phone was ringing. Straight away I figured it was one of them scams trying to get me to ring back.

11 years

I got a missed call from them, it only buzzed briefly then cut off. Pretty sure it's one of those annoying numbers trying to get you to ring back.

11 years

It's high time that this mobile number belonging to someone who wishes to remain "anonymous" gets taken down.

11 years

I've just noticed that I've been charged for allegedly making two calls to this number at the exact same time on the same day, which I can assure you I did not initiate. My phone number is 07890153107. Cheers!

11 years

I rang the number back by mistake and didn't notice for quite some time! So annoying.

11 years

Seriously, why won't Ofcom, the so-called regulator, just shut down these irritating pests? What a joke!

Ofcom

11 years

Called me one time, maybe waiting for a return call or something. I just save these numbers as Dog 1, Dog 2, and so on. At this point, my phone’s got like 23 dogs saved in it. Whenever I get a ring from any of these “dogs”, I just block it out.

11 years

Called me just once and hung up before I even got to pick up - noticed it was an 0843 number and guessed it was dodgy. Checked here to be sure! I've blocked it now and reckon you lot should too.

11 years

It didn’t even properly ring, just a quick buzz and then nothing, left a missed call in my log. Don’t bother calling back, they earn from your calls and it’s free for them since no one picks up. There really ought to be a way to report these numbers and get them banned from calling anyone else. Using an auto dialer for calls like this must be against the law, I reckon.

11 years

Had a missed call from this number so I've just went ahead and blocked it. It's a premium rate one; calling 0843 numbers from landlines usually costs from 7p up to 17p a minute, and from mobiles it's anywhere between 8p and 52p per minute.

11 years

Phone rang just a sec then dropped. Got marked as a missed call. Blocked it. Sorted.

11 years

My phone never even rang, it just showed up as a missed call. Feels like they’re cashing in big time when folks return the call to their premium number.

11 years

I keep getting calls from this 0843 number, but I never pick up. They're quite persistent, to say the least!

11 years

I often get called by this number but it just rings once and then they cut off. Quite annoying really.

11 years

Just noticed a missed call from these p######, but my phone never actually rang even once.

11 years

I received a single ring, and then it disconnected. I decided not to call back.

11 years

Another dodgy call has come in. If you happen to get a ring from this number, just give it a miss and make sure to report it to the Telephone Preference Service. They’ve got the tools to track these scams down and hand out fines. Stay vigilant!

Telephone Preference Service

11 years

always ringing me up.. every single time of the day.

11 years

The call was so short it didn’t even have time to make a ringtone, just showed up as a missed call!

11 years

Phone never even rang and then it showed a missed call - had to block it straight away.

11 years

They called me and hung up almost instantly (probably so I wouldn’t answer). Totally looks like one of those scam missed calls.

11 years

I only just noticed it was a missed call.

11 years

Honestly, I don't get why these sites can show you who's phoning, but the nuisance calls just keep flooding in! It's so frustrating, someone really needs to put an end to this NOW!!! Properly getting on my nerves!

11 years

What a shocking display of racism! It’s rather ironic, isn’t it? You can’t formulate proper English yourself, yet you expect someone, presumably working from an Indian call centre, to communicate in flawless English.

11 years

Saw this number called me but my phone never made a sound. Definitely a scam. Proper annoying.

11 years

They called me just one time but my call blocker stopped it straight away.

11 years

It just rings once then cuts out, looks like they want you to ring them back or something dodgy going on? Probably a scam if you ask me.

11 years

Phone just rang one time, then they hung up without leaving any message.

11 years

Scammer for sure!

11 years

They called one time then just dropped the call.

11 years

My phone buzzed just once before showing a missed call.

11 years

Honestly, I'm on the same page as everyone else here!

11 years

It rang and then cut off before I managed to answer. What's odd is my number is Spanish but the caller was from the UK. I've blocked it now. Glad I found this site, as I'm receiving loads of wrong number calls from the UK and Nigeria recently.

UKNigeria

11 years

They rang just the one time, showed up as a missed call on my phone. I’ve got a call blocker set up now, so that number’s sorted and blocked straight away!

11 years

Total money grab scam, be careful!

11 years

Definitely put this number on your block list!

11 years

Called once, now blocked. Pretty clear it’s a dodgy setup.

11 years

Got a call one time and they just cut off, same as with loads of others. Is there any chance to figure out who owns that number and maybe get it shut down?

11 years

They called once and just got cut off - happened a couple of times already.

11 years

Called me one time and then just disconnected.

11 years

Only rang the one time before cutting off, had to block like 4 of these numbers so far today.

11 years

My phone buzzed briefly, just a couple of rings, then showed a missed call. I looked up the number straightaway and slapped it on my block list. My phone’s on the TPS and I’m pretty careful about sharing my number. This seemed like a classic scam - trying to get you to ring back and then hit you with an eye-watering bill for just being nosy.

TPS

11 years

I received a single call that lasted merely a moment before they hung up. I'm leaning towards thinking it could be a PPI scam, but I'm sure the truth will come to light eventually. Just wanted to share what I discovered.

11 years

I didn’t actually ring back, but it popped up on my phone as a missed call.

11 years

I saw a missed call from this number just now.

11 years

I got a missed call and when I called back the charges were super expensive. It's hard to believe that they're letting this go on and people are getting ripped off like this.

11 years

It showed a missed call but my phone never actually rang.

11 years

08438696699 called me but hung up straight away.

11 years

My phone never actually rang, it just showed a missed call. Maybe they are testing which numbers are active before they call for real later on.

11 years

As others have mentioned, it seems to be a pattern where they ring once and then cut off. My advice? Whatever you do, don’t return the call! Those brief calls are likely a ruse for exorbitant callback charges. I've taken to saving the numbers in my contacts, labelling them something like "ANNOYANCE..COSTLY". This way, if they decide to ring again, I can promptly hang up as soon as I recognise the number. It's not just effective against the shady ones; it works for the likes of PPI, energy firms, and home renovation scams, too. Furthermore, you might want to consider keeping a record of these unwelcome calls in your call log. This could serve as valuable evidence of their incessant harassment; if the calls persist, you might just have enough proof to not only put a stop to it but possibly claim some compensation as well! Wishing you all the best, from the somewhat pedantic yet well-meaning 'Aldo'.

Aldo

Really frustrating, it just rings once and then cuts off. Got a call right in the middle of the night - not happy about that. Have blocked the number now.

11 years

only rang once then just cut off, bit sus like a scam call right?

11 years

My phone just buzzed with a call.

12 years

My phone buzzed, rang just one time and stopped. I didn't bother returning the call. Feels like it was some kind of scam to me.

12 years

Received a call on my mobile at precisely 14:55 today. They disconnected almost instantly.

I've now added them to my permanent block list.

Wishing you all a lovely Valentine's Day!
