08438840030

They keep ringing, mostly in the morning around mid time. Always say they’re nearby! This has been going on for ages here in our tiny village! Really need to put an end to these calls!

Really tired of getting calls from this number, even though I’m signed up with the TPS.

I've received a fair few calls from this number, despite being registered with the Telephone Preference Service. Most of the time, it’s an automated voice of a woman bleating on about some replacement boiler scheme, solar energy options, and double glazing offers. I've attempted pressing 9 to have them take my number off their list, but that doesn’t seem to make a bit of difference. It's all becoming rather tiresome, to be honest. - caller: 0843 884 0030

Got a call I didn’t ask for but stuck around to have a word with whoever answered to let them know what I thought about their cold calls. Told them I’m not on benefits and don’t require a new boiler. Didn’t catch the company’s name, sadly, but fingers crossed speaking to a real person instead of a robot might put an end to these annoying calls! Proper frustrating. I’m registered with TPS as well, but that clearly doesn’t bother them one bit.

Had the same thing happen to me like everyone else. I’ve reported it to the ICO online - anyone can do it that way. The more folks who report, the better chance something will actually get done.

A lassie with a distinctive Glasgow brogue snapped at me to pipe down when I politely requested she cease her daily bombardment of calls. It’s infuriating, especially as I’m registered with the Telephone Preference Service, and frankly, I’ve had enough of these unsolicited interruptions. It seems they presume that if you own a landline, you're either ancient or lacking in common sense. Honestly, I think these persistent botherers deserve some serious consequences for their actions! - Caller: Boiler replacement and the like, didn’t bother to identify themselves.

Really sick of this firm. They ring every single day and leave messages if I don’t answer. I definitely don’t want a boiler!!

What can I even say? This number keeps ringing me up a couple of times daily. "It really shouldn’t be permitted," as Mr Growser used to say - anyone else recall him?

Had enough of this number, called it two times today and just got some automated voice.

I hardly ever pick up my landline but always see who’s called. Nearly every time it rings for ages, it’s this same number. Honestly, it’s driving me mad. If there were any way to stop these people for good, they’d have been done away with ages ago.

This number showed up pretending to be someone else on my call blocker! Talking nonsense about boiler offers. I can't get how these folks sleep at night, but I guess they do.

Hello there! My answering machine seems to be silent regarding their messages, yet they persist in giving me a ring! It's quite perplexing, isn't it?

Got a robo call from a woman about some sort of Green Deal thing. They didn’t say who they were, but I heard somewhere it’s linked to a Mr Ahmed (not sure if that’s legit or dodgy). I'm on the TPS list and still get these annoying calls constantly. Why won't the phone companies crack down harder on these pesky telep###s? Honestly, thinking of just getting rid of my landline altogether.

Got a robocall from a woman talking about some Green Deal thing. Didn't say which company she was from though. I'm on the TPS list so I really shouldn't be getting these annoying calls. Might just get rid of my landline if this keeps up.

I chose not to pick up cuz the number seemed a bit dodgy to me.

Answered the phone but no one spoke. Have blocked the number now.

I received a rather pesky automated call earlier; a woman’s voice was going on about the Green Deal. Oddly enough, there was no company name given. I’ve come across a mention of someone named Mr Ahmed allegedly being connected to this outfit, which strikes me as rather fishy. Naturally, I’m registered with the TPS and shouldn’t be inundated with such bothersome calls. It really makes one wonder why telecom firms aren’t doing more to silence these telemarketers, doesn’t it? At this rate, I might just be tempted to ditch my landline entirely. - Caller: unknown

This number has been ringing me incessantly, practically every day without fail and at all hours. I managed to speak to an actual person after pressing 2, and I made it quite clear that I'd be escalating this to the authorities if they didn’t cease contacting me. They promptly ended the call. Let's see if that does the trick and stops these nuisance calls. - caller: 08438840030

This number has been ringing me both yesterday and today. I usually don’t pick up calls from numbers like this, so my answerphone picks up. Right after it clicks over, the call just hangs up. Pretty irritating if you ask me.

got calls from this number every day for ages - they refuse to say what company they are and ignore requests to take you off their call list

I've been bombarded by calls from this number time and again, despite being on the Telephone Preference Service list. I hung on, listening for an option to hit '9' to take my number off their list, but alas, it never came. In a fit of frustration today, I opted for '2' to glean more details, hoping to speak to a person about halting these incessant calls. Instead, I was subjected to an annoyingly repetitious tune for ages, all the while being told in a maddening American drawl that 'your call matters to us.' Eventually, I was abruptly cut off with a 'Goodbye'. This feels like nothing short of a SCAM. Am I incurring charges for pressing '2' in their prompt? The caller was associated with some Green Deal nonsense.

I've been receiving calls from this number pretty regularly, about twice a day on occasion, usually concerning some automated message about the national database and the Green Deal. It all kicked off a few months back. Quite the nuisance, if I do say so!

Got another automated message on my voicemail, that’s twice today now. Like others said, it’s annoying there’s no number to ring back or any easy option to get off their list. Why can’t the regulators like TPS or BT do something to put a stop to this?

so frustrating, i’m on the TPS list and they’ve rang me at least 20 times! they keep saying it’s from the “national database” or some spam about selling boilers. i live in a council flat, how do they even have my number?

This number keeps ringing us and it's really frustrating since our number is ex-directory and we never share it. The government and ICO should just make these sorts of calls unlawful. Why should we have to jump through hoops to try and block these nuisance calls? They need to be banned and the people behind them punished properly so they can't carry on like this.

I've gotten like 5 calls already. They keep saying stuff like "National database" and telling me to "Press 2." Wish the ICO would just sort these people out!!

My BT call blocker stops the calls from even ringing, though it logs the number. Finally, my home feels calm again. It’s really a shame that we have to take such tough steps just to avoid these annoying calls. I always assumed harassment was against the law, but it looks like the officials don’t really care much about it.

BT 8500 basically shows the call didn’t connect, but it still says they attempted to ring. When that occurs, I just pop the number into this site and that’s how I figure out who was calling.

I asked my husband to ignore the call since that company has rang us several times already, and I really don’t want any dealings with them.

Got a BT 8500 phone and its like a wall against all those annoying calls. Since we started using it, not a single unwanted call has come through. Honestly, I’d suggest everyone get one. This number used to bug me all the time, but now it’s totally quiet.

This number calls me all the time, I’ve stopped picking up now cos it’s just so annoying! No matter how many times I tell them to remove me from their list, they just keep ringing. It’s proper harassment.

Didn’t pick up the call. Looked the number up and it was another boiler service trying to sell renewals. Thinking about following someone else’s tip to set a time for them to call when I’m not around - maybe they’ll get the hint then.

Such a bother, this number keeps ringing me daily, mostly while I’m at my job. If they bother to leave a voicemail, they don’t provide any way for me to opt-out of their incessant calls.

They kept calling loads about some efficiency boiler problem. Kept ringing then just stopped without leaving a message but woke me up when I was poorly in bed for no good reason at all.

Honestly, the easiest trick is to hit 2 and book a visit when you’re not actually home - it really winds up the heating firms, and trust me, they’ll deal with these annoying calls. We got a new boiler from British Gas like 3 months back and they sent someone to check for a replacement. When they turned up I just pretended to be clueless about it. Totally did the job!

For a change, I managed to pick up the phone just in time! I've scheduled a complimentary window assessment for tomorrow morning. A company by the name of Penicuik is also carrying out work in my neighbourhood.

They called us again real early this morning. We’ve been staying up late lately so the early ringing just wakes us up. Needs to chill out with the calls. We’re on the TPS so really hoping this gets fixed soon.

Annoying me with these nonstop calls, totally invading my privacy. Had to block them.

Yet again, we received a call at the crack of dawn. With our late-night routines, these early morning disturbances are really interrupting our sleep. It’s getting a bit much, to be honest. We’re registered with the Telephone Preference Service, so we’re hoping to have this resolved soon. The caller seemed to be one of those boiler companies or something similar.

Green Deal kept ringing me nonstop for ages so I reported them to ico.org.uk. Seriously, everyone needs to try the ico service, TPS just doesn’t do anything.

This number phoned me at 9.38 this morning. I have talkng caller ID so I could see it wasnt saved in my contacts. When my answerphone picked up it just hung up, no message left. After seeing all the comments here, I’ve gone ahead and reported it to the ICO. I’m also on the TPS.

Green deal calling every day, what a pain!

Left a silent message on their voicemail after my call got sent there by my new call blocker, which I got just last month after noticing most calls were unwelcome sales pitches rather than anything useful. It’s a bit of a gamble since I might miss something important, but I was fed up with the stress of dealing with those rude callers. I really think the ICO should have the power to instantly suspend numbers reported multiple times - fines just drag on and don’t really discourage them. Shutting down numbers nationwide during a campaign would hit them harder and probably stop it sooner.

National Energy Database called about a boiler offer. Typical, no way to opt out.

I told them to take me off their list and they just laughed it off, then hung up when I asked who they were.

08438840030 rings me like 2 or 3 times daily - something about green energy and national database rubbish - says press 2 right now!! No way to say no or opt out. Proper annoying!

Keep getting calls from this number about some boiler deal. Now when I select option 2, I put a loud alarm on and hold it to the phone. Doesn’t make the calls stop, but might just blow out their eardrums!

08438840030 keeps calling me, it's some Green Deal thing trying to get people to install boilers. They ring loads, and sometimes the call just ends once I answer. I've told them to quit calling, but they still ring me up in the morning and evening. If your phone can block numbers, I'd suggest putting this one on the block list.

No idea who it is, but they just keep ringing nonstop.

Got a call from Green Deal Funding Company today. They keep ringing me all the time. I’ve finally reported them to the ICO, fingers crossed they look into it. If you get calls from them, make sure you report it too - the more complaints they get, the better chance something gets done.

08438840030 keeps ringing me daily, sometimes even 4 times a day! Just now, they left a message on my voicemail. Can anyone put a stop to these annoying calls?

Horrible scam, full of lies.

They keep ringing me non stop!!!

They won’t stop ringing me either, I tried pressing 2 to speak to someone and ended up with a rude woman who just shouted over me, even after I swore at her and said I’d call the coppers! So frustrating, I really wish I could catch these scammers!

They keep ringing me nonstop all day long. Any idea how to get them to stop?

Today, I got an irritating call from a recorded message using 08438840030, chatting about things like boiler replacements, double glazing, and solar panels. The message claimed my house hadn’t been checked on their 'National Database', and I was prompted to press 2 if I fancied a surveyor popping round. It’s become a regular bother for me, as I seem to receive at least six of these calls weekly, and most of the time, the number shows up as 'Unavailable'. However, this time, I managed to trace the number back to 0141 367 9971, which connected me to an actual person. He identified the business as iCapital, located at 54 Cook Street in Glasgow. I explicitly requested to be taken off their list, and he assured me that it would be done. Let’s see if that actually happens! - Caller: iCapital, 54 Cook Street, Glasgow.

Got a nasty scam call claiming there’s some big national register. Told them I’m registered with TPS and reporting it. Too many of these fraudsters around!

I've been receiving calls daily this week, and on a few occasions, it’s been more than just one call a day!

Keep getting calls from Green Deal 08438840030, they ring me up every single day while I'm busy working. It's so frustrating. When I finally manage to talk to someone, they’re really rude and short with me, especially since my boiler doesn't need replacing at all.

0843884005, 08458620457, 08438840030, 02031988115 keep calling me loads, and from what I’ve seen from other folks, the complaints about these numbers are the same. I reckon it’s pure harassment at this point and I’m keeping an eye on them every day, thinking about reporting these calls to the police or maybe taking legal action. TPS seems useless - what’s even their point? Feels like they don’t do anything. J. A. Hunter

Typical recorded call from one of those national databases, complete rubbish. I’m definitely going to report this number.

I've had the same frustrating experience as many others sharing their thoughts here, even though I'm already registered with the Telephone Preference Service. What's more, there's no way to block these incessant calls. I'm considering reaching out to OFCOM for further action.

Got loads of these annoying recorded messages about replacement boilers, supposedly from 'the National Database'. Tried pressing 9 to stop getting them but it doesn't work at all. Even if it was legit, we wouldn’t be eligible anyway. They keep coming in waves. If you hang up before it finishes, the call stays connected and the phone line stays busy. They’ve sent the same message from a couple of different numbers too.

Got a call from them earlier today, same robotic message as mentioned here, so I pressed 2 to reach a person. The lady on the line was really rude, insisting my name and number came from the ‘national database’ even though they had the wrong name, someone who’s never lived here. She also said the TPS doesn’t exist and isn’t valid in Scotland. She went on like that for about 5 minutes before swearing at me and hanging up. I tried ringing back but just got another automated message saying it was a sales call before it ended. I've reported them to the ICO.

These muppets have been ringing me non-stop since Monday (14 Dec 2015) from 08438840030 and 02031988115 trying to push a boiler on me. I've been playing along just to waste their time like they do mine, but things got out of hand today, 17 Dec 2015 at 14:02, when they rang back from a withheld number after I told them where to shove it. The caller, a woman, then started threatening to come and sort me out, which is ridiculous. I've reported the whole thing to my local cops and seriously recommend everyone else do the same - we need to put an end to these muppets!

This number is ringing me daily without fail. It's always the same automated spiel about upgrading your boiler, waffling on about pressing 2 to opt out, or whatever. Most times, I just hang up in frustration. But today, out of sheer curiosity, I pressed 2 to ask them to cease with the incessant calls. What a ghastly response I got! An overly cheerful “och cheerio!” which left me feeling rather irked, to say the least.

Got a call from them today, with the same automated message as mentioned before. I pressed 2 to speak to someone, and the woman who answered was really rude, insisting my name and number (even though they had the wrong name, someone who’s never lived here) came from some 'national database'. She also said the TPS doesn’t exist and doesn’t cover Scotland. This went on for about 5 minutes before she started swearing and then just hung up. I tried ringing back but got another automated message saying I'd been contacted by a sales firm, then it ended the call. I've reported it to the ICO.

Got three calls in the last week from "Green Deal" or something about a "Scheme ending 2016" followed by "Press 2." Our number is on the TPS list, mind you.

A lady's voice keeps saying something about a "National Data Base for energy assessments." Total rubbish! I get calls like this nearly every single day. I'm going to report them to ico.org.uk.

I dont even have a boiler that needs changing out yet.

0843884003 is on some national list or something, they ring me nonstop every single day currently. Big thanks to the person who shared ico.org.uk with me. I've now filed a complaint there too. Sadly, I get tonnes of calls from India and the numbers are all random, so it's pretty much impossible to block them all.

Got a recorded call saying they had my number from some National Database about a Green assessment. These calls keep coming and they’re really annoying. I’ve now reported it to ico.org.uk in hope they can do something to stop this scam. I’m on TPS so shouldn’t be getting any of these calls anyway.

The establishment in question is iCapital, situated at 54 Cook Street, Glasgow. The gentleman in charge there is Mr. Ahmed. You might consider dialling 0141 367 9971 to have a chat with him directly!

I receive calls from this number every single day; it’s always the same recorded message. They claim to be associated with some sort of National Database, touting that if I'm receiving any benefits, I could get a free boiler. I tend to hang up as soon as the message begins. The annoyance is, despite hanging up, they continue to ring me daily. At 61 and with my health not being the best, I feel quite anxious and harassed by these unsolicited interruptions. They often call at times when I'm trying to rest, or when I’m struggling to reach the phone, thinking it might be an important call from a family member-only to discover it’s them yet again. I’m already listed with the Telephone Preference Service, so I've taken that step. If I were to call them back, nobody responds, and I'm terrified of potentially incurring charges as it could be a premium-rate number. What measures can I take to put an end to these incessant calls? It feels never-ending.

They ring me nearly daily, proper annoying.

This number keeps ringing me about somethin called the Green Deal. They say you had to get a boiler by 2016 which just ain't true. There's no way to get them to stop as pressing option 2 doesn't do squat. Even though my number is on the TPS list, I still get these annoying and pointless calls all the time. Honestly, these pest calls need to be sorted out soon.

The establishment in question is iCapital, located at 54 Cook Street in Glasgow. The individual in charge is a gentleman named Mr Ahmed. If you fancy having a word with him, why not dial 0141 367 9971? - from the caller: iCapital

TOTAL FRAUDS. NEVER PICK UP!

I've already had two calls today from this same number - they claimed to be from some green deal, saying they use a national database. Thing is, I'm signed up with TPS, so all this feels pointless. Makes me think, could they be sourcing our numbers straight from the TPS list?!

This is the third automated call ive got this week. Im ex directory and signed up with the TPS but they keep ringing me. Just ended the call and didnt bother answering, such a nuisance.

Avoid returning calls to this number... they just want you to stay on the line forever so they can cash in more from the call.

Keep getting these Green Deal robo calls with no invite from me. It’s really annoying. I’m on the TPS but still end up with about 2 or 3 calls every single day. Now I just let every call straight to voicemail. Stuff like this seriously messes with our peace of mind.

I received a call from an auto service claiming they were involved in some green initiative, offering complimentary boilers if one meets certain criteria. When I pressed 2, I was unexpectedly connected to Warwick hospital. I'm now left in the dark about whether any charges have been applied to my account. Quite perplexing, really!

Got another one of those Green Deal government robocalls today. The recorded message was awful, just a waste of time. I've blocked the number and reported it already. These auto-dialler calls are seriously getting on my nerves and have to end.

Green Deal Evaluation
Occasionally, they assert that their firm goes by the title of The Green Deal Funding Centre.
They operate out of Glasgow, if I'm not mistaken.
It's possible they're merely a telemarketing outfit.
I’ll look into this further and provide updates as I gather more details.
I recommend registering with the TPS and the ICO for your own protection.

Got a call from this number today, looked it up here, then instantly blocked it on my BT t#### phone. Had to get a new phone just so I could block these pesky numbers properly, but honestly, the calm is totally worth it.

This number keeps ringing me every few days, totally frustrating. I pressed 2 to try and opt out but the person who picked up said they weren’t linked to the calls at all.

Even though I'm registered with the Telephone Preference Service, I've received three identical recorded messages from this or similar 0843 numbers in the past fortnight. Each one purports to be about the Green Deal energy assessment, mentioning a "National database" as if it's an official matter, and claims that all homes in the UK need to be assessed by 2016, suggesting that it's a legal stipulation. They encourage me to return the call. However, none of these assertions hold any truth, and dialing 0843 numbers incurs a premium charge (often ranging from 7-19p per minute from landlines). Furthermore, most reputable businesses have moved away from such numbers. It's crucial to report these fraudsters to the Information Commissioner's Office so they can face appropriate action and fines. - caller: (Not provided)

08438840030 rings me up every single day, been like this for months! Tried hitting 2 like they said but it didn’t work, so much for the TPS protection! If anyone’s got a way to block this, please share here before I lose it!!

Got two calls in as many days! When I hit 2, the woman asked to talk to the homeowner (which is me). I told them off about calling me and then the line just dropped!

Got a recorded call about some boiler scrappage thing. It said to press 2 if I want more details. Total scam, watch out!

Got a call looking for Mr or Mrs Scott, so I asked who it was and what it was regarding. The woman suddenly got all moody, saying she’d call back when Mr Scott was home. Thing is, I’m Mr Scott!

Some bloke rang me saying he got my number from the national postal records. When I asked for his company's details, he totally blanked on the name and address, said it was his first day or something. Tried to get through to his manager, but apparently they'd already knocked off for the day. Couldn’t even give me a proper contact number. Seemed all a bit dodgy to me.

Got one of those Weegie boiler scams, they even threw in fake legal warnings. Honestly, not even worth the hassle - like trying to clean gum off your shoe with some charity pen.

got one of those "national database" automated calls AGAIN! ive lost count how many times now. always so frustrating when im in a hurry and its just that bloody call once more. my number's been on the TPS for ages too.

08438840030 I hit 2 and told them to stop phoning me and right after I said that, the line just cut off lol
