A lady rang up, inquiring about who handles our advertising. We informed her it’s the managing director. I usually ensure such callers don’t get transferred, but she insisted he’d ring back tomorrow. I doubt she’ll manage to get past me if she tries!

We just received a call from these individuals. It’s high time action is taken against them.

Received a call on the 2nd of October 2009, where the caller insisted we owed £299 for an advertisement in a fire safety magazine that we apparently consented to back in May 2009. As soon as we expressed our complete ignorance of this supposed arrangement, they threatened to provide a recorded message claiming we had a verbal agreement. We are absolutely certain that no such recording exists. We suspect this is nothing more than a scam, so do be cautious!

Goodness gracious! We just received a call from some folks expressing interest in renting our flat. Thankfully, we didn't give away the actual postcode or our home number. Later on, we got another call confirming that these individuals were keen on our place and were ready to cough up £500 a month, asking for our bank details to process the deposit and first week's rent. It's absurd, really-these characters never even set foot in our flat and seemed to be after our banking information. Do stay vigilant!

I received a rather dubious message claiming I had consented to an advertisement, and they were requesting my husband’s mobile number. If their intentions were truly sincere, they would presumably possess that information already. This is the second time I’ve encountered something alarming like this. The other party involved is "Porter Publications"-a name that rings no bells with the fire service, who affirm they have no association with these individuals whatsoever. It’s best to exercise caution, folks!

We've received countless calls from these individuals claiming that we reserved an advertisement in their children's safety magazine back in March. We've firmly explained to them that we never consented to anything of the sort and that they possess the wrong details. It's blatantly a scam, as the moment you challenge their information, they become quite aggressive and rude. The most effective tactic seems to be simply hanging up without further ado.

Received a call from them earlier today, 12th November, and it was rather baffling! The folks on the line were claiming the same things as I've read in other reviews-something about a kids' fire safety programme and that we were on some sort of database. Once we expressed our uncertainty, they insisted they had evidence and would send it to us. I asked if they could ring back so I could verify it against our recorded phone conversations from that day, and just like that, the caller hung up! Quite the peculiar interaction, to say the least!

I just received a call from some outfit claiming to be First Connections or something similar. The chap was prattling on about how splendid it is that we’re backing them-giving us a big round of applause, if you will, for ‘raising funds’ in our community. He was carrying on about engaging with local primary schools and all sorts. When we mentioned we hadn’t the faintest idea what he was rambling about, he abruptly ended the call. I sensed something was off from the get-go! Just a heads up, everyone! Stay vigilant!

Received a call back in October 2009 from these folks claiming we had sponsored an advertisement in their publication aimed at educating kids about fire safety. To be honest, we can't remember having any discussions with them at all, and there's no way we'd fork out any cash for an ad. Sounds like a scam to me!

I keep getting calls from this number, it's incredibly persistent. It's just like another company that’s been contacting me with the exact same spiel, which is rather puzzling. We’ve already shelled out money to try and make them go away, and now it seems we've ended up on some dodgy directory instead!

Beware of deceptive fundraising promotions, folks! The moment you engage with these charlatans, make sure you avoid uttering “YES” at all costs. They have been known to capture your voice, twist your words, and make it appear as if you’ve consented to their advertising. Before you know it, an invoice will land on your doorstep! Luckily, there’s the Advertising Protection agency to lend a hand! If you check out their website, you'll discover that over 214 other publications aimed at kids have faced similar issues. Stay alert!

We've recently acquired the same ring and these individuals persistently ring us several times a day without leaving a single message on our answering machine. Your information has been immensely helpful; we simply don’t answer when we spot this number on our caller ID. Much appreciated!

Once more, we're back in the same boat-these chaps have attempted to contact us at least five times over the last few years. Their tactics are absolutely ridiculous! I urge you to reach out to trading standards and put an end to this nonsense. We've done it before and we'll certainly do it again! Quite honestly, we're starting to wonder if the company “Safety First” is even a legitimate entity. Has anyone managed to confirm their existence?

Our receptionists frequently receive calls on our office and home numbers from individuals claiming to be from "Safety First". Each time, we don’t have the foggiest idea who they are, and the name doesn't ring any bells whatsoever. However, the moment we ask them to send any information in writing, it seems they suddenly go silent. Quite the peculiar situation!

On the 2nd of October, 2009, we received a rather persistent call from an individual insisting that we owed £299 for an advertisement in a fire safety magazine-something supposedly arranged back in May of that same year. The moment we expressed our incredulity and denied any involvement, they ominously threatened to present us with a recorded message claiming we’d made a verbal contract. We’re quite certain there’s no such recording. It’s clear to us this is nothing but a scam, so I’d advise everyone to keep their wits about them!

I received a rather dubious call from someone claiming to be selling ad space in a magazine we’ve never heard of. They insisted that we’d somehow agreed to pay for an ad aimed at educating children about fire safety, but honestly, we can't recall any discussion whatsoever regarding this matter. The idea of coughing up £299 for advertising in a publication we know nothing about is frankly absurd!

A young lady called and asked to speak to the person in charge of advertising. We let her know that it was the managing director. She insisted on being put through, but I made it clear that it wouldn't be happening. She mentioned that she'd give it another go tomorrow. I have a feeling this might be a bit of a challenge to get around me!
