I've been getting this call non-stop. Each time I answer, there's a silence for a moment, and then, after a few ticks, an automated voice chirps out a "goodbye". It's rather amusing, really-these folks can't even be bothered to hide their number!

I received a call on the 4th of May at 11 in the morning. There was no answer after that, just a message saying 'goodbye'. Since I'm registered with the Telephone Preference Service, I shall be lodging a complaint.

I received a rather lengthy pause on the line, almost as if it were an automated call. Then, a gent on the other end began chirping about some grant available for either cavity wall or loft insulation. The moment I mentioned that we already had both our loft and walls taken care of, he immediately said 'righto' and hung up without further ado. Quite peculiar, if you ask me!

Received a couple of rings earlier today. Just silence on the other end, then it concluded with a recorded message saying "goodbye."

Could someone please enlighten me about the owner of the number 08452879493? We answered the call, but there was complete silence on the other end. It’s quite frustrating!

Complete scam! If you try to ring them back, these individuals are cashing in. It’s nothing but a dodgy get-rich-quick racket.

Received a call from this number earlier today, but nobody was in to take it. Could it be British Gas ringing once more?

We've received this call several times, probably around four or five, and we've never answered. Interestingly, we were near the phone earlier today and managed to pick it up but there was nothing on the other end. It reminded me of the time we had loft insulation done! I'm registered with TPS, so I plan to lodge a complaint about this.

I answered the phone, but after a mere five minutes of awkward silence, an automated voice piped up with a cheery 'goodbye'. After that, the call disconnected. It's incredibly frustrating, especially considering we're on the Telephone Preference Service list.

We were right by the phone, so we answered promptly. There was nothing but silence for a moment, and then an automated voice chimed in with a "goodbye."

I've received around five calls in the past four days from the number 08452879493, and each time I answer, the line goes dead almost immediately. Does anyone know who this might be and why they keep calling? It’s rather suspicious!

I was in the studio tinkering away when the phone went off, so I cranked up some Cole Porter I was working on. I reckon that would really get the pulses racing!

It kicked off with just silence, followed by some automated 'Goodbye' recording. Quite infuriating, to say the least.

Mysteriously, they followed up with, "Thanks ever so much for your call."

I've been receiving calls from someone trying to sell wall insulation, claiming it's part of a government grant scheme. I've flagged this with the Telephone Preference Service since it seems rather dubious.

I received two calls from this number. The first time, I wasn't able to answer before it stopped ringing. When it rang again, I picked up to say hello, but was met with silence. Then, out of the blue, it hung up after saying goodbye in a recorded voice. Quite odd!

I'm absolutely fed up with grants4u.com! Every single site they have seems to be shut down. It’s pretty clear they’re up to no good, and frankly, this lot need to be banned for good! I was astonished to discover that the grants4u domain is now up for grabs! How about we gather all the details from the site and send them a mountain of postcards? Just imagine the scene if they received over 5,000 postcards saying “STOP CALLING ME!” - that would really get on their nerves!

We received a call from this number, and when we tried to return the call, we found ourselves in a lengthy queue. We sincerely hope the charges won't be exorbitant for this. The caller managed to reach us five times, which is why we couldn't answer initially. As we are registered with the Telephone Preference Service, we intend to lodge a complaint about this.

We received the exact same silent call from this number. Being registered with TPS, we've already alerted them about the silent ring. Anyone else who receives a call like this ought to report it too.

I've received a call from a telemarketing company going by the name of Grants4U. They're trying to pitch loft insulation and cavity wall insulation services.

We received a call from these folks who claimed to be from a certain place, yet we couldn’t quite catch what they were saying.

I received a call from 0845 2879493 at 11:43 on the 4th of March, 2011. When we confirmed our identity, we asked for the caller's information, but the line went dead immediately. After the call, I used 1471 to retrieve the number, but it seems there's no way to call it back.

Whenever I come across a silent call, I usually recite, "Jesus loves you." Subsequently, I was met with what sounded like a pre-recorded message simply saying, "goodbye." From what I understand, to comply with the regulations, callers ought to be registered with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). So, it’s primarily the more credible telemarketing firms that avoid bothering you. If one were so inclined, they could just peruse a phone directory and make inquiries, which as far as I’m aware, isn’t against the law. Moreover, it’s nearly unfeasible to monitor or regulate calls coming from overseas.
