On Remembrance Sunday around 9:45 in the morning, they called me - absolute muppets. And it's not just that day, they've been ringing me every lunchtime for weeks now. Proper annoying.

They keep calling me nonstop, but now I just hang up straight away. Guess they just don’t take the hint!!!!!!!

It's odd really, I've been looking into buying a new boiler but only a couple of folks are aware of it. Now I'm left wondering if it's just a fluke or if somehow my number got shared without me knowing. Feels pretty creepy, and to be honest, I wouldn't dream of calling back on any unasked-for phone calls.

Absolute nuisance! She rings up all the time and every time I just say “no thanks” or “leave me alone,” but she just won't give up. Keeps asking me to come downstairs to check the boiler details, and I’m just like, “not bothered” and hang up. I’ve got a feeling she’ll be pestering me again soon. Next time I’m gonna be a bit more… let’s say, direct with her! Must be a rubbish pay for them to keep at it like that.

I got a call earlier from someone claiming to be the National Heating Advisory Centre. When I asked where they were located, they told me 272 Bath Street, Glasgow. But I looked it up on Google and found out that it's just a virtual office, not their real workplace - sounds like they’re hiding where they really operate. Since I'm signed up with the TPS, I made sure to report them.

I've recently received calls from some dodgy characters purporting to represent the "National Heating Advice Centre" - a rather suspect name that strikes me as decidedly contrived to seem official. What really raised my eyebrows was the ancient database they must be using; the postcode they referenced hasn't been relevant for over nine years! And to add to the frustration, they’re ringing a number that's registered with the TPS. I'm inclined to believe this number is linked to aql.com or gradwell.com, or perhaps even one of their numerous resellers. It's crucial to clarify that these folks aren't actually the entity behind the calls; they simply manage the number range 0845 862 and allocate numbers to various companies, much like how BT operates. They might have some insights into who is truly orchestrating these calls and could potentially act on it.

Received a curious phone call from a lady representing Northern Gas, a company name that seems to pop up quite a lot. She greeted me with familiarity, using my name, and claimed I was eligible for a complimentary boiler, provided I owned my home and was under 75 - quite a peculiar requirement, if you ask me. I informed her that I had already looked into this and discovered that I did not qualify for such an offer. She insisted otherwise. So, I repeated my stance, and she still maintained that I was indeed eligible. Eventually, she transferred me to someone named Shane, who quite clearly recited from a script. He explained that while they would handle the boiler installation, the cost would actually be folded into my monthly payments, which supposedly covered servicing too. I gently reminded him that the initial caller assured me it was free of charge, only for him to flatly deny that she would have ever said such a thing. I reiterated that she had mentioned it not once but twice! At that point, I'd had enough. I politely declined any further conversation and hung up the phone.

Got a call from a woman claiming to be from Northern Gas - there seem to be a few companies with that name. She already knew my name and said I could get a free boiler if I owned the home and was under 75 years old (bit odd, right?). I told her I’d already looked into it and wasn’t eligible. She insisted I was, and I repeated that I wasn’t. Then she passed me onto a bloke called Shane, who read from a script about how the boiler cost would be included in monthly fees that also covered servicing. I pointed out the first woman said it was completely free, but Shane denied she’d told me that. I told him she definitely said it twice when I challenged her, but he stood by his claim she hadn’t. I just told them I wasn’t interested and ended the call.

Got a call from National Heating Advice Centre, even though I’m on the TPS. How is that allowed? Also, it’s crazy they somehow have an ex-directory number along with my name. How on earth do they manage that?

Still going strong, eh? Another cheeky Irish chap trying to sell me boilers, not a chance!

Once more this morning, just prior to midday. Identical to what occurred yesterday. No text received.

Once again this morning, just shy of midday, the phone rang. Much like yesterday, it was the same routine; no message left behind. I resolutely refuse to engage; answering only serves to affirm that my number is active, leading them to peddle it to yet more of those pesky callers. These organisations maintain extensive databases of active numbers, which they purchase from other firms. It's a common occurrence for me to experience a wave of unsolicited calls right around the time I’m renewing my car insurance every year. The best approach is to simply NOT PICK UP, BLOCK (if possible - I can manage to block numbers on my mobile but not my landline), and just IGNORE them. With the alarming frequency of cold calls, scams, and harassing calls these days, especially since I'm an ex-D and belong to the Telephone Preference Service, it baffles me that anyone would answer their phone without first checking the caller ID. Yet, people do, only to find themselves embroiled in bizarre conversations, receiving threats, or having scammers try to extract their financial details. More action should certainly be taken to combat this issue. One would hope the government would step in, though I’m not holding my breath.

Received a call from this number after six o'clock today, but they didn't bother to leave a message. I tried calling them back with my number hidden using 141 (0845 numbers are included in my BT package) in the hopes of tying them up, but it turns out the line's registered as a fax number, so that plan backfired. If they can't be bothered to leave a message, there's a good chance they aren’t legitimate callers. I always let the answering machine take over. It certainly spares me a lot of grief. Various 'Who Called Me' platforms indicate that this number is linked to a business peddling boilers under different guises, such as The Heating Advice Company, Citizens Advice Heating, Eco Heating, and the like. Unfortunately, I can’t block incoming numbers on my landline, unlike my mobile. What I’ve found works best is to let the answering machine field calls from unknown numbers. It truly saves a lot of inconvenience. I’m registered with the Telephone Preference Service and I’m an ex-directory subscriber, but evidently, that makes no difference at all, as others have reported similar experiences. It seems to be peak season for unsolicited calls, as I’ve been inundated with at least one every evening for the past week. I often find myself spending the time between 6pm and 7pm documenting these calls on sites just like this.

Got calls from this number a few times today and a couple yesterday, but whenever I answer, there's silence apart from some background chatter. Absolutely hate it, BT really ought to stop these calls from coming through.

I received a call after 6 this evening, but the caller opted not to leave a message. I masked my number using 141 and tried to return the call, intending to waste their time a bit; however, it turned out to be registered as a fax line, which was a bit of a letdown. If they can't be bothered to leave a message, they're clearly not a legitimate caller in my book. I always allow my answering machine to take over; it saves a great deal of bother. From what I've gathered on other caller identification websites, this number is associated with a firm pushing boiler sales, such as The Heating Advice Company and Eco Heating, among other names. While I'm unable to block calls on my landline like I can on my mobile, my usual strategy is to let the answering machine handle any unfamiliar numbers. It definitely cuts down on the hassle. Even though I'm registered with the Telephone Preference Service and have gone ex-directory, it appears to have minimal impact. It feels like we’re experiencing a surge of unsolicited sales calls lately; I've been receiving at least one every night for the last week. I’ve found myself jotting down notes about these calls almost every evening between 6 and 7.

I received a call but nobody picked up; all I heard was a strange beep before the line went dead.

Got a call from 08458620059 on the 22nd August 2016, but the person never said who they were. Ended up blocking the number because it felt like a pest.

Got a call from a woman who said she was from the Heating Advice Centre, sounded like she was from the West of Scotland. She told me they’re operating out of Glasgow and were pitching a boiler replacement deal that doesn’t need any money upfront.

I received a call from a lady who had a noticeable West of Scotland accent. She mentioned that her company is situated in Glasgow and is providing boiler replacement services without any initial payment required. Quite an intriguing offer!

Had a ring on Sunday morning, but nothing at first, just quiet. Then some kind of voice came on - couldn't tell if it was a real person or just a recording - and it just said "Goodbye". Proper irritating.

Got three calls from this number earlier today. Really annoying and not wanted at all!

What's the point of having a government if they can't take action against these irritating pests who keep ringing us up?

I recently encountered a rather dodgy situation with a supposed boiler replacement scheme. This Scottish lady phoned me up and started taking wild guesses at my postcode, insisting it wasn’t showing up on her system. Yet, for some reason, she carried on with the guessing game. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!

It seems I've stumbled upon a bunch of dodgy boiler replacement con artists. There was a Scottish lady on the phone, clearly going to great lengths to keep me engaged in conversation.

I spotted a missed call from this number that resulted in a message on my voicemail. However, upon listening back, all I encountered was the typical chatter of a call centre-no actual message left. It’s interesting to see the pattern, as many others have mentioned they tend to call on Sundays too! My voicemail was recorded on the 19th of June at about 3:10 PM. I'm going to report them to Which magazine as they’re currently tackling the issue of those pricey 0845 numbers.

I got calls from 08458620059 three times between 11 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. It’s really annoying, especially when you’re waiting for a family member to ring. Just as I’m about to hang up, I catch some noise on the line. Posted on 13/06/2016.

They called me again, second time now. I never pick up if I don’t recognise the number, but I always jot it down and look it up online. These calls are honestly such a pain.

I got a call from this number earlier today (Sunday), but they didn’t leave any voicemail. Sounds like just another weekend sales call to me.

I've received multiple calls from this number. Every time I answer, they just cut the line. It's rather bothersome, especially considering my age and disability. I really do wish there was a way to put an end to these irritating calls!

I got a call from 08458620059 on the 6th of April 2016, but since the number wasn’t familiar, I just let it ring out and didn’t pick up.

I received a call from this number, and when I picked up, there was silence at the other end. After a moment, I was greeted with a "Goodbye" from a voice that clearly wasn’t fluent in English. Quite strange, really!

So I got a call about some free boiler deal and saving money on my bills. The woman said she was with Citizens Advice, but when I asked more, she actually said she was from a Citizens Advice centre. Bit misleading if you ask me. - caller: Citizens Advice Centre - Glasgow

Got two calls from this number, one on Sunday afternoon and another late Wednesday, but I wasn’t around to pick up. When I rang back, I got an American voice saying the number isn’t active anymore. So, I’ve gone ahead and blocked it now!

I've been receiving calls from this number continually. Just the other day, I cleared out most of my call history on my mobile, so now I've only got a few recent calls logged. They've attempted to reach me thrice in that short span. I did manage to pick up, although it took me a few rings to respond-roughly four, if I recall correctly. Each time, the line goes quiet, and eventually, it redirects to voicemail, but they never bother to leave a message. I'm on the Telephone Preference Service list, but unfortunately, there's no one on the line to tell them to cut it out and stop bothering me.

I've just put the phone down.

Received a call earlier today around 2 in the afternoon. Cheers to all the comments here-now we can just brush this one off, no problem.
