08458630667

RCA Business Consultants from Manchester tried to buy my business! It's only been running for about 6 months. Looks like they’re also using LinkedIn, so I guess loads of others might get the same call. The number started with 0161 but I ended up deleting it. Pretty sure they’ll call again tho!

I got a call from this number inquiring about the business owner. I informed them that they weren't calling from this office and that their operations are overseas. I also mentioned that we're not permitted to provide email addresses for unsolicited sales calls-then they simply disconnected! Quite cheeky, really!

Did one of the blokes have a Yorkshire accent, by any chance? And is she really saying she's going to knock the teeth out of that lad's mouth?

Non stop ringin but cant call em back to tell em off coz all I get is a message sayin RTA tried to reach me. My voicemail is full all the time now. Can’t block the number either coz it’s always private. This really ought to be against the law.

Called my work and wanted to talk to my manager but when I told them he was out, they just ended the call. total scam, dont bother calling back!!

Absolutely annoying pestering, nobody answers either. They keep calling from 08458630667 which I’ve blocked, but now they ring from a private number. Must be the same lot.

Just like everyone else, they called asking for the owner, so I asked what it was about and the rude person just hung up on me.

Got a call from this number again today, answered it but they just dropped the call. I’m lodgin a complaint with BT about it.

Received an unwelcome call today; when I picked up, there was nothing but silence on the other end. I asked to speak to the person who owns the number, but as soon as I mentioned they weren’t around, the line went dead almost instantly. Quite peculiar, to say the least.

Got a call from this number, nothing said and then they just ended it. So annoying.

A guy called asking for the business owner. As soon as I told him they weren’t at work today, he just ended the call immediately.

Ringed my company and tells me to drop my accent. Well alright then!

They ring non stop every day but no one ever answers on the other side!

Got a call from this number on 24/6/16 at around 10:48, I heard some people talking then the call was cut off. They've rung me before too, but usually there's nothing but silence when I answer.

I usually just block these kinds of numbers straight away, that’s my go-to move.

Answered the call and imediatly hung up.

08458630667 keeps ringing but hangs up straight away, what’s the point of that? Just stop being idiots and quit calling me!

Absolutely no point to these calls, I just can't understand how anyone finds these at all rewarding. Just a total waste of time.

If its RTA business consults youre dealing with, be careful - its a total scam. They say they're the biggest business selling agents in the UK, but dont trust them at all. Just search online and youll find out what a terrible company they are, only trying to cheat people out of their cash. Stay well clear!

This person keeps ringing up asking for the owner of the business. When we ask what it’s about, he just says 'the future of the business.' We ask for more details and he gets quite rude. There are 3 directors at RTA (Business Consultants) Ltd, one being Paul Francis O'Reilly, 74 Dickenson Road, Manchester M14 5HF. I reckon everyone should send him a letter without a stamp just to waste his time. We can't stop the calls and he can't stop us posting letters.

I wouldn’t go near them, not even with a ten-foot pole!

Got a call from some woman who sounded really sketchy, asking for the person in charge of the business. When I asked if it was a cold call, she just snapped and hung up on me, no goodbye or anything.

Loads of calls from these idiots, and they just hang up when you ask who they are. Such a hassle!

Apparently, it’s a company that's been in touch with the RTA regarding the sale of your business. Just received a call from these folks myself!

Got a call from someone all posh sounding, claimed he was looking to chat with the business owner about "business and acquisitions". Seemed pretty fancy at first. But nah, no luck getting past me! Ha!

I just went and blocked that number.

Rang in at 11:35 this morning on the 23rd of March 2013. Utterly uninterested in engaging in any conversation-just bluntly stated he wasn't keen on chatting. I sincerely hope this marks the end of it! The chap isn’t hiding his number, so it seems he’s anticipating a return call. I do wish these persistent cold callers would take a hint. It's becoming a nuisance, really, with four or five calls flooding in daily. Such an absolute drain on time!

Try ringing Ceri Edwards on 0161 975 1501 and tell him what you think straight away.

Give Ceri Edwards a bell on 0161 0311 6494; he's a Director over at RTA (Business Consultants) Ltd. The call came from RTA Business Consultants, just so you know.

Proper pain, wastes my time during work hours, no one even picks up, gone ahead and blocked it now.

Had these quiet morons call me two times today, not a word said. Ridiculous.

Got a call from 08458630667, said they were from the RTA - just hung up straight away, didn’t want to deal with any hassle.

If you happen to own an iPhone, simply go ahead and block the number. It’ll save you a great deal of hassle in the long run.

Rang up asking for the owner but quickly ended the call when I asked for their name.

0845 863 0667 rang me for the first time and I picked up. It was some automated message saying, "Well done! You've been picked to win." I just ended the call right away and have been ignoring all the calls from this number ever since.

Had some cheeky so-called 'sales rep' ring me up, acting like they were keen to buy the business or something. Wasn't taking no for an answer at all. I ended up hanging up on them, but couldn’t ring back since the number won’t accept incoming calls - probably why they think it’s fine to be so impolite.

This number keeps ringing me non-stop, it's really annoying.

I reckon this might be some kinda scam going on here.

They called asking if the person in charge was around, and when I said no, they just ended the call.

This number keeps ringing me non-stop, I just ignore it every time.

Loads of silent rings from this number, then finally had a word with Sandra. She sounded proper down in the dumps, clearly hated what she does. Bit of pity for her really, having to put up with that every day must be awful. Told her to take my number off their list - guess we’ll find out if that actually helps...

There was silence for nearly 10 seconds, then I heard this girl laugh before they just cut the call. I’m not bothered enough to call back and see who it was, but honestly, sounds like they’re just messing about and wasting people's time for a laugh.

There was about a 10 second pause then I heard some lass laughing before they just cut the call. Honestly, sounds like folks with no real business to attend to. Such a waste of time. I’m never picking up when it’s this number again.

keeps ringing my phone nonstop.

Pretty sure they have my number saved or something, keeps ringing loads. I blocked ‘em after they called 9 times on Friday and already 3 times just today. I grabbed a call blocker app on my phone cause it’s free and it stops the calls, plus it shows me a list of missed calls from them.

Calls about 4 or 5 times every day! Really irritating! Went straight to voicemail the first time i answered.

Got a call on our recently changed landline askin if we were interested in selling our business. Problem is, we don't have any business at all!

Didn’t get any response when I tried to reply.

Those absolute lowlifes really should face the consequences of their actions. Honestly, it would be wise to involve the authorities and have them arrested for their persistent harassment. It’s about time we show these ne'er-do-wells that their behaviour won't be tolerated, setting a standard for all those other unsavoury characters lurking about.

Got a call earlier today (11th Nov 2015), some bloke saying folks nearby were interested in buying my business. Told him I was tied up and ended the call quickly. Then, I dialled back about five minutes later to find out who it was, but all I got was a weird buzzing noise. Pretty strange!

This number kept ringing me every day but always just ended the call, so I decided to block them.

I’m getting constantly bugged by random calls. Wish there was an easier way to stop them from ringing my phone.

I've been receiving silent calls from this number, and it's quite frustrating. I really think they ought to lose their 0845 licence for this nonsense!

Watch out! They hit me with a £500 fee to cancel a contract, even tho they never offered my business any services. Not a single call from them for over 5 years! Totally unfair.

This number has been driving me mad lately - they've called me 6 times over the past 2 days and 3 times just this last hour. I’ve refused to pick up every single time!

They keep ringing my number loads of times each day, even though I've told them it's my personal number and not a business. Still they don't stop calling!

These folks keep ringing up and seem to assume you’ll return the call-what a bunch of numpties! We would never, not in a million years, ring them back.

Got a call from someone pushing to buy my business. Told them I’m just a sole trader and it’s not up for sale, but they ignored that. Ended up hanging up on me after I tried to explain.

Just disconnects as soon as I pick up.

The comment from 'Anonymous' up there mentioned that the caller is from a firm called RTA. As someone working in advertising, I'd wager it actually means Right Tossers Anonymous, wouldn't you say?

Been getting calls from this number like 4 times per day over the past three days!

I keep getting at least four calls every single day! And the thing is, I don’t even run a business! This is just ridiculous now!

Why not employ a little tactic of your own with these companies? It can be quite entertaining. If you find yourself with some spare time and are in the mood for a chuckle, keep them chatting as long as possible while feigning interest in their pitch. Fire off as many questions as you can conjure and interrogate each point they make. When you've had enough or need to dash off to something else, simply inform them that you have zero interest in what they’ve proposed and that your so-called interest was just a way to lead them on-after all, you’re just returning the favour for their inconvenient call that interrupted your day. Additionally, if you’re feeling particularly cheeky like I have in times gone by, invite these salespeople over to give you quotes on things like double glazing or insurance. After they’ve gone through their elaborate spiel and invested considerable time, you can have a good laugh telling them it was all for kicks, prompted by their unsolicited outreach. Enjoy yourself!

Another bloody waste of time from these idiots! Seriously, how hard is it to stop messing about?!

tried calling back, got a busy signal, lol an 0845. number always busy, best to avoid!

When we say no, it really means no! RTA, have you got that through your thick skull now?

WHY IS IT THAT SOME FOLKS JUST DRAG US INTO THEIR TIME-WASTING GAMES?

I received a call on my mobile at three in the morning, yet they didn't speak when I answered.

No matter how many times they call, I just ignore the landline completely - I've even turned the ringer off! Haha, let them keep trying!

Had a right interesting conversation about selling my business - though to be honest, I wasn’t even aware I owned one to begin with! What a surprise!

For over a year, they've been pestering me relentlessly with phone calls. On my most recent exchange, I mentioned that the owner had relocated overseas and the business was no longer operational. I thought, splendid - that would put an end to it! **But lo and behold, I was mistaken!** The calls just keep coming! So when they rang again, I dramatically declared, "the owner has passed away..." and to my delight, the incessant calls ceased. Take my advice: you’ll struggle to shake them off otherwise. They clearly have no personal acquaintance with the owner. So, here’s a cheeky toast to whoever the late owner may have been... R.I.P! Ha! ;0)

Honestly, she’s such a nuisance! We told them to clear off and look for help somewhere else! Absolute fool!

I've had enough of these persistent calls! I've requested multiple times to be taken off their list, yet they just won't stop. I recently had a conversation with someone named David, and he had the audacity to hang up on me. Absolute chancers! I'd really appreciate it if someone could look into this matter.

Get lost!!!! You lot are a bunch of muppets!!!! Why dont ya get a real job, maybe cleaning the streets or fixing all the bloody potholes!!!

They really can't take a hint, can they? I'm not interested in selling my business at all, and there's no way I'd let them have it.

I keep getting calls from them and no matter how many times I ask, they just won't remove me from their calling list!

These callers are such a nuisance, but I finally came across a brilliant app that just blocks their number completely. My phone hardly rings at all now, just a brief blip. At least it’s costing them instead of me. Honestly, don’t pick up if you can help it.

My phone kept buzzing loads, like 6times a day, and it was always from one of those 0845 numbers. I ended up getting this app for my iPhone called Iblacklist, which was worth every penny. The best bit? Anytime that annoying number shows up, I just block it straight from the recent calls list. Then I don’t have to worry about it again. If you fancy a laugh, check out the history tab - there's a long list of how many times that number has been stopped dead in its tracks!

I rang the 0800 number listed and was promised that my number would be taken off their calling list.

This number just keeps ringin and hangin up right after, its so annoyin with all the repeat calls.

So, apparently they’re keen on purchasing your business, but if you show any interest, you’ll have to fork out a fee for them to appraise it first. Does that make sense to anyone else?

Got a call from someone wanting to sell me a business, like, what on earth? Totally confused me!
