This is a pain in the neck, how can you stop it!

Reaches answerphone then hangs up. If it was genuine I’m sure they would leave their details in a message.

Has called my home landline number several times today, but each time the phone just rings twice so I have yet to answer it. A week ago I reached state pension age, and I wonder if they have somehow got my details from some list of pensioners. Obviously suspected as a scam.

I have received 5 calls from this number on my landline today. I have not answered any of them as I looked up Google some time ago and was informed that numbers like this could be a scam. I am elderly and do not need this hassle.

This number call me 10 times yesterday in the end we disconnected the phone and it has started again today

This number keeps phoning. I do not answer it as I looked up the number and others said it was spam. I am elderly and it is a nuisance having to go to the phone thinking it is someone I know and then seeing that number again.
