Bot calling re car finance mis-selling. It calls from multiple numbers to overcome blocking. This is harassment.

This is a SCAM, phoned about insulation told me she had spoken to my husband who had agreed to go ahead at which point I had a good laugh as I don’t have a husband…. She soon put the phone down.

To ring on Saturday evening during a rugby match not a good move. I checked the number and did not recognise the number so would have not answered it.

We have been receiving these calls about 7 times already today. I have told them we're not interested, but are they stupid? We're both elderly and can't keep rushing to the phone. They might get a very rude reply next time they phone. This has been going on for months now.

I have received 25-30 calls from this individual claiming to be called Joan and trying to sell me loft insulation. I explained that I was disabled and struggled to get to the phone. It made no difference she still is ringing most days. I have reported her to the telephone preference service and they are investigating.

I didn't reply as the phone didn't recognise the number. These unsolicited calls should be unlawful and banned. Thank you Phonely for your help in identifying these calls.

Usual insulation nonesense, pre recorded

This number rang me about loft insulation saying they were "local energy advisors." I told them I was busy but they kept talking. Very rude and pushy.
