Definitely dodgy. Got really sharp when I asked who they were (he said UK Today), was v cross when I asked what UK Today was, an insisted that they are a “database management company” and that he only had five questions for me. When I asked why I should supply data to a database management company, he hung up on me. Unnerving as he had my name — somebody has been selling my personal data. Have blocked, not for the first time, they must have several numbers.

Definitely dodgy. Phoned my personal mobile but failed to leave message at 12:06 today. Also another Manchester number, 01615669259, did the same at 15:56 yesterday, 08 October.

Unknown number so I didn’t pick up. After checking later, seems to be linked to nuisance or scam activity.

Harassing? Neutral? I didn't "pick up" so don't know who rang. Yet another unknown number!
