I have just received 2 calls from this number today, both to my mobile, which is registered with TPS. The first call they just said hello and then hung up. The second he said they had spoken to me before about a conservatory. Since I have never spoken to anyone about a conservatory, this is clearly a lie, which I pointed out, so they hung up again.
Had a phone call at 19.30 on 2/11/2010 from this number.was asked the spiel of what I would do with £2000.I stated I was in rented accomodation to which he said "fucking council mate".I replied who is thisand which company is he from.he said "I dunno" and I then hung up.I have blocked this number so it can't ring me.phone your phone company and they can help you.
Someone rang from this number tonight offering 50% off home improvements. I politely said I wasn't interested. At this point caller got abusive and said that 'you aint buying a conservatory cos yer wifes shit in bed'. At this stage I pointed out this might be the case but 'she's still better than your mother' suffice to say they hung up.
Just this morning I had a call from 0845 8638313. Caller: "Am I speaking to the homeowner?" Me: "Yes, why are you asking?" Caller: "We are doing some Market Research and just would like to ask you some simple questions." Me: "OK, but will this call lead to you trying to sell me something or is it genuine Market Research?" Caller: "It's just Market Research" Me: "OK, go ahead" Caller: "If you were given £2000 to spend on Home Improvements, would you put it towards any of the following: New Windows, New Doors, An Extension, A Conservatory..." (she reeled off a list of things and I can't remember exactly what but you get the idea). Me: "I'd probably put it towards having the windows re-painted" (By then I was suspicious and re-painting was not an option she had offered). Caller: "Ok, I'll put you down as Windows Improvements" Me: "Yes, but I would not have them replaced, just re-painted" Caller. "Ok, may I take your surname please?" I gave her my surname, deliberately mis-spelling it by one letter so that if I ever get any further calls trying to sell me new windows they will be traceable to today's call. (It's a trick I can recommend, as long as you make a note of who you gave the mis-spelled name to and change the mis-spelling each time). Caller thanked me for my time and ended the call. It will be interesting to see what happens next.
Rang and said something about houses. My husband challenged him by saying "Are you trying to sell my house" Caller "Oh sorry no problem" and hung up! Googled the number that called and found lots of people had received calls from this number but from different "companies".
Said: Hi I'm Lee from EasyJet and you've just won a holiday to Jamaica - all you have to do is pay for the holiday. He hung-up when I started laughing...
someone called from that number, it showed up on my answer phone, but with no message, and didn't recognise it, so called it back, no answer. i keep on getting these type of calls. Its a nuisance
Received a call this evening, the caller said hello three times I a ridiculous tone and then hang up.
Why are they doing this ? They dont even talk when you answer. Are they making money from getting us to call them back ? I did callback and left it ringing for several minutes because it did not answer. I suspect that they are making money from getting me to call them back.
Just answered a call from this number, I said hello twice then a young girl said hello and straight away hung up.
4pm, a teenage male struggles to read the words on his script. they told him the job will make him loads of money. It's easy, just call people randomly and sell them stuff! You'll be rich and you can buy one of them big watches and a shiny fast car, like the footballers! "Hello. My name's Ben. Sir, what, if we were to give you 100% of the money, would you choose : A conservatory, double glazing, a new attic or a bright pink gazebo to keep your pet flamingos in?" "Thanks, but I live in a reneted house, and I .." Click, phone goes dead. Dumb teenage male dials next number. "Hello, my name's Ben. Sir, what, if we were to give you 100% of the money..." Repeat until home time. Hopefully he'll get a proper job soon.
rang this morning and sais somthing anout money and new home decorating and when i said i wasnt intrest he says thanks and fuck off that so rude
I had a sales call from this number and when I said that I wasn't interested the chap (gave his name as Paul) started swearing down the phone at me. I always am polite to sales calls but truely never expected to be called at home and then verbally assulted this that.
Several calls from this number, at all times of the day/evening, repeated every day (including Sat. & Sun.) over a two-week span. Never left a message on voice-mail.
at 11am i got a call and when i picked up he said hello hello hello 4 times then hung up
called today at 1520, loads of noise in background, I kept saying hello, she responded once by saying hello and then hung up, I called back and no answer.
Called and spoke to my teenage daughter. On finding we were not available asked intrusive questions and then said he was the police and put the phone down. Really frightened my daughter. Called back today and when I questioned his assertion that this was 'not a sales call' was very rude and put the phone down. Avoid this company.
Phoned me up today, seems they're a company that do a home renovations magazine. They will do the work for you and take pictures and charge you 50%, if the pictures feature in their magazine you get it all for free....bit suspicious to me.
Keeps calling every week day, but never say anything, never pick up if you call the number back
Telephoned shortly before 8pm. They kept saying hello. Finally they said something I did not hear, and when I said parden they hung up. I too am ex-directory. Having read the other complaints is there nothing that can be done to stop this?
I have had two calls form this company. How do I stop them or how do I spam them?
This company said they would remove my number I ask several times who they were but it was impossible to understand, We are also members of BT Privacy and ex directory.
They called me about 4:40pm i answered the phone and no answer, normally i would of hang up by now but i listened as i heard a chuckling in the background, then a man said to me " I Love You Sir" then he amediatley hung up, i find this very annoying as have had before but in the past they said nothing, me and my Wife beleive that this is someone checking if you are in or not(Maybe to burgle your house?) i dont know but seems very suspcious to me :S..
I am ex directory and do not wish to receive unsolicted calls. When challenged on how he got my number he hung up. This should be stopped. What can we do to stop this?
As with several of the other people complaining, I was offered £1500 for home improvements. As we are also with the Telephone Preference Service, I asked where they had got my name and number from and was told 'from the database'. I asked where they had got their database information from and was told by the man calling that he didn't know. I asked for an address or phone number to make further enquiries and the man hung up. I will be taking this further with the TPF.
Unsolicited phone call offering £1500 discount on home improvements. I am ex-directory and registered with the Telephone Preference Service. How did they get my name & number?
This company called me tonight at 8pm first thing i did was google the number... evidently they said that they were from weather-seal part of the "my-home group" which has no traces whatsoever or any link to housing in the uk when i contacted weather-seal they said the company had nothing to do with them... if you like me have been told you have won 15000 pounds worth of home improvements. THIS IS CLEARLY ABSOLUTE TROLLOCKS!!
Asking what I would do if I was given £1500 to spend on household renovations such as windows doors etc. Considering I am registered with TPA I take exception to their unsolicited call. When challenged they put the phone down straight away. They have phoned several times when I have been away from home.
These people saying they are from the Meyer Group (I hope I have got the spelling correct) keep calling me saying I've won £1500 worth of windows/doors.guttering. I've told them I'm not interested and asked them to take my number off their list but they just hang up. The last man to call from the Group said his name was Tom. I've tried calling them back to get them to remove my number but there is no answer.
nuisance call at 10.40am
This number has been connected to Weathershield Windows. As Marketing and Sales manager for Weathershield Windows Limited, based in Luton (www.weathershield.uk.com) I can guarantee that this number HAS NOTHING to do with this Company. We constantly receive a stream of telephone calls from angry and annoyed complainants thinking our Company is the offending company. We only supply the trade, not individuals or the domestic market. Please call me on 01582 596469 if I can help.
IN REFERENCE TO "SURREY RESIDENT" I often get calls from such companies but i always hang up before cos it annoys me sometimes i do not even answer. However, this was the only occassion where something offensive was said. I too am from the surrey area??
This number keeps calling me then either laughing or asking for my name in a blatantly silly voice. Alternatively I just get silence or a ringing tone when I pick up, like waiting for someone to answer at the other end. Am surprised to read further down this complaints log the mention of Weatherseal. I previously had problems with this company ringing me sometimes several times a day and I put in a complaint including a request under the Data Protection Act for my records to be deleted. If even half of the earlier comments are true whoever is behind this number, and I repeat I have no evidence other than a comment below, then whoever owns the number should be uncovered and investigated for harassment.
RANG ME ON SATURDAY AN ASKED HOW TO PRONOUNCE THE SURNAME IN A RUDE MANNER. THEN SAID "THATS SOME FUCKED UP PAKI NAME" !!!???? WOT THE HELLL....
Same thing, just got a call, could hear laughter & when I said hello, the line went dead. Just called up Weatherseal & removed my details from their database. They cant say were they got my details!!!!
this number called me at 11.15am on a sunday morning then there was silence when i answered. i dialled 1471 and called the number back and it rang and rang. i am ex-directory and have unknown number call block so this is extremely annoying.
The man said he was from Weathershield of Weatherseal. Informed me I'd won £1,000 to spend on home improvements. When I told him I wasn't interested, he just hung up. No goodbye or anything.
Asked for homeowner, then hung up when I asked where they were calling from.
Received a silent call from this number at approx. 10.40am this morning. I said "hello" a few times, then hung up. Very annoying as i'm ex-directory and signed up to the call prevention scheme.
Weathersheild UK Telesale
I believe this number is connected with Weatherseal a window/home improvement company also available on 0800 041 041 & 0870 220 9320 . Had several calls from them pain in the arse.
This number rang me at 10:50 on Saturday morning. When I answered they just hung up. I called the number back but it just rang and rang. I am ex directory so this really annoys me - cant something be done about it?
My wife answered the call and was informed the home owner had won 15k worth of home improvements. She started to explain she wasn't interested and the other party hung up when she was in mid sentence. How rude of them. Can't someone shut them down.
I keep getting silent calls from thie above number. When I answer, the other person hangs up. This happens up to 6 times a day. Please help!!
