Someone asked if you or your husband were available before abruptly hanging up, a pattern repeated by callers claiming to be from Virgo Home Improvements. These unsolicited contacts usually pitch fascia, guttering or roof work, often with vague quotes or vouchers. Register your number on the TPS and confirm it remains active, then add the offending code to your phone’s block list. Report persistent offenders to the ICO and, where possible, to the Trading Standards office that dealt with the 2016 fine. Never share personal details or confirm any address until you verify the caller’s identity. Staying silent and hanging up are the safest immediate responses.
They disconnected when I answered. I'm registered with TPS, yet I received this call from 01134199836. Definitely a nuisance.
A man inquired for me when my child picked up, chuckled upon being questioned, and then disconnected.
A man named David called, claiming to be a roofer selling something. He mentioned work on my apartment block, but when he asked about my front and back doors, I knew it was a scam since I don’t have PVC doors.
An Asian-sounding man called, asking for my husband by name. He mentioned a recent quote for roof repairs, which wasn't true. He said someone would call tomorrow and said, "we had better be in." I took over the call, stated we weren't interested, and told him not to call me "love" disrespectfully. I warned him that if anyone calls tomorrow, they'll deal with the Police. I ended the call.
This company of cold callers has been harassing my elderly parents by calling and staying silent. If you have free calls, fight back by calling them and saying nothing. It’s satisfying, though it likely won’t change their behavior.
Annoying call.
Recieved a call today claiming a letter was sent to M22. When I mentioned I don’t reside there, they abruptly ended the call.
Upon answering, they disconnected. Now the number is blocked by me. Idiots!
Called today, asked for me by name, said they were following up on a letter they sent me last week, and mentioned everyone else in DN6, which explains why I didn't get one since I don't live there. I'm on TPS, so I don't know why these calls keep coming.
Not a valid Leeds number. Seems fake, probably from someone trying to sell home improvements.
Laughing during the call, the individual requested a made-up name. So irritating!
My husband received a call from this number regarding facia boards, despite us not having contacted them, and the caller was pushy, leaving us feeling intimidated
Unfamiliar with 01134199836, I ignored the call initially. Later, I dialed back using the 141 prefix to identify the caller. Surprisingly, the person who answered knew my name, suggesting they had access to my number. It felt like a call center, so I recommend steering clear.
