The majority of users have reported receiving repeated calls, often with the caller hanging up upon answering, which suggests an automated dialling system. Some users have also mentioned being TPS registered, yet still receiving these calls, indicating a potential breach of data protection regulations. Users are advised to exercise caution when receiving calls from unknown numbers, and to consider reporting such incidents to the relevant authorities, such as the ICO, to prevent further harassment. It is essential to be vigilant and not engage with these callers, as they may be attempting to obtain personal or financial information through deceptive means.
