Calls keep ringing up to four times a day, often with background noise before anyone answers, and most of them end up selling insurance. The pattern points to an aggressive telemarketing operation, frequently switching digits to dodge blockers and leaving silent rings or brief beeps. If you’re not interested, let the call go to voicemail and then block the number; most smartphones let you add it to a call blocker list. Register the number with the Telephone Preference Service to reduce future unsolicited contacts. Never hand over personal or banking details on an unexpected call, and request a written quote before considering any policy. Keeping a record of call times can also help when reporting persistent harassment.
A message was left by this number asking, 'Who pays you to speak to me?' It was quite bizarre.
Despite being unfamiliar with Octopus Insurance, I engaged with the caller, who claimed to represent the company and expressed interest in emailing me near my renewal date.
Persistent calls originating from Manchester, with slight number alterations to bypass my blocker. Topics vary, often insurance-related. Theresa May should address this nuisance to restore any dwindling faith.
Unicom contacted me to inform me about their insurance services, which i wasnt interested in, hopefully they wont call again
Calls from 161 numbers are incessant, and since they never leave messages, I have taken to blocking them.
A call was made today, but the caller hung up just as the phone was about to be answered, and there was no inclination to return the call.
The caller asked for the managing director using his first name, which was incredibly frustrating!
