No idea what they’re selling or what the scam is but they used my forename as a surname = immediate red flag, so I said goodbye and hung up.

Rang me once, recognised the number from before. Never answered but after looking at these comments I’ll assume it’s best I don’t waste my time answering it.
I have had alot of marketing/scam artist ring me they never remove me from their lists & so I don't pick the phone up and answer them anymore it's just harassment it should be stopped as I found out some years ago that councils give out some of your details without your permission, I don't know if that has been changed over the years? This caller went over to voicemail seems to be what they resort to if you don't answer them. I've blocked them but I know just like all the other callers I've had they will try a new similar number or just pass onto another area to ring up from the same company. I may invest in no phone at all just for some peace.
Company pretending to be Utilita left an automated answer message, not Utilita just a scam company. Blocked number but for some reason still getting calls
after receiving numerous answer machine messages i finally was able to answer the call today. i admit i was a bit sharp and told them "stop calling, im not interested, take my number of the list" have reported them to ICO (information commissioners office)
Constantly calling and leaving voicemail answered and they said they were utilita energy company trying to get me to switch and get a new smart meter Scottish man really pushy not taking no for an answer after me getting angry and firmly telling him no I don’t want to change he cut me off but they are still calling and leaving voicemail messages there should be a law stopping this annoying harassment
They use a block of numbers identified under 124648 so any numbers you see will be on that block of numbers. BT must be making a fortune out of all the cold calling they Utilita are doing. It is most annoying when they are blocked but still seem able to leave a voicemail saying this call is nothing to worry about we will call you again later!
OMG MY NAME IS BRIDGET I GET 2-3 CALLS A DAY!!!! THAT IS SUCH A COINCIDENCE!!! XDDD
Insistent caller, wish they would go away in short jerky movements
I recieve this call from yesterday 2 x and left me a voice msg about utility bills I don’t have idea what they on about till today I also received a call and voicemail didn’t answer.
Blocked this number late last year after requesting they deleted my details, and surprise surprise they have started calling me again 3 times a day for the last week.
Refused to answer
I have exactly the same issue. How are they able to still leave voicemails after you block the number?
Everyday for past few weeks, i receive two to three calls a day. Utility company i think. Have placed in reject calls yet still calls being received. This number is harassment ..
Today alone 7 attempts. Blocked the number months ago stil persists although I only get notified they have tried to call its unbelievable how many times hey attempt. Its daily.
