It is Elite Competitions looking for subscriptions. I am signed up to their website so they have my details, although I had opted out from marketing. I emailed them and asked them to stop calling unless I win something. Emailed back within 2 hours confirming my number has been removed.

Calling day after day but not letting phone ring long enough to answer
I didn't answer
Numerous calls no messages left
Rang on two consecutive days, but hung up after two rings, so I don't know who it is nor why they're calling me. No voicemail, so it can't be anything urgent...
2 days in a row , number came up
