Wrong number.

nusience calls had them ringing quite often and hanging up latest trying to sell british gas

Number keeps phoning me and whan i answer they hang up

British Gas. I’m a customer – They keep ringing me and trying to sell me stuff I don’t need. Despite repeated requests not to be called, they keep doing it.

Called tonight asking for a name I did not recognise. Hung up when I said it must be a wrong number. I’m not a customer

There must be quite a lot of people who are frightened by these silent calls; isn’t it a criminal offence to make frightening phone calls? If so, why aren’t BG prosecuted?

Just had a call from British Gas wanting me to extend a Homecare plan they gave me for free last year. Obviously, this year it was going to cost me ‘just’ £2 a month, for an array of cover, and also if my boiler went wrong just £99 to have them repair it………….the woman was babbling on so quickly and constantly repeating herself and in some ways pressurising me, I was totally confused as to what she was actually trying to sell,the cost and what the cover was for so said ‘NO thank you’……she then reverted to the normal scare tactics of me having repair bills of £600 if I didn’t have this cover and ‘what if’ scenarios………..a total waste of my time!!!

pain in the backside. called my mobile asking for my husband, how did they get my number?

I’ve reported this call to TPS – you can do the same:

Many thanks for your complaint regarding the receipt of a “silent call”. Silent calls are generated by companies using power or predictive dialling equipment when making outbound calls. A power/predictive dialler is an automated dialler which can store, access and automatically dial telephone numbers which should match operator availability. However some companies may not have set their dialling rate correctly and this means that individuals are receiving calls, where upon answering there is silence.

Although registration with the Telephone Preference service does not stop the receipt of silent calls we will include your complaint in a regular report sent to the Telecommunications Regulator, Ofcom, to enable them to look at trends in complaints being made and where possible identify those companies who are not complying with the regulations surrounding such calls.

If you continue to receive silent calls, please dial 1471 and try to obtain the number that called; you can report the call by completing a TPS complaint form or online at http://www.tpsonline.org.uk . Alternatively you can seek further help and advice regarding Silent Calls from your line service provider.

I trust that the above information is of help to you.

Yours sincerely,
Arthur Cummings
TPS Team Leader

Called yet again and no one there. I am already with them for gas and electric so what more could they want. Every time I rush in thinking its someone I know just to pick the phone up and it goes dead……well fed up with this.
