Constant calling,early morning and weekend ,don't answer . Interestingly also had newspapers for a short time from this company, appalling customer service so cancelled

User reported 0161 240 0017 as Harassing

Numerous calls, 5 rings or so then stops. When I have answered, no one there. Interesting to read comments - I cancelled my newspapers delivery few months back due to very poor service.

I ordered newspapers for my cousin from Newsteam ( in Stoke on Trent?)They delivered only a fraction of those paid for so contract cancelled. They later asked if we would resume deliveries but alternative arrangements had been put in place so we declined. Now receiving calls from this Manchester number. They ring off before call answered and now aware of who they are I will not answer and block.

Calls daily over last few weeks. I have blocked but call still see on call history when they have called since. My father had newspapers delivered before he passed away and I dealt with payments which is how they have my number. I would hate to think an elderly person would be harrassed by the continual calls. When I originally answered nobody spoke on other end of line, music playing, as if I was held in a queue so I hung up each time

Continuous calling.

9 calls from this number to my mobile over last few months. So irritating. Usually about 5 rings then stops. I don't answer. Always report to Vodafone. Nothing seems to stop whoever they are. Would help if the perpetrators were fined and banished.

Calls several times a week - read other comments and also used to be a Newsteam customer so it must track to them. Have now blocked as they call so often.

Called daily for a few days ( I have not answered ) after reading comments on here, I used to have newspapers deliveries from a company called news team group, it may be this company or like a comment said 3rd party calls which this company has passed details on, I have blocked future calls

A third party linked to newspaper delivery apparently passed on contact details without consent. This resulted in unwanted calls to an elderly relative and felt inappropriate.

Called at 8.30am on a Monday morning

User reported 0161 240 0017 as Harassing

Called very early on a Sunday and again early Monday. Hard to understand the woman but she mentioned something about newspapers. Didn't make sense. Blocked after that.
