Allegedly calling about getting the property surveyed for mould or dampness! I asked how they got my number, as it's TPS Registered and ex-directory but they kept talking! I hung up!!!!!

User reported 01677 290 338 as Harassing

Didn't answer the call (landline) but googled the number afterwards & saw the comments. Blocked the number. We are registered with tbe telephone preference service.

Called on my house phone, where they got that number from is a mystery as there are very few people who know it? The woman caller said her name was Jackie, and she wanted to know if we had any damp or mould issues, realising it was a marketing call, I hung up before answering her. I didn't think cold calling was allowed these days?

Constantly rings but probably a dialler trying to get /sell you something because it never leaves a message , but tries the phone number 6 or seven times a day . If you pick up the phone on about the tenth ring they have usually managed to get hold of another unsuspecting person .

Asked a load of questions without waiting for the answer, so definitely a recorded message. Are you the homeowner? No. Are you roughly between 55 and 82? Very roughly... How many bedrooms have you got? Why is that relevant? The call is about a free survey to detect unspecified issues, such as damp from improperly-installed cavity wall insulation. I have a beautifully-insulate loft and solid walls. I got bored and hung up on her.

The oddest call. An older woman, who sounded like someone I know, leapt straight without even saying hello. "I just wanted to check, I'll be really quick, have you noticed any dampness there. Are you the homeowner?" "Sorry, who am I talking to?" She rang off.
