I got a call from this lady who was all over the place, saying she could 'enhance' my Life Insurance or something? She asked for my mum's maiden name which seemed a bit off. I told her I’d ring back later when I had time, but then she just cut me off. Bit annoying, really. 🙁

Got a call from a polite Asian lady who said she was with the Postcode Lottery. She asked for my hubby but when I said he wasn’t around, she still called me “Mr.” Said we’d won a discount card that gives like 40-50% off at supermarkets. Then she started wanting my date of birth and stuff - I told her I never share personal info on the phone and just ended the call.

Got a call from a guy with an Asian accent saying my postcode had won some kind of discount card that could save me like 40 to 50% in places like Tesco. When I asked who was behind it, he wasn’t too clear, just kept going on about a postcode lottery. I told him it sounded dodgy and didn't buy it, so he ended up hanging up on me.

Got a call asking if I had a mortgage. I asked him where he got my details from and he just said it was in some database. When I kept questioning about how it ended up there and brought up GDPR rules, he just cut the call. Honestly, it’s so frustrating that we can’t put an end to these persistent calls!

As soon as I picked up, the call just ended - obviously one of those annoying scam or spam numbers, so I've added it to my block list straight away.

Got a call from a bloke with a really proper English accent claiming he was Josh from Legal & General Life Insurance. He wanted to discuss my current policy details. I said alright but asked for my policy number first, since I don’t actually have life insurance with them. He replied “one moment please” and then just cut off. Sounded really smooth and sure of himself - definitely more convincing than most scam calls I get.

Got a call from some Indian ladies saying they wanted to send me £300 and give me a discount card for up to half off at places like Tesco and Asda. They asked for my bank info, but I just played along to waste their time and never handed over anything personal. Total scam, don’t fall for it!

I got a call from someone with an Indian accent who said his name was William. He didn’t mention what company he was working for right away, and when I asked, his reply was really hard to understand because of his thick accent and choppy English. He said something about needing to ask me some questions, but it wasn’t clear. I just ended the call.

Got a call from 0113 8245402 this morning, 5th October at about 9.33. Turned out to be some dodgy banking scam, so I just ended the call straight away. Honestly, don’t pick up if this number rings you - it’s likely trouble and could cause serious problems.

Picked up the phone but all I got was silence and then it just cut off. Pretty sure it was one of those dodgy scam calls. They only cause trouble if you let them on your PC or start handing over your bank info or anything private. Better to just hang up and ignore them altogether.

This number keeps ringing me, and every time I answer after a bit, they’re chatty about some "accident" I supposedly had - which I definitely didn’t! They never seem to know who they’re really trying to reach, and there’s always that weird moment of silence right at the beginning.
5 years
Total con artist. What an absolute nuisance!
5 years
My husband answered the phone and a woman with an Indian or Pakistani accent excitedly told him we’d won the postcode lottery. Right away, he saw it was a scam and told her to buzz off. This con has been going around a lot - it’s just a trick to steal your bank info. So watch out and never give out your personal details to callers like this!

Definitely a scammer!

The bloke on the phone had such a thick Indian accent, it was almost impossible to catch what he was on about.

Had a call from a lady with a sort of foreign accent, but I couldn't make out much of what she was saying. Something about a discount card, I think. I asked if she needed my bank info for it, and she said no way she'd ask for that before suddenly ending the call. The connection was rubbish as well, kept cutting in and out.

I got a ring from 01138245402 and they asked me for my name and postcode to 'confirm' it. Then they said I've won a plane ticket to some place, but I couldn’t catch where exactly. When I asked them to say the name of the destination again, the call just dropped. Suspicious if you ask me.

I got a call from some lifestyle and travel company offering a free discount card that promised savings on groceries and a free holiday for four. They told me I had to give my full name, email, sort code and bank account number so they could put £1 on the card to activate it. I refused and they went on about some direct debit guarantee to convince me it was safe. They also asked for the names of up to four family members as part of booking the holiday. When I told them to send the info through the post so I could think it over properly, they quickly lost interest.

Beware of people telling you that you’ve won something and then asking for your bank info. It’s really risky and most likely a scam.

After a bit, I got put through to some recorded message, sounded maybe American, saying their lines were busy and I’d have to wait. After waiting around 40 seconds I gave up and hung up. Definitely seems like a scam or something dodgy.

Some bloke from overseas rang my other half saying he’d won some sort of postcode lottery, which he doesn’t even take part in. Then he goes on about needing to put in a £1 deposit from his bank to make it legit and asked for bank details! Clearly a scam, so my partner just hung up. They had the cheek to ring back again after that!

Total scam attempt.

this number called me but i missed it, usually i ignore calls from unknown numbers but sometimes i take a chance if i fear its urgent. unfortunatly loads of people don’t have caller id or they just answer every call because they’re scared of missing summat important. its really sad that some folks do this kinda thing to others, i honestly dont get how they sleep at night trying to nick personal info and maybe cash as well.
