Its shocking how some people in the UK are scamming others right here at home. I spoke to a woman with a proper British accent, trying to con me. The greed these terrible folks show for money is just awful and can't be tolerated.

Got another dodgy call today from a new number. Seems like they’re ringing me a couple of times, maybe three times daily now. Proper annoying. Just gotta keep on blocking them I guess.

Around eleven in the morning, I received a rather peculiar call from this individual. They mentioned my name a couple of times and queried if it was indeed me speaking. After that, they wished me a lovely day, repeated my name once more, and hung up rather abruptly. Naturally, I decided to block the number immediately after.

It felt like a scam, they got my name wrong and kept saying the call would be important for me. I just blocked the number.

I couldn't make out who was calling. The lady said her name was Susan. Since I didn’t know the number at all, I just blocked it thinking it might be a scam.

Got a missed call earlier, and the voicd message was just a bloke saying ‘Hello’, no name or any info about who it might be. No point in calling back, so I just blocked the number.

I never pick up for numbers I don't know, so I just looked it up here and saw the comments. Got a call from a number kinda like this one, only the last three digits changed, and it was another scam too.

Them: "Hi, this is Sam from Windows and Doors Insulation. Are you the person in charge of the house?" Me: "Why are you assuming I'm the homeowner? You haven't even found out who I am yet. Who exactly are you trying to reach?" Them: "Alright, no problem. Have a great day." and then they ended the call. It was a young bloke with a local English accent, clearly just following a script - and it wasn't even a convincing one!

The phone rang but the caller just hung up straight away. My voicemail message says, "Because of pesky telemarketers, I don’t pick up this phone myself anymore." Sorted! They really shouldn’t be calling me at all, I’m on the TPS!

The person on the phone was clearly sticking to a script and got a bit muddled when I asked who they were and what the call was about. They went on to talk about some sort of campaign for solar heating, but I just thanked them and said no thanks.

I got a call from this bloke named Alex, said he was from Smart Advice about some government scheme or something. But it was just a recorded message, not a proper person. He kept going on like I was replying, leaving pauses and all, even though I wasn’t saying a word. Didn’t answer a single thing I asked. Then he said he’d connect me to their team, so I just ended the call.

I got a call from someone called John, trying to push a Medic alert on me. I’m on the TPS list, so I was pretty narked. Every time I asked who’d passed my number to him, he just rambled on and didn’t give a straight answer. Eventually, he gave up trying to dodge the question.

So I got a call from someone called John about Medicare, but it was just a recorded message. A lot of folks have mentioned that John doesn’t actually respond or listen - it’s not a real person on the line, just a voice recording they have on repeat. Definitely feels like a scam to me.

I received an unexpected phone call today that I definitely didn't ask for. The gentleman on the line identified himself as John and was adamant about chatting regarding my cover for heating, my boiler, and even washing machine insurance. He was touting what he referred to as a superior deal that was supposedly available to me. Essentially, he was pushing me to switch my home appliance insurance over to him. His determination was quite impressive, to say the least - he wasn't going to take no for an answer easily!

I got a call from someone called John, claiming my heating and boiler cover isn't on the best plan. I told him to leave me alone since he’s phoned me several times already from different numbers. He just ignored me and kept going like I hadn’t said a word. I told him he wasn’t paying attention and ended the call. Now I’ve blocked this number for good. I’m sure he’ll ring again, and next time I’ll just keep him chatting to waste his time so he can’t hassle anyone else.
