3 yearsLike others have mentioned, this ring was about repairs for council or housing association tenants renting their place. Once I explained I own my house outright, the lady just said thanks and ended the call. Honestly, it might have been genuine, but I'm not sure. If they were just trying to collect info, I think she would've kept chatting.3 yearsGot a call from some dodgy lot claiming to fix housing repairs, but it was a total scam. Watch out, definitely not legit!3 yearsGot a call I didn’t answer, felt like one of those dodgy scam calls.3 yearsHad no clue the person they were trying to reach had actually passed away.3 yearsGot a call I didn't answer, looked up the number and decided to block it straight away.3 yearsGot a call from some guy trying to check if I was on the council's housing list and asking for my name.
