Weird call - my mum answered with a hello, then the person just said goodbye and hung up. The phone only rang a couple of times. Told her to avoid answering calls from numbers she doesn’t know.

Got a call from a +44 number while I was at a funeral, didn’t bother to answer and they left no voicemail either. Pretty sure it was just another scam, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number!

I received a call from a bloke with a recorded message claiming that my insulation was outdated and required replacement. Just as I was about to respond, the call dropped abruptly. Having recently had my insulation upgraded, I was well aware that this was a dodgy call.

Got a call from some energy company trying to scam me, blocked the number straight away.

My voicemail’s full - can’t leave any messages, gotta be those pesky scammers again! Stay clear of them!

Received a call from this number earlier today. I didn’t recognise it, so I let it go to voicemail. It’s probably yet another spam call, as mentioned previously. I’ll be blocking it for sure.

I received a call from a random number that I didn’t recognise, and it was completely out of the blue. I've decided to block the number now.

Got a call from an unknown number at 11:20 this morning. They didn’t leave any message so I looked it up and found out it was a scam. Blocked it straight away.

I received a call from someone claiming to be an energy provider local to my region, but I couldn't quite tell if I was speaking to a real person or just listening to a pre-recorded message. Oddly enough, the number was traced back to Leicester, which is nowhere near where I live. Quite the puzzler!

Got a call from someone pretending to be from the energy company. The voice sounded weird, like it was generated by AI, trying to trick me into thinking it was a real person. Definitely a scam.

So this number rang me earlier today, claiming to be from some local energy company. Honestly, how many so-called energy reps are out there pretending they’re from your neighbourhood? Not once have I believed any of them are genuine. If I ever needed energy advice, I’d go hunt for it myself, not get hit up by some random caller who’s probably just trying to scam me. I told the bloke I’m registered with the TPS and hung up straight away.

This number rang me earlier, and it didn’t show up as a scam when I checked. I couldn’t get to answer it, so I called back only to have the call drop on me two times. That’s when I decided to look it up and turns out, yep, it’s definitely a scam.

My landline, which hardly ever gets any rings since I mainly use my mobile, buzzed with a call from this number. Almost ignored it but picked up. A guy called Luke said he was a carer and mentioned something about energy. I told him I wasn’t interested, and the connection was terrible anyway so ended the call. Figured if it was legit, he’d dial back straight away.

Got a call early Saturday around 8:45am, didn’t pick up since the number was unfamiliar. I’m based in Leicester, so figured if it was something urgent they’d drop a voicemail. Didn’t get any message at all. Had a look on here and decided to block the number now.
