I was wondering if I would still have the opportunity to maintain my life insurance payments during the Covid period. Just to clarify, I don't actually have any life insurance policies in place.

Got a call from some bloke called Gary, sounded like he had a funny accent or summat, going on about life insurance or something like that... seemed like a right dodgy scam to me.

This number keeps ringing me up asking for someone who’s not me. When I say I’m not who they’re after, they just cut me off without a word. Had about three calls in one day from them, told the bloke it was really annoying and they had the wrong person, then he just hung up on me. Called back instantly and they just dropped the call again. Proper frustrating.

Got a call from someone with an Indian accent pretending to be from the UK's benefits office. They said I wasn’t claiming enough benefits and mentioned some document. I told them I wasn’t interested, then they just hung up on me.

Got a ring from someone called 'Dave' claiming to be from the 'UK Benefits Agency' just now. I usually muck about with these types to waste their time and keep them from pulling scams on others. They asked me about some life insurance, but ended up dropping the call sharpish after I told them I lived at 123 Zanzibar Terrace, Coventry and worked for Fokkenschtaff Ltd - they clearly didn’t believe me. Before hanging up, the guy shouted something like 'daft bugger' at me. Fair play to him!

So I got this call from a bloke with an Asian accent, chatting about some life insurance offer. I played him for a fool like the others here, bombarding him with loads of questions. He got annoyed and just cut the call off. Honestly, I was having a laugh messing with him. The only bit that bugs me is that, like with other calls, he already had my name and number. Please, don’t give these muppets any extra info about yourself - just have a bit of fun with ’em!

Got a call about life insurance and just went with it. The bloke got all cheeky, calling me a road sweeper. I told him I'd rather be that than some annoying little git like him. Fair play to him though.

I got a call from some bloke claiming to be from the UK Benefits Department, which I don't think even exists. When I mentioned that his accent sounded Indian, he got proper narky. Maybe he was actually Pakistani or something?

Had another annoying call today (20th October), this time from a bloke who sounded Asian and said he was ringing from some UK Benefits Department or something. Ended the call and blocked the number, but honestly I doubt it'll stop them. They'll just ring again from some other number soon enough.

Got a call earlier and they already knew my name, which was a bit creepy. I told them that person’s not with us anymore. Just signed up my number with the TPS list so hopefully this stops. If you wanna do the same, just send TPS to 85095. Cheers, Marv.

Got a call from this number around 11:44 on 19th October 2021. The person on the line said she was from Sky TV and claimed I’d been overcharged by £250. She even used my full name, which was a bit strange. I just told her thanks but said they should refund the money where they’ve been taking it from for the past 22 years. Cheers for having this site to check numbers like this!

Got a call from a guy with an Asian accent claiming to be from the UK Benefits Department. He kept saying I hadn’t got any benefits and asked about when I last checked my Covid 19 policy. Told him straight to take my number off their list, but I doubt that’ll happen. Feels like they’re either scammers or just pushing some sort of sales pitch.

Got a call from a bloke with an Asian accent claiming to be from the “UK Benefits Department” - which isn’t real, it’s actually the Department for Work and Pensions. He kept saying I was in massive debt and wanted to offer help. I really hate picking up these calls, but it’s my work phone so I can’t just ignore them.

Got a call from some foreign guy this morning, said his name was Nareen or something. He had all my info which freaked me out, and when I asked how he knew it or why he was asking, he rudely told me to "shut up". Pretty sure it was a scam, trying to get my bank details or personal stuff.

About ten minutes back, I got a call from this number. The person on the other end said my full name and claimed to be from some benefit office in the UK. He then wanted me to verify if I was the person he named before he would tell me anything. I asked what he wanted but he just refused to say anything unless I confirmed my identity first. I ended up hanging up straight away.

Looks like they ring to see if someone picks up, then either start bombarding with spam or sell your number as ‘active’ to other scammy callers. Just ignore and block them! Absolute spam!

At first, they claimed to be from UK Benefits, but then suddenly started asking about my life insurance info. Be careful and don’t hand over any personal details. Oddly enough, they knew my maiden name, which I changed over a decade ago. The caller was from abroad and his accent was really hard to follow.

Somebody called saying they were from "UK Benefits" or something like that, not exactly sure what that is. They knew both my first and last name and said I had given them my phone number. When I asked a few questions, the person got all defensive and then quite rude. I’ve blocked the number and reported it now.

Got a call from someone saying they were with 'financial advice' and wanted to sort out my debts or something. They said they’d been checking my debt records or whatever. When I asked why I’d even think about sharing personal stuff with some stranger who just rang me up, they actually stopped and just went ahead with a “YES!!”. Proper odd!

Just like others here, i got a call from someone claiming to be from the UK benefits office. I asked, "Benefits office for who exactly?" and he claimed to be from the company handling my life insurance. He said I wasn't getting the full advantage of my existing policy, so that’s why he was ringing. I told him plain and simple I don’t even have any Life Insurance. Then he cheekily told me to ring him if I ever needed help or advice about Life Insurance. What a cheeky bloke!
