Try throwing them off by saying your birthday is on the 31st of February!

Inquiries about diesel vehicles and the like strike me as rather dubious, perhaps even a bit shady.

They claimed to be from the admissions help desk and asked me to verify some details. When they tried to check my birth gate, they said they couldn’t proceed without it and were going to transfer me to a so-called control officer. I didn’t give them my date of birth, so I wasn’t passed on. Now, I’m pretty sure this is a scam after looking up the number. My missus suggested I tell them to send any requests in writing instead. I reckon she’s spot on!

Got a call from 01226988950, where someone said they were from the Emission Advice Team. They claimed to be linked with the DVLA and said they were helping folks check if they had any valid claims related to diesel emissions. I'm pretty sure they're a scam trying to get your details so they can either flog them or commit fraud, like stealing your identity or something. Definitely not to be trusted.

Got a call from someone claiming to be from Action Admissions linked to DVLA. They even knew I had a diesel VW! Told me DVLA had given them my unlisted number. Definitely reported it to Action Fraud.

Somebody rang me claiming they worked for a claims firm because apparently Mercedes put a dodgy part on some vans, and we might be due quite a large compensation. They even knew the registration, make, and model of the van. I told them the van belongs to my brother and asked how they’d got the details. They said it was from the DVLA, saying it’s a shared database or something. I told them to remove our numbers from their records and that I’d check into it myself. They were reasonably polite about the whole thing.

01226 988950 I told the lady to take my number off their list and she just snapped back with "and what if I refuse?" Bit rude tbh. I've already alerted South Yorkshire Police about this.

I encountered a woman of Asian descent who struggled with her English while passionately discussing vehicle emissions. In a moment of frustration, I advised her to take a hike.

I received a peculiar phone call where the individual was discussing my supposed diesel car and claiming they could assist me in reclaiming some money. They even went into detail about car ownership. It's quite baffling, really, as I don’t own a diesel vehicle at all!

Got a call asking for my car's details like the owner’s name and number, apparently about a diesel vehicle. They wanted to help me get some money back. I told them I wasn’t interested and to stop calling.

This number kept ringing me, not just today but yesterday afternoon as well. It’s supposedly from Barnsley, but I don’t know anyone there or have any ties to the place. I’ve gone ahead and blocked it now!

I received an unnecessarily abrupt phone call from a rather impolite lady who was keen to find out if I had ever owned a vehicle with the registration XXXXXXXX. When I probed her about what exactly she wanted, she demanded that I share details with her-a request I flatly declined. She then claimed it was vital for me to discuss my diesel vehicle, alluding to some emissions-related information she purportedly needed to relay to me. I asked her directly what she was intending to convey, but instead, she simply asked for my registration number. At that juncture, my patience wore thin, and I told her quite firmly that it seemed she had nothing of substance to share and requested her not to call me again.
