Claimed that my vehicle had some sort of contraption fitted and demanded a staggering £15,000 from me. Honestly, these people ought to face some serious consequences!

Extremely impolite, clearly trying to pry for information.

Received a call purporting to be from the DVLA concerning diesel emissions. They seemed to know the vehicle owner's name and registration details, yet they had muddled up the mobile number belonging to a relative. When I probed further about their intentions and how they obtained the number, they abruptly ended the call. Quite dodgy, considering that only a handful of people have access to that particular contact details for the individual in question.

A couple of days back, I received a call from someone claiming to be affiliated with the DVLA. They had so much of my personal information - my name, address, and even my car registration number. I ended the conversation straight away and proceeded to block that number. Yet, it seems they’re relentless, as I've been inundated with calls from various other numbers since then.

London here. Received a call earlier today, yet they didn’t bother to leave a message on my voicemail. Not interested in returning the call.

What a load of nonsense! The telemarketer had such an inflated sense of their own importance. It was quite amusing, really, how they failed to realise that it was them being discourteous and invading someone else's space.

It's quite baffling how they managed to have specifics regarding a vehicle I sold back in July 2015. They seemed to be aware that it ran on petrol and even inquired if I had ever owned a diesel variant. I acquired the car from Mercedes Benz in Preston and later sold it to a Mazda dealership in Bolton. Has anyone here had experiences with either of these car dealers?

I received a rather peculiar call regarding emissions and their cooperation with the DVLA. They had my name and even details about a vehicle that I sold off seven years back! I decided to cut the conversation short and promptly blocked the number. Quite dodgy if you ask me.

Just another classic case of a diesel emissions con. I've had to block this caller!

They seemed to know my name and my vehicle's registration number, which was alarming enough. They even claimed they could secure compensation for my diesel car purchase, but the registration they cited belongs to a petrol model! I ended the call and promptly blocked their number. It’s baffling how these scammers manage to keep running their schemes!

I got a phone call earlier today from someone who said they were associated with the DVLA. However, as soon as I began to probe them with a few questions, they abruptly ended the call. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!

My mobile provider has a nifty feature that notifies me about calls that could be dodgy, fraudulent, or otherwise from tricksters. Honestly, if it were permissible, I’d be more than keen to give these blighters a right good thwack! They’re the worst sort of vermin, aren’t they?

Got a call from someone claiming Mercedes installed some part in my diesel that wrecked my fuel mileage and that I should get back tens of thousands of pounds. Thing is, I drive a petrol car and have never even owned a Merc! Total scam, no doubt about it.

People keep ringing me but don’t say anything and then just drop the call. So annoying!

Got a call about my diesel vehicle even though mine runs on petrol, which is weird enough, but the strange thing was they actually had my car registration details? Didn't make much sense to me!

Really annoying call!

I keep getting calls from this number and whenever I pick up, they just drop the line straight away. It’s really annoying.
