Didn’t get any voicemail from these lot, pretty sure it’s just another dodgy scam attempt.

I received a call from this number, but there was nobody on the other end when I picked up. I waited on the line for a bit, but then the call mysteriously disconnected. It seems like it might have been one of those automated calls, with no actual person to talk to. I’m guessing it could be some sort of scam.

They called about a free medical gadget supposedly being sent out. I told them I wasn’t expecting anything and refused to accept the delivery.

When I tried to find out who was on the other end, the bloke just told me to "figure it out yourself" instead of giving me a straight answer. I found that a bit odd.

*** FRAUD ALERT *** definitely flagged with ICO and TPS authorities.

I picked up the phone but no one left a message. Sounds to me like just another sales call or possibly a scam trying to get through.

I heard a pause, some faint noise in the background, and then the line just went dead.

My phone rang just after 8 this morning, but as soon as I answered they just dropped the call. I tried calling the number back and got a recorded voice saying it was from some Home Improvement Services. The number showed up as being from Abingdon, but I’ve never heard of anyone from that place before.

A bloke calling himself "William" - or maybe Dillip or Rakesh, not quite sure - rang me up from "Medical Health Supplies" about some alarm alert. These scam calls from Indian call centres seem to have really increased since BT shifted their support over there a few years ago. I reckon some of the workers, earning peanuts, might be selling people's details to crooks just to make a bit of extra cash.

I picked up the phone but there wasn't any message left, so I figured it wasn't anything urgent. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now!

My phone rang a couple of times and when I picked up, I barely got through two words before the person on the other end just cut off the call. Definitely a scam, no doubt about it.

Got a call offering cover for household appliances cheaper than what I supposedly paid the previous year. Thing is, I don’t remember ever paying them before. They kept pushing me for my bank details, which I never gave. Definitely feels like a scam.

I received a rather baffling call from someone claiming that my premiums for household appliance insurance were being slashed. Quite frankly, this struck me as odd since I don't possess any such insurance for my appliances at all. I decided to handle it gracefully, letting her know it seemed like a scam, at which point she quickly ended the call.

Received a dodgy call from someone in a call centre attempting to swindle me out of my banking details, claiming to provide insurance for household gadgets. Total scam!

Got a call about some home appliance insurance and they promised to send an expert round in three days. Total scam, pretty clear from the start.

Got a call from someone named Jane on 01235612979, she never said which company she was with. She told me our home appliances payments were going down now. I asked her which appliances she meant, and she said washing machines and stuff like that. But when I pressed her for more details about the call, she just ended the call straight away.

Got a call from 01235612979 but they just dropped the line straight away. Pretty sure it’s one of those scams. I bet they want you to call back so they can charge you. Sounds like a sneaky way they earn cash to me.

Got a call from someone who sounded like they were from abroad asking if I was Mrs [surname], but I’m a bloke and my name’s actually [name], said it carefully. As soon as I corrected them, they just cut the call off straight away. Feels like a dodgy scam to me.

Got a random call today about some domestic appliance cover I never asked for. Quite annoying how these calls just come out of the blue. Wish they'd stop with the unsolicited offers.

I asked who was calling and the person just snapped at me to be quiet and hang up - sounded like someone struggling with their English.

Honestly, checking these kinds of numbers is usually pointless since they hardly show up anywhere. But, I guess the comments section gives you a clue about what’s going on with them.

I keep getting these calls all the time and every time I pick up no one is there. I’m so over it, these calls come from those Eastern folks and something should be done about it. I was under the impression they were all here already anyway!
