Since December 2024, I’ve gotten 11 calls like this from different numbers, all pretty much saying the same thing and asking to speak to my husband by name. Thing is, he’s been gone for over three and a half years now.

Total scam, watch out!

Got a call from some energy firm, but they kept switching up the last few digits before hanging up. Definitely felt like a dodgy AI scam to me.

Got a call from this number a couple of times now. Sounds like it might be the DWP trying to sneak information out of people.

They ring up all the time claiming to be from some energy firm, but never mention which one. They just say “Hi, is this [your last name]?” and then nothing else. Really odd.
