Got a call earlier today from a friendly sounding woman offering a free loft insulation inspection or update. I’m usually a bit wary of unsolicited calls like that, so I just said no thanks and ended the call.

They rang me yesterday from one number, I didn’t pick up and they left no voicemail. Then today, they called again but the number was almost the same, just the last digit changed. When I answered, there was a lot of background noise and it took forever for someone to speak. They started asking about my vaccinations so I just ended the call.

Got a call asking if I was experiencing any side effects after my covid vaccine, then they started talking about life insurance. It felt off to me, didn’t appreciate that kind of pestering, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number.

I got a call from some bloke claiming my debts were the reason for the call, and he even used my first name right off the bat. I decided to mess about and told him, "Wow, thanks! I've been stressing loads about all the debt I apparently have." Can you believe, he just ended the call straight away! I've blocked the number now.

Got a call from 01242800252, some bloke with a foreign accent claiming he worked for Public Health. He was all about asking my vaccination details and whether I'd had any reactions. Also wanted to know who covered me for insurance. He said it wasn't a sales call and that the government might help with costs if I caught Covid, on top of what my insurer covered. I told him it sounded like a load of rubbish and said I thought he was trying to scam me before ending the call.

Got a call from 01242 800252 claiming to be from the NHS. They asked if I was experiencing any side effects, so I mentioned a rash on my foot. Then they started asking about my life insurance, I told them I was covered by Mouse Mickey Insurance or something silly like that. Finished off by giving them a fake postcode just for the laughs. Honestly, I quite enjoy messing with these callers.

One bloke who keeps ringing says he’s from some Covid helpdesk or something. He sounds like he’s Asian, always a guy. Whenever I ask exactly who he is or why he’s calling - especially since I’ve never caught Covid or signed up with the NHS app - he just ends the call right away. It’s proper dodgy, if you ask me.

Is it possible to report scam calls on this site? Got a call from 01242 800252 around 6:55pm on Monday 6th June 2022. They wanted to talk to me. When I asked them "Who’s this? Where exactly are you calling from (pretty sure not Cheltenham) and what’s this about?" they just ended the call.
