I got a call about a job as a support worker, but I'm not on the lookout for a new job and I definitely don’t live near Cheltenham. Left a message too, which felt a bit odd.

So, I got a few calls today from someone claiming to be with Three Mobile, trying to flog me an iPhone for way too good a deal. They even said I could keep my existing number and network - bit fishy if you ask me. Honestly, felt like one of those HMRC scams or something. They rang me three times all within an hour. Proper dodgy if you ask me!

This looks like a dodgy number to me. It’s a local dialling code, yet the call quality suggests it’s coming from abroad. Best to steer clear of this one.

There was this guy with a really strong Indian accent trying to pitch some kind of phone plan or deal, but I couldn’t quite make out the details. I kept telling him I was on the Telephone Preference Service “do not call” list and asked if he’d checked it, but he kept dodging it. After a bit of back and forth, he ended up saying sorry and then just hung up on me.

I got a call from this number a while back and it was some telemarketer wanting to sell me stuff, I told them I wasn’t interested. Then after a couple of days, the calls started again but nobody said a word, the call just disconnected after a few seconds. Pretty strange really.

So this annoying number rang me like six times straight and every single time they just hung up. Finally, when I picked up, the person on the other end, an Indian lady, had the nerve to tell me to F--k my mum. Proper rude!

So I got a call the other day, and even tho I’m a woman, the guy goes, “Hello Sir, we’re calling about your mobile-” and I just cut him off with a quick “No.” and hung up straight away. Sounded like another pushy callcentre trying to sell me stuff I don’t want.

My husband had a ring from this number about ten minutes before I did. Obviously one of those well-known HMRC scams. I didn’t pick up, but I've told them off so many times trying to scare them with arrest threats - it's pretty funny to me. Still, I bet some folks get tricked by it.

They called me claiming my social security number was involved in some fraud and told me to ring them back or I'd get arrested. The weird part is, they acted like I hadn’t even picked up the phone. It’s really frightening how these scammers try to trick folks with stuff like this.

Kept getting calls over and over with them calling me "mate" or "love". You could hear loads of people chatting in the background like some call centre, but every call was different like they were just winging it. I never actually got told what the purpose of the calls was. Told them three times to take me off their list but no luck.
