There’s a company called DIRECT DIGITAL who totally ripped us off for more than £300. They promised to put adverts for our business up in hospitals and GP clinics but just disappeared after taking our cash. We managed to get a refund by speaking to the bank. Since then, they’ve been ringing me up almost a hundred times, hassling me about payments that don’t exist. It’s been proper harassment. Things got tense too when the bloke on the phone got aggressive after I warned him I’d call the police if he kept phoning at all hours. Honestly, felt a bit unsafe.

Total scammer alert! They’re pretending to be Purple Bricks, saying you can get broadband deals if you’ve just bought a place. Absolute rip-off - don’t believe a word of it!!!

I received a call from someone saying they were with the nearby post office, but they messed up and mentioned the wrong area. They were talking about how with more bank branches shutting, the post office was getting busier. They tried to push that there were only two advertising slots left. I got her number and told her I’d get back after having a look at my schedule. Honestly, I’m relieved I looked into it properly before agreeing to anything.

got a call from a nicely spoken woman wanting to arrange a meeting about putting up an advertising board at our local doctors’ surgery. I told her we weren’t interested, but then the phone just started playing music, so i ended up hanging up.

I received a call where the person claimed to be from a medical firm based in Woosehill and wanted to chat with the owner. Honestly, who do they think they're kidding? It’s like they believe I’ve just stepped off the turnip truck! Absolute nonsense!

They’re attempting to peddle business ventures linked to a healthcare facility! 😂😂

Got a call from someone claiming to be a doctor's office, but turns out they were just trying to sell ad space for notice boards. When I asked why they didn’t follow the TPS rules, they just ended the call on me. Definitely a scam, watch out!

Right when I answered the call, I just ended it straight away. It’s getting worse, these folks keep trying with loads of different numbers even though I’m signed up with the TPS.
