got a call from someone with a British accent, said it was about some extended warranty on an old appliance i had ages ago, like 6 years back. they mentioned an address i haven’t lived at for over 7 years. felt like a bunch of brokers just trying to dig up info. quite annoying really.

I didn’t pick up, but I got a call from this number three times in a single day. Then, over the next few days, I was inundated with calls from several numbers that were very similar, just with a different final digit. I reckon it’s the same callers.

I encountered some downright shameless fraudsters pretending to be from Citizen's Advice. They claimed I had outstanding debts and insisted on verifying my personal details. What a cheek!

total scam alert. they claimed i had unpaid debt under my name and then said they required my address to “confirm security.” complete nonsense.

I’ve received numerous calls from this number, with the caller insisting they’re from a government agency, offering assistance in settling my debts. When I inquired about how they obtained my phone number, the chap became quite irritable and simply reiterated his message. I informed him that I had no outstanding debts and requested that they cease calling me. Yet, the calls persist unabated...

Got two calls in the space of an hour from some bloke who said he was from citizen advice. Told him I didn’t buy it. He said his name was Arthur, but had a really heavy Indian accent. I just laughed it off and blocked the number. Of course, he rang again straight away. Total scammer, stay clear.

Some debt advisors called me and after I told them to leave me alone, they started swearing at me. I ended the call but then they rang back and started threatening me. Proper rude behaviour!

I got a call from someone saying I had unpaid debts under a name I haven’t used in over a decade. They told me they got my details from the FCA. Wasn’t even close to my current name! Daniel was the name mentioned, but it’s been ages since I went by that. Bit dodgy if you ask me.

I got a call from a young lass with a strong Liverpool accent saying she had some info about a car crash involving me. I told her outright I hadn't been in any accident. Then she tried to say maybe I was just a passenger, but I denied that too and told her firmly to take me off their list.

around midday, this number rang me claiming to be from citizens advice scotland. then, not long after at about 1.50pm, the same number called again but this time they said they were from some debt collection agency. i got really annoyed, swore at them and told them to bugger off. they fired back with equally nasty threats, saying they'd turn up at my place and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. i’m not bothered about my safety, but seriously, who are these vile scammers targeting people with such threats? i’d love the chance to confront them face to face. absolutely horrible people.

Got a call from a guy claiming he was Peter, saying he’s from the credit investigation dept. His accent sounded Indian, which made me a bit suspicious. Definitely seemed dodgy.

Somebody rang me saying they're from the Citizens Advice Bureau wanting to help with debt issues. When I asked who exactly I owed, they just blamed it on Covid. Definitely feels like a scam to me.

I've had a couple of calls from this number purporting to be from the Citizens Advice Bureau. After I ended the conversation abruptly, I decided to look it up and found that the actual number for the Chester branch is completely different. This is definitely a dodgy operation. One of the callers was a gentleman with an Indian accent, going by the name Sean, and there was also a woman with a similar accent from the same outfit. Be wary, everyone!

I received a call from someone purporting to be from DRS - they had my complete name but were utterly unable to clarify how they obtained my details or the nature of the debt they were supposedly pursuing. When I expressed my confusion, they quickly apologised for the inconvenience and promptly ended the call. Quite strange, really!

I've had several calls from this number purporting to be from Citizens Advice, and each time I insisted they remove me from their call list, as I was well aware it was a scam. Most recently, they rang again, this time bringing up COVID, but I flatly refused to divulge any personal details. The audacity of the caller was astounding; they actually told me to f*** off! I couldn’t even call the number back; it was utterly ridiculous!

For the past few weeks, I can't shake off the annoyance of unwanted calls from these muppets. They’ve rung me twice today already, claiming to be from Citizens Advice. Whenever I probe them with questions, they're as clueless as a goldfish and just end up fishing for my personal details. Honestly, it’s just a waste of breath engaging with them. I told one chap to do the decent thing and find a proper job instead of trying to con unsuspecting folks, and wouldn’t you know it, he hung up on me! Pathetic.

I'm utterly fed up with these incessant calls from various numbers purporting to be from the Citizen Advice Bureau. I've gone as far as telling them I recognise their scam attempts and to leave me alone, yet they persist! Even after blocking every single number that tries to reach me, the calls just keep coming. It's really infuriating!

Had three phone calls today. Missed the initial one, but picked up the second. They informed me I had some outstanding debts to settle. After that, my phone rang again, but I chose not to pick it up. Odd sort of business, this. Location: Sheringham, Norfolk.

I had a right peculiar experience with a chap named Arthur, who rang me up claiming to be from a credit investigation firm. I couldn't help but chuckle at his nonsense before promptly blocking his number. It's safe to say he won't be the last of his kind, as I'm sure they'll have plenty of other digits up their sleeves to pester unsuspecting folk.
