Sounds like this is one of those TV insurance scams, just like others have mentioned here.

Got a call from 01245820718, left a message on my voicemail but it wasn’t in English and I couldn’t figure out what language they were speaking. Seems dodgy to me, probably some sort of scam.

Someone with an accent rang my parents' number and when they asked who it was, they said they couldn't speak as they weren't the account holder. I asked the caller who they were, and they said it was about a payment. I told them if they didn't identify themselves, I'd hang up. They then started shouting, so I ended the call. Later, they called again but hung up as soon as I picked up. I'm planning to report this to the ICO.

Got a call from a different Chelmsford number: 01245820718. The voice on the line sounded Asian. We just ended the call straightaway. Lately, we've also been getting calls from ...0712, 0713, and 0715. Honestly, they don't give up easily!

Got a call from someone claiming they were with Homeserve regarding a policy I supposedly took out, which I never did. She was trying to convince me to lower my payments but I saw straight through it and ended the call.

Called by someone asking for Miss, I said there isn't any Miss living here. Then they switched to Mrs with a different name and address, obviously not mine. They claimed I'd signed up for a Homeserve TV protection plan in 2023 and that the first year was free, but now I owed £400 for the rest of the period. They gave a bank number and asked if it was mine. I said I couldn't check as my details were upstairs. They kept insisting I'd taken out the policy. I told them to stop bothering me and hung up. Afterwards, I contacted my bank to let them know about the call.

Got a call saying they were from my missus's bank, said there was some urgent payment she had to sort out today. But weirdly, when I asked which bank, they couldn’t tell me. The pause after I answered and the dodgy English made me suspicious straight away. To me, it seemed like a total scam.

Got a call from someone saying they were from Homeserve, offering some kind of TV warranty, which I found totally dodgy! They tried to pitch me a deal - three years of free cover, then another two years I’d have to pay for. What freaked me out was they clearly knew my full name, address, and phone number. I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.

Got a dodgy call again today from some woman with a weird accent claiming to be from a home help company. Before she could even finish about some contract for TV upkeep, I cut her off. I played along for a while using an old lady voice, telling her I didn't want any home help, I was fine on my own. Then I switched back to my usual voice and told her to remove my number from her list. She wouldn’t back down though, so I told her I was bored and just hung up. Total scam, no doubt about it.

I got a call from someone claiming to be from "Home Care Services," telling me I have a Sky TV maintenance plan I didn’t even know about. They said my last payment’s supposed to be today, but luckily I’m “low-risk” so I’m allowed some kinda discount. Bit dodgy if you ask me.

This woman called saying she was Bethany from some home care company. She wanted to chat about a service plan for my TV. I calmly told her there's no service plan like that with us and it sounded like a scam to me. After that, I just ended the call.

I got a call on my old, unlisted home phone that I haven’t even used or picked up for about 12 years due to all the rubbish and scam calls. To find out who it was, I used 1471 to see where the ring came from. I was under the impression the new BT VOIP system was meant to block this kind of spam. I've made sure to report the number on every official platform I could find.

My partner spotted that last three digits were on her bank card and asked about them. When I called back the number to check, the person asked if I had power of attorney for her finances. I knew right away it was a scam and told them so. They rang again but hung up as soon as I picked up. Watch out for this one!

They claimed to be from some kind of Home Care Service or something, but I just hung up straight away. I don’t get why anyone from a totally different part of the country would ring me about that sort of thing. Honestly, sounds like just another scam to me.
