Got a call from 01245 947801 and an automated voice claimed there were two dodgy transactions on my bank account. It told me to press one to talk to someone, but I didn’t fall for it - definitely a scam! Just a heads up to everyone, watch out for these sorts of calls.

Not about health or anything, just had someone try to lower my insurance for boiler upkeep and water stuff, said it's because of my age! Made no sense to me.

A lady called 'Katherine' with a very English accent said she was from Medical Services. Before she got to explain, I told her I was dealing with cancer and asked her nicely to stop calling. Surprisingly, she said sorry and hung up straight away - thank goodness for that.

This lady called me asking for someone named Mr Thomas. Seems like that name is pretty popular with scammers these days. When I said I’d be reporting her to Ofcom, she just ended the call straight away.

I said I wasn’t comfortable sharing my details and the lady just snapped, “Why are you messing me about?” in a proper annoyed voice. Before I could even tell her she was the one calling me and wasting my time, she hung up straight away.

Got a call from a lady called Ashley, sounded Asian, saying I was eligible for a personal alarm device. I politely declined and then blocked her number.

Got a call from a company trying to sell these medical alert alarms. They were pushing hard, saying older folks like me really need one. Felt like a typical cold call with a bit of pressure. Not sure if it’s legit or just a sales thing.

These ambulance chasers just won't quit. I've finally put my number on the telephone preference service to try and block these pests once and for all.

I had a rather impolite individual on the line who insisted on receiving my name and other personal information. I decided to terminate the conversation and subsequently blocked their number. They referred to a personal medical alert system and claimed they found my number in the phone directory. Quite concerning, really!

I've received three calls from this number just this week. I picked up the phone once, and it turned out to be someone with a distinct foreign accent. They asked for me by name but were rather evasive about the purpose of the call. They insisted on confirming my identity before divulging any details. Ultimately, they stated that the individual they were after was too preoccupied to chat until they understood the nature of the call and promptly hung up. Quite peculiar, if you ask me!

Got this call where no one talked, just silence waiting for me to say something. Pretty clear it’s one of those scams.

Dodgy calls, no response. Just trying to find out if you're about.

I've had this number call me thrice within a week. Every time I answered, nothing but silence on the other end. If it's actually a BT landline, why hasn't BT taken it offline? And if it really is theirs, shouldn't they be held accountable for any issues caused by this scam?

This number has been ringing me daily without fail. I've finally decided to block it. I haven't picked up any of the calls; I just let them go to voicemail, but they never bother to leave a message. Quite annoying, really!

Just had a ring on my landline from 01245961978. This number seems familiar as I’ve had a call from them previously. The last time I answered, there was silence on the other end, which was odd. Today, a woman with a noticeable accent, not quite English, was on the line. She offered me some kind of neck alarm, supposedly for emergencies in case I take a tumble. When I started probing her with questions, the conversation didn’t last much longer before she cut it short. Very peculiar!
