Got a call from a bloke saying I’d been on free cover for two years and now owed for the next three years of TV cover. I told him I hadn’t signed up for anything, but he claimed I could cancel, though there’d be a £79 cancellation fee. I asked him to send me the contract with my signature on it, said I’d deal with it then. He just said alright and ended the call.

Got a call from some bloke claiming we’d signed up for an electrical service plan and already used up a 2 year free trial, now we owe for the next 3 years. I told him to send me the contract so I could check it out. Then he said my husband had accepted the contract a couple of years ago - which is daft because my husband doesn’t even have an email! When I asked for the debit card info he was planning to charge, he just cut the call. Bit fishy if you ask me.

Got a call from a guy with an African accent saying my TV warranty was up.

Got a call about some electrical warranty stuff today. They said if I didn’t take their discount, they'd charge me £399. I just told them to buzz off.

They rang me but never said owt. From what I’ve seen on here, it looks like a proper con. We’re signed up to the TPS, yet these lot couldn’t care less. Pretty sure they’re not even based in Chelmsford anyway.

I got a call from an Asian woman wanting to talk to my wife, but she only used her first initial and last name. I told her I had power of attorney for my wife, then she mentioned something about a policy my wife had with them and said there was an issue with a direct debit, also that they sent a letter out last week about it. I told her to send another letter and just ended the call.

Got a call from someone claiming to be from a company with some initials, saying there was an update regarding an account they said I have. Told them straight I don’t have any account with them. After that, they just went silent!

They called and actually used my name, but then just ended the call straight away.

My mum got a call today from someone saying they were from Home and Drainage Protection Services, using a number ending in 65. But these calls actually started coming through on the 10th of January from this same number. They were trying to tell her she owed £300 and if she paid right now, they’d give her a discount and cut the price in half. We ended up blocking that number, but then each day they started ringing from slightly different but similar numbers like 01245981863, 01245981864, and 01245981865. It’s so obvious it’s a scam call centre cause as soon as we blocked one number, they just called from another. Mum asked them to send the info by post since she didn’t want to pay over the phone, but the person just hung up. Seriously, don’t ever pay anything over the phone unless you’re 100% certain who you’re dealing with. Be careful out there!

My landline just rang, and the moment I answered, the other person disconnected. Quite strange, really!

Over the past 48 hours, I’ve gotten six calls from this number.

Almost every cold call you get is a scam these days, seriously like 99.9%. If you want them to quit bothering you, you gotta report them. Otherwise, they just keep coming back. Check out the info below on how to do that.

I got a call from someone claiming to be with Homecare. Since I actually have two policies with them, I gave them a listen. But then they started talking about a TV repair policy, which I don’t have at all, so I just told them I wasn’t interested and hung up.

I picked up the call and could hear someone speaking a foreign language in the background, after a bit they just ended the call.

I've been receiving multiple calls daily for weeks on end. They never leave a voicemail, yet I can overhear male voices on the line. Could it be a call centre, or perhaps some dodgy scam attempt?

A woman with a strong foreign accent keeps ringing us up, saying she's offering a £200 refund on our phone bill. Whenever we try to ask which phone company she’s with, she just ignores it and pushes on about the refund. She’s called a few times now, so we just end up hanging on them straight away.
