My landline rang, so I picked up, and this bloke with an Asian accent began trying to push some kind of insurance for home appliances. He didn’t mention which company he was with or anything. I just said I’m not interested and ended the call.

Got a voicemail saying it was from my bank about someone trying to take £170 from my account. It said if I want to sort it out, press 1 or 2 to chat with an adviser. I just went ahead and blocked the number straight away.

Got a call where the bloke asked if I was the homeowner and checked if my appliances were working fine. Said they had to update my insurance details, then suddenly another guy wanted my card info! I sent a text to 7726 to warn the Fraud Police about it straight away.

Got a call from a guy with an Asian accent who wanted to know if I was the head of the household. I said I was, and then he just hung up. Pretty sure it was a scammer, as the call got blocked right after.

Got a call from 01253257228 saying they were from Domestic & General about my appliances. They then asked for a "branch code" and that’s when I just ended the call. Pretty clear it was a scam.

Someone rang asking for the lady of the house but then went quiet when I answered. I kept saying hello a few times but they just stayed silent before eventually hanging up on me. Seeing all the comments here mentioning appliance assurance makes me think it was probably the company I just cancelled my insurance with. Can't say I'm surprised!

My landline just rang, which is pretty unusual these days, so I immediately thought it might be one of those annoying scam calls. Someone answered with a "hello" but it honestly came across like it was from a call centre. When I checked the number online, loads of folks have marked it as spam or something close to it.

My phone buzzed, but just as my answer machine started, the caller cut off.

I got a call quite early, about half past eight in the morning. Answered with a simple "Yes?" and the person on the other end, who sounded like he had an Indian or maybe East Asian accent, asked if I was the man of the house. Honestly, I just told him to get lost and hung up straight away.

I just let it go to voicemail, hoped for a message but got nothing except some heavy breathing on the other end. Strange call.

Got called from 01253 257228 (also dialled as 01253257228) again - yep, it's just one of those spam sales calls. This is the sixth one I've had today! Just gonna block it and post about it here as usual.

Got a call from this number around 12:34pm on Monday 7th Sept 2026. Some bloke with an Asian accent was asking for me by name, said he wanted to discuss my home appliances. I told him I wasn’t interested! That was the third cold call I’ve had today - absolutely sick of it. Then it rang a fourth time, some chat about utilities - I just hung up. Enough is enough!

I picked up when they called but no one said anything. Then I heard them say hello a couple of times, followed by some laughing before they just ended the call.

My landline rang but I didn't pick up cause the number seemed dodgy. I looked it up later and yeah, it was one of those annoying calls after all, so I’m relieved I ignored it.

Got a call from a lady with an accent that sounded like she was meant to be from British Gas, but it just felt off. I ended up hanging up straight away. After seeing what others have said here, I’m really glad I didn’t carry on. Another dodgy caller stopped right there!

Some lady with an accent called me about what she said was insurance for my kitchen stuff or something. I told her I wasn’t interested, didn’t have anything to do with it, then she just hung up straight away. Very pointless call, if you ask me.

Got a call supposedly from British Gas saying there was a new boiler policy update. When I asked who she was and why she didn’t just send an email like they usually do, she just ended the call. Definitely sounded like a scam to me.

At first, I thought these calls were just annoying, but reading some of the other comments, it’s clear they can actually be pretty risky. Over the last half year, I’ve had loads of them and honestly I’m well and truly fed up now. This one was a real person on the line, not a robotic message, so I told her she was actually breaking the rules and that I’d report her. Blocked the number straight away.

Got a call from some Indian lady with a really odd accent going on about my home appliances and some sort of policy. She was talking super quick, trying to get me to give her my full card number to 'activate' something. I told her no way and ended the call. She rang back a couple of times but I just didn't pick up. Total scam alert!

Caller claimed to be from Domestic and General who I have not had a policy with in excess of 10 years. The caller wished to confirm my sort code which I refused and he immediately disconnected. I would say this is a highly suspicious number and likely to be unsafe.

They said they were from Domestic and General, but I haven’t had a policy with them for ages. They asked me to verify my sort code, which I thought was weird. As soon as I said no, they hung up straight away. I wouldn’t trust this number at all, seems dodgy to me.

I saw it was a local phone number so I picked up. A guy with an Asian accent was asking for the house owner. I asked him what it was regarding and he mentioned something about a washing machine contract. I told him I don't have any contract like that and just hung up.

These days, my landline just gets endless spam calls, so I choose not to pick up. Interestingly, the phone showed that the number was from a known pest from before.
