I got a text saying it was from M&S Car Insurance but the policy number didn't match up and the sender showed as MANDS Car instead of M&S like the other texts I've got. They wanted me to ring a number, but I’m not falling for it. I've marked it as a scam and blocked the number.

Got a couple calls from 01256831492, both times no one said a word, then a silent voicemail that lasted just a couple seconds. Bit odd if you ask me.

I received an unsolicited call inquiring about a warranty for my cat. How bizarre!

Got a call from Motoreasy about my car’s warranty. They sounded like they already had my info from the DVLA or something. I just ended the call straight away.

Been getting calls from 01256 831492 quite a few times lately, maybe four missed ones. I don’t usually pick up if I don’t recognise the number or haven’t saved it. The caller ID says it’s Basingstoke, but not sure what it’s about.

I added it to the block list but they keep trying to ring me anyway. Just putting this here so others know what’s going on.

Got a text from 01256 831432 claiming to be the RAC insurance asking me to ring them back. When I called, they said I owed £20. But I had already cancelled my policy and was told I was still in the cooling off period, so nothing was due. I told the woman on the phone I'd both emailed and phoned to cancel, and asked her to check the recordings with customer service. She put me on hold and when she returned, said the line was busy and they'd call me back. That never happened. Be careful and don't hand over your bank details to any calls from this number.

I've noticed that every time I answer, they just hang up straight away. It's happened loads of times now!

Received a call from someone claiming to be with Motoreasy, insisting they were reaching out about a car warranty and offering a complimentary six months of coverage. They even had my car's registration and type on hand, which was a bit unnerving since I’ve never initiated any contact regarding a warranty. To clarify, my warranty isn't up for another couple of years! Total scam! I only had a brief chat as I was behind the wheel at the time. Just a heads-up to others!

Got a call from someone saying they were from Sky, asking for my bank details. I told them to check my account info since I pay through direct debit, then they just ended the call. Be careful, it's a scam.

Someone called saying they were from Sky asking for my bank details. I told them to check my account info themselves since I pay by direct debit. Right after that, they just hung up. Don’t get tricked by this!

The phone rang and it was someone claiming to be from Sky, but I didn’t trust it and ended up just hanging up straight away.
