An 89 year old gent got a really scary call from 01268517254 to his number 01765 604248, with the caller saying "We know where you live." Such a horrible thing to say to someone that age.

I got a call from this number and another one close to it (01268 653950) where they just give a first name instead of saying the company they work for, trying to bypass the guardian on my landline. Big thanks to everyone here for sharing what these callers are up to - I never had to find out for myself, luckily!

I got a call about a payment being overdue for a TV service plan, which isn’t right as I don’t have any such plan at all. Then they said I’d have to pay £99 if I cancelled early and just hung up on me. Quite the cheek!

Got a call from someone named Ossie saying they were charging loads for white goods insurance... sounded dodgy to me. Reckon he's from Essex, which sadly just adds to the suspicion! Total con artist if you ask me.

Got a call regarding some appliance insurance we never signed up for - sounds like a total scam to me.

Definitely a con job. They wanted to talk to my mum specifically, but when I said they could chat with me instead, they just dropped the line. Funny thing is, all these dodgy calls come from numbers with the exact same area code and first numbers. Total scam to me.

I didn’t pick up because I’ve got a call monitor that only allows calls not on my approved list if they say who they are. I couldn’t quite catch the name properly, but I definitely heard what seemed like a call centre buzzing in the background, so I just blocked the number afterwards.

I was contacted about a 5 year TV insurance plan. Since I never reported any problems, they said I should get 50% off the final payment, which was due today. They tried to send some documents and asked me to verify my address and the last digits of my bank card. I refused to give those details. I told the person I didn’t actually have any insurance with them, but he kept insisting that I did, and that I needed to cancel my payments. That’s when I just ended the call.

He claimed to be calling from Appliance Aid Limited, but the moment I asked for more details, he just ended the call straightaway.

My missus picked up after just two rings but there was nothing but silence on the other end. Sounds like one of those silent calls, most likely a spoof or scam.

Someone rang me, but I quickly looked up the number here before picking up, so I didn’t bother answering.

I hang up as soon as the answering machine kicks in.

Like others have mentioned, this was definitely a con about paying for a 5 year cover I supposedly had on my TV. I actually had a free 5 year warranty with it, but the woman ringing claimed she needed another £389 to continue the cover, saying it’d be charged to my card automatically soon, or that I had to pay £99 to cancel. When I asked for more info and a number to ring them back on, she just hung up. Total scam.

Got a call when I wasn’t home, no message left. Didn’t recognise the number at all and don’t have mates in Basildon, so figured it was probably a dodgy scam.

Someone rang me up saying I’d signed a five-year care plan for my TV and that I still had to pay for the rest since only the first two years were covered for free. They even had the details of when and where I got the TV, which was two years ago. Thing is, I never agreed to any of this and I bought the TV from Currys. The caller got pretty pushy, so I cut the call short.

Got a call from an Asian lady who was really pushy, saying she’d charge me £400 for some service contract that I never agreed to. She was quite intimidating.

I got a call from a lady with a southern English accent who claimed we had some sort of TV maintenance agreement with her company. She mentioned that the renewal payment was coming up and said paperwork had already been sent through. She knew my name and where I live, so I'm guessing they used the electoral roll. I told her I wasn’t interested and began to ask her some questions. As soon as I did that, she just hung up. Pretty sure it was a scam to pressure me into paying over the phone.

Got a call from a number I didn’t recognise. Didn’t leave any voicemail or anything. After reading some of the reviews, I’ve just gone ahead and blocked it.

I said hello but they just hung up without saying a word. Strange behaviour.

Got a call on my phone from a number I didn’t recognise, so I decided to check it out. Turns out it’s linked to scams. I’ve gone ahead and blocked it now to be safe.
