Absolute con artists! They rang up my elderly neighbour who’s 93 and really freaked her out. Honestly, I hope these types get what’s coming to them somewhere horrible. They claimed she’d got a policy with them, free for the first couple of years, but now she supposedly owed for another three years. Plus, they said if she wanted to cancel, it would cost her £79. Luckily, my neighbour checked with me before doing anything.

Got a call from a woman claiming my dad’s TV insurance payment was overdue - supposedly from a policy he signed up for two years ago. Thing is, he doesn’t have any insurance at all. She was offering a 50% discount if I paid right away. What worried me was she already knew our family name and address. After I called her out and warned about legal action for trying to sell a policy to an elderly person who can’t really make decisions, she just abruptly ended the call!

Over the past three weeks, I've had the same 01268 517*** number ring me for the eighth time now. They’ve tried all sorts of insurance scams, even one about a satellite dish I don’t even own. Today, it was something about a council tax refund due to a band change. I called him out as a scammer, but he just kept pushing the story like it was legit. I guess the time he wasted arguing with me is time he couldn’t be trying to con someone else.

I received a call regarding my television repair and maintenance plan, during which they requested my payment information. Definitely a scam, in my opinion!

After a quiet spell of a few months, these calls have started up once more. I block every number but they seem to keep switching them. When I actually picked up a call last year, they were going on about some insurance I supposedly owed for my fridge. I just ignore them now and block straight away. I’m certain it’s a scam - I must’ve blocked over 20 different numbers by now. It’s so frustrating.

BEWARE OF FRAUDSTERS! To help fight off these scammers, always report them. You can send suspicious scam emails to ‘[email protected]’. If you get scam texts, just forward them to ‘7726’. If you receive dodgy or silent calls, make sure to text the details to ‘7726’ as well. Also, have a look at the programmes about scams on BBC One and Channel 5 - you can find them on iPlayer and My5. Stay safe, Anon13.

Kept getting calls every hour starting at 18:13 tonight (6/2/24). Didn’t pick up and they never left a voicemail.

Got a call from 01268517262 around 8 pm. Didn’t pick up since I figured it wasn’t anyone I know, plus it seemed too late to get a sales call. Turns out this number is linked to scam calls.

Called my mum earlier and they somehow got through her call blocker. Then they said she needed to pay £157 for some call blocking thing using a card. She said her son handles the bills these days and she'd write it down to tell him. They just ended the call right after. Total scammers, honestly!

Loads of calls from this number till nearly 9pm, trying to convince me I could get half price on some insurance I’ve never heard of. They said I could either fork out £149 straight away or £365 later on. The person on the line sounded really confident, which made me doubt myself for a bit, but I eventually ended the call after a short chat. Got bombarded with a bunch of calls one after the other, then it stopped. Even though I’m usually wary of dodgy sales calls, this one made me second guess. Best steer clear of it completely.

These calls just keep coming nonstop, and honestly, I don't have a clue how to make them quit. Every time, it's pretty much the same spiel they’re giving.

Watch out for that TV fix payment scam going around! It's all too common now for these calls to pop up, promising repairs but then asking for payment upfront. Be really careful before handing over any money for supposed TV repairs.

Loads of calls keep coming from Basildon, but the numbers keep changing just a bit. I picked up once and they just ended the call straight away. Even when I block them, they find a way to ring again!
