Got a call from a bloke named Shaun, sounded like he might be half Irish, half Indian or summat. He kept saying I’m being charged £7.60 a month for TV insurance - which I definitely ain’t! To top it off, he had my address all wrong. Ended up blocking the number straight away.

Got a call from an Indian guy, kept demanding to speak to Mrs so-and-so. I told him she ain't at this address and to quit calling. Then he asked for Mr, same deal - I said they don’t live here and if he keeps ringing I’d report him to Ofcom. He was getting pushy, so I just hung up. It was a Basildon area code. Since I don’t accept unknown calls from Indian numbers, it’s annoying. Shows how useless the TPS is if these types still get through after you sign up!

I just got a call from some Indian bloke claiming it was about TV insurance. I told him if he wanted to cover the cost, then sure, I’d take it since my telly’s knackered. As soon as I said that, he hung up. I said, "Oi, stop messing about," and that was that lol.

If you've signed up with the TPS, make sure to also report any scam calls to the ICO. For silent or dropped calls, Ofcom is the right place to notify. Spam callers usually ignore complaints here, but they definitely take it seriously when Ofcom or the ICO gets a report. It only takes a couple of mins to do it online, so it’s worth the effort.

Got a call from a woman with an Indian accent saying my TV package was about to be cut down. Told her I don't even have a TV plan, and she kept insisting I must've forgotten about it. Ended up just hanging up and flagged the number as suspicious.

Got a call from an Indian guy trying to tell me I was being charged £7.60 every month for some TV service deal. I told him I wasn’t paying anything like that and just asked him to leave me alone. I’ve had these kind of calls previously, but I never get what the actual con is since I don’t let it drag out.

Got a ring from a number that says it’s from near Basildon, sounded like a proper pain. Someone needs to sort their attitude out, seriously.

From my experience, the majority of calls come from India, where a lot of folks seem desperate and not very trustworthy. However, I've noticed that Indians who grew up here in the UK generally come across as much nicer and more genuine.

The number showed up as local, so I didn’t really think twice. Then this guy with a strong Indian accent started talking about my sky tv account. I told him I don’t even have sky tv, but he kept insisting I did. We went back and forth for a minute until he just ended the call. Definitely another scam attempt. Why is it that these calls always seem to come from Indian voices?

My dad's been getting calls from this number all the time, asking questions about his computer, but he doesn't even own one. Every time I pick up for him, the caller just hangs up straight away. Now we're having trouble picking up any calls at all.

Got a call from someone with a foreign accent saying they were from Sky and wanted my bank info. Definitely don’t trust these calls. Just end it straight away.
