Got a call from 01268 859762, sounded like a scammer trying to trick me into giving out my bank info. Best to just ignore it!

I usually check who's calling before picking up, and this one hung up as soon as my voicemail started, so I'd say it's probably a scam call, which this website backs up.

I just got a call from some security protection company claiming folks are having to sell their houses to cover care home fees. They told me I should put my house in a trust to avoid that, and they said an advisor can ring me up tomorrow. Feels a bit dodgy to me, so I’m gonna give it a miss.

Got a call from a bloke with a really deep voice saying he was from the UK Government's Data Protection team. He told me my info had been leaked and said I needed to hand over all my bank details to get some money from the Government's 'Cost of Living Crisis' scheme. Felt off straight away, so I didn’t give him anything.

Got a call from a bloke with a deep voice and an English accent, said he was from the Government’s Data Protection team. Turned out, the whole thing was dodgy - definitely a scammer trying it on.

Got a call from someone saying they were State Protection Services, talking about new info for homeowners from the chancellor's recent announcement. I cut the call off before they could say more.

I got a call from this number but didn’t bother answering, same as lots of others do here since I don’t pick up unsolicited calls. My call block list is already packed, so I’ll have to remove an old blocked number to add this one now.

Got a call from this number just moments ago but it went straight to my voicemail. Figured I'd look it up here first. Seeing all the comments about it, I’ve blocked it and would recommend you do the same.

Got a call from someone called James, seemed like a scam. The number was 01268 859768. As soon as I asked about some government notice, he just ended the call straight away.

Got a call from a posh sounding bloke saying he was James with State Protection Services, mentioned something about new government rules affecting everyone in the UK. Heard this scam was run before using another phone number.

Got a missed call from 1268859762 on 15/11/22 but it went straight to voicemail without leaving a message. The number and area code seem unfamiliar to me, so I decided not to pick up. Felt a bit dodgy to be honest.

Got a call on my home phone, but thanks to Truecaller it got blocked. The person on the other end wouldn’t say who they were, so the call never went through. I reckon any genuine caller wouldn’t be so secretive, makes this whole thing seem pretty dodgy to me.

I received this rather unsettling news from the government about them taking my home to fund social care. They assured me they’d look after my best interests, which seems a bit hard to fathom. I didn't lose my cool when someone questioned me about it, though; just trying to wrap my head around the whole situation. It’s all rather frustrating, isn’t it?

Got a call from this number today, some guy with an Asian accent claiming to be from my internet company. He told me to hang up the phone - seemed a bit fishy to me. Watch out, feels like a total scam.
