3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from SKY Cover, offering some discount. Turned out to be a scam, so I blocked the number straight away.SKY3 yearsGot a call with someone singing in the background, then they just ended it. Total waste of my time!3 yearsThey called me at 8:25 in the morning, lucky for me they didn’t get through. I guess 08-25 is meant to be a completely different place than where they were actually calling from.3 yearsI got a call from 01291497147, which is a BT number based in Chepstow apparently. It's crazy that BT would let their phone line be used like this for scams, trying to con people out of money. Don’t they even care anymore? Sometimes I wonder if folks in the UK just don’t bother about what's happening to others. BT really needs to keep a closer eye on how their lines are being used and sort this out.BTChepstowUK3 yearsWhen I finally picked up, nobody said a word. After seeing what others said, I’m quite relieved I answered at all. I’m registered with the no-call list, so really, these calls shouldn’t be happening.3 yearsGot a call at about 8.25 in the morning, but no one spoke when I picked up. Surely they're not in the UK to be calling so early?UK3 yearsHe hung up really quick after i told him my missus full name wasn’t around. Totally a scam!!3 yearsThis number rang me up saying my insurance renewal would cost less but he had no clue what kind of boiler I own and then tried asking for my bank details. I just ended the call straight away!3 yearsSomeone rang me but didn’t bother to leave a message!

Seemed fishy though.British Gas3 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Asian accent who said his name was “Chris”. He asked if he was speaking to my husband! Since the account was under my name it raised a red flag straight away. He claimed to be calling from British Gas about some boiler cover. At first I thought it was just the usual reminder to book a service, but then he said he needed to confirm my details because prices were dropping. That’s when I got really wary. I told him I’d ring up my supplier myself as I’m never giving out info on the phone. Pretty sure it was one of those spam calls.ChrisBritish Gas3 yearsTypical scam call, they kept rambling on about some updates to the gas prices.
