Got 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.

Got a call with someone singing in the background, then they just ended it. Total waste of my time!

They 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.

I 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.

When 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.

This 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!

Today at about 11:55, I got a call from 01291497147. I usually don’t pick up unless I know who it is, but this time I did. Unsurprisingly, it was just another scam call.

Got two calls on my home phone today, I picked up both times but the other side just went quiet and then ended the call - really frustrating! Just wanna know who's bothering me.

I got a call from someone saying they were with British Gas. Seemed fishy though.

Got 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.

Picked up and all I got was silence for a bit, typical call centre stuff. Then I heard some muffled chatter in the background, but I ended the call before they could really say anything.
