Just got a call about winning some postcode lottery. They already had my address, which made me suspicious. When I asked how I could win since I don’t even take part, the guy said it was because I’m “a customer” and was automatically registered. I asked a customer of what, and he replied it was linked to my life insurance. I pushed harder, asking whose policy it was, and he acted like I should just know. Definitely a scam, watch out!

Like others have mentioned, they claimed to be from the Postcode Lottery, then started asking me about my insurance details. Total scam, no doubt. Just ignore and block them. I never take part in any lotteries, so they're clearly using it as a cover for their scams.

Got a call from 01298815517, some lady looking for a Ms Dally but that’s not me. I asked who she was and she just cut off. The caller ID showed Buxton, Cheshire but I’m down in Lambeth, London. I rang back and it came up as Sky Shield Protect, so it’s definitely not BT. Pretty obvious this is a scammer trying to pull a fast one!

I received a rather intrusive call regarding life insurance the other day. To be honest, I've never taken out any insurance of that sort, so I'm baffled as to how they sourced my number. Quite the nuisance, if you ask me!

Some bloke called me saying I’d bagged a share of £100,000 on the Postcode Lottery. Then he started asking about what I spend on life insurance. His accent was proper hard to understand, and when I asked him to say it again, he just hung up straight away. Sounds like a total scam, probably from abroad.

Got a call from someone claiming to be with The Postcode Lottery, saying I’d won £100,000. They wanted me to answer a few security questions to get the prize. Once I told them I don’t even play the lottery, they just hung up with a quick “oh.” Watch out everyone!

Got a call telling me I’d won something in the postcode lottery. Told them I don’t take part in those things. They said it was totally random, like they just picked postcodes out of a hat. I said I can’t win if I don’t enter. Then they just hung up on me. The bloke sounded like he had an Indian accent again. Seriously, do these people just never quit trying to get your cash?

I recently got a call from someone claiming to be the People’s Postcode Lottery. Thing is, they were asking about a Northern Ireland postcode, which I knew straight away doesn’t fall under their scheme. Definitely a dodgy call, no doubt about it.

Got a call from someone claiming to be from the Postcode Lottery, but they were using my old address from when I was signed up. Since I've moved and already cancelled my entry, I got the feeling they were just working in some big call centre. Didn’t trust it at all, so I just ended the call. Totally seems like a scam to me.

I got a call from someone pretending to be from the postcode lottery, claiming it had something to do with a life insurance policy.

Got a call from 01298815517 claiming I’d won some postcode lottery. They knew my surname, which freaked me out a bit, but there was loads of noise in the background like a busy call centre, probably to make it seem legit. When I asked who they were, they just kept saying I’d won a big prize. Thing is, I’ve never even played that lottery before! Caller sounded like they were from overseas, maybe India or the Philippines? Most likely using VOIP to hide their real location. I just ended the call and marked it as a scam/spam to be safe.

Got a call saying I’d won £100,000 but they only had my previous address. I played along and said I’d moved to 69 Yellow Submarine. The woman kept saying she couldn’t hear me, so I told her I was underwater which was why. They thought my new place was 69 Yellow Costa Rica and I just went with it. Spent a few minutes making up fake postcodes until they finally gave up and hung up. Total scam! :)
