Got a call from someone claiming they had tips about dodging care fees. They said the Government’s new payment plans were all over the BBC news this morning. Had a proper look and there was nothing on the news about it. Pretty obvious it was a scam, so I told them as much.

A call about windows and doors came through and I told them my number’s on the TPS list, so they weren’t supposed to ring me. Right after that, they just ended the call.

At about 09.45, I answered a call from 0131 516 9871 since I have relatives in Edinburgh. Just like others have said here, the caller was talking nonsense. When I told the person on the phone it wasn’t relevant to me and I wasn’t interested, there was a lot of babble before I ended the call. Definitely going straight on my block list and into the bin!

I got a call from someone called Chris at Care Cost Solutions. He was going through his script really quickly, but I had to cut him off mid-sentence to tell him I wasn’t interested at all in buying anything.

Got a call from 0131 516 9871, some bloke asking about the age of my driveway, said he was around looking for a ‘show home’. I told him it’d just been done, then hinted nicely that he should jog on. After reading other reviews, looks like this number rings up loads of people. Funny you mention AI, cos there were weird pauses like it wasn’t really human. Definitely a scam, watch out for it!

Got a call from Cost Care Solutions on 01315169871 claiming the government plans to make people sell their houses to cover care costs, saying it’s a BBC announcement. Luckily, I stayed on the line long enough to figure out how to block the number on my folks’ phone. Seems like they don’t bother checking if the number’s on the TPS before ringing up.

Some bloke rang me claiming the BBC had said the Government plans to make folks sell their houses to cover care costs. He asked if I’d got any kind of protection sorted. I just told him I don’t have dependants so it’s not really an issue for me - then he just ended the call.

Care Cost Solutions rang me up and without even asking who I was, the person just jumped straight into a spiel about some new government rules that would affect me. I just let him carry on for a bit, then ended the call and blocked the number.

Got a call from 01315169871 but they didn’t say who they were or leave any message when it got picked up by my call screener. Feels dodgy, probably some kind of scam. If it was legit, I’m sure they’d have left a message rather than just hanging up. Watch out for it!

My dad got a call from some lot about securing his house, but he was a bit lost with what they were on about. They told him they’d ring back the next day. I called them myself and gave them a telling off when they started trying to get his private info. Turns out it was just some telemarketers pushing driveways and garden work.

Just got a call from 0131 516 9871, I wasn’t expecting it and picked up quick without thinking (I usually ignore numbers I don’t know). They started talking about care home fees and asking if I had equity in my place. I said nothing and they just hung up. I’m on the TPS and my number’s unlisted, so I shouldn’t be getting calls like this. If you’ve got elderly or vulnerable family, watch out for calls like this. Does anyone know where to report these sorts of numbers?

Blimey, Sam's always on the go, isn’t he? I received a call regarding some fresh government regulations - something I’ve been aware of for over a decade! The chap on the other end mentioned that families might need to part with their homes to fund care facilities in their twilight years. When I casually mentioned that I was already clued in, he simply went silent. Quite the conversation, I must say!

I've had three calls from different numbers all from Scotland, and each time it was just silence when I answered. It feels pretty dodgy to me. Could be just annoying, or maybe they're trying to scam someone. Either way, it's not great.
