They gave me a bell, claiming to represent the Citizens Advice Bureau about a debt I allegedly have. Unsure about that! Citizens Advice dealing with personal loans? No chance, I've marked them as blocked!

Got a call from some company about credit services, claiming I owed money or needed help with my credit. Told the guy I don’t owe anything and suggested he find a better job than trying to rip people off. He insisted it wasn’t a scam, so I demanded they delete my info. His answer? “If it was a scam, why would I do that?” Then he quickly said goodbye and hung up on me. Totally a scam, no doubt about it!

Got a call from this number claiming to be from citizens advice. I told them I was gonna report the call as a scam and the woman just laughed, saying there’s nothing I can do and she’s untouchable. I asked if she felt proud of herself, and she said yeah, she’s making loads of money and feeling great. I told her karma's gonna catch up to her for scamming vulnerable people. She shouted “wtf did u say?” then I just hung up. She rang me back three times after that. Absolutely awful person to deal with. Watch out for this number!

Got a call from this number recently, was some polite guy with an Asian accent claiming to be from my bank. He was trying to trick me into handing over my account info. Definitely seemed dodgy to me.

I recently had a curious phone call from a lady speaking with an Indian accent who introduced herself as being from the payment investigation unit. When I inquired which company she represented, she simply reiterated her department's name without providing any specifics. Then, bizarrely, she kept pressing me about whether I possess credit cards-asking me that question not once, but twice! After that, she attempted to entice me with some financial offer to cover my credit cards without any interest charges. The moment I mentioned I wasn’t keen on her proposal, she promptly ended the call. Just a heads-up to everyone!

Absolutely a con, best to steer clear and block. They claim to be from some investigation bureau, but you can tell right off the bat from their foreign accent paired with an English name that it’s dodgy. Don't fall for it!

A call came through to my mobile from a number based in the southern part of the UK, and I opted not to pick up. I immediately recognised it as a potential scam since I don't have any acquaintances down there. It was obviously a call centre, and, true to form, it turned out to be just that. I've promptly added it to my block list!

I’ve been inundated with calls from various numbers concerning a loan linked to a chap named Scott Hester. Just today, this particular number reached out. It seems like every time I manage to block one, another pops up in its place. So far, I’ve blocked a staggering 27 of them! The Telephone Preference Service claims there's nothing they can do to assist me. I’ve resorted to ignoring the calls, rejecting them outright, and even picking up just to hang up again. I’ve pleaded with them to leave me be, and occasionally even engage with them just to waste their time. Honestly, I’ve tried every trick in the book! Unfortunately, I can’t change my phone number due to personal circumstances. Today’s caller was particularly brazen; when I asked him to remove my number from their list, he flatly refused, saying, "No madam, I won’t. You can go to the police if you like, I frankly don’t care," before abruptly hanging up. It’s beyond frustrating!
