No clue who that was. He never said his name or what company he was from, and didn’t ask for anyone in particular. He just said something like, "I'm wondering if you’ve got a Lidl leaflet?" I blocked the call right away cos I definitely didn’t ask for any Lidl stuff. Judging by other comments here, it sounds really suspicious.

I received a phone call from this number inquiring if I had received a brochure from Lidl. They were checking on the delivery status. However, I decided to block the number once I read some comments about it. Just wanted to express my gratitude for the heads up.

I recently got a phone call from a particular number, where the caller inquired whether I had received a brochure that was supposed to be delivered. Unfortunately, I couldn't comprehend the name of the company. Realizing that she had mistaken me for someone else, I informed her about it. However, she happened to mention the name of the street where I live, although she missed out on mentioning the house number. According to her, I should expect the brochure to arrive within a few days. Upon reading some comments about that particular number, I decided to block it completely.

I got a call from someone claiming they were just seeing if I'd got my free local newspaper lately! Yeah, no chance of that. When I told them I hadn’t, they said they'd look into it! They said they're based in Hastings, hmm, bit suspicious if you ask me!

I keep receiving repeated calls regarding a BT phone directory. However, all they seem interested in is obtaining personal information or my address. Their sole intention appears to be gathering confidential details. Consequently, I advise hanging up immediately without providing any information.

Got a call earlier today but they hung up the second I answered. Sounds like a total scam to me. If they’re legit like some folks here say, they seriously lack basic customer service skills. Would be awful if they’re actually connected to BT since I’m on the TPS list. What’s the use of this "service" when it clearly doesn’t do what it’s meant to, even here in the UK?

Some bloke said he worked for a firm that hands out BT phonebooks, but when I asked which one, he wouldn’t say. When I told him "No thanks," he got all stroppy and started saying he wasn’t selling anything, just wanted info on distribution. Seems dodgy to me, definitely blocking this number from now on!

Got a call earlier, some bloke asking if I’d got my Bournemouth Advertiser paper and if their lot were doing their job properly. Felt dodgy, no idea what the scam is exactly though. Didn’t ask for my address or anything personal. Maybe just seeing if this number’s live for some rubbish scams down the line.

I decided to pick up this call solely because it originated from the Hastings area, where my family resides. To my surprise, the caller happened to be a woman inquiring whether I had received a complimentary copy of something or another. Puzzled by her question, I curtly responded with a firm "no" and promptly ended the call.

As an elderly citizen, I am rather tired of receiving constant calls from this number throughout the day. It has become a regular occurrence that I ignore my landline ringing. However, adhering to this routine can be challenging for me due to my poor health. I rely on my phone to contact hospitals, doctors, and other essential services. Is there any possibility of blocking this number, please? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

looks like they’re a bit confused about who they’re really ringing for, or maybe they’re just outright scammers and fibbers. no matter how smart they reckon they are, their time’s gonna come. they’ll have to answer to a higher power after this life and to the law while they’re still here. basically, these folks are proper losers, if you catch my drift.

I received a suspicious phone call today inquiring about a leaflet I supposedly received from a local house decoration service. The caller, a lady, claimed that she could arrange to deliver the leaflet to me. I responded by saying, "Don't bother." What confuses me is that the phone number used for the call originates from Hastings, which is 150 miles away from where I am located. It's peculiar to think why someone would recommend a decorator from such a far-off location. This leads me to believe that it may be a scam.
