Got a couple of calls from 01438 581 708 today but they didn’t leave any voicemail. Did a quick search on the number and it’s linked to scams, so I’ve already gone ahead and blocked it.

Got a call from someone pretending to be from a government office trying to push insurance sales. Definitely dodge and block these dodgy callers!

Got a call around 11:50 today, but since no one was around the house, the person on the other end just hung up without dropping a voicemail.

Ended up being a scam, said it was about new government rules for estates. I didn’t hang around, just blocked the number.

Dodgy lot trying to pull a fast one!

Someone phoned me saying new government rules mean my house could be taken to cover care costs. I told them that’s nothing new, it’s always been like that, no changes recently. They hung up real quick, nicely enough. Definitely just a scammer trying to frighten me into buying some trust or something.

I’ve just received a phone call from these folks, claiming to be part of an estate planning assistance service.

I was questioned twice about whether I owned my property, and it felt like they were capturing my voice as I spoke.

Just like others have said, I got a call about some shocking BBC news concerning my house and care costs. I told the bloke he’s chatting to someone who knows what they’re on about and that what he was saying made no sense. Pretty obvious that was a scam call.

Got a robo call saying it was about estate planning, saying new government rules might make you lose your home to care home costs. I asked which rules exactly, and the call just cut off and restarted. Then when I rang back I got a voicemail for Lifeline Alarms and Pendants. Seems dodgy, probably a scam trying to phish info!

Had a similar call to the ones mentioned here. Someone rang me, saying there's worrying stuff about care homes. I said I'm not interested at all and asked them to take me off their list, though I doubt it will do any good even though I'm on the Telephone Preference Service list. I've now blocked the number anyway.

This bloke said he was calling about estate planning and mentioned some upsetting news on BBC or something like that. I cut in and told him it was just as upsetting getting a call on a number that’s clearly on the TPS. He didn’t argue after that and just wrapped up with a polite “good day.”

01438 5818 rang my landline with a bloke who talked real posh. I just let him carry on for a bit, no rush to reply. Then he started asking if I had plans sorted for care home fees or something like that, said he could help dodge those costs or something along those lines. Once he clocked I wasn’t playing ball and stayed quiet, he got a bit annoyed. I hung up and looked the number up here. Sure enough, scam alert. Blocked it, but I bet he’ll try again from another number soon enough.

I had a rather unsettling phone call earlier, purportedly from HMRC, warning me of impending legal measures because of a letter I apparently hadn’t replied to. I was then connected to someone on the other end-who seemed to have a foreign accent-who began probing for my name. When I pointed out that they had reached out to me first, she abruptly ended the call. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!

This number buzzed my phone repeatedly while I was fast asleep. Once I woke up, I tried calling back, and the voicemail informed me it was Lifeline Alarms. Quite baffling, as I've never come across them before!

Got a call today from this number, some guy claiming to be from health care, trying to sell a panic alarm for falls. I told him we weren't interested in any of those devices and he just said thanks and ended the call.

I phoned the number but was met with an answerphone from Lifeline Alarms. They’ve rung me a few times from various numbers, even though my landline’s on the TPS, so I’m not sure how they got hold of my details!

Got a call from 01438581778 and when I rang it back, it went straight to voicemail. Turns out it was Lifeline Alarms. They kept ringing me several times but from different numbers. What bugs me is they even called my landline, which I’m on the TPS list for, so they really shouldn’t have my number!
