This number called me claiming they were 2F from Wescott Credit, trying to verify address info for a client. I looked them up on their official site and saw it matched. After some hesitation, I answered their security questions and it turned out they were checking on an old Barclays account of mine. I gave them my current address, and a few weeks later Barclays contacted me about money owed related to a complaint from ages ago. Quite the surprise!

Got a call telling me I had an unpaid PayPal balance dating back to 2004 linked to some iCloud email. Thing is, I didn’t even get an iPhone until 2015, so no way I had that email back then. They started grilling me for old addresses, so I threw out a made-up one, and oddly they said it matched. Feels like a dodgy scam to me. Also, I barely use PayPal and just checked my account - everything’s perfectly fine.

I got a call on my Hull landline from some dodgy scammer, but I didn’t pick up. Later, they rung someone I know, speaking with an Indian/Pakistani accent, asking questions about me using my last name. These scammers are really dangerous, and I’m definitely going to report them to the UK police who handle fraud and phishing. Proper nasty criminals, watch out!

Got a call from S2 services, they started asking for my name and then mentioned an old address I used to live at. They claimed it was for some client, but when I wanted to know who exactly, they tried to put me through a security check. Felt kinda dodgy, so I just ended the call. Really happy I looked it up here first!

Got a call claiming to be from F2 location services. They already had my name and previous street address. They asked me to confirm my full name and my current address so they could pass it on to their "client" who would then send me something by post! Seemed a bit dodgy so I didn’t give any info, and they wouldn’t tell me who their client was. Looks like a scam after a quick check, so I’m happy to just block the number and move on with my day...

Got a scam call today, 26/5/23, they wanted me to confirm my address and postcode, then tried to get my date of birth. I wasn’t comfortable sharing that info. The call sounded really bad, like there was an echo or something, so I asked if they were using some kind of voice changer app, which made me even more suspicious. When I refused to give out any details, they said they were from Barclays. I just told them I don’t even have an account with Barclays and ended the call and blocked the number straight away! Definitely a scammer trying to steal personal info from people.

Got a call today (26/5/23) from someone pretending to be from Barclays, asking me to confirm my address and postcode. Then they tried pushing me for my date of birth. The call quality was awful, all echoey and weird, so I asked if they were using some voice-changing app. Felt dodgy right away. I refused to share any personal info, and when they said they were from Barclays, I told them I don't even have an account there. Ended the call and blocked the number straight away! Definitely a scam trying to fish for personal details.

A woman rang claiming to be from Westcott, which I know is a genuine debt recovery agency, but she said she was calling for Barclays’ back office team. She mentioned my previous address, and I told her Barclays actually has my new one. She kept insisting it wasn’t about anything recent. I repeated that Barclays holds my current address and can check my full credit history if needed. She got a bit rattled and then just ended the call! Feels like it was likely a scam.

I received a call from the number 01482590500, and the individual on the other end inquired whether I had ties to one of my previous addresses. They claimed to be acting on behalf of Barclay Bank, stating they had lost track of me and required some information. Oddly enough, their knowledge of my former workplace - which dates back three decades - seemed rather scant. Consequently, I found myself divulging details to them based on the limited information they had. It turns out they are a debt collection agency, and I must admit, this has left me feeling quite uneasy. I haven't heard back from them since, but I am genuinely worried, especially since I have no debts to speak of. In hindsight, I really should have cut the conversation short. It was incredibly stressful! Just a word of caution, stay alert!

I just had a rather unsettling call from this number. The person on the other end claimed they were representing a company I've had dealings with in the past but mentioned they'd somehow lost touch with me. When I inquired about which company it was, they insisted on asking me some security questions first. I wasn’t comfortable with that and declined to respond. They then informed me that they couldn't disclose any information without my answers, citing the security data regulations. I'm left wondering how they even managed to get my home phone number. This whole situation has been quite stressful.

I’ve been pestered relentlessly by this number, as well as a couple of others that claim to represent a different firm. They insist that when the original company is inundated with inquiries, they hand off the information to these callers. Honestly, I have no intention of disclosing any personal details over the phone, which is clearly their aim. I’m debt-free, so if they were truly legitimate, they could simply send me a letter through the post instead, couldn’t they? This situation has left me utterly furious!

Wescot has made their rounds to the neighbours this afternoon, but to be honest, we're left utterly baffled as to why they’re poking around our street. I haven’t received a single letter or a phone call about whatever this situation is. It’s rather embarrassing, to say the least, especially since it appears these chaps have left their contact number with our neighbours, who now seem to think we're tangled up in some debts that we simply don’t acknowledge. What on earth is the next step in all this?

A rather eloquent lady has been ringing us up, seeking someone who shares our last name. To be honest, I've never even heard of this person they're after. It's clear we're not easily fooled, and I reckon she picked up on that pretty quickly, hence her abrupt withdrawal. Honestly, do they think we've just come down from the moon? Keep your wits about you, folks. Stay safe and take care.

When I inquired about what they were after, they mentioned some other address that just happens to share our name.

To be honest, we have no clue what they’re rambling on about since the address they’re referring to is completely foreign to us.

We recently received an absolutely dreadful phone call from some rather unsavoury characters. Honestly, someone ought to do us all a favour and report them. The chap on the line was incredibly crude, calling us "darling" and making suggestive remarks as if we have an appetite for all sorts of innuendo when, truth be told, we just fancy a good sausage! We’re completely baffled as to who this person was attempting to reach; we made it clear we didn’t know them. Yet, she persisted with, “Oh, let’s have a little chinwag anyway, darling.” It was quite the experience, and her accent had the unmistakable twang of the North.

Just received a phone call from an ex-neighbour of mine, you know? He was rather curious about where we've relocated to. However, upon realising it was me, he had no clue who I was! Thankfully, the chap had the foresight to ring 1471 and track down our number. But honestly, is there not some sort of regulation against snooping around for neighbours' contact details and cold-calling them? This certainly seems to clash with the Data Protection Act, if you ask me!
