Got a call that started with a weird beep, then some lady with a foreign accent called herself ‘Laura’ and said she’d assist me with a life insurance claim. Turned out to be a total scam.

Got a call from someone claiming to be with Aviva about my life insurance. I told her I don’t have one, and she just hung up straight away.

A woman rang, said she was from Aviva life cover, sounded quite rude actually. She couldn’t get through my security questions so I told her to just send me something in the post instead. After that, she quickly ended the call.

Got a call claiming to be from an insurance company, trying to get me to give info about my life insurance. Sounds like one of those dodgy scams to me. Stay cautious, folks!

I keep getting calls from 01600 498917 and it's almost definitely a scam. They've tried different stories each time, sometimes pretending they're checking your credit or from some life insurance firm, all just to get your personal details. Best thing is to just ignore and block the number straight away.

Got a call from a different number but again some bloke from South Africa saying he’s with Legal and General! Mentioned some supposed review they’re carrying out, but honestly, who’d trust a dodgy company to handle that kind of thing by phone? Sounds like a total scam to me!

If they don’t leave a message, 99% chance it’s a scam call. Unwanted numbers ringing up like that are usually dodgy.

Really pushy, I just wanted to know where they had my details from and who they were, but they ended up shouting at me and spoke so loudly!

This is a bogus life insurance scam, best not to pick up.

Simwood eSMS, these guys clone numbers professionally. I didn’t pick up, but once I spot their number I block and report straight away. Mostly just annoying telemarketing calls if anything.
