I am requesting a refund of £149.00 due to an overpayment for kitchen appliances, which includes the cooker, washing machine, and fridge. It was mentioned that these were from home appliance insurance covering the three items, and this transaction occurred back in December 2022. I made it clear that this was inaccurate, and my call was abruptly terminated.

I just had a rather concerning call from this number. An individual with a pronounced Indian accent rang my elderly mother, claiming she was entitled to some sort of refund and then went on to request her bank information. Thankfully, my mother had the foresight to hang up before giving anything away.

I received a call from a woman with an Asian accent regarding my internet service. I told her to cease her scamming attempts. She later checked into the number and confirmed my suspicions—it’s indeed a sleazy scammer. It baffles me why these people don’t just find honest work or, better yet, leave the country altogether.

Clearly, this is a dodgy call! It's baffling why BT hasn't put a stop to this number yet!

Received another dodgy call claiming to be from BT Openreach! They even went as far as using the same name as a previous call I had from a different number. Quite the cheek, really!

An Asian lady informed us that we had been billed an excess of £149 for some kitchen gadgets and was looking to issue a refund. I politely suggested she should leave us be, though I may not have been quite so civil about it.

A woman rang me about a kitchen gadget I bought not long ago, claiming I’d been charged an extra £149.99 and they wanted to reimburse me to my card. She asked if I still had the card I originally used, as they required the details. I couldn’t help but respond, “Let me put it plainly: P*** Off!”

I've received an automated call purporting to be from Visa, claiming that £1000 had been debited due to an online transaction, followed by an additional deduction of £900. It was definitely a pre-recorded message. Someone really needs to put a stop to these scammers!

I couldn’t believe the audacity of this bloke! He was the most unconvincing scammer I’ve ever had the misfortune to chat with. He claimed to represent my “kitchen gadget firm” and insisted that I’d been overcharged by £150 because of some supposed technical mishap. I straight up told him he was talking nonsense, and just like that – click – he was gone!

It seems we were supposed to receive a refund, and lo and behold, they requested our banking information. I decided to let him have a natter with the dog while I continued with my hoovering!

I received a phone call from this number, and the person on the other end claimed to be from Virgin Media, trying to peddle various offers. Curiously, when I inquired about why they were using a local number instead of the standard ones typically associated with Virgin, they abruptly ended the call. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!

I had a call from a woman with an Asian accent claiming to be from Sky broadband, which I found a bit puzzling since I don’t even use their services. I decided to humour her for a moment, but when I mentioned that I'm on the Telephone Preference Service, she abruptly hung up. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!

I received a call from a woman claiming to be from Microsoft, insisting there was an issue with my computer. When I mentioned that I didn’t own one, she hung up on me without hesitation. It’s quite unfortunate that these sorts of scammers aren’t apprehended and served long sentences in far-off facilities. They seem to get away with too much!

I can only echo what others have said before me. It’s rather frustrating that they don’t bother leaving any voicemail to explain why they’re calling. It certainly adds to the annoyance, doesn’t it?

Received a call earlier today, and there was so much racket in the background! The chap claimed to be from Microsoft, but I couldn't be fooled – I told him quite bluntly, 'You're not who you say you are' before hanging up. I've since added that number to my block list.

I picked up the call, but all I heard was silence. When I greeted the caller, I caught a fleeting glimpse of an Asian woman’s voice before the line went dead. Based on what I’ve gathered from earlier reports, this seems to be linked to some sort of scam activity.

Strangely enough, this was the second call I had that day from a regional number. Both calls seemed to disconnect before anyone had the chance to utter a word to me, which I find rather peculiar.

I received a call about fifteen minutes back from a number I didn't recognise. I tend to steer clear of answering calls from unknown numbers, so I won't be returning the call either. No voicemail was left, so it's a definite no from me! By the way, I'm based in North Wales.
