Got these calls from some mystery number non-stop Thursday through Saturday, driving me mad! I’m a nurse and gotta keep my phone switched on, but these constant disruptions are too much. Ended up blocking them now.

Got a call from 01610980000, claiming they had my name and address and that they could help fix my credit score. They quickly started pushing for setting up a loan, but I was pretty taken aback when I told them I wasn’t interested in borrowing any money. Seemed like they weren’t expecting that at all.

Got a call from some Indian guy claiming to be from the credit commission. He kept telling me my credit score was 488, which is apparently below 500, and that I HAVE to fix it or I won't qualify for a car loan. Honestly, these scammers really ought to be shut down for good.

Got two calls today, first from an Indian lady then a man with an Indian accent. The bloke said something about my credit score dropping and that some Credit Commission had reached out to them to get in touch with me - total nonsense if you ask me. Told him to do one straight away. They gave it another go about four hours later but I had already blocked the number by then.

Got three calls from this number in less than two hours, each time with a different tale. Two times they claimed I had some money waiting in a packaged bank account but both times they hung up as soon as I asked which bank it was. The third call was about supposed PPI I’m due. Definitely a scam, I’ve blocked them now. Stay clear of these lot!

I got a call from these people today and when I asked who sent them after me regarding some supposed debt, they said it was my Dad. I told them he’s been dead for over a decade, and they replied with some awful comment like "yeah, he called from a cold place." Honestly, that’s the worst and most disrespectful call I’ve ever had.

Got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent claiming to be from the FCA's UK refunds team. He said I was owed £1425 for PPI. When I asked a few questions, he just ended the call - total scam, clearly.

I just got a call from this number, and the guy on the line said his name was John. But he sounded like he was probably Indian or something, so I told him that sounded a bit dodgy and ended the call.

I just dialled that number from my landline and it kept telling me it wasn’t a real number!! Definite red flag, looks like they’re masking their actual number using a 0161 code or something. Best to steer clear of it.

Got a call from some Asian bloke going on super fast about giving me £1500 for PPI, but he needed my bank info first. I just fed him some rubbish and he ended up hanging up. Total scammer!!!

Just got a call from someone in India claiming to be from a credit scoring firm. They said my credit score had taken a massive hit and offered to help me fix it. I told them straight up that I’m in finance and run my own company, so I don’t need their "advice" when they clearly had no clue about my actual credit status. Total scam, don’t trust them!

Got a call from 01610980000 this morning, just to see if the number was live, I think. When I picked up, the caller murmured a few things then hung up. They tried ringing again just now but I didn’t pick up, so I blocked the number.
