Got this call but my call blocker flagged it straight away, so I’m pretty sure it was a scam.

I got put through to the voicemail and before I could even leave a message, they just cut the call.

There was just silence on the other end before they suddenly disconnected, so I’m not really sure how to properly label this call.

This is just like what others have said before. They say sorry if you mention the TPS but that’s not what matters. The government’s tech team should put a stop to this, they have the means to do it. Everyone ought to contact their MP and push for it to be made illegal. In China they’d just track you down, find you, and sort it with a bullet, problem fixed. Until we get that kind of efficient solution, just tell them to buzz off and then block their number!

Got a call from this bloke, asked him straight up for his phone number which turned out to be 08000662507, not the one showing up on 1471. Then I wanted to know his boss’s name, a woman apparently, and right after that he just cut the call. Proper scammer, total waste of space.

Been getting calls from what sounds like a scam, saying they're gathering info for the UK healthcare system. Reported it to Ofcom and TPS but they don’t seem bothered to do anything about it. Really frustrated how useless the regulators are at stopping these annoying calls.

I asked if they could tell me their number, and after a bit, a guy with a foreign accent answered, asking “what’s the issue?” I told him there wasn’t any problem, just wanted his number. Next thing, he just hung up. That’s all it takes! Whenever this happens, I usually say I need to see if their number is on my scam list - that usually does the trick every time. Happy Christmas to everyone!

I received a call from someone with a South Asian accent, who claimed to represent a government health department and wanted me to participate in a survey. However, as soon as I hesitated to confirm my phone number, he abruptly ended the call. Interestingly, this same number had rung me the day before, but when I answered, there was no one on the line. Quite suspicious, I must say!

got a call earlier that showed an international number then it switched to a manchester area code. this was the second time today. the person on the line had a strange accent and claimed to be from uk healthcare asking for some details. i explained that i’m a retired health & safety consultant and am on the telephone preference service, so i shouldn’t be getting calls like that, thanks. he did say sorry in the end.

There was the normal hesitation when I picked up, followed by some dull chit chat. Ended up just putting the phone down at 1572.

They must be spending loads just making all these pointless calls without even explaining what the scam is about!

Got a call from this number but no one picked up, just dead silence. Feels like one of those dodgy scam calls, so I’ve just blocked it. Proper annoying!

Was putting up my Chrissy decs on the ladder, just got down and caught the phone before it stopped ringing. And what d’ya know? No one there at all! Could’ve easily fallen and hurt myself rushing to get it. Some people are absolute p##s for doing that.
