Said they were from MID solutions and wanted to chat about funding for printing. Who else would fund our printing apart from us? Feels like a complete scam. I handle all our printing contracts myself and always make sure we get a good price. Either it’s a scam or they just thought we were some huge business.

Got a call from this number on my phone earlier today. It showed up as a local Manchester landline so I was about to pick up, but then it flashed up "Potential Fraud" so I ignored it. Looked it up afterwards and seems like it’s one of those free boiler dodges. Free boiler? Not on my watch. I've blocked it now. Cheers for the heads up.

0161 241 3979 rings almost every day, so now I just pick up and put the phone down straight away before anyone can say anything. If it’s costing them money then good, I never wanted their call in the first place.

This number keeps ringing my home phone all day every day, makes me wanna just pull the plug. I've shouted and cursed at whoever it is to quit calling but no luck. Hopefully I’ve finally blocked them this time.

They actually had my name and mobile number which is pretty scary, they said they got it from some government database. It’s a scam about a boiler scheme, so just don’t trust them. I told them to stop calling and blocked the number right away.

Another scam call, I just hang up straight away and block the number every time.

Not really sure if this was a scam, i missed the call anyway. But my son works for a firm that does stuff like this, they said the government holds info on people who get benefits or have low income, and they contact them about claims they might be entitled to. Just be careful not to share your personal info right away.

I got a call from a company named Energy Suite claiming I might qualify for a free boiler. Nothing's ever really free though, there's always some kind of catch. When I began asking more questions, the bloke didn’t seem too happy with it. He was quite pushy, so I just told him I’d look into it myself, hoping that’d make him go away.

Got a call on my landline earlier. I usually ignore these now and then ring 1471 to see who it was. The number was 01612413979. I always check, and turns out it was some chat about a boiler scheme. Bit relieved I didn’t pick up.

Just got another call like that, asked where they got my info from and he said it was from some sort of database. When I asked why I should trust him, he claimed I qualify for a free boiler if mine’s over 7 years old. Honestly, they must think we’re all daft - nothing’s ever free these days.

About 10 minutes ago I got a call from 01612413979, it was a bloke on the line but his attitude made me check this number and see the comments here. The call was quite annoying, I ended up cutting it off since he wasn’t taking any of the advice I was trying to offer. On top of that, he called me by a surname I haven’t gone by in like 5 or 6 years!
