I got a call from some Indian bloke with a thick accent, asking about leaks at my place or something along those lines. Honestly, I couldn’t catch much of what he said. Feels like it was probably a scam to me.

Got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent, asking if there’s any water leaking in my place. He wanted to know if I was renting or the owner, and asked a few other questions. I told him yeah, there’s a leak, then he just said alright goodbye and ended the call. Bit sketchy if you ask me. He’s been ringing back loads, so I finally blocked the number.

Got a call from someone sounding Indian, total scammer. Stay clear, it’s a con.

Got a call from a guy with a thick Indian accent asking if I had problems with my house. When I tried to find out who he was or his company, all he would say was about property issues. Totally sounded like a dodgy scam and just talking from some script. Told him to take me off their list and blocked the number straight away.

Sounds like a scam call from India, I’d for sure block that number.

Got two calls within an hour from someone with a really thick foreign accent. They kept asking if there was any water damage or leaks in my home. I told them that was private and ended the call straight away.

Inquired about potential water-related issues at my property, such as dampness or any structural damage, and the reply I received was quite dismissive; he indicated it wasn't his concern and promptly hung up. This occurred after he called me two times in less than an hour.

I’m a bit uncertain since the call dropped before anyone had a chance to say anything. However, the sheer number of others looking into this number raises some serious red flags for me regarding a potential scam!

Had a serious Asian accent, sounded like he was talking about some kind of leaks in my place or something. Kept going on, sounded like he was just reading off a script and ignored what I asked him. When I told him to leave me alone and to stop wasting my time, he still wouldn't put the phone down. Really annoying.

Beware of fraudsters masquerading as a life insurance firm. They have a noticeable African accent.

I got a call from 01612431742, rang me a couple times. The bloke was asking if I had any holes in my walls, which sounded a bit odd. I ended up hanging up on them twice because his English was pretty dodgy. Felt like a total scam to me.

They called and sounded like they had an African accent, but I couldn’t really catch what they were saying so I just ended the call. No idea who it was.

I had no clue what they were saying at all.
