1 yearGot a call from a bloke named Chris who claimed his company was doing insulation work nearby. When I asked him what part of town, he just hung up on me. Definitely sounds dodgy to me.Chris1 yearI kept getting calls from this number; I reckon it was something to do with windows. Proper annoying! I seriously need to figure out how to block them.1 yearThis number has tried ringing me a few times already but I never answered. Pretty sure it’s just some kind of scam.1 yearGot a call from someone saying they were Chris, some energy advisor - total scam, just block it straight away!Chris1 yearWas waiting for an important call but had trouble getting around to answer. When I finally checked, no voicemail left. Used "Who Called Me" to check the number and turns out it’s tied to an energy scam from Manchester. Cheers to "Who Called Me" for the heads up.Manchester1 yearGot a call again but the person just ends it as soon as I pick up.1 yearThey didn’t even bother to leave a voicemail, seems pretty clear this was a scam, so I’ve blocked the number now.1 yearThis bloke sounded like he was trying to be a secret agent, asking if I was home. I had just changed some money into euros a couple of hours before, so I half-expected the call. Maybe this is their way of catching a few dodgy characters, who knows.1 yearSo, it turns out the call was from some firm named Windows and Doors Direct or something like that.WindowsDoors Direct1 yearI doesn’t recognise any numbers with this code, so I didn’t pick up the landline. Thought it was probably just some kind of phone spam.1 yearI let it ring a few times and then the person just hung up without saying a word, even though the answerphone was on.Submit Your Own Report (0161 249 9566)
