A stranger rang me earlier today, babbling on about my credit card arrears or something along those lines. He was prying far too much into my personal affairs, so I decided to cut the conversation short and hang up. Subsequently, I blocked his number. Clearly, this chap is up to no good!

I keep getting calls from this number and every time I pick up, they just hang up straight away.

Got a call from this number but it just cut off straight away. Tried to call it back a few times, but all I get is a busy tone.

I tried ringing back but all I got was a busy tone after missing a call from them.

These people are total scammers, I really hope they get what's coming to them.

I keep getting calls from this number no matter what. Tried blocking it and everything but it just won’t stop ringing. It’s driving me nuts!

Mate, I get what you’re sayin’, but honestly, just put those numbers on block. Simples. Cheers!

Got two calls from this number earlier today. I picked up both times but the person just ended the call straight away. Watch out, could be a scam.

Keep getting calls but no clue who’s on the other end every time it rings.

Keeps ringing me up non stop.

I’m pretty sure these calls are coming from Wimbledon Guild of Social Work, Need More Time, or Commsave - they all share the same Board of Directors. Need More Time Limited is actually a branch of Wimbledon Guild at 32 Worple Road, Wimbledon, London (either SW19 or SW20). They’ll ring you up to seven times a day using different phone numbers. One of their social workers got disbarred because of making nuisance calls, stealing mail, and cancelling financial agreements like overdrafts and payday loans, trying to force people out of their homes. That includes me, even though I only owe £100 on a credit card from last week. I work temp jobs and have health issues like diabetes and hepatitis. They ring me all hours - like 8am, 10am, midday, then again late afternoon and even at 1:30am once. They seem to do it purposely, pretending they’re debt collectors, and sometimes call 14 times over just a few days. They’ve even called from Gujarat a few times, using mobiles, but lately the numbers show up as Manchester and Liverpool. The disbarred social worker’s family works in Manchester, so maybe they’ve got too much time on their hands. There’s another social worker with Conditions of Practice in place. These harassment calls, the mail stealing, and messing with my finances started back in August 2019. The second social worker has lost more than six tribunals with Social Work England since August too. The first one is still disbarred until February 2022, mainly over mail theft and constant calls to my new mobile since August 2020, and cancelling a payday loan after I got a temp job back, leaving me with no money for days to even buy food. I lost work because of it too - you just can’t do night shifts properly if you’re diabetic and starving. Thankfully, Mum sent me a £100 birthday cheque because I only had some rice and lentils at home and was feeling poorly with a cold.
