2 yearsI've received a call from someone posing as if they're representing the council, but I'm quite certain it's a scam.3 yearsI got a call from an Asian guy who wanted to discuss a repair job. I told him I wasn’t interested, but he got pretty pushy after that, so I just hung up on him.3 yearsIf you get a call from people claiming to be dealing with apartment problems and they sound Indian, just hang up. It’s usually a scam so dont get involved.India3 yearsTotally not professional at all!3 yearsHad a call just like others mention. A bloke with an Indian accent asking if I could assist him. When I asked who he was, he claimed to be from the Council talking about some issues with my tenancy. He even knew my full address, which really unnerved me. He kept going on about mould and damp problems, saying they’d fix it free of charge. We told him we don’t share any info over the phone, and then he just hung up on us. Total scam, since we aren’t tenants at all.Council3 yearsGot a call from a guy with a thick Indian accent, asking about any problems with my grandparents’ house - like damp or repairs needed. He claimed they worked above the council and housing agency, offering free repairs and said we could get up to £3,000 in compensation. He mentioned the phone line was faulty and said he’d ring back. So, I rang 1471 to check the number and found it was a dodgy call. When he called back, I told him outright it was a scam. He kept pushing, but I told him to remove my number and never call again. Then he just hung up on me.4 yearsI received a call inquiring about damage to my house-specifically water damage. They claimed they could assist tenants with property issues, although I’m actually the homeowner. Sounded dodgy, so I decided to end the conversation.4 yearsHad a really worrying experience with a call from someone claiming to be from a legal group that helps people in the UK with damp and mould issues. The caller had way too much info about me, stuff they definitely shouldn’t have, which makes me think there’s been a serious data leak somewhere. The bloke spoke with an Asian accent and the whole thing felt like a dodgy scam. Stay alert if you get called by anyone like this!UK4 yearsGot a ring from 01615231716 today. It was a bloke with a thick Asian accent, and it all seemed fishy to me. He said something about doing free repairs for damp and mould in your home - but I reckon it was a complete con. Definitely wouldn’t trust 'em!4 yearsThey keep ringing but all I hear is long beeps no message left and I have no idea who it is.4 yearsHe’s been ringing me daily, bleating on about some council housing compensation for repairs that haven’t been addressed. I’ve told him to pack it in, but instead, he just calls back even more frequently. Honestly, I reckon he’s a few sandwiches short of a picnic!4 yearsI missed a call earlier but there was no voicemail left. Whenever this happens, it’s usually a scam.4 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Indian accent who said his name was "Simon". The number was 0161 5231716. He rung my 91-year-old family member saying her house had big cracks and was falling apart - totally not true. He claimed he was appointed to get in touch to organise some repairs, warning that if nothing was done she'd get into trouble. Felt pretty dodgy to me.Simon4 yearsI got a call from a bloke with a really thick Indian accent, saying something about fixing mould or heating issues at no cost. He wasn't rude or anything, just kept pushing. I refused to give him any details like my name or where I live and told him not to ring me again since I wasn't up for it.India4 yearsActually missed the call but, after reading all the comments here, I’m pretty relieved I wasn’t able to pick up. They’ve rung me a few times before and each time I did answer, it was some sort of dodgy housing repair scam.4 yearsBeware of people pretending to offer housing repairs just to scam you.4 yearsBeen getting loads of calls about fixing stuff at my place. When I asked why they were so interested in my house repairs, the caller said his name was Sam. I told him I had no idea what he was on about and that I wouldn’t share any details with someone I don’t know. Definitely a scam. I've now blocked this number plus six others that did the same thing. Never ever give out your info to these people. If you do need work done, just chat to a trusted builder you know.Sam4 yearsSeems like a dodgy call about house repairs, wouldn't trust it. They kept ringing non-stop.4 yearsI got a missed call the other day, didn’t pick it up, but when it went to voicemail, the caller just hung up. Weird thing is, it usually happens right after I’ve been in touch with some other business who have my phone number. Feels like one of those scam calls for sure!4 yearsSo, I missed a call the other day and when it went to voicemail, the caller just hung up. Funny thing is, I usually get these dodgy calls from numbers like that right after I’ve been in touch with some random company who has my details!4 yearsHad another call from this bloke 'Sam' (thought I’d already blocked him ages ago!). He was chatty about issues in the house, mould and all that jazz. I decided to mess around and answered in a strong Indian accent - not sure he liked that much! Totally feels like a scam. Proper made sure to block his number for good this time!Sam4 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Indian accent offering free house repairs. Sounds dodgy to me, probably one of those scams.4 yearsThere was this guy with a really strong Indian accent who got proper rude with me. I just asked what company he was calling from, and he immediately started shouting all kinds of insults.4 yearsGot a call from an Indian guy saying his name was “Sam”. But when I asked for his full name, he quickly changed it to “Simon Jones”. He was trying to trick me with some “free” home repairs offer. Definitely a scam.SamSimon Jones4 yearsGot a call from a guy from India asking if there were any issues with my home, like mould or problems with the boiler. I just said no, everything's fine.IndiaSubmit Your Own Report (0161 523 1716)
