3 yearsSomeone rang me saying they were from Housing Disrepair. Thing is, that’s a government office that doesn’t call people out of the blue. I checked Trustpilot and it all looked fishy. They acted like they knew my last name and where I live, but that info isn’t even on the public electoral roll. Also, the person didn’t sound like they were from Bolton at all, and kept calling me “Ma’am” in a weird way. Suspicious if you ask me.Housing DisrepairBolton3 yearsA guy from India rang me up and was asking if I was having any trouble with my home or my health, but honestly, his accent was so thick I could barely catch what he said. When I tried asking who he wanted, he didn’t seem to have a clue and kept calling me "ma'am" over and over. Pretty strange call!3 yearsToday I got a call from this number, and the guy said his name was Omar, talked about some housing stuff. His accent was really hard to understand, so I just ended the call.Omar3 yearsDodged a bullet there, turned out to be one of those dodgy call centres from India or Pakistan.
