Every time I pick up, it just cuts the call. Then I get a call from a diff number and it does the exact same thing, just ends straight away.

My elderly father, who is 87 and suffers from Alzheimer’s, received a call suggesting he could claim compensation from the council or housing association due to unresolved maintenance issues.

This number rang me saying they were from the local council repair service, even mentioned the council name. I asked why they were calling from Manchester when I’m in Hertfordshire, and they said they have an office there. That didn’t sound right to me as I know they’re nowhere near Manchester. I told them I didn’t believe a word and ended the call.

Got a call about some survey, and when I asked which company they were representing, the person couldn’t say straight away. It took ages for them to answer. Then they blurted out life insurance. When I pressed if she even knew the company she worked for, she just hung up on me! Seriously, how do they not feel guilty?! You could hear a proper call centre noise in the background! They must be scamming loads of people every single day!

An absolute nuisance of the highest order! It all started with her feeble attempt to inquire whether I was someone or the other. Then, without so much as a word, this Asian woman just hung up on me. I thought I’d leave my phone line open in hopes that my patience would somehow serve to irritate her as much as her call does me!

TOTALLY a scam. They were after my bank info saying I’d ‘won a prize’. Seriously? I do take part in the lottery he talked about, but not lately, and that’s definitely not how you get prizes. Pretty dodgy, SCAM for sure.

Not sure what that was about. The woman was asking specifically for someone who had the number over three years ago. When I tried to explain and told her to fix her details, she just snapped, saying "Oh f#### off, you idiot!". Honestly can't believe it. No clue what she said to my little lad who picked up and gave me the phone!!

Got a call from the same Leeds area code half a minute before, so I managed to check the number quickly. They wanted to talk about my life insurance premiums. When I told them I’d already looked the number up and found it dodgy, and said scamming folks during a pandemic was seriously cruel, she just kept calling me names like ‘you’re a bitch’ on repeat. Mind, I wasn’t rude or raised my voice. I simply said I hoped her family was proud of her and then ended the call.
