At work, I got a call on my direct line. I picked up but said nothing. After a brief pause, they just hung up.

I didn’t answer at first cause I wasn’t in the mood to leave a voicemail to figure out who it was. Then, within like ten minutes, a call came through again from a number that looked pretty much the same.

This has all the signs of a scam. I've already registered with the Telephone Preference Service, so nothing legit should be calling. Definitely put this number on your block list.

Got a call on my home phone but the person didn’t say anything. I rang back and left the answering machine on, but no message was left. When I phoned them again, they answered but stayed silent, then just ended the call. Seems dodgy to me. Feels like it could be some kind of scam.

Got a call from someone saying they were with "UK Housing". They wanted to know if my place had any mould or damp issues and if I was renting through the Council or a Housing Association.

Got a call from this number earlier. I only knew the area code, the rest of the digits were unfamiliar. I keep a list next to my phone so I compare the full number whenever someone calls. If it’s not on there, I just don’t pick up.

I got a call from them, they said they knew about problems like damp and damage in the property, then asked if I could confirm whether my place had any issues like that.

Today, 11th October 2023, my landline rang twice from this number. I picked up but there was silence on the other end. A while back, my mobile got repeated calls from a lady asking about my loft... which is odd because I don't have one. I told her that and she hung up. Then she kept calling a few more times over the next days. The voice sounded quite similar, maybe a Mancunian accent, but I couldn't be completely sure. I found out the calls to my landline were from 0161 5261857, which is a Manchester area code according to 1471. Seems like the same person keeps trying!

I wasn’t home when they called, and since there was no voicemail left, I reckon it’s probably some dodgy number.

Got a call from 01615261857, and I’m pretty sure it’s a scam pretending to be from UK Housing. The person on the line had a strong Asian accent and their English was really bad. They were asking weird questions about mould and damp in my home. Definitely sounded fishy to me.

This morning I got a call from 01615261857, some bloke claiming to be from UK housing repairs. He said they fix any damage in your home for free, and if you’re not happy, they’d pay you a month’s rent. I mentioned I had mould problems and he asked me to send pictures via WhatsApp. I refused and said I’d email them instead. Even after giving my email, they kept pushing for WhatsApp pics. Eventually, I told them off and said don’t bother calling my landline again, cos I’m not falling for their scam, I know better than that.

On Friday the 22nd of September 2023, at about 10:58 in the morning, I got a call from this number. The connection was really unclear, and the only word I caught was “hello,” spoken with what seemed like an Asian accent. I couldn’t make out anything else, so I ended the call. After that, I tried dialing 1471 two times to check the caller’s number, but both times, the person on the other end just hung up. I have absolutely no clue why they were ringing me.
