Got a call from an Indian guy who said he’s from Liverpool. He was asking about repairs in my home and told me I might be eligible for something like £3000-8000 compensation for any damp or leaks. He asked loads of questions about the house and then wanted me to send photos and videos via WhatsApp to this number. He said his name was Adam. They also phoned me from this number, but sent messages through WhatsApp on the 161 number instead. 01513945457

Totally the same story as others here. They rang me at my work phone, and you could hear loads of background noise like a busy call centre. A guy asked if I had any problems with damp in my house. When I explained it was a business line, not a home number, he just cut the call straight away.

Without a doubt, this is a dodgy operation! The number they used to ring me is actually listed with the Telephone Preference Service. I’d advise blocking it immediately!

They kept ringing me nonstop, and I ended up falling over. I told them I couldn't stand up because I'm disabled. Definitely a scam about housing, coming from the same call centre. It’s one of those Amazon scams, I’m sure, I recognise the voice. I even had to phone someone to come help me off the floor. Seriously, these AMAZON housing scam calls need to stop.

Even though I’ve told them my number’s on the TPS list, I keep getting daily calls. They keep saying I asked for a repair, but I never did. If there’s anything wrong with the house, I’ll just contact the council because it’s a council property. Really annoying!

Here we go again, another scammer trying their luck with a call that looks like it’s from Manchester, but we all know they’re actually sitting in India.

It’s pretty disheartening, really.

Today at about 9:45 in the morning, I got another call on my home phone from 0161 526 1982. I didn’t pick up, but later checked and saw it was the same number again. No voicemail was left, but according to “Who called you...”, this might be scam linked to some housing association. Loads of others have commented saying the same thing. It’s gone so far now that folks like me, who are retired, refuse to answer our landlines unless the caller leaves a message with their details. These scam calls have just gotten way out of control recently.
