My elderly dad got a call from someone saidin’ Lucky. I came in part way through the call and just had to ask why the heck they were ringin’ him. Called them all sorts of parasites and told them I’d be reportin’ them to trading standards for botherin’ us.

My phone got a weird 15 second call with someone speaking nonsense in a language I didn't understand.

Got a call about my loft insulation supposedly being the cause of damp up there, and they were pushing spray foam as a fix. When I tried to ask a few questions, the person just wouldn't give me any proper answers. I mentioned that our landline is on the TPS list, and the caller just said "Alright, thanks, goodbye" and hung up. Since they've got our number now, I'm pretty certain I'll be getting another ring from them soon, maybe even later today.

I swear it sounded like a pre-recorded message. The voice was clearly a local English speaker, not some overseas call centre. It started off saying it was from my local energy supplier... and somehow they even got my address right, which honestly creeped me out. It was my landline ringing. I lost my temper and shouted a few choice words, but the message just kept going as if I wasn't even there. I really detest these calls... I'm well over 70, you'd think they'd have some respect? I’m now trying to figure out how to block this number for good.

Picked up the call and it went completely silent right away, so pretty sure it was one of those auto-dial scams...

Some bloke called saying he was my local energy advisor, which I found odd since Jo had already rung me earlier from an 0204 number pretending the same thing. When I mentioned this, he just hung up straight away. The whole scam seems to be about scaring you into thinking your loft insulation is unsafe and needs replacing. A few folks mentioned 0161 being a Manchester code, so it might be legit. But if you use BT or PlusNet, you can block these calls easily with 1572 at no cost. And yes, I’m on the TPS list, but they don’t seem to bother checking it at all.

Got a call from a number starting with 016 yesterday around 4:45pm, but I’ve got those area codes blocked since I don’t recognise anyone from there. If your phone has a blocking feature, I’d suggest putting 016 on the blocked list. Seems like some sort of loft insulation con because they’ve rang me three times now, each time with a slightly different number, just last three digits switching between 455 and 649. Proper dodgy stuff.

There was this bloke with a strong northern accent who called up offering a ridiculously cheap price to fix my driveway. I could tell straight away it was dodgy, so I just blocked the number and moved on!

Insulation scam, again. They do love changing their figures.

I never pick up calls from numbers I don’t know. The woman left a message, shouting in a really harsh tone, "Hello... (then a awkward pause) Just to let you know..." and then nothing else. Guess she realised she’d hit voicemail. Sounds dodgy and probably a scam to me.

Got a call from 01615600652 on 25th Feb 25 at around 4pm about loft insulation. The person never said their name and sounded like they had a really thick Cockney accent, like they were just reading from a script or something. I asked where they were calling from about 4 times and then on the last try, they just cut me off. Definitely seemed suspicious to me.

The call was just dead silent and they ended it, seemed quite dodgy to me. Feels like yet another scammer trying their luck. Honestly, I've had about eight calls like this in just the past three days and it's getting really annoying.

I got a call where first they said there was an important message for me, then they suddenly went silent. After a bit of quiet, they asked if I was okay, like they were fishing for a response. I never replied and the call just dropped. Definitely seemed like a scam.
