They claimed to be from some group I couldn’t really catch the name of and kept going on about me having reported problems to my housing officer. Complete rubbish, if you ask me.

Got a call from 01615600956 on 19/6/2026 around 11:24 in the morning but didn’t answer it. I headed straight here to find out who it was. Luckily, my phone has a feature that blocks spam calls automatically.

I just let the call go to voicemail and of course, no message was left. Pretty sure it was just another scam attempt.

Have a look at the comments here. They talk about this super risky AI voice copying that loads of scammers are using now, on top of their normal tricks to nick money from bank accounts. There's also advice on how to report these scams to the police and OfCom, who’ve got official systems sorted out by the previous government to track down and handle these things. Loads of people in the UK who thought they wouldn’t fall for scams might’ve already had their voices copied without knowing it, so it’s important to be on guard against these new scams.

I got a call from someone saying she was Sarah with the housing repairs team about some issues I’d supposedly reported. I just ended the call straight away.

If you scroll down a bit, you’ll find some posts that really spell out what this scam is all about and how to handle it. They also give a heads up about the really scary AI voice cloning tech that’s becoming popular with scammers these days. Take a look at the one around 8 or 9 posts down - it’s super informative!

I got a call from 0161 560 0956 earlier, some bloke pretending to be from a housing association asking about a faulty oven. When I told him I’m not part of any housing scheme, he switched to a proper angry tone with a Mancunian accent and started threatening me, saying he’s got my number and he'll send others to “deal with me.” Didn’t hang about and reported the whole thing to the local coppers.

I usually just ignore calls from numbers I don’t know, and this one was no different. From what I can tell, it seems to be a scam; the person on the other end said they were from a Housing Association. My advice? Don’t pick up.

I got a dodgy call about a place to rent, so I just said I live up in the clouds to mess with them. Total housing scam for sure!

Old fashioned 'Housing Repair Scam' has been around ages. You can find tons of details about it on the web. Make sure you report every scam call you get, and watch out for the really risky AI voice cloning stuff these days. There's a couple of posts on this thread from yesterday and loads more down about seven posts that explain it better.

Got a call from some bloke claiming he was ringing about housing problems I’d apparently told my ‘housing officer’ about. Had no clue what he was on about, so I just figured it was a scam and decided to block the number.

They first tried saying there was an issue with my housing that I supposedly already mentioned. Totally a scam, no doubt about it.

Saw this number pop up, let it go to voicemail instead of answering. Looked it up on this site and it’s listed as a scam. Gonna block it now. It’s proper worrying because I’m dealing with housing issues at the moment, and if I’d answered, I might’ve been tricked. Feels awful how they target people who are already struggling.

Got a call from someone saying they were Sarah, claiming to be from the repairs department about an issue with my housing. Sounded fishy so I just ended the call straight away. Definitely a scammer trying to pull a fast one.

Stopping scam calls by blocking numbers is pointless since the scammers just use new ones to get through. People who aren’t careful can not only lose money from their bank accounts but also face the nightmare of having their voice copied. Lots of folks have no clue about this and might fall into the voice cloning trap, causing issues that last for years. If you want to be safe, have a look at all the posts down below for more details.

I got a call from someone claiming to be from a housing association, asking if my place had any mould or cracks. As soon as I said yes, they just ended the call. Felt a bit weird, like a scam or something.

Looks like a scam, best to just ignore this number!

Got a call from someone with a really thick foreign accent, could hardly make out what they were saying. They started asking me all sorts of personal questions about my day and stuff, felt pretty dodgy. Didn’t hang about, just ended the call straight away. Definitely sounded like a scam or spam.

I got a ring from this number earlier and my phone flagged it as a "possible nuisance," so I just let it go to voicemail. After checking out what others have said about it here, I reckon my phone was spot on. Blocked the number straight away.

I picked up my mobile when it rang and the person immediately asked, "How's your day going?" Seems like another one of those annoying scam calls. I didn’t bother responding and they just hung up straight away.

Sounds like a total scam to me - got a call about some Housing Association repairs but it was just a robotic voice, definitely not a real person. These sort of calls should be shut down for good and they shouldn’t be able to ring from UK numbers. Proper annoying!

Got a call from someone saying it was about housing repairs, but their English was really bad. I told him I couldn't make out what he was saying and straight up called him a scammer. I mean, why would a housing association from Manchester ring me when I live all the way down in Surrey? Seems dodgy to me.

Got a call about some housing repairs but the place isnt even a house, so pretty sure it was a scam.
