This morning, I received a phone call from a woman who had quite a pronounced accent. She seemed rather keen on discussing health care matters and insisted that I complete some sort of questionnaire. To be honest, I wasn't in the mood for any of it, so I decided to end the call. However, she persisted with her attempts to reach me afterwards.

Woke up to two calls from 01616603239 today but didn't pick up. No messages were left either. Definitely going to block this number.

He claimed to be calling from a British government office or something similar. Asked me to verify my full name, phone numbers and address, even though he seemed to already know some of that info. When I pointed out he got a few details wrong, he just hung up on me. Definitely seemed fishy, like a scam to me.

This morning, precisely at 9 o'clock on that unfortunate Monday, 31st August 2020, I received a rather dodgy call from 01616603239. They were peddling some sort of emergency health insurance, which I quickly realised was nothing but a scam. After I ended the call, I attempted to ring the number again, but surprise, surprise - it turns out the line was dead and the person was nowhere to be found!

Some woman with a super thick Asian accent kept pushing me, not taking no as an answer at all. In the end, I just had to hang up on her.

They keep ringing but nobody picks up, which is really annoying especially since I can't easily answer right now. Feels pretty frustrating being stuck like this.

Somebody called me, tryin to sell somethin, probably thinkin I was an easy target cuz of the whole corona thing. They defo knew I’m 80 and on my own. I ended up tellin them they’d have to send me any info through the post.

I received a call from a woman claiming to be a healthcare professional, seeking answers to some queries. It had all the hallmarks of a scam. If you engage with them, they tend to ring back a week later with all sorts of threats. So, I’ve taken to providing them with fictitious details just to keep things amusing.

After a brief pause, a soft Asian-accented female voice came through. She claimed to be from some health group in the UK but mumbling made it hard to catch the exact name. She asked if she was speaking to me and whether I was in my fifties, sixties, or seventies, saying it was some health-related survey. I tried asking her what org she was with, but she ignored that and just started asking the same questions again. I ended the call pretty quickly. Definitely seemed like a dodgy scam to me.

I picked up the call but stayed silent, and eventually, they clocked on that it was pointless and hung up. Down in Sussex, UK.

I received a call from a woman who had a distinct foreign accent, inquiring about my thoughts on a particular aspect of UK healthcare. When I started to ask her some questions, she abruptly ended the call. Quite peculiar, if you ask me.

What’s with the bizarre health queries that also delve into whether you’ve got a security system? Quite peculiar, if you ask me! Do me a favour and jog on! - Bexhill, Sussex

On 26th Aug 2020 at around 12:44, I got a call from 0161 660 3239. After a bit of quiet, a faint Asian sounding voice asked if I was by a certain name, which I never confirmed. They wanted to hear my thoughts on safety or something like that. The caller never said who they were. I just said no thanks and ended it there.

About ten minutes ago, I got a call from a woman with an Indian accent who claimed it was for some sort of health survey. She asked for our ages, which I wasn’t comfortable sharing, so I told her no. She quickly hung up after that. Seems like it was most likely a scam to me.

It felt like I was chatting to someone from an Asian call centre. They mentioned wanting to get my input regarding my healthcare journey or something along those lines. The queries they posed seemed somewhat sensible at first-like if I lived on my own and if I was on any medication-but it all had a whiff of something fishy. So, I decided to end the conversation courteously. Resident of Wolverhampton.

Got a call saying it was a survey from the UK health service, I asked if they were calling from India but the person insisted it wasn’t that kind of call. Suddenly she just hung up before I got a chance to say anything else.

We got a call from this number claiming to be from the national health. They said it was for a health and safety survey where you just answer yes or no. At the end, they mentioned that a doctor would ring back sometime next week, around 3:85, which sounds a bit odd to me.

Got a call one time from a woman asking about my age and health and stuff. She said her boss would be calling me back to verify the info. Then the “manager” rang, claiming to be from some national health agency, talking about the government providing devices to wear if ever needed. Sounded off, right? Then they asked for my card details - they knew the name on the card but wanted the expiry date. Total scam. Had two different calls like this in one day, seems like these scams are just ramping up. Not everything's working out as it should.

I got calls from 016166032390 and 333440000, both with the same person on the line saying that since I’ve supposedly paid for some device service cover, I need to ring the number they gave to renew it. The number was given really fast and was hard to understand. Definitely feels like a dodgy scam trying to get your personal details. Watch out for these kinds of calls!

Got a call from this number earlier today but didn’t get a voicemail on my answerphone, so I figured it probably wasn’t anything urgent, just like others here have said.

Got a call from this number earlier but they didn’t bother leaving any message, so I guess it wasn’t anything urgent. Don’t know who it was, so probably just some annoying telemarketer or one of those usual scams. I’ve gone ahead and blocked it now.

I've been receiving incessant calls from this number, haranguing me about a support service I never signed up for. They're making threats of legal action and even trying to pry my bank information out of me. It would be great if the authorities could be alerted to this situation.

I received a call from 0161 6603239 where the person on the line mentioned an existing agreement, insisting it was still valid, and that I needed to pay a forthcoming charge of £299.99. Apparently, if I wanted to opt out, there was a “specific process” I’d need to adhere to. Honestly, it all felt rather fishy to me.
