They keep ringing but just drop the call, real annoying!

I got a call saying I’d supposedly signed up to fund anti-knife crime books for schools. I told them I had no clue what they meant and then the woman just hung up on me! Feels a bit dodgy to me.

Back in March, someone told me I'd agreed to sponsor anti-bullying books for a school, but I don't recall agreeing to anything then. Now they're sending the books and asking for £160. When I said I never confirmed anything, they tried to push me, so I mentioned I'd review my recorded calls. After that, the woman just hung up. Feels like a total scam to me!

got a call from ems, some educational marketing supply company, claiming i’d signed up back in january to sponsor anti bullying books for schools. told them straight i never agreed to anything like that. they came back saying someone had spoken to me in january 2019 and printed 32 books with my name and business on them. i kept saying no way, i didn’t authorise any of it. then they just shrugged it off as ‘probably a mistake in our system’. looks pretty sketchy if you ask me.

somebody rang me saying i had supposedly agreed to fund safety booklets for a local school. they went on about how i didn’t want to commit to a yearly sponsorship but might be fine with just one year, and mentioned the books would be handed out during school assemblies. needless to say, i hadn’t agreed to anything, so i quickly googled the number and saw loads of similar stories. that really helped me put a stop to the call pretty sharpish.

This was just like loads of others I’ve seen on here. They rang up saying I supposedly funded some books back in January 2019, which obviously wasn’t true. Another dodgy scam to add to the list.

I got one as well, and yep, total scam.

Got a call from someone claiming to be EMS or some medical supplies company, but it was definitely a scam. They tried to trick me into believing I’d agreed to something back in January, which obviously wasn’t true. Just ended the call straight away!

someone rang up claiming I'd given the go-ahead for a kids' health and safety booklet sponsorship earlier this year - which I definitely did not! total scam!

Got a call saying our company had ordered some anti-knife crime book to be delivered to a nearby school, apparently costing £250. Definitely sounds like a scam, so watch out!

Absolutely despise those cold callers, they really are the scum of the worst kind.

Got a call from some educational marketing company thanking me, as a business, for sponsoring an anti-bullying booklet that would be given out at a school I supposedly chose. They offered a £40 discount if I paid today, knocking it down from £169.40. The lady mentioned they'd tried contacting me back in January 2019 and even sent confirmation by post, but honestly, I don’t remember any of this at all.

Heard loads of chatter and buzzing like a call centre, but nobody actually said a word on the line.
