Got a call claiming to be from ACCA and mentioned a refund. I was like, "Refund for what exactly?" Then they said something about PPI. Since I’ve never had PPI, I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.

I got a call from some place called ACCS in Manchester saying I was owed a payout, but the only way they'd send it was by cheque because they couldn't put it straight into my bank account. They actually asked for me by name and knew my address, which caught me off guard. Being a bit cautious, I didn’t give any info and asked the caller to prove who she was. She kept trying to push me for details, but eventually I told her I didn’t trust her and hung up. I’ve since blocked the number.

Big thanks to everyone who's shared warnings about these calls being from SCAMMERS pretending to offer REFUNDS just to trick people and steal their info. It’s awful that the firms we pay for phone services might be passing on our numbers to these crooks. They really shouldn’t be doing that.

Got a call from a woman with a Pakistani accent claiming I’d paid tax on some PPI refund. She was blabbering on about how they take 48% off any amount owed. I asked her to email me all the info so I could check for myself. If they do owe me anything, I want the full amount, not nearly half of it! Total scam if you ask me. The numbers to watch out for were 0161 738 1789 and 0161 738 1000.

The line was really noisy and crackly, made it hard to catch what the person was saying. Didn’t recognise the number at all. Ended up hanging up and blocking it. Felt a bit dodgy, especially since I’ve had quite a few calls from 0161 recently.

So I saw the number pop up but didn’t actually pick up since I didn’t recognise it and don’t really know anyone from Manchester anyway. After a bit of silence, the call just ended on their side. Bit strange if you ask me.

I received a call from this number claiming to represent Timeshare Assistance concerning some dubious Malta timeshare deal. They sure know how to put on a convincing act, but I can’t seem to locate any trace of this company online. I’m not keen on engaging with them any further-definitely has all the hallmarks of a scam, wouldn’t you say?

Today my missus got a call from a woman saying she was Maggie Armstrong from the financial conduct authority. She claimed the firm managing our timeshare in Malta had shut down and that all their staff had been let go. My wife told her I handle all that sort of thing, so Maggie said she'd ring back tomorrow. The number she called from was 0161 738 1789.

Had a call from a so called timeshare expert, they were really pushy about coming round to my house to 'help' me get out of my timeshare deal because apparently the company is failing. The whole thing was just set up a few weeks ago and not even officially registered yet. Definitely be careful with this one.

Was called a couple times by someone claiming my timeshare firm in Maita is going into liquidation, supposedly because the London High Court told them to pay back about 16,000 investors. They said I should get in touch with the consumer association for help. The lady on the phone sounded really pushy and when I mentioned the consumer association, she acted like she’d never even heard of it or that magazine.

I got a call from some company telling me that my name was on a register linked to a timeshare, and apparently the firm I bought the timeshare from is going bust. They said I could join a group with other owners but I’d need to travel to Majorca to get some legal advice. Smells like a total scam to me. I blocked the first number they called from, but now they’re ringing me from this new one instead.

They reached out to inform us that our timeshare had been sold under false pretences, claiming that both Azure and Golden Sands were facing liquidation, urging us to act swiftly to avoid losing everything. I requested that they call my husband the next evening so we could deliberate further, but they never followed up and we’ve been unable to get in touch with them since. We suspect this is yet another scam.

This particular number has been ringing me on multiple occasions now. Every time, the caller is tight-lipped about their identity but seems intent on rallying folks to join a class action aimed at disputing Azure Golden Sands. I’ve made it clear that I’m satisfied with my experiences and feel we’ve received good value for our money with discounted holidays-the investment has been worthwhile, in my opinion. The caller claims to have acquired my information from some supposed timeshare register, which I believe is a fabrication. It looks like the regulations regarding data protection don’t factor into their practices at all.

I've just had an unsolicited call from 01617381789, claiming he sourced our details from the Timeshare register. Quite amusingly, this comes on the very same day we received a dubious email offering assistance with our so-called "Timeshare troubles". I informed the chap on the line that we're registered with the Telephone Preference Service, and that he ought to take us off his list. Truth be told, we thoroughly enjoy our Timeshare - it’s been a fantastic arrangement for us. He continued to ramble on, so I reiterated that we weren't interested and ended the call. This cheeky fellow then had the audacity to ring back 5 or 6 times in quick succession - what a nuisance! It’s quite tedious, really. I couldn't be bothered to engage further this time, but mark my words, next time he’ll hear it from me in no uncertain terms!

I’ve come across this dodgy company, something like Luxury, who are being very cagey about how they’ve obtained our information. They claim it’s from the timeshare register, but we’ve looked into it and it turns out that register doesn’t even exist. They seem to be trying to entice timeshare owners into parting with their cash. What's worse, they refuse to put any details in an email or provide anything in writing. We’ve reached out to Citizens Advice, and they've referred us to the FCA for further assistance.

I recently went through the timeshare council to file a complaint about a timeshare that was wrongly sold to me. They helped me understand my rights and supported me in making a claim for the miss sold property. If you feel like you’ve been misled over a timeshare deal, I’d recommend contacting them - they really know what they’re doing.

I received a call from this number, with the caller asserting they’d obtained my contact details from the timeshare registration office. They proposed to connect me with a solicitor who could assist in extricating me from my timeshare agreement. Strangely, they would not dispatch any information via post or email. I’ve got a hunch that this could be the beginning of some dubious scheme, but I haven’t quite figured out the ins and outs of what they’re up to yet.

I keep receiving calls from this number, roughly two or three times daily for the past week. What's rather puzzling is that they never bother to leave a voicemail, and when I try to return the call, there's no reply either. It's rather vexing, to say the least! I'm contemplating blocking the number if this keeps up, though I’d like to confirm it’s not someone important before I take that step.
