01617484810 rang me saying they were a third party with my details from AVIVA about some accident I supposedly had. I told them I had no idea about any accident and I’m not even with AVIVA. They accused me of lying and kept asking why. Then they said they were after a Mr Gordon. I asked who that was, and they said I knew him and was lying. I ended the call. No clue who they really were but the whole thing felt really intimidating.

I've made several attempts to block this particular number, but each time I call, there’s no response. Strangely enough, they seem to keep ringing me from similar digits. It’s quite the never-ending battle!

Fraudulent group trying to scam people.

My phone went off, another one of those life insurance scams. I had my parrot answer, and Victor from some firm was on the line. Didn’t look like he wanted a chat with the bird though lol. Anyway, I’ve blocked the number now.

I dont normally pick up calls from numbers I dont know unless they leave a voicemail - which this one didnt. So I looked it up here and glad I didnt answer, theres just so many scammers popping up these days.

My partner picked up and they mentioned a company. When he asked what the company was all about, they said they wanted to speak to me instead. He told them no way until they explained what the business was, and then they said they’d ring back later. Thinking of just blocking them now!

Got a call from someone claiming to be Ellis Lloyd policy review team. Searched online but found zip about them, so pretty sure it’s a scam. Blocked the number straight away.

I'm really fed up with these calls, they ring me loads of times every day. I've told them a million times to take me off their list but they just keep ringing even after I block the numbers. They keep switching a few numbers around but it’s always the same company. It’s insurance sales.

I figured it was probably some kind of sales pitch, so I let them talk first. They stayed silent and then just ended the call. Definitely not a good sign.

Got a call from this number, chatting rubbish about checking up on my life insurance and all that. Told them I’m fine with what I’ve got and they just cut me off! Proper rude behaviour.

Unknown caller, but I couldn’t call back because the number I got was marked as ‘wrong’; funny how it only works one way!

Got a call saying they were from some life insurance review group. I asked who allowed them to have my number and told them to delete it from their list. They then played hold music, so I just ended the call.

No clue who these lot are or what they want, they ring up multiple times a day sometimes. Bit of a pain to be honest.

Apparently calling from a somewhat recognisable insurance firm with ‘loyd’ in the name. They should seriously face legal action for ringing TPS listed numbers and trying to sneakily say their calls are just “information” not “sales” pitches. Such dodgy tactics!

Yeah, they rang me up. I asked them where they found my number, but the bloke just said no and then hung up on me.

total scammers, no one should answer these calls.

Got a call saying there’s a warrant out for me. Sounds like one of those HMRC scams that’s been going around with similar numbers. They left a voicemail, but it ended abruptly with a robotic voice telling me to ring an 020 number (looks like the same or close to one I saw before) to sort it out. Funny thing is, this all started a couple of weeks back and no one’s turned up yet. Quite the urgent matter, eh?

I picked up the phone and greeted the caller three times, but there was only silence on the other end. Suddenly, I was blasted with a piercing sound before they disconnected. I’m absolutely fed up with these intrusive calls. They invade both my mobile and landline multiple times daily. The government promised to tackle this issue, yet it seems they’ve done nought, and the problem has only escalated. It’s high time these scammers faced serious penalties and were put out of business for good!

calls end before you can pick up. ive had this happen to me before and i’m not linked to the 0161 (manchester) area code at all.

They called once and never tried again, no message left either. I haven’t had any dealings with a Manchester company lately, so it's probably some rubbish call from an Indian or Pakistani call centre. Proper annoying and clueless, honestly.
