They claimed to be from We Connect You, then started talking about checking for damp in your house that the council supposedly ignored, which is odd since I own my place. It felt like a scam when they began asking for my personal info, so I didn’t share anything.

I keep blocking calls from Manchester numbers but then another one pops up from somewhere else! Always the same story about PPI, claiming tax back or whatever. The only PPI I ever claimed was about £38, doubt there’s much tax to get back on that! I just hang up straight away and keep blocking them.

These folks are linked to PPI firms. If you’ve got a PPI payout, chances are you’ve already forked out tax on it. They offer to reclaim the tax for you but charge at least 40%. You can easily sort this out yourself by going on the HMRC site. I’ve had more than ten calls from them, and every single time I tell them to buzz off, that I’ll handle it on my own and refuse to pay their crazy fees. I also ask them to remove my details, but a few days later, they ring me again from a different number, same company.

Every single day I get these scam calls. Since they’re using BT’s phone network, why doesn’t BT just shut them off? It’s really frustrating!

I've received numerous calls from this number, +44 161 768 2421, throughout the day. I’ve chosen to ignore them; if it genuinely mattered, they’d have taken the time to leave a message, wouldn’t they?

This lot are proper dodgy, total con artists. They said they were from some financial justice thing, claiming I was owed money from HMRC cause of a messed-up Barclays refund. When I asked for a reference number, they couldn’t come up with one. Then they started pestering me for my yearly income, saying HMRC needed it. I told them HMRC already has that info. I told them straight up they’re scammers but they wouldn’t quit. Just BLOCK them!!

I've received a couple of calls from this number, and they always hang up when I answer. They've also tried contacting me from a different number, 441611762418. It's been quite persistent, with four calls coming in over the past four days.

Got a call from someone claiming to be from money saving experts, said I’m meant to be getting a cheque soon. They wanted me to confirm my address and other stuff but I just ended the call cos it sounded like a scam to me.

I've received numerous calls that I’ve either missed or answered, only for them to cut off immediately. Not long after, I was hit with another call from a different landline, which turned out to be some automated message about a supposed car accident. I’ve since taken the step to block those numbers.

They keep ringing me but as soon as I pick up they just put the phone down.
