Got a really irritating call, the person didn’t say a word and just ended the call abruptly. Proper dodgy and a bit scary.

Somebody rang me saying they was from National Works office and that I got a job in heavy industry. I just laughed it off, seemed like a complete con to me.

They’re now saying they’re from the National Works office. It’s a scam linked to insurance, and this time they’re targeting anyone who’s ever worked with heavy equipment.

Extremely impolite behaviour, and I'm uncertain whether it's a scam or merely a case of opportunistic lawyers.

Didn’t pick up, no voicemail either. I barely answer my phone these days, if its really urgent someone I know will leave a message. These calls are mostly just scammers.

I got a call from 0161 7685681 and they wanted to speak to my husband. I asked who it was a couple of times but before I could get an answer they just hung up. Feels like it was probably some kind of scam to me.

I received a call on my landline today, and the person on the other end requested to chat with my husband. After I pressed her for clarification on her identity on two occasions, she had the audacity to simply say, “Alright,” and hung up on me! It feels rather dodgy, if you ask me.

Some bloke said he was from the Industrial Industry Office, telling me I’d been doing hard physical labour according to their records. I told him to jog on and ended the call, I’ve no patience for these lot who try to scam folks.

They rang me like 6 times in just a minute, total nuisance. I don’t pick up on these scammers at all. Every time I block one number, they just ring from a new one. You'd think they’d run out of numbers to bother me with by now. More importantly, why aren’t the phone providers, like BT, cracking down on these muppets who target vulnerable people? BT, surely you have some control over who buys your numbers? Allowing loads of similar numbers to be used all at once should set off some kind of alarm, right? Get it together BT!

This number has called me a minimum of three times. Twice, there was nothing but silence, but on one occasion, they inquired about speaking to a Mr P******. Quite puzzling, as there isn’t anyone by that name here!

Just like everyone else seems to be saying, I’ve had numerous calls from this number, but they never pick up when I answer. The voicemail doesn't ever seem to work either, cutting off before I can leave a message. What a complete waste of time, eh?

A woman called saying she was from the Industrial Workers office, but the person she wanted wasn’t around. I didn’t hang up, but I guess she assumed I did because she started humming and then broke into singing 😂

Proper horrible! They started shouting and swearing just coz I didn’t want to play along. They’ve rung me up 5 times in the past 5 minutes.

My wife answered the phone when they called, and this young lady claimed to be a divorce solicitor wanting to speak to me because apparently, I'd left a message about getting a divorce. My wife was quite confused and handed me the phone. Then, the caller suddenly switched up and asked if I'd ever worked in an industrial setting. That’s when I figured it was a spam call, so I just went along with it, giving random answers until she got all mixed up and finally ended the call.

Got a call on my home phone (Wakefield). Let it ring through to voicemail but there was no message. After reading all the other comments, I’m gonna block the number if they ring me again.

Got calls from this number like 5 times today. Pretty obvious it's a scam. Didn't pick up since the number's blocked and marked as spam, now it just rings without me even hearing it 😂 they also called my landline with some recorded voice from HMRC saying I’ve got an arrest warrant!!
