Classic phishing attempt, they’re using old info to try and fool you. If you’re worried about what they’re talking about (like universal credit, rent stuff), just get in touch with your landlord or universal credit office. Don’t hand over any details to these dodgy callers!

It showed up as my landlord Jigsaw Homes in Tameside but the number started with 0161 331 and they said they needed to discuss my rent account, even though I’ve paid ahead... I told my landlord and they’re checking it out, but I reckon it might be one of those Universal Credit scams.

Just got a call on my landline at 3.48pm on 2/11/20 from a bloke named Ajan. He was banging on about some government boiler scheme, but there was loads of noise in the background before he even started. I hung up right away (number was 0161-768-5686). Pretty sure it’s just another scam!

They call me every day but never bother to leave a voicemail. I rang back one evening and it said the number was "disconnected". When I tried again the following day, it was just "busy". Feels a bit dodgy to me, like they’re shutting the line down after hours on purpose. Most likely some kind of scam.

Seeing this number marked as risky and no one knowing who it actually belongs to, I’m gonna block it now. Looks like Sussex isn't safe from this either. I’m always cautious with unknown callers! If it was something important, they’d leave a message. Honestly, whoever you lot are, just get lost and try earning an honest living without messing about with people!

Got a call today around half one on my wife's mobile asking if we'd had a mortgage anytime in the past 15 years. I picked up and noticed he was calling me by the wrong first name straight away, so I figured it was dodgy. Didn't give him any details at all.

Got a missed call alert from 0161 768 5686 but no voicemail or anything.

Pretty sure it's just another annoying cold call (I thought those were banned these days?).

I rang back using 141 to hide my number and got an automated voice saying the call was from M&SHMH International. It said press 5 if I wanted to stop future calls, but when I did, it just hung up.

Tried googling the company but nothing came up except some similarly named firms. Bit fishy if you ask me.

Got a missed call alert on my phone from 0161 768 5686 but no voicemail left. Looks like one of those cold calls (I thought they banned those?). I dialed 141 before calling back and got a recorded message saying it was from M&SHMH International, and if I didn't want any more calls I should press 5. When I pressed 5 it just hung up on me. Tried googling the company but couldn’t find anything solid, just some names that sounded alike.

Got a missed call alert from 0161 768 5686 but no voicemail or anything. Sounds like one of those annoying cold callers (aren't those banned nowadays?). Tried ringing back with 141 and got an automated reply saying it was from M&SHMH International, with an option to press 5 to stop further calls, but pressing 5 just hung up on me. Searched online but couldn’t find that exact company, only similar-sounding names. Anyone else heard of M&SHMH International?

A bloke rang me about some payment I might get if I’d worked in a certain industry and my hearing was damaged. I did work in that industry. He said I had to be under 78, which I am. Then he mentioned an audio test at some place in St Helens, but the name he gave had actually changed a few years back. That’s when I clocked it was a dodgy call, so I just ended it.

I tried calling the number back and it came up as M&SHMH International. There was a recorded message telling me to press 5 if I want to stop getting calls from them. I'm gonna give it a go and see if it actually stops them. Hopefully this helps others dealing with the same thing...

I’m not one for picking up numbers I don’t recognise, so I didn’t answer when they called the first time. But then they rang again the next day and I picked up. The bloke had a Mancunian accent and already knew my name, asked me to confirm it, which I did - then he hung up without saying who he was. I’ve tried tracking where they’re calling from but all I can tell is it’s somewhere around Manchester. Just today, I missed a call from a new number in the same area - it’s a bit spooky if I’m honest.
