0161 768 5705 rings my home phone at exactly the same time daily. I finally picked up, and they started asking if I’d been in a crash, to which I said yes. They then went on to ask more about it, the last question about what injuries I got. I told them I was dead and they were actually chatting to my spirit. They told me to f### off and just ended the call.

Said they were from the 'Industrial Workers department'. Just blocked the call.

Got a call from those accident scammers earlier, proper muppets. Saw a post from 30/10 down here explaining what to do if these lot ring you. I'll sort it out tomorrow. Didn't bother blocking them as my phone's blocking feature is stuffed - apparently, it's hit its max with blocked numbers. So annoying!

Got two calls today about accident claims, then they started asking if any family or mates had one too. Told them I’m actually dead, took out by a dodgy giraffe on a scooter, with some Nat Geo film crew chasing right behind like it was some kind of show. The lass had a laugh and rang me back five minutes later. Said I’m currently in the crematorium and it’s getting a bit toasty in here!

SCAM - Got a call from someone saying they were from the "Industrial Workers Office" asking if I'd ever had a job in Industry. I'm a consultant in Infrastructure and had no clue who they were. I pretended to be interested just to see what it was about. Apparently, they're looking for people who’ve worked over 5 years in sectors with heavy machinery. Sounds like a dodgy insurance or claim scam to me. Best to block them straight away.

I got a call from someone saying they were trying to reach a person I’ve never even heard of. Then they started asking about some personal injury claim. Since I don’t have any claim like that, I’m pretty sure they’re just personal injury scammers.

This number has been ringing me every day for like more than a week now. Whenever I pick up but keep my mic off, they just hang up straight away. Seems like they wanna hear someone actually talk before launching into their sales pitch or maybe it's some sort of automated system and no real person is there, cause the call just ends dead.

Got a random call from 01617685705, claiming I could get £7,000 and asking me to visit some nearby hotel. They even talked about sending me a letter! I cut it short, said I’m not falling for any fairy tales, and told the bloke he sounded like a total scammer.

Got a call yesterday, they asked if I gave my full name and who I was. Then the bloke acted like he knew I’d worked in a factory for five years - I told him straight I hadn’t. Just got another call from the same number, but this time it was a woman. I asked who she was, she didn’t sound pleased and then hung up. I’ve blocked the number now.

I keep getting calls every day from numbers that are almost the same, just the last few digits different. Today, a woman named Kelly from The Hearing Clinic called me. When I answered, I overheard her chatting with a workmate about smoking weed on the job. Honestly, I reckon she might need a hearing test herself. When I asked her about it, she sounded really sorry.

This number calls me loads but always hangs up when I pick up. I’ve had quite a few calls from numbers that begin with the same first seven digits, but the last four digits are different each time. It's also been bothering my home phone, which isn’t even listed anywhere. It’s proper annoying and should be blocked because there’s no one there when you answer. I can imagine how distressing that could be for older people. Another one like this is 0161 768 5868.

Just got a call from some new con trying to cash in instead of that old PPI thing. They said since I’d been in that line of work before, they could set up a hearing test to check for any ear damage. Of course, if they find anything, I could claim up to £7000 because of some new law - total rubbish. Been getting loads of calls from 0161 numbers, definitely a call centre doing the rounds. They really ought to be shut down.

Just found out my surname showed up on their system saying I’ve been working in a factory or with machines, which is totally wrong. They called my landline, which is unlisted and has been for like 20 years. Only folks with that number are family, but I recently added it for my car insurance. I reckon those insurance firms are sharing our info without asking! Total SCAMMERS after your personal stuff! Don’t bother responding to them at all.

Got a call from some person talking about a car crash or something. Wasn't really clear what they wanted, felt a bit weird honestly. Thought it might be a scam or some misunderstanding. Strange thing to ring about out of nowhere.
