Got a call on my landline from this number, and some woman with an Indian or Pakistani accent started asking about life insurance. Couldn’t catch much though because there was loads of background noise, sounded just like a call centre. So, I just ended the call.

This bloke, who sounded Asian, claimed he was with some life insurance firm. When I gave him some daft replies, he started calling me a liar and got quite rude. My phone had already flagged the number as potential spam and I knew it from past calls I'd ignored.

Got a silent call, pretty sure it was another dodgy scam. Blocked the number straight away.

Some bloke rang up saying he was from the "Tech Department" and asked if I’d heard about BT joining up with EE, claiming customers had money coming to them. I told him I was well aware of the merger since I’ve got a mate who works there. I instantly knew it was dodgy but was curious how long it’d take before he asked for my card info. He actually laughed when I mentioned my mate, and then said, “Madam, this is another department.” That’s when I just gave up and hung up. Total scam, no doubt about it.

Got a call from a bloke speaking in his own language, probably Hindi or something, completely unaware he was actually on the line with me. Couldn’t catch what he was selling, but since I’m on the TPS list, his call was definitely against the rules and I reckon he was just trying to con me.

Around 11 in the morning, I got a call from someone with a strong North American accent - honestly, his words were hard to follow. He mentioned something about a subscription I'd supposedly cancelled years ago. I told him if I’d ended it, then it wasn't needed anymore. He said something else, but I couldn’t catch it because of his accent. I told him I couldn’t really understand and was about to hang up when I noticed he’d already hung up. I've now blocked the number to be safe.

I got a call on my landline from a bloke overseas claiming he was refunding me £215. He then started asking for my card details, which seemed dodgy, so I just put the phone down.

Got a call with some rubbish about not being able to provide a service, and then they said I owed £300 or something. Their English was terrible, so I didn’t catch most of it. Definitely sounded like a scam to me.

I got a call from this place called ‘Business energy direct’, trying to convince me they could save me cash on my energy bills. Seems a bit dodgy to me.

Got a call from someone saying they were from British Gas about renewing our contract. When we asked for their name and phone number, they couldn’t provide any and just ended the call. Couldn't verify any info they gave us, so looks like it was a total scam.

A caller said they were from EDF, telling me we'd just switched our energy deal to them. They wanted me to verify who our old supplier was. When I asked them to send the info in an email instead, they just hung up without another word.

I kept getting calls from this so-called EDF Energy, but it was obvious they were just reading info straight from Companies House. They kept trying to talk to whoever pays the bill, but honestly, if you want to contact EDF properly, all their official phone numbers are easy to find on their website. Pretty annoying how persistent they were!

Nearly every day I get these calls trying to push some TV deal on me. They really don't know when to stop, do they? It's just another annoying sales call.

Beware of the Eon Provider scam. It’s totally fake and just trying to con people. Don’t trust calls claiming to be from Eon, they’re just after your info!
