Got a call earlier today and thought it was just another dodgy scam. The voice claimed they were ringing from The Workers Office and started asking if I'd served in the military before. I told them straight up they didn’t have the right to ask about my past service and told them to jog on. Ended the call then and there. Have blocked that number since.

It's just awful how these scammers try to con money from innocent folks. They really should find real work instead of preying on vulnerable people. Honestly, it's disgraceful behaviour. I really hope they get nabbed soon!!!

If you don't know who's calling, just ignore the number. Best to block it and mark it as a scam. They'll likely ring you back using a different number from the same batch, so be sure to block those too.

A man called me, saying he thought I worked in a factory and might qualify for some hearing loss compensation. Since I’ve been a Barrister for 46 years, I figured he was fishing for personal info like my DOB and national insurance number. As soon as I told him I was a Barrister, he just ended the call.

In just one day, this number rang me thrice. I didn’t pick up the first two times, but when I finally did on the third ring, the caller just dropped the call. Definitely getting blocked now!

They called me and asked if I was working in a factory, which I found really fishy. Not sure how they got hold of my name, it’s a bit creepy to be honest. Definitely feels like a scam to me.
