They kept calling non stop all day. I was driving and declined the call, like a couple mins later they called again. Realised it’s a scam so I blocked the number. Don’t pick up, from what Ive heard it’s just some recorded voice saying goodbye. Bet they’re making money whenever someone actually answers.

Debt help? Nah, sounds like overseas con artists trying to pull a fast one!

The bloke spoke with a strong foreign accent and kept asking if I was Jacob or whoever that is. He kept wanting to know who I was, but obviously I wouldn’t say. I had to really push to get him to answer my questions, like whether he was from a Government department, and he said no. Told him exactly where to shove it! Proper nuisance, that one. Tried to report him to the TPS since I’m on the register, so the call shouldn’t have even got through. But you have to give your details, which they might pass on to the company - no way am I doing that!

Such a hassle, just don’t bother answering.

Said they were from National Debt Helpline and could help with my unsecured loans. Asked them which ones exactly, but they had no answer. Probably because I don’t owe anything like that.

I've had a couple of calls from this number now, and it's quite peculiar. Each time I've answered, the caller simply says "goodbye" and hangs up. It's starting to make me feel a bit uneasy, wondering who on earth is making these calls without uttering anything else. - caller: 01618182857

I've handed over some cash as they claimed it was for a loan arrangement. Have I made a dreadful mistake here?
