I got a call from someone claiming to be part of a criminal inquiry in Sweden. They told me that there’d been some stock trading done using my name and said they'd frozen about $12,000 of mine. Then they asked if I wanted to get the money back or give it to charity. Sounded a bit fishy to me.

Someone named Angela called me, sounded like she wasn’t from around here, had a bit of an accent. She was asking for my partner by his name, saying he was supposed to get some money back from his bank because of some fees they needed to refund. I just told her he’d sort it out with the bank himself.

Got a call out of the blue from a bloke claiming my bank was sorting me out with a refund cheque for overpaid loan money. Odd thing is, I've never even taken a loan before! Didn’t put him off at all when I said that. He kept pushing, telling me to jot down his name - James Gill from Claims Advice - and said his boss would be ringing me soon with the cheque details. Yeah right! Do these scams really think people are that gullible nowadays?

Got a call from a place called Claims Advisory Bureau saying I was owed some money from interest related to my mortgage payments. The guy asked when my mortgage would finish and how much I was paying each month. It felt a bit dodgy so I just made up a figure. He then said someone else would ring me back, which they did shortly after. I told the second caller I’d done some digging online and was sharing the info with my son-in-law who works in banking. After that, the call ended.

About a fortnight ago, I put this number on my Zap list, and since then, every time they ring, True Call Call Blocker just shuts it down with a "Zap list caller / Zap message / Call rejected" alert. It's like they've been trying to get through but no chance now.

Got a call from some guy with a really slick asian-ish accent, but he called me by some name I used to give scammers ages ago! He started with that classic tale about the bank needing to refund some fees or whatever. Then he asked if I had any loans or credit cards left unpaid, and the moment I said ‘no’, he just cut the call. Proper dodgy!

So I got a call from a woman called Angela, said she was from some Claims Advisory Bureau. When I asked where their office was, she told me it's in Wolverhampton, England! Bit dumb, if you ask me. She said she wanted to refund me for old bank loans or something.

Yet again some bloke from India ringing up, trying to scam the vulnerable. Our so-called government down in Westminster couldn’t care less, it’s pathetic. Meanwhile, you get half a dozen police cars turning up in minutes at some posh Russian guy’s place over a squatter problem. It’s a disgrace how the old folks keep getting hassled with no proper action from the officials, watchdogs or the coppers. They’re just not doing their job at all. Bloody shameful.

Got a call again this morning from 01618187466 about sorting out delivery of a cheque supposedly from some claims advisory folks who had already rung me a couple of times before. They said I was picked to get some money but had to cough up £200 first! I told them there’s no way I’d pay that and called it out as a scam. The woman then just told me to #### OFF and hung up on me! Proper rude.

Got a call from a guy named James, sounded Asian, claiming I’m owed about £1000 for dodgy bank fees going back 20 years. He said he worked for some Government refund agency. Then he switched it up, saying he’d send me his details and a reference number, like that would make it legit. Honestly, could easily trick some older folks. I just told him to post me the cheeky cheque and ended the call sharpish!
