So I got a call from 01618200825 trying to sell me cheaper gas and electricity. I told the person I live in a really old mill that runs completely off its own hydro and solar power. Even after that, they were still pushing a “great deal”. I joked that I’d only be interested if it was free, and then they just hung up on me. Classic!

Got a call again from this number, some woman speaking with a funny accent. I’m not too sure what kinda scam she was trying, I just ended the call.

I received a call from someone claiming to be from Spectre Home Protection, asking for my personal information. However, I don’t have any insurance policies under that name, so it seems rather dodgy to me. Definitely feels like a scam!

Got a call from this number and ended up in a bit of a spat with the person on the other side. They kept telling me I’d had a policy with them since 2013 that needed renewing. I kept saying it wasn’t true, and in the end they just hung up. Feels like a total scam to me, I remember a pretty much identical thing happening a few years back.

I got a call from some people with Asian accents claiming to be from Complete Home Care. They told me all my electrical stuff needed insurance renewal and said since I was a loyal customer, I could get a discount. When I told them they were scammers, they got all defensive and started arguing. So I just blocked their number and reported it to Ofcom.

Got a call from some Asian scammers pretending to be about my electrical insurance renewal. I told them straight up they were scammers and blocked the number. Then I reported the number to TPS, Ofcom and also phoned the police fraud unit. Honestly, these idiots need to be stopped for good or sorted out somehow!!!!!!!!!

Got a call from someone saying they were from Complete Home Care, number 01618200825, but I've never come across them before. She claimed my card number began with a 4 - I told her that pretty much all cards start with a 4 anyway. Asked her to send it in writing and refused to share any card info, then she just hung up. Definitely another scam attempt.

I couldn’t quite make out who it was, but they hung up as soon as I greeted them. Quite puzzling, really!

I’m on the TPS register but still got a call about some electrical cover. They sounded just like the scams I’ve had before, asking for my credit card info. Totally dodgy, nothing new really.

Got a call from someone named Gary saying it was to do with electric energy management, then they wanted me to give some details to prove my identity. I wasn't having it and just hung up. The STD code showed it was from Manchester, but honestly, their English was really poor.

Got a call from a woman with an Asian accent talking about some home protection scheme. I said alright, then just hung up. Pretty sure it was a scam.

Just like the person before me, I got a call saying my insurance had to be renewed. It’s definitely a con.

Some bloke phoned up asking for my credit card info to "update" an electric appliance policy I've never even heard of! He got pretty shouty when I questioned him. I ended up giving him just the first four numbers of a Visa card (everyone knows 4659 means Visa debit), then he started threatening to cancel all our policies if I didn’t spill the details on the spot. Claimed he couldn’t send anything through the post or by email because it was a phone-only service. Yeah right, total scam alert. Watch out for these dodgy calls!

Got a call from a bloke called Kevin trying to get me to renew some electrical cover. Told him off sharpish since I work as an electrician myself!

I got a call from a woman who sounded Asian, asking for my mum. I told her she wasn’t here, then she asked when she could talk to her. I said never, because she’s passed away. After that, she just hung up. It’s really sad, but that’s the truth about my mum.

Got a call about renewing some Electrical Appliance insurance from an Asian lady who had no clue about any details on what was covered. I asked where she was calling from and she said the UK, then I pressed further, which part of the UK? She said Hampshire, so I asked which town in Hampshire, but I knew the number was actually from Manchester. After a long awkward pause, I said she must know where she really was, then just like that, she ended the call. Not exactly shocking, just a bit of a laugh for a couple of minutes - clearly a scam.

I was about to email out the Electrical Appliances Policy when the caller asked for some info. I told them we don't have anything like that and then ended the call quickly.

I got a call about some electrical items insurance. The person on the phone claimed I already had a policy with them but could offer a cheaper rate. They asked for bank details to "sort it out." It seemed legit at first since they knew my name and where I live. Definitely felt like a dodgy scam though.

Just like the person before me, I got a call from this number too. Definitely frustrating!

Got another call today about renewing white goods insurance. It was a call centre with an Asian accent, just like last time. Definitely a scam.

My dad, who has a disability and struggles to get to the phone quickly, kept getting calls from these people. When he finally picked up, they didn’t even bother to use his real name. He tried to gently tell them they had the wrong person, but they just hung up on him every single time. It happened three times over just a couple of days. It’s awful that they can just keep bothering vulnerable people like that, especially the elderly. I’m really looking into ways to stop these annoying calls. What a nasty way to treat people.

I got a call from someone saying they were from an electrical homecare service but they had the wrong details for my direct debit. I already have cover with another firm. When he asked for my direct debit info, I said I'd call back and asked his name, but then he just hung up on me.

Called about home care but refused to leave any message, insisted on talking directly to the owner. When I explained the owner couldn't answer because they needed care, they just hung up straight away.

I got a call from a woman wanting to talk to my dad about his electrical insurance running out. When I asked her which electrical items she meant, she got quite aggressive. She then questioned why my dad wasn’t answering for himself. I told her that he has some trouble hearing and talking, so I handle those calls. She kept being unpleasant, said I was wasting her time, and then just hung up. Honestly, if her aim was to sell a policy, that’s one way to lose a potential customer - very poor behaviour and awful customer service.
