I received a phone call from someone who said he was representing "Compare my Policy." He said he wanted to take a look at my life insurance to check if I was really getting the best offer out there and whether my coverage was current. I decided against divulging any information about my policy.

Got a call from some guy Bradley, said he was from a "Life insurance company" but I never signed up for anything like that. Didn't bother talking much, seemed dodgy to me - probably just a scam.

Here we go again with the start of a new week, got a call today from a 0161 number saying they were from Kalen and Carlisle, definitely another scam call. These pesky parasites really have nothing better to do, so frustrating. Blocked it straight away.

I think the name was something like Kayed & Carlisle, but I'm not totally sure. When I called back, there was a robotic voice saying the company name, then some music came on and they tried to patch me through to talk to a person. I just ended the call there.

I got a call from someone claiming to be with Haringey council, saying they’d cleared the pathway near my place or something like that. Honestly, I have no clue what he was on about. I’m pretty sure I never gave them my landline number, so how on earth did he get hold of it? Felt really suspicious to me.

I got a call from some so-called life insurance review team. Turns out they're not legit at all - no rca regulation or anything. They even secretly record your calls and don’t bother to tell you about it, which goes against ico data rules. Feels like a total scam trying to switch your insurance without proper transparency.

Some call centre rang me about checking up on my life insurance, but I told them I don't deal with cold calls. Still, she just kept chatting away like I was daft or something. Quite rude, really.

Life insurance seems like a bit of a con, doesn't it? That strong Indian accent of the caller really got on my nerves, too.
