I received a call from someone with an Indian accent inquiring if they could chat with 'John' regarding some lottery prize. Just to clarify, I'm not John at all.

The number was unfamiliar so I chose not to pick up. There wasn’t any voicemail either. I got a call like this one just the other day, and after checking it out on this site, it looks like they’re running some kind of postcode lottery scam around our neighbourhood. They’ve been flagged as risky, probably because they’ve ripped people off before. Really awful stuff. Be careful and keep your guard up, folks.

Got a call claiming I’d won something from the Post Code Lottery. I replied with, “Brilliant! Should I give you my bank info now then?” They hung up quickly, must’ve caught on to my sarcasm.

On 10 Nov 2021 at 09:09, I got a call from this number. A woman with a nice, clear voice asked if she was speaking to a certain gentleman - "Am I speaking to Mr.?" When I said no, she just put the phone down. There was quite a bit of background noise, like a busy call centre. Because of how abruptly she ended the call without any explanation or sorry, I reckon it might’ve been a scam.

Got a call when i wasnt home, no message left either. Since my number’s on the TPS, they really shouldn’t be ringing me. Feels like an overseas scammer pretending to be from the UK.

Got a call but it just went straight to answerphone, no one left any message though. I'm on the TPS list so they obviously didn't bother trying to talk. Feels like the usual scam attempt to me. I'd say this is more than annoying, could be dangerous since they’re clearly trying to get your cash somehow.

Just had a bloke ring me claiming I’d bagged the Post Code Lottery. I told him to send over some good-looking ‘door knockers’ with the cheque and I’d pretend to be chuffed on camera for their promo. Pretty clear it’s just scammers testing out fresh cons.

I received a call from someone who had a distinct Indian accent, asking for a chap named John. The thing is, there’s no one here by that name. After a bit of chit-chat, they claimed to be associated with the postcode lottery. I wasn't interested, so I won't be picking up that number again in the future.

I received a call from a number that sounded distinctly foreign-definitely not from the UK. It was a woman named Miranda, and she was rambling on about some lottery nonsense. To be frank, I'm not into lotteries at all! Seems like it’s just another dodgy scam attempt.

Received a call from the Postcode Lottery claiming I’d won some flight tickets. I decided to play along without showing any enthusiasm, and eventually, they hung up on me. Fingers crossed they don’t manage to deceive someone else!

They disconnected the call abruptly. If it’s actually a landline number, why is it so difficult to track its whereabouts?

I received a surprising call on my landline from a woman inquiring if I required assistance with restorations. I politely declined, explaining that my plate was already full with my own tasks. She mentioned she resided in London, but upon ending the call, I discovered that the number originated from Manchester. Additionally, she requested my email address, which I’m relieved I didn't provide. I suspect this might be a scammer attempting to gather personal information, particularly since the number was unreachable when I tried to call back. She claimed to have found my landline number through Google.

A woman of Asian descent rang me up claiming that I had won the postcode lottery, despite her referencing my old surname and a long-forgotten address. When I pointed out that whoever currently resides there must be the true winner, she brushed me off, insisting that I was still entitled to the prize, even though I've not lived there in ages. Then she asked me to provide my new address to send over discount cards and flight information for the supposed winnings. Seemed a bit fishy to me, so I decided to hang up.

I received a call from a lady with an Indian accent who claimed I’d struck gold in a lucky draw with the Postcode Lottery. She mentioned I’d won a sensational 50% discount at all grocery stores, a fortnight holiday, and a cash prize of £300. What a stroke of luck! 😂 I certainly didn't hesitate to end that conversation...

Received a rather dodgy call on my mobile today, claiming I'd hit the jackpot in the postcode lottery. They asked for my bank details, but I made it clear I wasn't keen on divulging any information. As soon as I said that, they promptly hung up. Classic scam behaviour!

As soon as I picked up, the line fell silent almost immediately after I pressed for some clarity on who was calling. It strikes me as one of those persistent types who dodge straightforward inquiries. Quite baffling, really!

I received a call claiming I had won a discount card in some sort of "postcode lottery." They then inquired about my age group because, apparently, the benefits vary by age. I pressed them a couple of times for the source of my phone number, but they abruptly hung up on me. Quite the dodgy tactic, if you ask me!

Received a call from someone with an Asian accent who insisted I had won a prize. They were reciting some rather outdated information about me, all while claiming I’d just won something recently. Quite suspicious, if you ask me-sounds like a classic scam attempt!

I received a call from what seemed to be an Asian or possibly Chinese individual, but due to a cacophony of background noise, I could hardly make out what they were saying. It had all the hallmarks of a telesales operation with several people chattering away in the background. It felt very much like a suspected scammer calling from a UK number! They mentioned something about me winning a prize, but when I probed for more details, they just abruptly hung up. I’d steer clear of this one if I were you!

I received a call from this number, and it went a bit like this: I greeted them with a 'hello', only to be met with the same reply from their end. It became a drawn-out exchange of 'hellos', each one echoing back to me, until they finally decided to cut the line. There was quite a racket in the background, suggesting it might be some sort of call centre, possibly trying their luck at scamming.

I missed a call from this number and they didn't bother to leave a message, but after rummaging through this website, it appears I've dodged a right scammer. Earlier today, I picked up a call from 01518080261, which turned out to be another dodgy attempt to convince me I'd hit the jackpot in some postcode lottery. It's baffling what these nuisances are up to, but there seems to be a link between these two numbers.
