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.

Didn’t bother leaving a message when it went to voicemail, felt like a dodgy call to me. Probably some sort of scam.

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.

Got a call from someone with an Indian accent, asking for a bloke named John. Told them there’s no one called that here and then they started going on about the postcode lottery. Not interested at all. Definitely won’t be picking up if that number rings again.

Got a call from someone called Miranda, sounded like they were from India or China, definitely not British. They were blabbing on about some lottery thing?? I never take part in the lottery!! Seems like a total scam to me.

I got cut off straight away. If the call came from a landline, surely they should be able to track it down? Not sure why they can't.

I got a call on my landline from a woman asking if I wanted help with restoration work. I said no thanks, as I've got enough on my plate already. She mentioned she was from London, but when I looked up the number afterwards, it showed as coming from Manchester. During the chat, she tried to get my email address, which I wisely didn’t share. Something felt off, like she was trying to scam me or gather info. When I tried to call the number back, it was just dead. She claimed she found my landline number on Google.

Some lady with an asian accent called me saying I’d won a postcode lottery, but she already had my old address and my maiden name. I asked her if the person currently living there must’ve won it instead, but she kept insisting it was me even though I don’t live there any more. Then she asked for my new address to send me discount cards and flight details as part of the ‘prize’. Seemed a bit dodgy to me, so I just ended the call.

Got a call from a lady speaking with an Indian accent saying I’d been picked in some Postcode Lottery draw. Apparently I’d bagged 50% off shopping at any supermarket, a fortnight holiday and £300 in cash. Sounds like a total jackpot, right? 😂 I just ended the call straight away…

Got a call from some "postcode lottery" people claimin I had won a discount card or somethin. They started askin about my age group, said it mattered for the discounts you get. I kept asking how they got my phone number but they just hung up on me. Bit dodgy if you ask me.

Got a call from someone who sounded Chinese or Asian, but there was so much noise in the background I couldn't catch much. It was like there were loads of people talking, like in a call centre or a telesales place. They said something about me winning a prize or something, but when I started asking them stuff, they just cut off. Feels like a scam or someone spoofing a UK number. Definitely avoid these calls.

Received a call from this number, the person just kept saying hello. I replied each time, same back and forth a few times, then they just cut off. Could hear loads of chatter and noise in the background like a call centre. Looks like a dodgy scam operation to me.

I didn’t pick up the phone when this number called and they didn’t bother to leave a message either. Checking on this website though, it looks like I dodged a sneaky scam attempt. Then, a bit later this afternoon, I took a call from 01518080261 which was obviously another dodgy one, trying to convince me I’d won something called the postcode lottery. I’m not really sure what they’re playing at, but it seems like these two phone numbers might be linked somehow.
