Probably some sort of scam.5 yearsThe 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.

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.5 yearsGot 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.UK5 yearsGot a call from a number I didn't know, so I looked it up.

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.LondonManchesterGoogle5 yearsSome 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.5 yearsGot 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.
