2 yearsGot a call earlier from someone claiming to be about housing repairs - total scam, and I’m actually the homeowner!2 yearsGot a call claiming to be from the Housing Repair Team for some housing association or something like that. As soon as I told them I actually own my home, they just cut off the call straight away. Bit suspicious if you ask me.Housing Repair Team2 yearsI got a call from someone saying they were part of a housing disrepair team - supposed to be for tenants and housing associations. Thing is, I own my own place, so I shouldnt even be on their list. Feels like a total scam to me.2 yearsDone with these annoying scam calls, such a waste of my time. Honestly, they must have nothing else going on. Blocked that number straight away.2 yearsI got a call on speaker while I was driving and the person actually knew my name. Once he mentioned something about housing repairs I immediately got suspicious since we’ve been using the same builder for ages and there’s nothing wrong with our house. Told him he’s got the wrong info and just ended the call. I’ve blocked that number since then.2 yearsI had my phone on DND and this number kept ringing non stop, like 15 calls in just a few seconds. So annoying, had to block it straight away.2 yearsMost times I answer, no one's there. It's quite annoying.2 yearsAbsolutely a scam, no doubt about it!2 yearsWas abroad, just using wifi, when this number rang me on 27th July. Didn’t pick up, usually would if I was just at home in Scotland. Looks like they’re having a go here too. Blocked the number straight away.Scotland2 yearsI got a call from them about house repairs and ended up chatting for about half an hour. I gave them my date of birth and some other info, but didn’t share any bank stuff thankfully. After seeing all the bad reviews, I’m going to block their number and not answer again. Feeling a bit uneasy now.2 yearsNo idea who it was. No warning or anything left behind. Just one of those random calls.2 yearsI’ve been gettin loads of calls from 0161, think its some sort of housing repair scam. I just block the number straight away and don’t pick up. Better safe than sorry!Manchester2 yearsI got a call from this number, but since I’m based in London and don’t know anyone from Manchester, I just ignored it. They didn’t leave a message or anything. Had a look online and it turns out it’s a scam, so I’m definitely going to block it.LondonManchester2 yearsGot a call from some bloke called Danny, who was pretty hostile from the start. He kept going on about checking up on housing association repairs. I told him flat out I’m not part of any housing group. Then, he accused me of fibbing and even claimed I was under oath or something mad like that. Honestly, what a muppet!Danny2 yearsGave me a ring, but then they hung up after about half a minute.2 yearsDefinitely a scam, best to just ignore the call.2 yearsBeing in Nottingham, I saw the number but decided not to pick up since it looked like the same scam call I’d got before.Nottingham2 yearsI’ve stopped picking up 0161 calls completely now, because every time it’s some dodgy foreign bloke trying it on. Honestly, scammers seem never-ending these days!2 yearsTOTAL SCAM, BEWARE!2 yearsKept calling but when I answered it was just silence then they ended the call.2 yearsGot a call from this number earlier today but the phone was turned off when I tried to ring back. It showed up as a local number, so I looked it up before picking up. After reading the previous comment, I totally agree with what they said. I've gone ahead and blocked it through O2 and sent a report to the NCSC.National Cyber Security Centre2 yearsToday, on the 26/7/24, I got a call from an unfamiliar number but decided not to pick up after seeing some recent info from Which about phone scams, where they mentioned "Who Called Me" as a helpful tool. After checking up on the caller's details there, I chose to block the number. Gotta say, Who Called Me is a brilliant resource!2 yearsBeware of this housing scam, had someone pretend to be a landlord and take money upfront. Total disgrace!2 yearsGot a call about some housing offer, sounded like a scam to me. Definitely not interested at all.2 yearsGot a call before from a lady saying she was contacting me about housing tenants. I cut her off and asked why she was ringing me since I’m not a tenant. She quickly apologised for bothering me and promised to take my number off their list. She was quite polite, actually.2 yearsVodafone just stopped some dodgy housing scam call for me 🚫 so glad for that!Vodafone2 yearsGot a random call on my work phone, didn’t pick up and just blocked the number straight away.2 yearsThey got my name wrong. Something to do with repairs for the council or some housing lot. I told them I own my place, and the bloke went on about how I should’ve said that sooner or I’m just wasting his time! When I asked them to delete my number because of data protection, he said it wasn’t possible. So yeah, I just blocked the number after that.2 yearsI had a rather distressing experience with an aggressive caller the other day. When I questioned him about why he was ringing me out of the blue, he outright accused me of being dishonest multiple times. His call was concerning some alleged maintenance issues on a property I let. Strangely, he had both my mobile number and the property address to boot! Just a word of caution to others - stay alert!2 yearsI swear I get at least one scam call every single day, it's so annoying. I keep trying to block the numbers but they just keep coming back. Really fed up with it!2 yearsGot a call today from 0161 843 8164 but SMART blocked it straight away. According to this site, it’s linked to housing. Could be the council, housing associations, or maybe some landlords have passed on our info. I’ve had calls before where the caller just asks about whether a repair’s been sorted, won’t say who they are, then cuts off halfway through what they were saying. Feels like my local council’s sold my details, honestly.2 yearsGot a call from a number I didn't recognise, but they didn't bother to leave any sort of message.2 yearsSaw I had a missed call from this number earlier today.2 yearsAfter looking through the comments I decided to block the number. Didn’t pick up when they called.2 yearsDidn’t pick up since number looked unfamiliar, no message left on voicemail either. Looked it up on here afterwards and decided to block it!2 yearsThis number called me three times, I'm based in SE London.South East London2 yearsGot a call from a number I don’t recognise, but they didn’t bother to leave a voicemail.2 yearsSomebody rang me claiming they were from an investment firm.2 yearsI kept getting calls from this number, 16 times in a row! Honestly, it’s way too much, so I just don’t pick up if I don’t recognise the caller. Ridiculous how persistent they are!2 yearsGot a call from someone with a heavy accent, loads of noise in the background. Claimed to be from the Highlands Housing Repairs team (we’re up in the Highlands). He said he wanted to check if I needed assistance with any housing issues like mould or broken windows. I asked if he was with the Highland Council and he said yes. I then asked which department and he replied “Housing.” When I told him I don’t live in a council house and asked why he was ringing me, he just hung up lol. This is the third time they’ve called this week, so I blocked the number now.Housing Repairs ServiceHighlandsHighland CouncilCouncil2 yearsTHIEVES AND LIARS These con artists really should be banned outright and slapped with massive fines and forced to pay back what they stole. They deserve jail time without a doubt. Some folks claim they’re just earning a living, but that’s the same excuse loads of terrible people have used in history, and it never excuses the harm they caused. Not now, not ever.SS2 yearsIt’s seriously annoying how these scammers get away with this. I’m waiting on a really important phone call, and my phone won’t stop ringing with spam. This kinda thing really ought to be illegal.2 yearsPure junk calls.2 yearsIt's just a spam call, probably best to not answer or get involved with it.2 yearsGot a call on my phone from this number. My phone warned me it was probably spam, so I didn’t bother answering. I’ve blocked it now just to be safe.2 yearsPicked up the phone, heard nothing for a moment then some faint chatter like a call centre in the backround. Ended the call and put the number on block.2 yearsThis number looks familiar, been called by them a few times already and even left a comment here before. It’s someone called Sally from housing repair or something like that. Honestly, told her to bugger off or something along those lines because they're just scammers. Don’t expect a call from them again, had to block the number anyway.Sally2 yearsThis number popped up on my phone and since it looked pretty close to where I live, I figured I’d pick up. Big mistake. After just a few seconds of dead silence, a really uninterested young voice finally asked, “Are you [my name]?” I asked who they were but all I got was, “It’s really urgent that you confirm you’re [my name].” When I pressed for details about who exactly was calling and what company they represented, they said, “I’m Danni from the Housing Disrepair Department... very important.” Didn’t hang about - straight onto block.DanniHousing Disrepair Department2 yearsKeeps ringing non stop.2 yearsThey've rung me about five times now, so I've blocked the number.2 yearsConstantly receiving nuisance calls.2 yearsI got called by 01618438164 and the bloke was proper rude. When I asked him how he got my number, he suddenly started getting all aggressive and annoying. Not a nice experience at all.2 yearsSaw the missed call, checked the reviews and decided to block it straight away!2 yearsJust keeps on ringing with more spam calls all the time.2 yearsI received a staggering seven calls in under a minute! I ignored the first one, but before I knew it, my phone was ringing again almost instantly. It seems like they’ve got some sort of auto-callback system. I had no idea they could get through so quickly!2 yearsThey called me back to back about 12 times, so I just ended up blocking the number.2 yearsPicked up the phone but it was just silent on the other end.2 yearsIt's rather odd-when I pick up the call, it just sits there in silence for a couple of minutes before cutting off without a word from anyone. Very peculiar!2 yearsI kept turning down the call but then called them back like 5 times. When someone finally picked up, they just ended the call straight away.2 yearsNo idea who was trying to ring me.2 yearsI have no clue who was calling me, but they rang me up about five times.2 yearsDon't have a clue who called me from this number.Submit Your Own Report (0161 843 8164)
