So I got a call from these energy consultants and when I mentioned I actually live on a boat, they just ended the call on me 😅

Had a rather dodgy call regarding energy services, clearly trying to pry personal details from me. When I cheekily mentioned I resided on a boat, they promptly cut the line. Quite amusing, really!

I always avoid picking up 0161 calls. Like always, they left no voicemail. Definitely a scam. Blocked.

Got a call about solar panels. Told them I wasn’t interested but they kept pushing and wouldn’t accept my answer. When I refused to book a free quote, they started grilling me about why I hung up. Bit annoying in the end.

I've just received my fourth bothersome call today, the first one coming from a number in Manchester. Clearly, it's not anything of significance. The spineless callers didn’t even bother to leave a voicemail - perhaps they know it would only serve as a damning record. It could be linked to the ongoing inquiry into the so-called “improvement person” at my workplace, who’s facing scrutiny over some serious breaches of data protection alongside a slew of other bullying and misconduct allegations. I've now added them to my blocked list.

This particular number has been persistently ringing my phone multiple times a day for the past three days. When I investigated, it appears to be linked to a fraudulent HMRC operation from Manchester. I went ahead and blocked it, but wouldn’t you know it? A different number, albeit similar, has started calling me with just a variation in the last four digits! What a right nuisance!

If people don’t report scams, they just keep happening. You’ll find the info in the post three spots down. The reason these scams go on is mainly cuz lots of folks don’t bother telling anyone about them.

The number 01618502812 kept ringing me up, saying they were from One Manchester housing. They wanted to set up a time to visit my place to check and note down any repairs needed. But I knew One Manchester has their own proper system for residents to report repairs directly. I decided to verify the number and found out it’s actually a scam. Just be cautious if you get calls from this number - don’t let yourself get scammed.

Got a call from this number claiming to be from an energy supplier trying to scam me. The police website for Action Fraud says to text 7726 with the number and what happened, so I did that. Make sure you watch out for a reply because they might ask you to confirm your message. If more people did this every time they got such calls, these scam numbers would probably be shut down already.

I got a call on my landline yesterday, from a number that was just a bit different. Picked up today, and some woman called Emma was on the line. She said she’s a local energy advisor but didn’t say which company or place. She asked if I was the homeowner but got it wrong since the homeowner is a bloke. When I asked her where exactly she was calling from, she just ended the call straight away. The weird thing is, the landline hardly ever rings!
