Got a call from someone saying they were from Sky, but I told them to find an actual job instead of trying to scam folks. They just ended the call right away.

Just got a call while I was at a funeral, didn’t recognise the number so I just let it ring out.

Got a call with no caller ID, didn’t pick up, seemed like it came from Manchester - probably a scam.

Some woman called me saying she was “Sophie from Support For Heroes,” but right away I knew her. Turns out, it’s the same person who rings me up a couple times every week pretending to be “Your local energy advisor.” I didn’t bother with the rest of the chat and just ended the call.

Got a call that showed up as maybe a scam, but since I was waiting for someone to ring me, I picked up. In the end, it was just silence on the other end.

Got this call two times within just an hour. Every time, I used a Jim Carrey soundboard and played bits like “Hello”, “Good morning”, and “Excuse me.” It really throws them off and they end up just dropping the call. They claim they can slash my home insurance by half for a whole year, but I’ve never actually had that cover. Just having a bit of fun winding them up. Cheers, Andy H from Manchester.

Around 10:30 made sure not to pick up cause I just knew it was gonna be one of those scam calls again, looked it up afterwards and yep, just another scam like clockwork every day.

Got calls twice in two days from someone saying they were Marks & Spencer, asking about a person who hasn’t lived here for ages. Pretty annoying!

This week alone, I've had these scammers ring me up five times, but this is the first occasion I’ve heard from this particular number. They keep pretending they’re from Microsoft. I usually humour them for a bit until they start getting rude and aggressive. Honestly, it’s about time someone put an end to these con artists!

When I questioned these crooks about the reason for their call, they told me it was all about collecting funds to construct new homes for Indian business owners.

I received a call from what seemed to be a customer service representative claiming they could help me cut back on my Sky costs. Frankly, I found it all a bit dodgy and decided to end the conversation right then and there.

Got a call from someone saying they were with 'The Housing Claims,' offering to help get compensation from the government for landlords not fixing issues. They never asked for my address but added me to a WhatsApp group and started asking for photos of my property. After I didn’t reply, they called me three more times just to remind me to respond. Not sure if they’ll keep calling since I’ve ignored the messages, but their WhatsApp profile showed the company name clearly, which seemed professional at first. Friendly at first, but then got quite insistent. Would steer clear!

My elderly mum has been getting calls constantly from someone asking for her bank info.. watch out for this! Thankfully, she told them off since they’ve been bothering her already and she knew the voice. Then they just hung up on her.

I got a call from someone who already knew my name, trying to convince me I'd save money on my electricity bills. Definitely felt like a scam to me.

These scammers are really clueless, couldn’t even get my name straight. I called them back but they blocked their number, as expected. Such amateurs!

I didn’t pick up since the number was unfamiliar. They rang me two times already today. When I tried ringing back, someone said it was from a customer service team but didn’t explain what it was about... then asked me to hit 1 for more info. I just ended the call. Seems dodgy to me.

I received a call from this number earlier, and when I called back, some bloke said I owed money for my Sky Mobile bill. They didn’t even bother to check who I was or anything like that. I told them I’ve never had Sky Mobile and just ended the call. I’m pretty certain it’s a scam, so watch out!

I called back and the person on the line just said they were from customer services but didn’t specify which company or anything, so I just ended the call. Pretty sure this is a scam, the number is 0161 884 0749, seems to be from Manchester.

I got a call from someone trying to sell me stuff, and they just wouldn't take no for an answer. I politely said thanks but no thanks, and then the caller started shouting at me to pay attention. It was so rude I just hung up straight away.

Got a call out of nowhere trying to sell me solar panels, wasn’t interested at all. Annoying sales pitch!
