How do they even have my name and number? What about privacy rules with sharing info? The English was a mess, couldn't even get my name right. Totally clueless stranger!

I’m usually not one to pick up for unknown calls, but I looked up the number and judging by what people said, it’s been blacklisted now.

Someone called saying they were from a legal company and asked about my pension being invested abroad. I told them I didn’t give permission for anything like that. I asked who they were again and they said something like Pension Law, so I told them I’m a solicitor as well, and they just ended the call. Just another dodgy trick trying to get hold of your pension info.

0161 974 6966 Called me 3 times, finally picked up. They wanted me to review my pension and said some financial advisor recommended moving my pension. I told them no way and ended the call. Be careful with this number, probably a scam.

0161 974 6966 called me three times, finally picked up. They wanted to talk about reviewing my pension and said a financial advisor suggested transferring it. I told them absolutely not and ended the call. Watch out for this number, seems like a scam to me.

Got a call today from a bloke with an Indian accent who sounded like he didn’t even care to scam me properly, talking all half-hearted and uninterested. He just wanted me to confirm my name, so I cut the call before he could start his dodgy routine. Blocked him straight away.

Someone called saying they were from Enterprise car hire about a crash I was in and suggested they could sort out some compensation. They already knew loads about the accident and everyone involved before even speaking to me. That really creeped me out. When I asked why they were interested, they just ended the call. I've blocked the number now.

They ring me daily, sometimes even up to 5 times a day, about a small car crash I was involved in a while back. They say they’re from ACM. Honestly, they’re so pushy, rude and just really irritating. I just want them to leave me alone.

Got a call from a lady abroad asking if we had any issues with damp because of cavity wall insulation. I told her no and she just thanked me and ended it. Felt a bit dodgy, like a scam probably, but she was so polite I didn’t have the heart to give her my usual sarcastic rant and rude comeback!

Got a call from someone trying to get me to start a claim for cavity wall mould or something. Weird thing is, they already had my name, address and phone number, which is kinda creepy.

When I answer, there's nobody there, just noise like a busy call centre. They ring me up two times daily. I’m definitely gonna put them on block now.

Got a ring from this number earlier today, same as others said, some Indian call centre claiming we’re on a national list for cavity wall insulation and can get a refund. Told them straight up it’s a scam and not to bother calling again or I'd report them. They just hung up. Fingers crossed they don’t try again.

Got a call from someone saying they can get you compensation for bad cavity wall insulation. They always ask if you’ve got damp spots or mould, and most people say yes. Just don’t be fooled by it. After reading other comments linked to this number, I’m left pretty confused about what’s really going on - there’s a bunch of mixed stuff. If you can, it’s probably safer to just block this number.
