Got a call this morning around 8.53am, they wanted to speak to me by name. When I asked them who they were and where they got my number from, they instantly just cut me off. I’m actually on the TPS too.

Received a dodgy call the other day probing about life insurance. Definitely had the whiff of a scam about it!

These days I rarely pick up the phone since most calls turn out to be some company pushing stuff I don’t want, or worse, trying to scam my bank info. Judging by how this call sounded, it was probably the same. I usually use 1471 to check who rang me and only return calls if it’s someone significant. For elderly folks, these callers should really be considered a serious threat!!

I received a call claiming to be from British Gas, and they inquired about the type of boiler I own. I mentioned that they should already have that information since they installed it just four months prior. The caller insisted it was for verification purposes, but when I hesitated to respond, they escalated the call to a supervisor. This supervisor then had the audacity to request my sort code, and I quickly realised this was nothing but a scam. I told him as much, yet he maintained it was for verification. Once I repeated that it was a scam, he abruptly terminated the call.

Got a ring just after 8 this morning, way too early for any proper business chat. They claimed to be from British Gas asking about my boiler info. I said they sounded like scam artists and hung up straight away.

Got a call at 11:55 in the morning, but it hung up as soon as my answerphone kicked in. I think it might be linked to the 01792 712866 number that buzzed my phone twice about 4 minutes before.

I got a call from some woman, sounded Indian, with a call centre noise in the back. She claimed to be from British Gas and started jabbering about servicing my account. I was really on edge, but I kept her on the line just to hear what she'd say next. Then she asked for my sort code - that’s when I knew straight away it was a dodgy scam. No chance I’m giving that info!

I received a call from someone purporting to be from British Gas, who was keen to discuss a full-service package for my boiler. She inquired about the brand and installation date, details I assumed they would already know as I’m a customer. Then, rather suspiciously, she requested my bank sort code. That was my cue to end the conversation right there!

I got a call from a woman with an Indian accent claiming to be from British Gas. She asked for me by name and then rattled off my address to confirm it. While I did confirm my name, I got a bit wary and asked her what company she was actually calling from and why. She insisted it was British Gas and mentioned something about my bill being lower. I told her straight away that I don't even have a British Gas account. She just cut the call right then. Definitely a SCAM!

Somebody called me pretending to be from British Gas, but I haven’t dealt with them in more than two decades, so I could tell straight away it was dodgy. I just made up a load of stuff and eventually she gave up and hung up. These scammers really need to be stopped!

Got a call from an unfamiliar number, but when my answering machine picked up, I could tell it was some sort of call centre. No one ever actually spoke and then the line just went dead. Needless to say, I’ve blocked the number now. Cheers.

Got a call from a woman at some call centre who said she was ringing from British Gas about a boiler service. She wanted to know the brand of my boiler and when it was put in, which seemed odd since I’m already signed up with BG for my service plan so they’d have that info. Then she started asking for my bank sort code, which made me hang up straight away.

Got a call from a lady claiming to be from the subcontinent, asking if I was the owner of the house and if I lived with family. When I told her I actually lived in a mud hut out in the Kalahari, sharing it with three goats, a couple of camels and even a scorpion, she just cut the call. Bit of a weird one!

Got another call with that same Indian accent. They asked if it was me and then wanted to chat about my savings plan. I joked, “you’re not calling from here, right?” He quickly said no and hung up! Always that awful background noise like it’s coming from some busy call centre. I’ve ended up blocking loads of numbers, more than the ones I actually know!

Really annoying calls kept coming in every 20 minutes. The caller claimed to be from the government but couldn't give me a name, so it was obviously a scam. Best to steer clear!

Got a call from a number in Bamburgh but I have no mates or family there, so it felt dodgy and I just ignored it, thinking it was probably some sort of spam or scam. Blocked it straight away. I wonder when the government will actually step up and tackle these annoying scammers? Why don’t the police, phone companies or Ofcom adopt the kind of call blocking tech that’s already common in places like the US? Seems like it’d make a real difference.
