I got a call from 01685 871 052, a bloke with an Asian accent. He somehow knew my name and where I live, but when I asked him what the call was about, he just hung up on me. Quite odd really.

Picked up the phone and they just hung up straight away. Pretty sure it was a scammer trying to pass off as Marks & Spencer.

Called my mum, who’s a sprightly 96 and quite with it, and they wouldn’t pass on my number when she asked for me. Quite amusing, really!

Got a few calls from this number today. A man with an Asian accent asked if he was speaking to me and wanted me to confirm my address. He mentioned that someone would be in touch about my washing machine, then just hung up. Bit strange really.

Just like loads of others have said here, they actually knew my name and postcode, then suddenly said something about my washing machine before hanging up with a quick "bye bye". Honestly, these calls freak me out a bit. What exactly are they after?

Got two calls from this number earlier today, didn't answer since I didn't know who it was. But after reading everyone else’s experiences here, reckon it’s definitely a scam.

I let every call roll onto my answerphone, but as usual, there’s no message. The caller just hung up as soon as I picked up.

Got a call from a woman who claimed to be British but sounded Asian, using a fake name. She said she was ringing from Hotpoint. When I told her I didn't live at that address anymore, she just cut the call straight away! Definitely a scam, 100%.

Someone rang saying they’re from Hotpoint, really pushy to get me to admit I was the right person. I kept refusing to say yes first. When I asked what it was about before I gave any info, she snapped back, “fine, if you’re not telling me anything, I’m not telling you either, bye”. Proper impolite behaviour.

I got a call from a guy with an Asian accent who asked for me by name right away and then wanted me to confirm my first name. I told him I needed to know who he was before saying anything. He said something about M & S and asked me to confirm my house number and postcode. Then he started going on about a washing machine - which is odd cos I’ve never bought one from M & S. Suddenly, the line went dead. Felt a bit sketchy for sure, and honestly, it’s worrying that they already had my name and address details.

So this number, 01685871052, was buzzing me and it was some lady with an Indian accent saying she was ringing from M&S. She wanted me to verify my name, which I did, then she asked for my postcode. That’s when I ended the call.

I thought it was dodgy so I called back and some automated voice said the number wasn’t recognised or something. Definitely seems like a scam.

About four hours back this morning (Saturday), my phone buzzed but straight away went to voicemail, then the caller hung up. The number was unfamiliar, so I guessed it was probably some random nuisance call. Looks like the other replies here were right about it too.

Got a call from someone saying they were from M&S, but it was clearly a scammer from Pakistan trying to get my personal details. Stay safe folks!

On the morning of 13th October, around 11, I received a call from a man with an Indian accent who introduced himself as Robin. He said he was ringing from M&S and even mentioned my address, saying he wanted to verify my details. When I asked him when I had given permission under GDPR for this call, he didn’t say a word. I then requested his contact number, but he just ended the call. I doubt M&S would handle things like that, so I reckon it was likely a scam, probably trying to get bank info next. I've gone ahead and reported it.

Got a call from a guy calling himself Kevin, sounded Asian. He was creepy knowing my surname already. Kept asking questions about my Hotpoint washing machine, even though I told him I've never had one. He just dropped the call right after that. Pretty obvious it was a scam.

No doubt it was one of those call centres - I could hear loads of background chatter and there was a strange lag once I picked up. The caller sounded foreign and mentioned a name that wasn’t mine, so they must have old info on me. When I asked a question, they just said ‘no’ straight away.

Morning and already two calls - I'd say that's pretty risky.

Just like others here, they knew my name, my address and even my postcode. When I asked who they were, they said they were calling from M&S. Said it had something to do with my washing machine and that I'd get another call soon. Then the bloke just ended the call.

I received a rather suspicious call earlier, where the person on the other end inquired if I was Mrs ...... and if my postcode was ........ As I was just waking up and a bit groggy, I foolishly confirmed both. The caller claimed to represent M & S, mentioning something about my washing machine before abruptly hanging up. The thing is, I don't even own a washing machine from M & S! It all seems rather dodgy and has left me feeling quite uneasy, especially since they've got my name and postcode now.

A guy with a foreign accent called saying he was from M&S, saying they needed to update some information. He actually knew my last name and even asked me how to say my first name properly. When I told him I didn't want to update anything, he just said "your call" and then ended the call. Very strange!

Some bloke with an Asian accent keeps ringing up, always asking for a Mr Richard Stonemen. We’ve never had anyone by that name living here. I’ve told them repeatedly to take our number off their list, but they keep on calling regardless. It’s really frustrating because my husband works nights and he’s been woken up several times by the phone going off while he’s trying to get some rest.

About half an hour ago, a lady with an Asian accent called asking for Mr ?? When he answered, she asked if he was Mr ?? and claimed to be calling from M & S, checking if he lived at ??? postcode. He denied it and ended the call, as we both thought it was a total scam!
