7 yearsGot a call from 01685878249, some bloke claiming to be John Parker from Claims Advisory Group. He gave me a reference number and told me his boss would ring me later, which actually happened. Funny thing is, last week I got a call from a different name and number. Looks like I'll be hanging about tomorrow just to mess around with them a bit more.John ParkerClaims Advisory Group7 yearsGot a call from 01685878249 saying they were from John Parker Advisory Group and that my bank had charged me too much, mentioning a refund. Funny thing is, last week it was a totally different name and number. Now I’m just hanging about, hoping the boss rings so I can have a bit of fun wasting his time.John Parker7 yearsGot a call from 01685878249 saying something about an advisory group and John Parker, claiming the bank overcharged me and a refund’s on its way. Funny thing is, last week it was a totally other number and name. Now I’m just hanging around, hoping the boss rings me back so I can keep them hanging instead.John Parker7 yearsThis guy keeps calling me, claiming my bank's paid me too much and I’m owed a refund. When I give him a made-up birthdate, he just confirms it anyway. He asks you to get Amazon gift cards to cover some ‘solicitor fees’ of £200, promising to send a cheque for £3600 afterwards. Really hope no one falls for this scam.Amazon7 yearsGot a call from some guy with a really thick Asian accent, kept asking for me by name. When I asked who he was, he just repeated asking for me again. I asked twice who was calling but then he just cut off the call. Tried ringing back but the number comes up as unknown. Would love to catch these pesky scammers!7 yearsMy mum mentioned she’s had a couple of calls today where they asked for her date of birth. I told her that if the caller isn’t showing up with a name on her phone, it’s better to just let it ring and not pick up.7 yearsI've been getting calls from this number nonstop, but my phone flags it as spam so I just ignore any calls I don't recognise. Feels a bit sketchy if you ask me!7 yearsThis bloke said he was ringing from the UK government about supposed bank fees I'd supposedly paid. I confused him by asking a question, and he just restarted his spiel from scratch. He already had my name and address but then wanted me to verify my date of birth. I told him to say what info he had and I’d confirm it. He guessed some date from the 1920s! I told him that’s wrong and when he asked for my real dob, I replied if he’s got that wrong, probably everything else was dodgy too. Then he just hung up on me.7 yearsGot a call off someone saying it was about getting money back from the bank. They actually used my first name and knew where I lived, which was a bit creepy. Then they asked for my date of birth, but I didn’t want to give it out. Right after that, they just hung up. I’ve now blocked the number on my landline.Submit Your Own Report (01685 878249)
