So I was dealing with this place called USAYCOMPARE after giving them my phone number to get a private health insurance quote. They called me the following day with some offers. They seem legit enough, but I noticed something odd - their number looked like it was from the 01698 area, which it’s not. They’re basically spoofing it to make you think they’re local. I only handed over my mobile, but they already had my postcode from the form, so them going to that much effort just to get me on the line felt a bit dodgy to me.

I just submitted my info for a life insurance quote and this number rang me straight away.

I got a call on my mobile, then about an hour later the same number rang my landline, but I missed both. I looked up the number here to find out if it might be some kind of scam.

Right after I checked a life insurance quote, they kept ringing me non-stop for an entire hour - five calls in total. I’ve now blocked the number.

Been getting calls from this number like 3 times in just a couple hours. Just like everyone's saying, no one's picking up when I try to answer. I haven't signed up for anything or given my details out. Definitely not gonna be answering again.

Dodgy phone number, to be honest.

I just completed a form about private health insurance, and right after that, this number rang me up. Turns out, they were just after an online quote.

About two mins after I put in my info for health insurance, I got a call from one of the insurance agents.

I nearly got fooled by this phone number that looked like it was from someone local. Turns out, it's some telecom firm and they're really pushy. My lad almost answered thinking it was his grandma since the number was almost the same. Watch out for these sorts of calls!

I filled out a contact form for some private health insurance and then, maybe five minutes later, this number popped up with a missed call on my phone. Seems like it might be connected to the quotes I asked about.

Like what others said, I picked up and there was just silence on the other side. No one spoke or anything.

This number has rung me a number of times recently. I’m in the same area code, so naturally, I picked up. But there was nothing said when I answered. Feels a bit sketchy to me!
