8 yearsWas really hard to make out what she was saying, definitely not Asian, probably from some African place. She kept going on about me being due a refund and even knew my name and full address. I hung up just before she could start asking for my bank info.Asia8 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Indian accent claiming to be from the UK government. I told her it seemed dodgy and she just cut me off straight away. This isn’t the first time it’s happened either. I’ve reported it to the ICO and really hope they take action. Being on the TPS clearly doesn’t stop these calls at all!UKInformation Commissioner β s OfficeTelephone Preference Service8 yearsI got a call from a woman with a Chinese accent saying she was working for the UK government and that I was due some money. I played along for a bit in the chat but then told her to buzz off. Funny thing is, I’m registered with TPS anyway, so not sure how they got my number.UKTelephone Preference Service8 yearsWhen I picked up, there was ages of silence before anything was said - pretty clear it was a scam. I just left it and got on with my work. The person spoke with an Asian accent but I couldn't catch what they said, then they just ended the call. I've blocked that number straight away.8 yearsGot a call from some bloke who sounded Asian, claiming he was my wife's boyfriend. Honestly, what a nobhead with nothing better to do!8 yearsthis number has been ringing me loads asking for some person who doesnt even live at my address. the moment i tell them that, they just end the call right away before i get a chance to tell them to stop calling. its really annoying.8 yearsGot a call out of the blue and I’m always a bit on edge when I don’t recognise the number. Figured it’d be a scam of some sort. The person said something about money owed and said it was from a UK government agency, their accent sounded East Asian and they spoke quite politely. I just said no thanks and hung up. Apparently, my number’s meant to be ex directory or something.UKEast Asia8 yearsIt’s enough to drive anyone bonkers, honestly!8 yearsGot a call from some dodgy bloke with a foreign accent, sounded Asian or something. He wanted to talk to someone who’s actually dead. I didn’t say anything about that person, just asked why he was after them. Instead of answering, he just hung up. Pretty clear it was some sort of scam, so be careful with calls like that.8 yearsSome bloke with an Asian accent, if you can call it that, claimed he worked for an accountancy firm in Manchester that 'investigates' embezzlement stuff. I asked if he wanted me to connect him with our fraud team. After that, he just ended the call.ManchesterSubmit Your Own Report (01698 811587)
