I keep receiving calls from this number claiming that my bank has a refund waiting for me. I've made it clear repeatedly that I won't disclose any personal details over the phone, as I intend to verify everything with my own bank directly.

An Asian gentleman called me, apparently in possession of my name and previous address. He claimed that I was entitled to some funds from a bank, and that a cheque would be dispatched upon my confirmation of my current postcode. I replied with a firm “no, I have no idea who you are.” He promptly ended the call. From the beginning, it struck me as dubious-his command of English was quite lacking, and his accent was noticeably strong. It's undoubtedly a scam. A quick lookup of the number revealed it to be linked to the Rochdale area.

I just had a rather suspicious call from an Asian gentleman who seemed to know my name and previous address. He claimed that a bank owed me some money and said a cheque would be sent my way if I confirmed my current postcode. I promptly retorted, ‘I have no idea who you are,’ and he promptly ended the call. Right from the outset, it felt dodgy - his English was quite poor, and his accent was thick. No doubt in my mind, it's a scam. A quick lookup of the number pointed back to the Rochdale area.

I wouldn’t pick up if I were you, this number’s connected with some dodgy scammer types. Definitely best to ignore it!

Got a call from a lady with an Asian accent, asking for someone I've never come across. I told her she must have dialled the wrong number, but she kept pressing me for that person's whereabouts. Then she started on some long-winded story that made no sense to me since I ain't the person she wanted. I said I was going to hang up, but she just carried on chatting as I put the phone down!

I got a call from a woman with an Indian accent saying she worked for some government agency and that my bank had overcharged me, so I was owed a refund. She wanted my birthday, but when I said I'd only give that info if she told me her details first since she called me, she just ended the call out of nowhere. Honestly, hate these kinds of scammy callers. It’s annoying dealing with them.

Got a call from some woman with a strong Asian accent rambling about me being charged for stuff I never agreed to and that I would get my money back. She kept asking me to confirm my address, even though she obviously had it right there! Honestly, it felt pretty dodgy and made me worried.

I got a call from an Asian guy claiming he worked for some government agency and was sending me a cheque to cover old bank fees. What freaked me out the most was he knew my address! When I asked which bank he meant, all he said was he was with a government department. I told him we're registered with the telephone preference service and if he rings again, I’m reporting him to the cops. Then I just said bye and ended the call. Honestly, the fact he could name my exact address really worried me.

Got a call today from 01706230929, an Asian guy saying he was from the government and wanted to refund bank fees I supposedly overpaid. Asked for my Date of Birth - watch out, this sounds dodgy!

Received a call claiming they had a cheque of £3,000 for me due to overpaid bank fees. It's definitely a scam! If you're with TalkTalk, you can prevent them from ringing again. Just a heads up - this happened on the 14th of November, 2017.

I'm absolutely fed up with these incessant phone calls! They keep insisting that I'm entitled to a refund for overpaid bank charges, but the moment I try to say anything, they just resort to shouting and cursing, then hang up on me! I've been in touch with Sky, and they've informed me that they can block these irritating calls, but it comes at a yearly fee of £34. Honestly, I'm starting to think that coughing up the cash might be worth it to finally get some peace!

Got a call from a number in Rochdale, the bloke asked if I was me by name. I told him I wasn’t about and offered to take a message, but he just started getting all rude. Looks like some dodgy business, honestly. Ha!

My elderly mum received a call from an Asian gentleman who already had her full name and address, including the postcode. He began to say that he was going to visit her over Christmas, which completely baffled her. Mum told him she had no idea who he was, but he kept insisting they had met at some party and that he’d be turning up at her place for the holidays. If this was meant as a prank, it was really unsettling as it made her feel unsafe knowing someone out there had all her details. We’re seriously thinking about informing the police about this.

Received a call from a lady, sounded Asian, asking for my mum. She mentioned something about a cheque being sent as a refund for old bank fees. The weird bit was she had my mum's previous address but was pushing to get her new one. I told her I wasn’t comfortable sharing that info on a call, then suddenly the line just dropped.

I picked up the phone and to my surprise, a woman was on the line. Unfortunately, her words were utterly baffling, so I politely requested to speak to someone else. That’s when a chap came on, claiming to hail from a government agency. He insisted that I was due a refund for some bank charges I had allegedly incurred. I was highly sceptical of his claims and decided to end the call rather than entertain what sounded like a classic scam.

I got a call from a man with an Asian accent asking for me, but there was loads of static that kept cutting the call. He talked about sending me a cheque and then something about bank fees, but it was so hard to hear because of all the interference. Suddenly the line just dropped on me.

Caller was an Asian guy but the line was really crackly so I couldn’t catch anything. There was loads of noise, like a busy call centre or something in the back. I just ended the call.

Got a few calls from this number over the past couple days - hung up straight away so no clue who it was. The most irritating part was this morning at 9am, right when we were waiting on an important hospital call. Would really appreciate if someone could find out who they are and stop them from calling again.

Got a call from someone claiming we were due a cheque from the government. They asked me to come to the door to accept it. The person on the other end got pretty pushy and rude when I hesitated.

These idiots called me today and I had enough. I asked them straight up who they were and what the hell they wanted, and this rude bloke with an Asian accent just told me to f##k off! Honestly, I hope the cops catch them first, cause if I do, there’ll be hell to pay. I’m ready to give that slimy telemarketer a proper earful and show him what happens to people who keep ringing like that! Not in the slightest bit pleased!

I received a call from a chap who had an Asian accent, asserting that he was representing some kind of government office regarding a refund I was supposedly entitled to. When I inquired about which department he was from, he launched into a long-winded explanation that left me utterly bewildered; it really didn’t add up at all. I told him to take my number off their contact list, and without skipping a beat, he just hung up. Quite the dodgy character, if you ask me!

When ya get cold calls, best thing to do is just cut them off straight away. If you sit there and actually listen, they probably add u to some kind of 'willing to chat' list. Then it's like ur number gets passed around loads, even traded by dodgy groups. So just hang up fast, don’t give them the time.

I was on the receiving end of an unsolicited call from a bloke who identified himself as 'Richard'. He claimed to be from a government office and was rambling on about some sort of claim. I had my suspicions about his legitimacy and pointed it out, which seemed to trigger him. He resorted to hurling rude insults my way, including some rather colourful language, before slamming the phone down. Is anyone actively pursuing these rogue callers?

Once again, no answer. Yesterday they called saying something about a refund if I gave my info, probably trying to sneak in extra fees. Not falling for that again.

I received an unsolicited call earlier today, and when I mentioned that I wasn't interested in continuing the conversation, the caller became exceedingly rude, hurling obscenities left and right. Honestly, it's quite intolerable behaviour!

I was informed that it was a cheque for a government refund, delivered right to my door. I refrained from sharing any bank information. Now, someone is calling back to confirm the details, which is rather unnerving.

My seven-year-old granddaughter picked up the phone earlier, only to be met with a rather rude caller. They enquired about her mother, Sarah Campbell, and then shockingly told her to "go f*** herself" before hanging up. It's absolutely baffling! I’d really like to find out who these individuals are, as they've been calling repeatedly, but this is the first time such a disgraceful comment has been made.

I got a call from someone claiming to be with the Ministry of Justice saying I was entitled to a refund for all the bank fees I supposedly paid. The bloke spoke with a foreign accent, but just as he was going into details about the refund, the call dropped. Total load of rubbish though because I’ve never been charged any bank fees in over 30 years of having an account!
