This number keeps ringing me, claiming that my bank has some money for me. I've told them loads of times that I won't share any details on the phone and that I'll just go to my bank in person.

Got a call from an Asian guy who already knew my name and my previous address. He claimed a bank owed me money and that I'd get a cheque if I gave him my current postcode. I told him I had no idea who he was and ended the call. His English was really bad and the thick accent made it sound fishy right away. Totally seemed like a scam to me. Looked up the number afterwards and it came up as a Rochdale area code.

Got a call from an Asian guy who seemed to have my name and an old address but got the details wrong. He was saying I was due some money from a bank and if I gave him my current postcode, they’d send me a cheque. I just told him I didn’t know what he was on about and hung up. His English was really bad, thick accent, and it all sounded dodgy from the start. I looked up the number afterwards and it was from the Rochdale area. Pretty obvious scam to me.

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 from someone claiming I was owed £3000 due to some overcharged bank fees. Obviously, it’s a total con. If you’re with TalkTalk, you can stop these calls from bothering you again. Happened 14/11/17.

I'm really fed up with these calls. They keep claiming I've got money coming back from bank fees I've supposedly overpaid. The minute I try to get a word in, they just start shouting swear words at me and hang up. I've spoken to Sky about it, and they said they could block the calls, but it costs £34 a year. Honestly, I’m tempted to pay just to 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 a woman started talking, but I couldn’t catch what she was saying. I asked to speak to someone else instead. Then a man came on claiming he worked for some government office. He said I had been charged by the bank and that they were going to give me a refund. I told him I didn’t trust what he was saying at all and hung up straight away - wasn’t going to get drawn into that scam talk.

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!

Some bloke with an Asian accent rang me up saying he was from some government office and that I had a refund waiting. When I asked which department it was, he started blabbering on with some long explanation that was just gibberish to me. I told him to remove my number from whatever list they had, then he just abruptly ended the call.

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.

Got a random call from some bloke named Richard, said he was from a government office about some claim. I told him I didn't believe a word and he started swearing at me, calling me a 'f****** b*******' before slamming the phone down. Why aren't these muppets being tracked and stopped?

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 got a call from some stranger earlier today and when I told them I wasn’t up for talking, the person just lost it and kept dropping the F-bomb. It was really out of order and just not on at all.

Someone called me saying I had a refund from the government and said they’d send a cheque to my place. I didn’t share any bank info though. Now they’re ringing again, trying to confirm my details. It’s all a bit worrying, to be honest.

my granddaughter, who’s only seven, picked up the phone and someone asked for her mum, Sarah Campbell. When she replied, the person just told her to “go f*** yourself” and then just ended the call. They ring us quite a lot, but we’ve never had anything like this before. I’m really keen to find out who these people are.

Got a call from someone with an Indian accent trying to scam me about some bogus bank fees. Seemed totally dodgy and like a classic scam attempt. They kept pushing about charges that never existed. Be careful, folks!

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!
