Got a call outta nowhere from some dodgy insurance lot. Definitely one of those scams, so best to just not pick up!

I've been getting calls from this number nonstop all week. I usually don’t pick up if I don’t know who it is. After checking some reviews, it looks like a scam, so I've just blocked it now.

Had a couple of rings from this number before it went quiet. I've seen it flagged as a dodgy Telecoms line on various sites. Interestingly, I noticed some folks were under the impression it was linked to job offers. Not quite relevant for me, being retired! Plus, I’m tucked away on a little Hebridean island, so the chances are slim. 🙂

Got a call from someone claiming to be a housing officer. The voice was automated but it definitely wasn’t just a simple pre-recorded message. Felt a bit off, like one of those scams trying to sound legit. Be wary!

I got a call from someone saying they were a repair company about some repairs I supposedly asked for. Thing is, I never called anyone about that! He knew my name but I didn’t say if it was me. I asked who he was, and he said he was from the Council following up on repairs I'd reported. I just told him he must have the wrong number, and he hung up straight away. I've blocked that number now.

He rang up asking if there was mould or damp in the house, I just told him that’s private and none of his concern.

I got a call from an automated robot saying it was my housing provider about some repairs I’d apparently asked about. As soon as I told them I wasn’t interested, the call just ended on them. Pretty dodgy if you ask me!

Got a call from someone saying they were with the council, doing property repairs or something like that, and that I had put in a repair request. They already knew my name, which made me suspicious. So, I asked them which address the repair was for, but they couldn’t say, then just hung up on me. Definitely felt like a dodgy scam!

Got a call from this number but didn't pick up. Did a quick online check and found out it's reported as a scam, so best to avoid.

Just got hit up by one of those dodgy accident scam calls again.

I got a call about some accident, sounded like a total scam. When I told the bloke I wasn’t buying it, he went off on me, swearing and calling me all sorts of names! Proper rude, so dodgy. 😳

Didn’t even realise my phone blocked this one automatically until I had a look through my missed calls. Guess reporting actually makes a difference after all.

As I attempted to pick up the call, the line went silent. What an annoyance!

Bit annoying this one, I told them straight away to take me off their calling list before I gave any details, but the guy kept pressing me for a reason? Like, how would he even know why I’m getting their call? They say they're about injury claims, but I’ve never had any accident so it was obvious they were trying to scam me.

Received a call about some "accident from the past year" apparently. They were trying to get all my personal info, felt like a total scam.

I received a phone call from someone purporting to be from Motor Insurance Claims, supposedly regarding my claim. The caller, a woman with a noticeable foreign accent, introduced herself as Erica. I've promptly blocked her number!

I got a call from 01782 476242 about some accident I supposedly had. I didn’t want to talk and they kept pushing, all huffing and puffing down the line. Honestly, it feels like these companies just pile more stress onto folks who already have enough on their plates.

Got a call from a number I didn’t recognise, 01782 476242, just about 5 in the evening. Figured it was probably a scam, so I didn’t pick up.

Terrible connection, I couldn't really hear what was being said.

I got a call from 01782 476242 around 6.20 in the evening, but as soon as I picked up, they just put the phone down! These scammers are honestly disgusting!!!

Got a call from someone named Erica, claiming to be from Motor Insurance Claims. She spoke with a heavy Indian accent. When I asked for the company name and details about the claim, she ended the call straight away after I said I suspected it was a scam. Definitely looks like a dodgy number to me.

kept getting these annoying calls from some overseas number, they were speaking in really broken English and it was all just spammy stuff. so frustrating!

I got a call from some motor cover place, sounded like an Indian lady on the line. Not sure what it was about, but seemed a bit off to me.

Got a call meant for my wife - her number finishes with 87, mine’s just one digit off, ending in 88. Seems like they’re just dialing through numbers in order.

I picked up when they called but they just dropped the call. So, I tried ringing them back, the phone rang for a bit and then they ended it. Strange behaviour!

It's been so annoying! They keep ringing me every few minutes, like literally every 5 mins. I finally picked up one time and just as I did, they went quiet and hung up on me.
