Absolute time wasters, honestly.

I hung up pretty quick, it was obvious a scam from the start. The way the caller spoke, sounded like they’d messed about with their voice somehow.

Got a call meant for someone else, so I told them they’d got the wrong number. Then the bloke said I might want to hear what he was offering. I just said nah, don’t think so, and ended the call.

This morning my phone buzzed and it was a guy calling. When he couldn’t say my name right, he just ended the call. Pretty clear it was some scam attempt, so annoying!

Got a call from a woman with a strong accent who somehow knew my name, though she said it wrong. I couldn’t quite make out the organisation she claimed to be from, but then she rattled off my exact postcode and asked if she could ask a few questions about my house. I told her I wasn’t interested and ended the call. I usually ignore unknown numbers, but was waiting to hear from the hospital about some tests I’d had recently. These calls really don’t seem to care that you’ve got more pressing stuff on your mind!
