Called by someone about my Life Insurance, saying it was from Aviva. I told them I don’t actually have it, then they tried saying it might be called AIG or Scottish Widows instead, which isn’t right at all. Definitely felt like a scam to me.

Had a ring from 0191 (Tyneside) 656 2043, but I didn’t pick up since the number was unfamiliar. They didn’t bother leaving a voicemail either, so I’m guessing it was just another annoying nuisance call.

They rang me about seven times in just a few days. Every time I answered, there was nothing but silence on the other side, no voice or background noise at all. Really hope they get what’s coming to them sometime soon.

I usually just let it ring through without picking up, even though they call me three times daily sometimes. I never bother returning the call because there’s no voicemail message left. It’s really annoying.

This number, 01916562043, keeps ringing me up every single Thursday. I wonder what their game is? Seems like it's all about cash, cash and more cash. No wonder they bother calling so often, must be chasing money.

I've blocked the number but it still keeps calling over and over. When I do pick up, there’s just silence on the other end. Afterwards, I always get a voicemail that's quiet and lasts about 4 seconds. Really annoying!

What a load of rubbish these scammers are! One day they call pretending to be life insurance reps, then the next they say they’re from BT about some cable job nearby. After that, they tried car finance nonsense, and the following day claimed to be from the council worrying about mould and damp problems. Got fed up putting them on so I’ve blocked them completely now. Be careful and stay clear of these lot - they’re clearly desperate to pinch anyone’s details.
