Got a call from a woman, I think she was from India, asking if my gas boiler was functioning properly. I told her she should probably find out first if the person she’s calling even has a gas boiler… since there’s no gas supply at all where I live. She just ended the call right after that.

Got a call from an Asian guy who said he was from Domestic and General, knew my name and wanted me to confirm my address. Then he started going on about Direct Debit, so I just ended the call right there.

I received a rather dodgy phone call from this number, with the caller claiming to be from "Green Home Assist," trying to sell me some insurance for my gas boiler or something similar. Just moments later, I got another peculiar call from someone insisting they were a detective from Scotland Yard. Quite the odd sequence, if you ask me!

I received a call from a number claiming to be British Gas Homecare, inquiring about the insurance for a boiler. They didn’t have my name but were quite persistent in asking for my mother, which was odd since she’s been gone for a decade. When I mentioned that she had passed away, they hung up rather abruptly. Quite eerie, to say the least!

Got a call from a woman with a strong Asian accent pretending to be from British Gas about some boiler service contract. I'm renting through a housing association, so all that stuff is already sorted for me. Plus, I don't even use British Gas! I nicely told her to buzz off. Seems like a total scam to me.

I received a call from 01970629940, claiming to be from Domestic and General. I've got a few appliances covered by them, but he mentioned some that I don’t even have. At first, I didn’t suspect anything fishy; he came across as quite sincere.

Total scam, without a doubt. Got a call with a lot of background noise, and the line was really rubbish. Some woman said she was from British Gas and wanted me to verify my info (didn't give anything away but she oddly seemed to know my details). She said it was for sending out new papers about an upgraded boiler service. As soon as I told her I wasn't convinced she was genuine, she just cut the call.

Seems like that dodgy boiler scam is back in town. After seeing those two dodgy blokes, Galloway and Farage, pulling their tricks, it was a bit of a laugh calling out another low-grade con artist trying to blag details for their own benefit. Pretty much the same sort of grubby behaviour as those two, if you ask me.

I received a call yesterday from someone claiming to offer a newly trimmed-down three-year contract for my washing machine. Curiously, they even inquired about the model, which made me wonder why they didn’t already have that information on hand. The caller was quite adept at using all the right terminology, hinting that if my washer was beyond repair, alternatives could be arranged. When I mentioned my current renewal costs significantly higher than what they were promoting, the chap proceeded to ask how old my machine was. I told him it was well over five years, to which he abruptly ended the call. It certainly felt like a well-crafted scheme designed to ensnare unsuspecting folks.

I got a call from someone claiming to be British Gas about our boiler. They seemed to know loads about us already. My missus answered, but as soon as she said the name on the account wasn’t hers, they just cut off. Bit suspicious if you ask me.

Someone called me earlier looking for a Mr Michael Fish, which was a bit odd! The caller said her name was Sandra something, but she had a strong foreign accent that made it hard to catch everything. When I asked which company she was from, her answer was totally unclear. After a bit of back and forth, the line just went dead. Feels like one of those call centre scam calls to me.

Definitely not British Gas calling here. They wanted to check my ‘service contract’ that I never signed up for. When I said I didn’t have one, they accused me of messing around with them. Then they dropped the line they know my name and address - felt more like a threat than just a bluff to me.

Got a couple of calls from this number, so I finally picked up. The lady on the other end wanted to talk to someone with a certain surname, but I didn’t confirm anything and told her it would depend who was asking. She then gave me a bit of a lecture about being polite before hanging up. A couple of hours later, she rang back but I ignored it. She spoke with a strong Indian accent - seemed like a classic scam trying to get personal details.

I got a call from a woman claiming she was from some company named UK Now. She spoke with an Indian accent and even knew my name, which was a bit suspicious. She said she was checking to confirm my address and then mentioned an old address of mine. I told her that was no longer where I live but didn't feel comfortable sharing my current details. She cut the call right away after that. Looks like they were probably fishing for info to pass on or sell to others updating their records. I’d steer clear of them.

Got a call about 8.15 in the mornin, sounded like it was from some sort of call centre - you could hear loads of chatter in the background. The person had a really thick accent and I couldn’t make out a word they were sayin. Asked them to say it again and they just hung up. Tried looking up the number but no business details showed up, so my guess is its one of those calls where they’re just checking if people pick up unknown numbers, not really a scam or phishing thing. Still, it didn’t feel proper or anything.
