I got a call from someone with an Indian accent claiming to be from some lottery thing, said it was the Postcode Lottery and asked if they were speaking to me by name.

Got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent claiming I qualified for a postcode lottery discount and free airfare.

Got a call from 01985340783, a lady with an accent from East Asia or somewhere similar. She started gabbling about some lottery and a discount card they'd send me in the mail. When she asked me to confirm my info, I just ended the call there.

They claimed it was some kind of 'postcode lottery' but quickly switched to saying I qualified for gift and discount cards valued at £399. They asked to check my age first, and when I refused to answer, they just stopped calling. The caller sounded Indian and already had my phone number, name and postcode - no surprise there! I reckon this might be linked to a BT call centre data breach, or maybe they just dug up my details from an outdated BT directory.

I got a call from a lady with an Indian accent telling me I’d won a 50% discount card for shops in my area. When I asked which company she was from, I couldn’t catch what she said properly since I’m hard of hearing. She got annoyed and just hung up on me. I really don’t like when that happens, so I called back. Then there was a recorded message warning that the number might be a scam and to report it. Really suspicious. T####

I got a call claiming I’d won £399 and a voucher for nearby shops from the Postcode Lottery. They then asked how old I was. I told them if they were legit, they’d already have that info.

Got a call from some bloke with an Indian accent who said his name was Peter, telling me I’d won £399 in a lottery.

I got a call from a bloke mentioning something about the postcode lottery. I kept asking what exactly he wanted, but he just kept asking if I was <my name>. After a bit, he suddenly shouted, "I don't want anything!" and cut me off. A few minutes later, the same guy rang back and got proper nasty, claiming I was being abusive for asking him what he wanted in the first place. Then, out of the blue, he started saying some really inappropriate and invasive things about my privacy at home, repeating it over and over. Then he just hung up.

Got a call on my landline from someone claiming to be with the postcode lottery saying I had a prize waiting for me. They seemed to already know my name, phone number, and even where I live. They tried to push for more info, even asked an elderly lady for her bank details, which luckily she didn’t hand over.

I got a call from this number as well, saying I’d won £399 plus some vouchers for discounts at certain stores. I decided to mess with the woman on the line who had an Indian accent. Told her I’ve already bagged three prizes of £10 from the postcode lottery, so no need for my bank details - you must have them already. She got a bit annoyed and said it was a completely different department handling the payout. I then asked her where in India she was calling from, and she slipped up, claiming it was central London, but the area code actually links to Warminster. So I told her to do one and find a proper job, then hung up. Seconds later, the phone rang again from the same number. Didn’t pick up, but now the phone’s ringing again from that number as I type this. Watch out, it’s definitely a scam!

I picked up this number and heard a recorded voice, then a lady with an Indian accent talking, but there was no background noise. I was suspicious straight away and played along without sharing any of my personal details. The call was about some new savings account and debts, which sounded dodgy. Apparently, they said they’d ring me back tomorrow at 11:30am, but I’ve already blocked the number after checking it out on this site - it showed up as a dangerous scam, constantly harassing people. Glad I didn’t fall for it like I almost did, and nothing of mine got taken in the end.

Had a dodgy call from someone pretending to be from some credit management company, with a fake Indian accent, trying to scam me. Was close to falling for it but kept my cool and didn’t share any info. They told me to ring back tomorrow, but I blocked them straight away. Afterwards, I checked my bank and credit stuff - no funny business at all. Don’t let these scammers catch you out. Try messing with them a bit, like copying their accent to see if they crack or hang up. Usually they’ll switch back to normal English or just stop answering. Then just block and move on.
