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 I reckon this might be linked to a BT call centre data breach, or maybe they just dug up my details from an outdated BT directory.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####

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.

Received a call from someone claiming to be from the postal lottery, asserting that I’d snagged myself some gift or discount cards. Naturally, it’s just another scam, isn’t it? I had a bit of fun toying with them by dodging their question about my age, which apparently would have unlocked ‘even more perks’ for me. It’s all just a transparent attempt at data harvesting.

I received a call from a gentleman regarding the 'postcode lottery'. Despite my attempts to clarify his needs, he repeatedly inquired about my name instead. In a sudden outburst, he yelled, 'I don't need anything!' before abruptly ending the call. Just a short while later, he rang back and was exceedingly rude. He accused me of being disrespectful for persistently asking for his intentions. Then, shockingly, he voiced some rather inappropriate and invasive desires concerning my personal space at home, reiterating them multiple times. Subsequently, he cut the line again.

I received a call on my home landline from someone claiming to be with the postcode lottery, insisting there’s a prize waiting to be claimed. They already knew my name, phone number and address, but were after more personal information. Thankfully, they attempted to coax bank details out of an elderly lady, but she was wise enough not to divulge them.

I recently received a rather dubious telephone call from this number, with the caller asserting that I’d won a prize of £399 along with some discount vouchers for various retailers. I decided to engage with a woman who spoke with an Indian accent, and I casually mentioned that, having already claimed three amounts of £10 from the post code lottery, they ought to have my bank details on file. This seemed to irritate her somewhat, as she insisted this was a separate department responsible for dispatching the funds. When I cheekily inquired where in India she was ringing from, she erroneously claimed to be based in central London, despite the fact that the area code clearly indicated a location near Warminster. At that point, I told her to go find a legitimate job and hung up. Just a couple of minutes later, the same number called again, which I chose to ignore. And now, as I'm penning this, the phone is ringing once more with that same number flashing on my screen. Take heed, folks; this is undoubtedly a scam!

I received a rather intriguing call about the postcode lottery here in the UK, claiming I was in line to win some shopping vouchers. To sweeten the deal, they offered a holiday and an added £399 for someone my age. I played along for a bit, but the moment he mentioned transferring me to his supervisor, I realised it was all a con. The chap clearly had an Indian accent and was operating out of a call centre. Quite the dodgy setup!

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.

I was almost duped by a local fraudster who was attempting to impersonate someone with an Indian accent, claiming they could help with credit management. Thankfully, I saw through their charade and didn’t divulge any personal information. They wanted me to ring back tomorrow, but that’s not happening-I've already blocked their number! I double-checked my credit management and bank accounts, and all is secure with no signs of any fraudulent activity. Don't fall for it, folks! If you find yourself in a similar situation, why not turn the tables and try scamming the scammer? Put on an accent and see how long they keep up their act before giving themselves away. If they don’t respond, just block the number and move on!
