Just had a ring a short while back, but it showed up as 'possible spam' so I didn’t pick up and let it ring through to voicemail. No surprise there, no message was left. Blocked the number straight away.

About an hour back, I got a call from these people who somehow already knew my name. They mentioned I'd been checking out their Facebook page for a holiday and asked if I wanted them to explain more about it. Honestly, if I'm booking a holiday, I’m not going to do it with some stranger ringing me up. I’ve blocked their number straight away.

What a con! Really happy I stumbled across this site before getting caught up in it.

Got a call about loft insulation from a woman’s voice but I reckon it wasn’t a real person. It felt like some kind of automated system reacting to what I said, but it just didn’t get what I was trying to explain. Proper confusing!

My phone flagged the call as possible spam, so I looked up the number here first. Honestly, I’m glad I didn’t pick up - would’ve been funny to mess with whoever it was. In the end, I’m pleased I checked because I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.

Got a call from someone claiming to be an energy consultant who asked if I owned the house. Told them no, and they kept pushing for more details. Ended up just hanging up and blocking the number straight away.

Got a call outta nowhere on Saturday morning, seemed like it was from overseas. My phone showed it as spam, so I just let it ring out.

I've had this number ring me a bunch of times lately. Didn't pick up 'cause it seemed a bit dodgy. Funny I decided to look it up now, feels like a good call.

My call protector flagged this one as a likely nuisance. It’s a rather bothersome chap claiming to be from Select Lifestyle, insisting I fill out a brief questionnaire. Quite tiresome really!

They called a few times after I said I was at work, reckon it was some sort of Lifestyle Survey or something like that. They’ve rung me back about five times now.

Pretty sure it was one of those scam calls.

Got a call from some bloke with an Indian accent who said his name was Nick and that he was ringing from the housing repair team nearby. Problem is, the number showed up as Scottish but I don’t live anywhere near Scotland. I told him he was lying but he kept insisting he was legit. When I suggested he was probably calling from a scam call centre back in India, he just hung up on me.

Just got a call from this number today, but my phone flagged it as spam and hung up the call before I even had a chance to answer. After seeing all these comments, probably didn’t lose anything important.

Chances are this is a dodgy phishing attempt! Looks like a phony survey to me.

I came across a survey that was all about choosing your lifestyle, apparently. It was quite interesting although a bit unexpected to get asked about personal choices like that. Has anyone else done one of these before? Seems like an odd way to get info, if you ask me.

I went ahead and blocked that number since I thought it might be spam.

Got a call from this number today. The line was really bad, and the person on the other side said nothing at all. Felt like it might have been some kind of robo-caller??

Total scam, definitely steer clear of that one.

Some bloke with an accent said he was from the housing repairs crew, asking if I had any damp or mould issues in my home. I told him no, and he just said thanks for your time and hung up. I could hear what sounded like a noisy call centre behind him, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number.

I got a call from a man who claimed there was an issue with our washing machine insurance at a place we moved out of over 15 years ago. Before I could say anything, he just hung up on me.

Been getting calls from this number a few times, but I never picked up. Looked it up here to see what others said and decided to block it now. Cheers to everyone who shared their experiences!

This number kept calling me a couple of times but never bothered to leave any message. I reckon it’s probably one of those scams, telemarketers, or maybe a survey attempt.

Someone called asking for me by name and just started yelling down the phone. When I told them I wasn’t interested, they kept shouting and then just hung up on me.

Got a call from some number in Scotland. I’ve no mates over that way, so yeah, definitely a scammer trying his luck :(

This number keeps calling me repeatedly which felt a bit odd. I picked up once, but as soon as the person on the other end asked for my husband - who passed away years ago - I quickly ended the call. When I tried ringing it back, the voicemail said they were from ‘Select Lifestyle’ and wanted to conduct a brief survey. Strange behaviour if you ask me!

After checking out the info here, I’m still not sure what to make of it, so I’ve labelled it as unknown.

I got this number blocked straight away, seemed really dodgy to me.
