I usually ignore calls from numbers I don’t recognise unless I know someone’s meant to ring me. Luckily, I decided to look this one up first. It was one of those dodgy calls claiming to be from a phone company or some insurance outfit - could they be any more blatant?! It’s really worrying how many folks get caught out and lose loads of money to these con artists. Something’s gotta be done, and fast. The phone companies and government should really step in and put a stop to this nonsense ASAP!

Got a call from someone claiming to be from EE, saying I could get a discount, but then they started asking for my bank card info. Definitely felt like a scam, turned out to be from India or somewhere. Watch out, folks!

They pretended to be from O2 but they absolutely were not. Totally dodgy!

Just got a call claiming I could get a discount on Virgin Media. Sounded like a sales pitch to me, so I didn’t bother with it. Probably just another telemarketer trying their luck.

Blocked yet another dodgy caller. Can anyone tell me where Wigtown is?

They called me three times over a few days, each time using my surname and claiming to discuss my life insurance. The first call was about my supposed policy, the second about upgrading it. I told her I didn’t have any such policy, and she just hung up. Despite that, she’s phoned me two more times since. Watch out because if you do have a policy with them, they might try to trick you into handing over bank info or making a payment. It’s clear she already knew I didn’t have a policy, so I reckon this company is either sketchy or not playing by the rules.

Not too sure what was going on here. Got three calls all within a minute, but no one said a word on the other end. Also, one call popped up from another Leeds number right in the middle of these three calls. Strange!

Got a call claiming I could get 45% off my EE plan, but I don't even have one with them. Another scam for sure.

I picked up but couldn’t quite catch where the person said she was calling from, sounded something about life insurance though. It felt dodgy to me, so I just ended the call right there without asking any questions.

Got a call from someone who knew my full name and told me my life insurance was due for renewal. Problem is, I don’t even have a life insurance policy! When I asked them which company they were from, they wouldn’t say. Told them if they keep calling I’d report them to the TPS.
