Got a text from someone claiming to be Barclays saying a direct debit was arranged on my account. I asked questions to make sure and they just hung up on me. Their accents were really thick, sounded dodgy. Total scammers, definitely block and report!

Got a bunch of calls today from loads of different numbers but it was defo the same person. When I told him he sounded like someone from a dodgy call centre in India, he just chuckled. I've blocked every single number now, but I’m sure they’ll just ring me back on some other one.

I decided to block this number after receiving multiple annoying calls from a chappy with an Asian accent, purporting to be affiliated with EE’s Promotions. He was trying to persuade me into an early upgrade for my phone contract, insisting that there would be no extra charges involved. Quite frankly, I found it all rather dubious.

Got a call outta the blue from this number, some bloke saying he was with EE? I’m not even signed up with them. Told him I don’t entertain random calls and to put me off his dialing list. He just went silent, so I just ended the call. I was under the impression cold calls were banned nowadays?
