I am so fed up with these useless idiots who just wont stop calling me! I block every single one, but somehow they always manage to call again from different numbers. Cheers for helping me figure out who's behind it all!! Wishing you loads of success!! Judy L.

Got a call from this posh bloke saying I’d apparently agreed to something, but the moment I asked for details, he started swearing at me.

Got a call from a man with an Indian accent, telling me my fridge-freezer warranty was up. Problem is, we actually have a separate fridge and freezer, not a combined one. Total scam, as usual. Blocking the number doesn’t help since they just switch to new ones all the time.

Got a call around 8.30 this morning, some lot saying they were from a medical alert service. They reckoned we might qualify for one. When I asked who sent them our way, they just said no one had. We have had a few health worries recently, so it caught my attention. They said some kind of survey happened nearby and they were ringing to share details. Couldn’t really answer the stuff I asked, so I just blocked the number - felt like a scam to me.

Got a call from some bloke about insulation, told him I’m all sorted and ended the call. He rang straight back asking why I’d hung up. I just told him I wasn’t interested and hung up again.

I received a phone call from a company claiming they were keen to organise a complimentary inspection for spray foam loft insulation. When I explained that we don’t have that sort of insulation, her response was that they'd still carry out an inspection on what we do possess. The level of pressure was quite intense, as she kept insisting that we definitely needed their services, despite my consistent refusals. She mentioned that our name would be removed from their list after the survey, which hardly reassured me. The call was extraordinarily loud; it sounded like a bustling call centre in the background, making it difficult for me to hear her clearly, something I kept pointing out to her, yet she just continued incessantly reiterating her script. In the end, she either hung up or got disconnected... very odd!

I picked up the phone and some bloke with an Asian accent started talking about inspecting loft insulation. I told him he was actually the third caller telling me the same story. I told him I wasn’t interested and asked him to remove my number. He got quite nasty and said they’d be ringing me daily. When I chuckled and said “Seriously?”, he just slammed the phone down. Honestly, I think I’ll just stop answering my landline unless it’s someone I know or I’m in the mood for a scrap with some dodgy caller!

I got a call from someone called Sam who claimed to be with a Home Help Company, offering a lifeline alarm thing because apparently I qualified. He already had my name, which was a bit odd, but the number he was calling from made me suspicious right away. I just told him to piss off. Pretty obvious they were trying to scam me.

Got a call from some bloke from India saying my washing machine warranty had run out. He offered to cover it for another 2 years for just £6.00. Kept pestering me about the brand of the machine, so I told him to take my number off their list and never ring me again. I've blocked the number now.

This number keeps ringing me like twice or three times every week. I did pick up once a while back but haven’t bothered since. Feels like some sort of scam to me, so I just ignore it now.

Got a call from a woman with a clear call centre vibe, you could hear other people chatting in the background. She said we qualified for a massive discount on insulation for the house. I asked how she had that info, and she said it was from their records. Then I pressed her on where exactly those records came from, and she mentioned some government database. When I told her we’re on the TPS and that she was ringing up unwanted, and that I’d report her, she just cut the call. Definitely sounded like one of those dodgy calls trying their luck.

I got a call about being eligible for some sort of mobile medical alert gadget. When I asked how they got my number, considering I'm on the mobile do-not-call list, the person said it was based on some survey results. You could tell she was just reading off a script. When I pushed her for a straight answer about the source, she got a bit rattled and mentioned it came from a database. I then asked where they bought this database from, and suddenly she started apologising, looking flustered, and said it was all a mistake. As I kept questioning, she again said sorry and then just hung up on me.

Today, I got a call from someone pitching those lifeline services supposed to help older folks. I just hung up straight away. Stuff like that could be really risky for people who are elderly and vulnerable, honestly.

I got a call from what sounded like a call centre earlier, and some woman was on the line saying my washing machine warranty was nearly up. I told her it actually ran out ages ago, and besides, my washing machine’s knackered from all the use so I just do my laundry in the river now. Funny enough, she disconnected right after that. Guess not everyone gets a joke!

Some woman called herself Mary and said she wanted to do a free check for loft insulation. She didn't even have the right address for me but kept pushing to send someone over. I just told her it wasn't worth it and to forget it.

When I picked up, there was a pause before a lady with a foreign accent started talking about loft insulation. Didn’t ask for the call, seemed like a total scam to me. I told her straight off it was a waste of time and that I'd be reporting her. Then I just hung up.

This morning, I missed a call from 02045688448 and didn’t even pick up, letting it ring straight to voicemail. Nothing was left on the answerphone, which makes me think it’s one of those dodgy scam calls I’ve heard about on here before. Definitely wouldn’t trust it.

Got a call from a lady with a foreign accent, sounded Asian, said her name was Catherine from Homestyle Improvements. She asked if I’d had insulation put in ages ago and if it needed replacing now. I told her I hadn’t got any insulation in this house. Then she mentioned something about a free fibreglass check. I said no thanks, I don’t own the place, and ended the call.

This morning, we got two calls from them. The first time, they spoke to my husband and mentioned something about us possibly qualifying for an emergency alarm. They messed up our name a bit, so he just said, “If you can't even spell our name properly, we’re not interested,” and hung up. Later, I answered the phone when they rang again, but once more they didn’t get our name right. I’d already checked the number on here and realised it seemed dodgy, so I just cut the call short.

It’s not just one kind of scam, they’ll say whatever to try and grab your card info.
