Had a rather dodgy phone call from some chaps in an Indian call centre, struggling with their English, mind you. They were going on about being from a housing department and wanting to discuss repairs. As a private renter, I don’t have any housing issues to speak of. It was blatantly a scam attempt!

They disconnected as soon as I picked up the phone.

I received a rather dubious call from someone purporting to be from an environmental agency. They were speaking about issues regarding mould in my home, even though I never reported anything to the council. To add to the strangeness, they had my address and mentioned that an inspection had already been arranged. Just a word of caution to everyone-stay vigilant!

When I picked up, it was dead air for a moment before I could hear the distant noise of a bustling call centre in the background. Before I could utter a word, the caller hung up abruptly without saying anything. Quite disappointing, really, as I was keen to have a bit of fun with them!

I’ve been getting some rather dodgy phone calls from this number - they’ve tried three times, and I've now put a block on them. The people on the line claimed to be from a maintenance crew, which struck me as quite odd. The second time they rang, I chose not to pick up, and when they called a third time, there was complete silence on the other end. Very suspicious indeed!

I answered the call only to be met with silence, and then they abruptly hung up on me... how rude!

They keep ringing me and then just dropping the call imediately.

A woman spoke with a thick Indian accent, claiming she was from the City Council about some maintenance concerns. She asked if I had any problems. Since I own my home and handle all the upkeep myself, I just stayed quiet. After a few mins of no reply, she just ended the call.

It was clearly an automated call since when I picked up, there was just silence on the other end. I've blocked the number now because whoever it was, I never do business over the phone. My blocked contacts list is way bigger than the people I actually know!

I think I might’ve stopped this number, or one like it, from ringing me before. I’ve got no mates or anyone I know around there, so I didn’t pick up. They didn’t bother to leave any voicemail either, so it wasn’t worth the hassle. After reading through other comments, pretty clear this is some kind of scam.

Some woman with an Asian accent rang me up asking if I needed any help with home repairs. I told her I had loads of issues around the house. I don't think she was ready for that because she just cut the call straight away. I'm on the TPS list too, so this call shouldn’t have happened at all. Sounds like these are dodgy scammers trying to fish for personal details, so I'd say watch out and consider them pretty risky.

Really annoying company keeps ringing my phone after somehow stealing my number through hacking my email. If it’s a real person they’d just leave a voicemail, not some robotic call. I never pick up calls from numbers I don’t know anymore.

Got a call from someone saying they were with St Michaels housing association, but it seemed totally dodgy to me. Definitely a scam call.

They said they were from some council office or something, but the moment I asked them to say exactly which part of the council they were from, they just ended the call straight away.

I’ve had about three calls now, all from numbers that are pretty much the same, reading the exact same lines. It’s some Indian call centre with really bad English, saying they’re ringing from the ‘Government housing office’ to talk about house repairs. I just drop the call as soon as I say I’m onto their spam game.

020 8079 3148 called me twice right on the dot at 12:06, twice! Was about to pick up but thought I’d check online first - lucky I did. Not spending my time dealing with dodgy calls. So annoying how persistent they are!

My mobile flagged this number as a potential scam, so I opted not to pick up. Looks like it's one of those premium rate lines, and I'd end up paying for the privilege of calling them back!

Got a call this morning from 020 8079 3148, looked a bit like spam so I just declined it since I didn’t know the number. Then I remembered my phone had blocked something with the full number +44 2080 793148 yesterday as spam anyway. Seeing what others have said, seems like it’s probably a scam so I’ve blocked it now. Better safe than sorry!

Blocked that scammer, thankfully.

Answerd the phone and after a few seconds some strange noise and then it just cut off. Looks like one of those scams trying to get you to phone back and charge you loads. Not falling for it, BLOCKED!

I received a couple of calls from numbers 0208 079 3143 and 0208 079 3148. I chose not to pick up either time.

I received a call from an Indian call centre with a rather questionable grasp of English, purporting to be from the 'Government Housing Department.’ They wanted to discuss matters related to home repairs, but the conversation was quite confusing.

A chap reached out wanting to have a natter regarding some home repairs. Just to clarify, I’m not residing in India. Please refrain from replying.
