Got a call from a woman with an Asian accent who said she was ringing from Marks & Spencer’s and somehow knew my address. She started asking questions about my washing machine. Told her to buzz off. Happened on Monday the 8th at 11:06am.

The number 02085526270 kept ringing my ex-directory home phone a lot lately. I noticed calls on Saturday 6th October around 3.40pm, then again Monday morning 7th October at about 9.14, and once more today at 11.22. They've been pestering us for a few days before this too. Thankfully, with caller ID, we can spot the number straight away and just block it so no annoyance!

Inquired about Marks and Spencer. Clearly, I wouldn’t recommend shopping here; it’s obviously a dodgy operation.

Got a call from someone with an Asian accent asking for my info. I didn’t pick up properly and when I asked who they were with, they said Marks & Spencer. I don’t even shop there, so pretty sure it was a scam.

About half an hour ago, I got a call from someone with an Indian accent who wanted me to verify my name and address. When I asked for his identity, he claimed to be calling from M&S, and then the call abruptly ended! I didn’t share any information with him.

I've received two calls from this number today. Once they heard my recorded greeting regarding withheld numbers and unknown callers, they hung up without leaving a message. On this occasion, my phone indicated it was an international call. It's unmistakably a scam! If you choose to pick up, refrain from sharing your name or number. Stay vigilant!

Received a call on my home phone from 0208-55206270 around 12:40. The person claimed to be from Marks & Spencer and asked me to verify my address and postcode. There was a lot of noise like multiple phones ringing in the background, which made me think it was a scam. I ended the call and didn’t bother returning it - pretty sure it was all bogus.

I usually just let it ring about 5 or 6 times and then hang up, no talking at all. Seems to do the trick since I avoid getting stuck chatting with those annoying calls.

I tend to filter my calls and have set up a voicemail message specifically for withheld numbers and any unfamiliar ones. When the caller had listened to my greeting, they promptly hung up without leaving a message, just as I'd anticipated. Clearly, this was a dodgy scammer.

I received a rather peculiar phone call from 02085526270 today. The individual on the other end had the audacity to ask for me by name! I politely informed him that the person he sought was unavailable, and just like that, he abruptly ended the call. It's crucial to avoid divulging any personal information. I suspect these types of callers often try to coax you into confirming your name and address. I can't quite fathom why they record your voice, but let me stress this-never share your name or any personal details. It’s a concerning scam that could pose a real risk. We must ensure our elderly community is alerted to this!

I'm going to report this number to the ICO because they're the ones who can actually track down and deal with these scammers, whether they use genuine or fake numbers for their dodgy schemes. It's only if enough of us take action like this that the ICO will step in. Leaving a rant here might make me feel better, but it doesn't really solve anything. If you want to report them too, their contact is 03031 231113.

I've decided to report this number to the ICO because they're the ones who can actually track down, shut these scammers up, and even take legal action against them. These con artists are using a mix of real and fake numbers for their scams, and until a bunch of us report them, nothing will change. Venting about it here might feel good, but it won't get anything done. If you want to help, ring the ICO on 03031 231113.

Had a chap with an Asian accent claiming to be called Mike give me a ring. He asked me to verify my name and address, which struck me as a bit odd. When I probed, he mentioned he was with Hotpoint. Since I’d just bought something from them, I naively went ahead and confirmed my details. Then, just like that, he disconnected the call. The number seems to be unreachable now. Quite dodgy if you ask me!

It's the same old trick, they begin by asking simple things like your name and where you live to build up the info slowly.

Got a call from some unknown number, asked my missus to check the name for me. The caller had a really heavy Indian accent, couldn't understand a word. She ended up just hanging up on them. I looked this number up here afterwards. Whoever they are, they're definitely breaching GDPR rules. If I knew the proper way to report them to the police, I would have done it by now. Make sure you don't share any info with these lot.

I had the exact same experience with 02085526270. What baffles me is how folks from India can somehow use a London number to bend the rules like this. Doesn't OFCOM have anything to say or do about these dodgy calls? Just recently, I got one at work that showed a Liverpool number. Honestly, it's reaching the stage where you can't even trust numbers from our own country anymore.

Got a call from some Asian guy who kept insisting on knowing my name. After that, he claimed he was from M&S, and mentioned I'd be hearing from Homeshield Direct about my washing machine.

I got a call from a woman who wanted me to verify my name, which I usually never do. Instead, I asked what the call concerned. She claimed it was about my washing machine but kept pressing me to confirm my name, saying she needed to update my info. After I kept questioning what issues there were with the machine, she just suddenly ended the call. Pretty sure it was some kind of scam.

Got a call from an unfamiliar number at about 10.27, but it was one of those silent hang-ups. When I looked it up here, it said it was from Marks & Spencer. Thing is, I’m not expecting anything from M&S, never have been, so I reckon it’s just one of those dodgy calls trying to fish for my info. No way I’m ringing back a mystery number, especially if it’s anonymous or could be scammers.

Sounds like a right laugh for Marks & Spencer! So I tell my solicitor, “I want to split up with my missus.” He asks, “Why’s that then?” I say, “She’s out late every night, hopping between pubs.” He wonders if she’s got a drinking problem or is being unfaithful. I just reply, “Nah, she’s actually trying to find me!”

I just picked up on a whim as I was nearby, haven’t really used the landline lately. Once more, they wanted to speak to the old owner of this place - used to get these calls all the time back in the day. I bluntly said she’s up in a coffin, then they cut off. Honestly, no clue if she’s alive or not, or what sort of scam they were running this time.

I got a call from a guy whose English wasn’t great. He wanted to check if my name and address were right. When I asked who he was, he said he was calling from M&S, then told me they’d ring back later. Before I could reply, he just hung up.

I answered the call but stayed quiet for a few seconds. The automated system must have sensed the silence because it ended the call without any chat happening. From what I’ve read in earlier reviews, I reckon their goal is to get you to say your name and home address aloud, so they can capture your voice and use it to pretend they're you. Honestly, I’d warn everyone against giving out personal details verbally to random callers. Oh, and by the way, they rang me back while I was still writing this!

About an hour back I got a call from someone with an Asian accent claiming to be from M & S, trying to verify our info. We do have business with M & S but the caller mentioned something about a washing machine and then just ended the call. It's worrying to think what they might use info from the electoral roll for. Loads of people I know have been getting similar calls today, I thought these kinds of calls were banned now, especially as the number looked like it was UK-based.
