5 monthsThey called saying they worked for “Funding Express” but it’s obviously a scam, don’t trust it.Funding Express5 monthsSCAM - It’s something related to government grants or funds. Definitely a scam.6 monthsI reckon this number was probably linked to some dodgy callers before, but it’s now assigned to TP-Link - you know, the folks who make routers and networking stuff. I’m pretty sure about this since it’s the direct line to my account manager at their offices :)TP - Link2 yearsI always avoid giving a simple ‘yes’ or ‘ok’ when these calls come through, even if it sounds like a genuine person. They could record it and use your own voice to agree to stuff you didn’t want. And defo never hand out any personal details. This call had me saying ‘no’ a while before they stopped - I asked if it was an automated thing. I’m a bit wary though, cause I reckon they might soon have a clever reply ready for that too.2 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be from town planning. When I told them I don’t actually own the house, they just went quiet and hung up on me. Quite rude really.2 yearsGot a call from some estate planners but because I’m on the TPS I just hung up straight away.TPS2 yearsWithout a doubt, it was some kinda AI thing... kept repeating exactly the same sentence over and over again... blasted annoying!2 yearsSomeone rang claiming to be from Estate Planning, but it was clearly a cold call. When I mentioned it’s actually illegal to do these sorts of unsolicited scams, they just kept talking over me. Seriously, steer well clear of these!2 yearsGot a call and the person just dropped it without saying a word. I blocked the number straight away.2 yearsJust like mentioned earlier; had a bloke prattling on about some new laws and how they might interfere with your belongings. The minute he hinted at a way to safeguard them, it struck me that he was trying to peddle something... I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE TO PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM A RANDOM STRANGER OVER THE PHONE. I hung up straight away.ANYTHINGRANDOM2 yearsI received a call but didn't answer in time. Once I looked up the number, it turned out to be a fraudulent one.2 yearsDefinitely a scam with this Will writing lot! I keep my number unlisted and have stopped it from appearing on any public directories.2 yearsIs this one of those dodgy scam calls?2 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from the "Estate Service" trying to ask me some questions about getting a grant to cover care home costs. Sounds like a total scam to me, so I just hung up straight away. What a load of rubbish!Estate Service2 yearsGot a call today and just let it ring out, something about the number felt dodgy so I didn’t bother picking up. Definitely one of those scam calls.2 yearsThey asked if I'd sorted out any property arrangements to cover care expenses.

He was going on about some story on BBC News saying the government might make folks sell their homes to cover care home costs which are like £4500+ every month. I cut him off pretty quick, seemed like a total cold call rip-off to me.SamPlanningBBC2 yearsGot a call from some bloke named Sam claiming he was ringing all people who own homes about estate planning. Didn’t bother saying a word and just ended the call straight away. Sounds like it could be one of those scams to me.SamEstate Planning2 yearsIgnore any calls coming from this number. It has nothing to do with any official government programme. Even though I’m signed up with the TPS, they’ve called me twice now, showing zero regard for the Telephone Preference Service. I’ve blocked the number and reported it.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsWATCH OUT, TOTAL SCAM! I STRAIGHT UP TOLD THEM TO GET LOST 🤬🤬🤬🤬 DONT EVER RESPOND!2 yearsI received a call from someone claiming to be with 'The Estate Planning Helpline'. When I enquired further about what they did, the caller mentioned that I might have come across it on the BBC news. However, when I pressed him for more details, he abruptly hung up on me. Quite odd, I must say!The Estate Planning HelplineBBC2 yearsSome bloke said he was Sam from the estates team. I asked, "Which estates are you talkin about?" He goes on, "We're ringing up all homeowners cause of new government rules." Total scam, watch out!Sam2 yearsGot a call from some automated voice about estate planning. I asked for the name of the company a couple times and told it my number’s on the TPS list, but it just kept going on and on. Managed to keep it going for a bit, but after a few minutes, I lost interest and ended the call. Such scammers.Telephone Preference Service2 yearsReceived a dodgy call from someone called Sam, claiming to be from the estate planning help centre. Thought it might be about sorting a Will, but he never really got into it. I swear I’ve heard that voice before - turns out it’s the same bloke who rang me a few weeks back about Windows and Doors. Seems like this Sam guy spends all his time running these kinds of scams, must be pulling in a decent bit from it.SamWindows and Doors2 yearsLooks like a total scam to me.2 yearsPicked up the phone but they just ended the call straight away.

Then he just said, ‘Alright then, have a good one’ and ended the call.SamEstates Department2 yearsToday, this number rang me but I didn’t pick up since I hardly ever use my landline and the number didn’t look familiar. It went straight to voicemail and there wasn’t any message left.2 yearsJust rang through to my voicemail and there was nothing there. Doesn't seem like it was anything urgent.2 yearsA young guy called me really fast, asking if I owned the house and whether I wanted to stop the Government from putting a social care tax on it. Honestly, it felt either like a pushy sales pitch or something dodgy.2 yearsGot two calls from someone named Sam claiming its about a gov scheme. I just ended the call right away.Sam2 yearsGot a call from some bloke trying to convince me to pass on my estate to family to dodge future care home fees or government charges. He was quite smooth and had a proper sales pitch, but I never trust cold calls so told him I wasn’t interested and ended the call. No solid evidence or anything, but I’m pretty sure it was some kind of scam.2 yearsGot a call earlier today about transferring property to family members to dodge care home costs, but i hung up and didn’t take it any further.2 yearsI saw the number pop up but didn't answer it, let it ring through to voicemail instead.
