"Hi there, it's Sarah. I hope you're well! I'm reaching out regarding your housing situation." This was obviously a dodgy call, so I ended the conversation promptly. They rang my mobile at 09:43 on the 26th September 2023.

Received a dodgy phone call earlier. Definitely felt like a scam.

As soon as I picked up the phone, they hung up on me. Quite frustrating, really!

Yet another day brings yet another dodgy phone call. I launch into a right tirade of colourful language, and they promptly cut the line.

I received a call from a lady named Sarah pertaining to housing issues, but as soon as I mentioned I didn't have any, she promptly ended the conversation. It felt quite robotic, almost like something out of a sci-fi film. Just when you think the scams couldn't get more absurd!

Seems a bit dodgy and probably utilises some sort of AI-generated voice.

I'm absolutely tired of these relentless telemarketers. When I say no, I really mean it!

It's clearly a con trick involving automated calls or chatbots about housing repairs. No doubt about it, it's a scam.

Definitely a con! They rang me up claiming I needed some sort of repairs on my house. When I politely declined their offer, they just cut the call without a second thought.

Called and then hung up, which really upset my elderly mother! 🤬

Had a rather odd phone call from a bot named Sarah, purporting to discuss issues I’m having with my housing situation...

Female voice on the line… “Good day! I’m ringing to assist you with your housing disrepair issues.”
Caught off guard by the unexpected call, I answered… “I beg your pardon, could you clarify what you mean by that?”
Caller continued… “Are you experiencing dampness or cracks in your walls? If you’ve got any housing difficulties, we’re here to help.”
To which I replied, “I’m the owner of this crumbling abode, so the solutions fall squarely on my shoulders.”
And just like that, the line went silent…
I can't shake the feeling this is yet another dodgy scheme, so do stay on guard!

Received a call from this number, but they hung up as soon as I picked up. I initially thought it would be alright since it was an 0800 number, but clearly, that's not the case. I recommend avoiding this call at all costs.

The caller seemed to have some trouble articulating their words and mentioned they were reaching out due to "issues with their accommodation."

The call was ignored, so based on what I've read from others, it seems to be a probable scam.

I received a call that had this eerie robotic tone to it, which was quite disconcerting. Honestly, I'm baffled about what they hoped to achieve with that approach.

I ended up not answering the call until I had a chance to look into it, and judging by the numerous reports of spam that others have shared today, it seems I made a rather prudent choice!

I received a call from someone purporting to represent a housing repair team. However, since I don't reside in any social housing, I'm quite convinced this might be a scam. It certainly raised my suspicions!

Dodgy housing repair scam alert!

Just received a call a couple of minutes back, but didn’t say anything, and then the person on the other end disconnected. They've now been blocked.

It seems that even the 0800 numbers are being hijacked by con artists claiming to represent housing associations. Quite troubling, isn't it?

Referring to the two calls mentioned earlier, the speech seemed to be a bit delayed, I must say.
