This number called me like 4 times but coz it wasn't saved I just ignored it. If it really mattered they'd drop a voicemail right? That's what I reckon anyway.

I got a call from someone claiming to be from a housing association, asking if my place had any mould or cracks. As soon as I said yes, they just ended the call. Felt a bit weird, like a scam or something.

They went quiet when I asked if they were there, and then when I tried to start a game with them, they just cut the call.

Make sure to report every scam call you get. Here are some important points to watch out for. Scammers nowadays often record your voice and even use AI to mimic it – look up ‘voice cloning scams’ to see the latest news and police warnings on this really serious problem.

Stay careful!
