I got a call about some housing repairs. I told them to ring back another time, then suddenly an automated voice came on saying “no problem”. It sounded quite real at first, so I’d be careful answering these calls.

They kept ringing, claiming to be from the Welsh Government, really persistent. But why would they bother phoning a company based in England, especially from a 0203 area code? Definitely feels like spam to me.

*SCAM* – Got a call from some company saying they were working on my car finance claim and wanted to talk about my options. Thing is, I don’t even have a car! Just ended the call straight away.

Totally a scam, said they were calling from Eon but no way.

Been getting loads of spam calls lately so just started ignoring them but this one seems like another dodgy one.

My phone rang and when I tried to pick up, the caller had already disconnected.

Got back and saw I missed a call from this number... Usually, if you pick up and sound sure of yourself, they hang up pretty quick. This one didn’t seem too clever, but still annoying as heck.

After I picked up, there was this awkward silence before someone with a robot-like voice said they were Jaqui and assured me it was nothing to be scared of. Seemed really dodgy, so I just ended the call straight away. I’m actually on the TPS list, so I don't bother with any random calls anymore.

Got a call earlier and the person left a voicemail saying they were “Erin from explain, calling for National Grid”. We had a power outage last week and National Grid did contact us about it, so maybe it’s genuine.

I picked up and then the call just dropped immediately.

Got a call from someone saying they were with Go Compare, pushing cheap energy deals. Total nuisance.

Keep getting calls that just ring out with no voicemail left. Proper annoying. I've blocked the number but they always seem to ring from another one.

Got a call asking for the person who lived at a place that wasn’t my address. I told him, “No idea, maybe you do?” He suddenly started swearing loads, which just made me chuckle and tell him he should find a real job. Surprisingly, he called again only to shout and swear at me!

Got a call around 10:50 this morning but didn't pick up. They didn’t leave any voicemail either.

Absolutely a dodgy setup. They hinted they were with the Financial Conduct Authority about some sort of claim for redress.

My phone showed a missed call which it marked as spam, but it didn’t actually ring at all. After reading some of the other reviews, I’ve decided to just block the number entirely.

Whenever I get a call that feels dodgy, I like to say, "This is Count Dracula's lair, what can I do for you?" Obviously, no one responds, then they just hang up.

Got a message saying my £336.45 Barclays payment is stuck and I need to reply 'Y' to unlock it or call 020 8072 4049 if it wasn’t me. Yeah, right! Definitely a total scam, no doubt about it!

Over the past few days, I've had multiple calls from various 0191917..... numbers. I didn’t pick up on any of them and they never left a voicemail.

Phone rang out, I didn't get a chance to say anything and no message was left.

I got two calls from this number. When I tried ringing back, all I got was silence. Wish I'd looked up this number before answering 😕 blocked now.

They're a right nuisance, ringing but never bothering to leave any message.

I just let the phone ring through to my voicemail, but then they ended the call before leaving a message.

Even though I’ve blocked them for being a scam, they keep calling. Now they’re using a number with a different last digit which I’ve blocked too. It’s like they just won’t take the hint.

Ugh, just got another call from that annoying automated Alex, going on about how I need to boost my EPC rating or something.
