"Ovo smart meter team"
"Got a cold call from a man with a Russian accent who knew my first name and asked about reporting losses from online fraud. I told him I hadn't lost anything, and he said thanks and hung up. Because I didn’t actually say I wasn’t that person, I guess he knows it's my number. Expecting to get scams and frauds."

"Said he was calling from 3 network. "Patrick" wanted to give me a 30% discount, but needed my email to send the details. When I told him you have it, he said he could send a text but needed me to confirm my postcode. When i asked why he needed the postcode to send a text since he called me and it could be a scam he huffed and hung up."

"Said they were from Allianz and asking about life insurance. Started call by saying "you already have a life insurance policy, correct?" I am not an Allianz customer, so seemed really like a phishing call."
"Said from Amazon and someone was trying to order iPhone on my account. Could barely hear him due to too much noise in background"
"Said they were sky customer services and the mobile they called from could be upgraded. I checked my account and it's not due til 2027. Got another call about the same thing, told them it was a scam and hung up. Next time i wont be so polite."
"Said they were from British Gas and there was a problem with the bill. Told the caller I'd call British Gas and they said no because it would take half an hour to get through."

"I get lots of calls from 0744192 numbers"
"Once I answered, a male voice said "hello" two times, then went quiet. Possible scam, do not trust."

"This was a Leicester dial code but the exact same person had called me a few minutes earlier on 01208530458, a Bodmin code! Said I had a big refund due and that I would get a text from R2Redress, which I did get with a link. I clicked on the link, it showed my name, address, date of birth, email and phone number and asked me to sign the last page. I stalled by saying I was filling in previous addresses (my car finance was years ago and not via my current address), but she got really shirty telling me I didn't need to fill that in, just to sign. So I then checked who R2Redress was via my iPad and disconnected the call before I got pushed into signing! SCAMMERS! I won't be answering any more calls from numbers I don't know, I have blocked and reported the numbers and will carry on doing so!"
