They called me saying something abouy a life insurance. I'm only 15! Then they proceeded to call me from 3 different numbers!
Agent said the company was policy protect, then some other name for a life insurance review. I rang back twice to waste their time and more and more ask how they got my information and how to get it off their database They're just trained monkeys going down an outdated list and only had a name phone number and an old address. They note you down as interested, not interested or not answered. Apparently after an undefined length of time your details are removed if not interested but I'm not sure this complies with GDPR and told them this and they just hung up on me for the third time Might try calling again see howuch time I can waste of theirs.
Trying to sell life insurance.
Phising for personal information phoned me several times even after saying I don't need life insurance I'm 27 years old.
Telling me I needed to update my life insurance policy or it’ll be inactive, told him I don’t have life insurance to which he told me it was my mortgage. Told him I’m not interested delete my number and he became rude until I shouted delete my number and he hung up 😂
Uses a legitimate company name for an equity release but is clearly a scam, as all details are wrong.
Caller did not leave a message when I did not answer
Equity release scam
Rang 3 times: 1st - this morning 11 something. Didn't get to my landlines on time 2nd - they didn't speak but you hear slow breathing in the phone. Very weird, do u think this is suspicious??? Should it get reported online???
Energy spam, asked if speaking to house owner, rang off when queried.
John from the medical alert centre also called me.
"John" from the "Medical Alert Centre", kindly informing me that I may be eligible for a free device!
Call at 09.15hrs in the morning, silent when answered.
Three times is 24 hours 'John' called about my driveway -' do you still have a driveway?' I wonder how would you lose a driveway - ' We're making a booklet with a special reduction' - 'do you mind me asking how old is your driveway/' - it's one year old 'have you thought of upgrading?' identical script, pain, as I have friends in Sheffield.
