Knew my name and pretended I had life insurance. I asked for the policy number; they attempted to side step. I informed them that I was giving their number to the police. I hung up and blocked.
My network automatically alerts me to calls that are potentially dangerous or fraudulent or potential scammers. I would like to hit these scum (worse than scum) with a big stick if it was allowed
Received a call today and claimed to be working with DVLA. When I started asking questions, they hung up on me.
Knew my name and car registration - suggested they could get me compensation for buying a diesel car, but the registration quoted is for a petrol car!!! Hung up and blocked. Why/how do these people still operate?
Typical diesel emissions scam. Blocked caller
Something about emissions & working 'alongside DVLA' Had details of my name and car (sold 7 years ago). Terminated call & blocked number.
Scam
They had details about a car I had sold in July 2015 and knew it was petrol, they asked if I had ever had a diesel. Unsure how they got details. I had bought the car from Mercedees Benz in Preston I sold it to Mazda in Bolton. Has anyone else used either of these dealerships ?
Emissions bull. Very self-important telemarketer. Didn't seem to understand that they are the one being rude and intruding on privacy.
London Called today, left no message on the answer phone. Not calling back
Called saying working with DVLA. Knew my name. Did not recognise the number and hung up.
They called two days previously and stated that they were working with DVLA. They had all my personal details including my car registration, home address and name. I terminated the call and blocked the number. However, they continued to bombard me phone call using other numbers.
Claimed to be working from DVLA database about diesel emissions. Knew name of vehicle owner and vehicle registration, but had incorrect mobile number (family member). Hung up when I started trying to find out what they wanted and where they got the number. Very suspicious given that only a few people have been given this number for that person.
Very rude, fishing for details.
Said my car had a device installed and I had to pay £15000 They should be locked up..
