No voicemail left no idea who called. Usually if it’s important I’d receive an email or voicemail.
"Suspected spam" so didn't pick up. No voicemail left so Id assume not a bona fide call
Jennifer called saying she's from housing disrepair assist. Had my number registered under my 7 year old's name. Could not tell me where the data came from.
Said his name was Arron and was calling regarding damages? Screened the call and did not answer
Scam caller. Pretending to be from a housing association calling about repairs to my council house - I don’t live in a council house!
Pretending to be a housing company
Knew my name. Asked about a tenant report of mould.
Said they were calling about “damages” to my house and that they were from the “social housing company”. (There are no damages to my house and I do not live in SH). Could not tell me the damages or what company they were from but worryingly did know my name
Absolute nonsense phishing scam call from some housing damage disrepair company, telling me they've had a Tennant report of mould. Im not a Tennant firstly! I started firing questions back, expecting he would hang up, which is usually the case when I call out these scammers or amuse myself with playing along. But he apologised for wrong information.
Called me about social housing saying they were calling about damage to my property, from a company called housing disrepair,when I challenged her she avoided my question about who my landlord was, she quoted an old address when I asked her what address I lived at, obviously scam call
Said social housing repairs which is not correct in my case. Possibly phishing for information
