Number came up as Rotherham town centre. Didn’t recognise and didn’t answer. Posting as appreciate everyone else doing the same as seems to be a scam.
Number came up at Rotherham Town Centre. About damage/ faults at property. Make voice but sounded automated. Scam. Definitely.
Definitely Scam Fraud
I have the same comments as above. I live in South Wales. Sounded automated and definitely a scam. Just wanted to confirm name with number I believe.
Had this number call today. I answered the phone to complete silence I almost hung up straight away but I heard a connection click so asked who it was and he said Mike, he then said the call was in regards to my housing association complaint/repairs. - I said I've reported no complaints to a housing association and need no repairs because I've never lived in an housing association house and I quickly hung up and blocked them.... The voice sounded computerised. Definitely sounds like a Phishing Scam
Scam. Someone called Mike about the problems I reported to the housing association? When I said no they immediately hung up. It took a couple of seconds for them to actually respond to me.
Just received a call from this number. I didn’t answer and came here to check it out. Thanks for the comments, number now blocked.
Called asking about house repairs, I’d reported, they hung up when I asked questions
Didn't recognise the number so I didn't answer it. I always believe that if it's genuine, they'll leave a message.
