Electrician- offering work in my area (not that they knew where I was) all done over the phone, when asked for company details they mumble a bit every time or say it so fast you have no idea
We are electricians too, didn't answer it as today seems to be scam phone call day!
Looking at previous comments I’m an electrician as well although never answered the phone. Re dialled it’s an international dial tone. Probably some scum bag.
Called today (22.07.22) so still at it? Left no message and there was an internatinal ringing tone when i tried to call back.
They keep calling me like 3/4 times a day. They don’t leave a message I try and call back and it goes right to a international dialling tone. Definitely is a scam and number is now blocked
Called me twice in a row. Did not leave a message. Called back, international dial tone. Assuming its a scammer
I would say they’re definitely scammers they phone me three times today
They rang but didn’t answer I rang back it went to a international ring tone . Now they are blocked
Called me to offer electrical work in my area. When I asked what area that is they hung up. I dont know if this is a scam but its definitely somebody trying to take a cut of a tradesmans earnings and is an unsolicited call.
Claiming to offer trades subcontracted work with a stupidly complicated payment setup. When asked to send over details they refused and said they prefer to do it over the phone. Most definitely a scam.
