An Indian team (I spoke to 3 different people) stating they are from Sky (they were not) asking about my mobile contract and offered me a discount on a monthly amount I made up, and a free phone as over payment compensation, they asked me to confirm my name so I gave them a false one which they accepted, which confirmed these people are scammers. Be warned about the Tyneside number

I dont like people, got 0 social life and not nativ english. i am ok with my pets. i dont expect phone calls. it's scam 100%
A chap calling himself 'William' with a very strong Indian accent, claimed he was calling from Sky about my contract, I'm not with Sky and never have been! Blocked.
Insurance scam
Just ring's picked up phone they put it down.rang back pick up but won't talk.
Said from life insurance !!
At least 10 calls to an elderly vulnerable family member over the last 3 days. Rang the number and a pleasant Northern accent lady answered. She said she has had a lot of phone calls to her recently saying the same thing. When questioned stated she did work for a company but denied any knowledge of why the calls are being made from her number! Recommendation to all vulnerable to install ‘Truecall’, prevents all scam calls and allows you to view all incoming numbers, brilliant bit of kit.
I have had about 20 calls from these people claiming to be Domestic & General. It has got to 3 calls daily now. I love the accents from people claiming to be Peter or Sarah. Yeah, right.
They have bombarded my 95 year old mum with calls and I managed to get her to find out the number so I could google it, good job we checked! Horrible people preying on the venerable
Have called me from that number 5 times in 3 days. Say they are Domestic and General regarding my washing machine warranty, they are definitely not as they would know that my washing machine was just replaced by D&G and therefore is not out of warranty.
Doesn't speak - just hangs up.
Claimed to be Aviva about my life insurance. I don't have any, but they hung up when I asked for their email address
keeps calling and hanging up
yes i have had the same happen to me
Asked to buy my used panties, everyone I know knows I don't wear any so it must be a scam
