Housing repair scam! Would not identify themselves
Claimed to say was a housing officer about the issues I had reported
Asked about my housing repairs have I got mold or mildew. When I asked whose calling they hung up.
Cold call
Silent call
Claimed to be from a housing repair about a recent issue i had but couldn't elaborate on the issue and eventually they hung up as they had been rumbled
The caller said they are connected to some council authority for tenant housing repairs that I had reported. Said I hadn’t called them and that they had the wrong number and to not call me again.
Claimed to be housing issues. Scam
Claimed to be from a housing repair team calling about the issues I reported. I never did such a thing! Obvious scammer.
Apparently from a company about reported home repair issues. I havn’t reported anything
Caller had a very heavy accent, claimed to be from "housing fleughbleugh team". Ask several times to clarify the second word and on what authority they were calling, and they hung up.
No idea who the caller was. I was able to call back in the number and someone spoke. I was not interested as this was a cold call.
Caller had very heavy accent. I couldn't understand and ask her to repeat a couple of times. She hung up. I'm none the wiser.
