Unknown Caller
21 Nov 2025
Never answer unknown numbers that start with +44 as they’re usually a scam, it rang off after only a few rings which is always suspicious-they’re trying to figure out if it’s an active number- and they left no message, apparently the call was coming from Southampton
Scam/Fraud
21 Nov 2025
The woman said she was from home sense cover or something similar, wanted to talk about my plumbing and heating cover because apparently I’m the policy holder. I kept questioning her and she kept repeating my address and saying that I’m the policy holder. When I told her I had never taken a policy as I’m not the one in charge she quickly hung up.
