They claimed to be a financial company and even knew my first name, so I hung up, mate.

Curiously, these calls masquerade as legitimate enquiries into housing or finances, yet swiftly unravel into dodgy data grabs. Reports reveal callers probing for personal details under false pretences, like posing as repair services or debt chasers before admitting to buying numbers from shady sources. Phishing attempts like this exploit trust, potentially leading to identity theft or unwanted spam. Hang up immediately if details feel off—never share info. Register with the Telephone Preference Service to curb such nuisances, and consider apps that block suspicious numbers. If pressed, report to Action Fraud for investigation.

I let the call go to voicemail; it disconnected after four rings.
My phone flagged it as a debt collector; I never answered and just blocked the number, mate.
Someone asked about social‑housing repairs, then when I asked for the company's name – because I work for a local housing association – they offered to remove my number, claiming they weren’t linked to any HA and apparently paid for my mobile off someone else, mate.
