Picture this: a dodgy caller rings up claiming urgent repairs for your 'social housing', spouting details like your name or address to hook you in. These persistent nuisances from this number often push fake services, aiming to extract cash or personal info under false pretences. Victims report hanging up sharpish, but the calls keep coming, sometimes silent or rude. Block the number straight away and report it to 7726 via text for 'phone' alerts. Don't engage—scammers thrive on chit-chat. If they knew your details, check data breaches and beef up privacy settings. Stay vigilant; these lot are crafty, but awareness nips 'em in the bud.
Remember to report these numbers by texting them to 7726, prefixed with ‘text’ or ‘phone’ as appropriate. Cheers.
Fraud
Pure scam.
A fraudulent offer for council or social‑housing repairs reached me, even though I’m not in social housing.
Got a call from "A.J." claiming to be from housing repairs, but I’m not in social housing. Hung up on the spot, right?
Appears to be a scam call.
Received a call today at 16:21; no one answered when I spoke. After reading the comments here, it’s clear this was a scam call.
Three separate calls came in today from different numbers; I've blocked them all. I don’t live in social housing and have no idea how they knew my full name.
disgraceful/cheating
Similar to other posts, I’ve complained about social‑housing scams, yet I don’t live in London and have never rented a property.
Received a call from a bloke claiming to be from "social housing repairs", insisting I had a leaky tap. I live in my own flat, not social housing, so I knew it was bogus and blocked the number.
Answered the phone but got no response.
A silent call with no audio.
Got a spam call where the caller claimed to represent social housing. I asked to be removed from their list, but he missed the request and hung up rudely. I've blocked the number, though they seem to bypass blocks.
Someone named Raj claimed to be from the Social Housing Repair Team, had my address, and said a repair was needed – but I never contacted them and it wasn't social housing, so steer clear of this fraud.
