These calls from +443301840139 exhibit classic hallmarks of fraudulent schemes, blending utility incentives, energy provider impersonations, and unsolicited services to extract personal data. Persistent tactics, like talking over objections or pressing for bank details, signal high-pressure manipulation designed to unsettle recipients. Block the number immediately and report it to authorities such as Action Fraud to curb wider harm. Never share sensitive info over unsolicited calls; verify claims directly with official sources. Hang up decisively if pressured, and consider registering with the Telephone Preference Service for fewer nuisance interruptions. This pattern preys on trust in familiar brands, so staying vigilant protects against identity theft or financial loss.
They claim I’m eligible for a winter utility bonus and request my bank details to deposit the payment.
Apparently someone pretended to be from Scottish Power, yet I don't hold any account with them. They knew my name and postcode but couldn't provide details of my actual supplier. I hung up and would warn others – it feels like a scam or data‑harvesting ploy, you know.
He claimed to be from an 'Advisory Service' calling about wills, but I told him I'd already got one. He kept talking over me, relentless as ever. Eventually I had to raise my voice to cut him off and hang up – that could really rattle anyone, you know.
Missed the call, looked it up here and have now blocked the number as spam, mate.
