An individual with an Indian accent claimed to be from British Gas, asked about my boiler, then requested bank details, beginning with "Am I speaking to the man of the house?" When I questioned the legitimacy, she denied it, but hung up when I asked for my name and address. I have no boiler cover or dealings with British Gas, and this was the third call in recent days with varying caller IDs. Waste of time – consider delaying by asking for a checkbook and using a fake name generator.

What drives scammers to persist with these unsolicited calls? From the reports, it seems callers impersonate trusted firms like British Gas to extract personal details, often hanging up when questioned. This pattern screams phishing scam, with accents and mismatched caller IDs adding to the red flags. They've targeted individuals multiple times, knowing basic info to build false rapport. Practical advice: never share bank details over cold calls; verify directly with the company using official numbers. Block the lot, report to Action Fraud, and consider apps that flag suspicious numbers. Wasting their time can help, but staying vigilant is key to dodging these nuisances.

After several rings they finally answered, even knew my name, but hung up when I pressed for details – blocked them, mate.
