Claimed to be from "Sky Assured Maintenance", telling my TV maintenance package had expired but not to worry, as I could still renew and get a discount for two years' payment up-front. All the funnier as I don't even have a TV! Spun it out for 13 minutes by pretending to lose my glasses, then my bank card, and by not knowing what PayPal is. Eventually told "Stephen" he was a scammer, whereupon he claimed he had known all along I was bluffing. I don't think so!

I took the call and said “hello”. Someone replied “hello”. I said nothing else and just listened. I could hear many people in the background talking and saying things like “I have a great deal for you”, or “this is a special offer”. Sounded like a call centre. The call ended.

Called landline. I ignored the call. No message.

Answered in error. Said they were from a so called energy company so I assume it’s a scam call. Told them they shouldn’t be calling us as TPS registered (which appears to be pointless) and suggested they “jog in”. Think they replied with something equally profound then hung up

Heat seal solutions no idea why calling but they call numerous times a day and every time I block number they call back on a different number. Iphone call screening just says all agents busy. Scam obviously
