Definite phishing style call using a prerecorded message designed to capture your voice for possible banking fraud through AI systems.

reported 020 8076 4142 as Harassing

Housing repair scammers attempting to convince tenants that repair work had been approved. They then start asking for personal details. Very convincing at first and quite worrying for vulnerable people.

reported 020 8076 4142 as Harassing
Scam caller acting aggressively and repeatedly telling me what to do with my computer. Very pushy behaviour.

Man rang regarding my housing repairs that I had reported, I didn't say anything and he said is anyone there? I said yes and he asked what repairs I needed, asked him to tell me as he told me I had reported them - he hung up!

Did not answer. Unknown to me, London number of 020 8076 4142 which my phone flagged as "spam call". They didn't leave a message.

reported 020 8076 4142 as Dangerous
Automated female voice asking if anyone was there and then trying to continue the conversation. I stayed silent throughout and the line disconnected. Felt like an AI scam recording.

Clear scam activity pretending to relate to housing disrepair issues. It is widely reported as fraudulent and should not be trusted or engaged with.

SCAM ALERT THIS NUMBER IS NOT LEGITIMATE AND SHOULD NOT BE ENGAGED WITH IT TRIES TO USE HOUSING REPAIR STORIES TO GAIN TRUST

reported 020 8076 4142 as Dangerous
This caller pretends to be linked with housing repair requests that were originally raised through a housing manager. It feels like a scam attempt designed to trick residents into sharing personal details or confirming information. The behaviour is persistent and misleading, and it creates confusion by referencing legitimate repair issues that were never handled by them.

reported 020 8076 4142 as Dangerous
Asked whether I had reported damp or housing problems. Hung up immediately when I said no. Sounds like a scam operation.

reported 020 8076 4142 as Harassing
Answered but heard nothing before the line disconnected. Ignore and block.

reported 020 8076 4142 as Harassing
Male caller claiming to be from a housing repair team. I told him I had no issues and ended the call. Definitely nuisance cold callers.

reported 020 8076 4142 as Dangerous
AI sounding voice claiming to be from a housing company about damp repairs I supposedly reported. Obvious scam attempt.
