Reports overwhelmingly point to fraudulent activity masquerading as legitimate insurance firms. Callers impersonate providers like Aviva, Halifax, Standard Life, and Legal & General, pushing fake policy reviews or updates to extract personal details. While isolated accounts suggest genuine broker outreach, the dominant pattern screams scam. Hang up immediately on unsolicited calls—legit companies rarely cold-dial from mobiles. Verify any queries directly via official websites or known numbers, and report to Action Fraud. Blocking helps, but consider registering with the Telephone Preference Service to curb nuisances. Stay vigilant; your data's worth protecting.
As someone at Standard, I'm shocked by this scam – avoid answering calls from these scammers, cheers, please.
A broker arranged a new policy for me and reduced my monthly payment.
A broker representing life insurers contacted me; I already held a policy and changed my details after paying off the mortgage – not really a scam as claimed.
Looks like an insurance scam – best not to answer.
I blocked the number; no voicemail was left.
Received a call claiming to be from Aviva – scam.
Someone pretended to be Halifax life insurance; I don’t hold any policy with them, so block the number, mate, please.
After I ignored a London number I'd answered before, this line rang back and a bloke claimed to be from Aviva, but I have no active policy, cheers, anyway.
They called over the past two days and hung up each time, cheers, anyway.
I blocked the number after it tried to discuss life insurance.
Apparently it was Legal & General; they called my previous mobile which I blocked, now they’re using this one.
I marked the life‑insurance scammers as blocked.
Seems to be a scam; they claimed to be from Aviva, mate, you know.
The person claimed to be reviewing my life insurance policy, saying they represented Standard Life Insurance, yet I have no policy with that firm.
This appeared to be a life‑insurance scam.
The individual claimed they wanted to review my Royal London life‑insurance policy; I have no such policy and Royal London wouldn't use a mobile, so I suspect a scam.
I muted the unknown number – no voicemail was left.
