I haven't made any arrangements for a delivery.

I had a recent encounter with someone claiming to be from the DWP, but it just doesn't add up. Whenever the DWP sends me a text, their name actually pops up clearly as DWP and not as some random number. Plus, I've noticed they never form a group chat with other recipients like this person did. It feels rather dodgy if you ask me!

Hello there!

I’ve just discovered that Richard Hallet, residing at 8 Park Road in Mansfield Woodhouse, is on the verge of facing significant repercussions for making all my personal information available to the public. This situation is incredibly worrisome!

They keep pestering me nonstop!

I was asked to join them on WhatsApp about a job opportunity and got the message on a Sunday… rather curious timing, isn’t it?

Alert regarding a fall involving an elderly family member.

It seems like a certain individual is rather bored and has far too much free time at their disposal.

I don’t recognise this number, and there wasn’t a voicemail either.

The phone buzzed, but there was no voicemail left behind.

I had no clue whose number it was and I couldn't pick up in time. They didn't bother to leave a message either.

I'm receiving a plethora of texts from various numbers – it seems a bit dodgy to me. Likely some sort of contact scam targeting unsuspecting folks looking for companionship, or perhaps a ploy to recruit. There are quite a few recruitment cons making the rounds at the moment. If you've got any screenshots of these scammy messages, it would be wise to send them over to '[email protected]'.

I received a WhatsApp message from a number I didn't recognise - +44 7401 370327. The message simply asked, "Are you busy?" I'm rather puzzled because I only communicate with family on WhatsApp, and this is definitely not one of them.

If we’re to put an end to these pesky scam calls, it’s crucial that we get them logged with the police. Information on how to do this has been shared in this thread. These con artists are relentless in their attempts to exploit us Brits, banking on the fact that many won't have the inclination to report them. It's this very complacency that lets them continue their dishonest ways without consequence.

This number seems to belong to an escort, as I’ve found it associated with adult services.

If you receive a surprise communication claiming to be from your bank, do make the effort to verify by calling the number displayed on your bank card. It’s crucial to remain vigilant!

Additionally, if you spot any suspicious calls, text REPORT to 7726. You can also send any evidence, such as screenshots of dodgy messages, over to this email address: '[email protected]'.

Received an automated message from someone claiming to be from 'Immigration', requesting me to 'press a number'. Quite curious, if you ask me!

The phone didn’t even make a sound and there was no message waiting for me.

I've received a rather intriguing text about an opportunity to invest in a Canadian gold mine, boasting an eye-watering potential return of 340%. If you're keen for further details, just drop me a message!

I've encountered a rather erratic individual posing as an escort client. Quite aggressive and potentially hazardous to one's well-being. I strongly advise steering clear of this troubling character. Protect yourself from this unsettling presence.
