Exercise caution! If you're considering hiring a solicitor, do your due diligence beforehand—look into their background as well as that of the managing partners and their credentials. Solicitors must be registered, you know. There's quite a bit of dodgy legal information floating about online and through unsolicited calls. Better to be safe than sorry!

Watch out for these dodgy scammers! Their trickery revolves around getting you to say "yes," which they then use as a sort of agreement against you. If you come across this sort of nonsense, make sure to report it via text to 7726 or through your phone’s built-in spam reporting feature. Keep an eye out for any confirmation, as you may need to verify you've reported it properly. For an extensive guide on how to flag all sorts of suspicious communications — whether that be emails, texts, calls, dodgy websites, or ads — look up the oft-overlooked PHISHING section on the National Cyber Security Centre's website: 'https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/phishing-scams'. Every report made to this cyber watchdog is investigated and meticulously recorded. Stay vigilant!

This is indeed the genuine Gov.uk ONE. It’s the assistance hotline you should ring if you require support. I’m uncertain if it allows for outgoing calls, yet you won’t receive any correspondence from this number unless you've previously reached out or started an enquiry online. Just be cautious, as fraudsters can effortlessly impersonate this number.

This fraudulent activity made quite a splash in the press a few years ago. To combat these nefarious schemes aimed at pilfering our hard-earned cash, it’s imperative that we report them all through the system established by the government and law enforcement to track, record, and investigate all phone and internet scams. You can find clear guidance on how to notify about dubious emails, texts, calls, websites, adverts, and beyond on the rather underexposed section of the National Cyber Security Centre’s website dedicated to PHISHING scams: 'https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/phishing-scams'. Here’s a quick rundown: Text any scam call details to 7726. Be sure to await a confirmation response, as you may need to verify your submission. For screenshots of suspect texts, drop an email to '[email protected]'. And if you've received dodgy emails, send them over to '[email protected]'. For more comprehensive detail, be sure to check out the NCSC website!

I’ve noticed others claiming it’s a bit of a challenge to pinpoint your location, but I certainly didn’t place an order with Domino’s. Left it unanswered.

Received a call rather late last Saturday at 10:10 PM, but oddly enough, they didn’t bother to leave any voicemail. Quite peculiar!

Smoked his ahh in comp.

I received a text from +44 7935 678081, purporting to be from Nationwide, regarding a one-off code for a payment of £571.90 to booking.com. It instructed me to ring +4420 3290 0360 and provide REF7854127 if I hadn’t made the transaction. Stupidly, I called the number and spoke to a chap who claimed to represent Santander. It was only when he probed for my personal details that the alarm bells really started ringing. What a cunning ruse!

I’m quite baffled by the mechanics of this scam, but it appears this platform receives a plethora of complaints daily regarding calls linked to property disrepair – and from an array of different numbers as well. To put a stop to these nefarious activities, it’s crucial that every one of these incidents is flagged through the system that has been established in conjunction with the government, police, and OfCom, aimed at documenting and addressing telephone and online scams. If you wish to report such occurrences, you can find instructions on the relatively obscure section about phishing scams on the National Cyber Security Centre’s website: 'https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/phishing-scams'. To summarise the key steps: you can text the specifics of the call to 7726, and keep an eye out for any confirmation; you might need to validate your report thereafter. Moreover, screenshots of any messages or calls should be sent over to '[email protected]'. Additionally, don't forget to forward any suspicious emails to '[email protected]'.

Contemplative Nurturance

Absolutely baffled by this one – didn’t receive a call, but out of the blue, I got a text asking if I’m back at home! It’s a bit unsettling, to say the least.

Should you receive any unanticipated communication from your banking institution, it's crucial not to disregard it, but also refrain from taking it at face value. Always disconnect the call, verify that your line is completely free, and then reach out to your bank using the number found on your debit or credit card. It can be quite tricky to determine if the message is authentic or simply a ruse from con artists. However, let's be clear – this is nearly always a scam. Make sure to forward a screenshot of the text you've received to '[email protected]'; the cyber crime unit will look into where it originated. For additional guidance on reporting suspected phone or online scams, you can find comprehensive information on the largely overlooked Phishing section of the National Cyber Security Centre’s website: 'https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/phishing-scams'.

It appears there might be a possible delivery scam circulating, claiming to be from Evri, stating that they attempted to deliver something while no one was home.

Hi. The company is no longer trading, and the number doesn't belong to it either. So, I'm pretty sure the poster is a scammer writing a fake review to target the company owner. I think it's quite disgusting that someone can be so mean and tell lies.

I keep getting these dodgy calls that never bother to leave a voicemail, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number!

I received a call from a woman with an accent that sounded distinctly Indian, claiming she was representing 3UK. She seemed eager to share some ‘exclusive offer’ for 3 clients. However, I decided to throw her a curveball and asked her if she could verify my two contract numbers, which I hinted were right in front of her. Lo and behold, she abruptly ended the call!

I received a rather unexpected video call out of the blue.

I'm receiving an incessant stream of unsolicited calls every single day. Whether it's a scam or just an annoyance, it's definitely starting to feel like harassment.

Beware of this phone number! It seems quite dodgy as the caller, posing as a delivery service, claimed they had 'missed' us and then proceeded to request all our personal information, even down to our date of birth! Exercise extreme caution!

Received a text from this number. They referred to me as 'Mum' and said it was their new contact number. Quite baffling!

When I inquired about how he managed to get hold of my number, he refused to shed any light on it.

I received a call from this number associated with ####. They contacted me to obtain my address and then proceeded to inquire about sending them money. Shockingly, they attempted to swindle my 15-year-old son!
