This number showed up on our sky guard and turned out to be a scam, so we’ve just blocked it now.

They ring me a couple times every time, even after I tried blocking the number. Still, the phone goes. Best to just not pick up.

I keep getting calls from either ### or 00140 every morning around 8:### to 8:###am. It's like they start their day by ringing me! I never pick up, and just as my phone switches to voicemail, they hang up straight away. If it’s important, they’ll leave a message, right? For your own sanity, I’d say don’t bother answering calls from numbers you don’t recognise!

I just let it ring out since I get loads of these annoying spam calls. Best thing to do really, just don’t pick up at all.

Didn’t pick up ‘cos I didn’t know the number. They left a voicemail but it cut off halfway through. From what I caught, it mentioned pressing 1 to talk to someone about an Amazon account.

I’ve gotten calls like this before, using the same spiel but with different company names - definitely sounds like a scam to me.

Honestly, best not to answer calls from unknown numbers, folks!

I've been getting lots of calls lately from the number ######14######-36###-27### and it really seems like some kind of scam or dodgy fraud. Just thought I'd share in case others are getting the same!

I got a call from 00140### telling me I’d won a huge amount on KBC. Seemed a bit fishy if you ask me.

So I paid ### rs from airtel, and right after, they asked me to ring this number 00140###. Honestly, I have no clue who owns that number. I've never dialled it before. This whole thing is really confusing me.

Got a call from 00140### claiming to be Amazon Prime. They said to press 1 but I didn’t. Seems dodgy to me. Avoid pressing anything if you get a call like that.

Today I got calls from some dodgy numbers, all saying there’s an issue with my Amazon account. They called me three times, each from a different number. They told me to press 1 to check my account or something like that. I even saw one of the numbers was international and there was another starting with 00140###. Definitely a scam, so I just ignored it.

Got a call saying my AMAZON PRIME was about to be cancelled and to press one to keep it going. Total scam, looks like they’re trying to charge loads. Just ignored it, don’t press anything, it’s not legit!

Got a call from 00140### at ###.### this morning. I couldn't pick up at the time, but when I looked up the number later, seemed like some kind of scam to me.

These people keep calling, saying my bank owes me money. They sound Asian and are seriously annoying.

I reckon this "Smart Technology" might be a bogus firm trying to get your personal info, like addresses and stuff. Best to keep your details to yourself and not share anything with them.
