6 yearsGot a call round 11.30 this morning from a number that shows up as Sheffield. It was a robotic message claiming to be from HM Revenue and Customs. Definitely a total scam, I blocked the number straight away. Watch out for this one!Sheffield6 yearsAt 4:19pm, I kept getting a call with some sort of message in either Vietnamese or Chinese - it was just a woman repeating the same thing over and over, no actual person speaking. Really weird and kinda creepy if you ask me.6 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent who somehow knew my name. He said he was from UK Choice and needed to ask a few questions - wasn’t trying to sell me anything though. Been getting calls like this from different places too, like London, Cardiff and Birmingham. I’ve just blocked all of them now.UKBirminghamLondonCardiff6 yearsThose Asian scammers are such pains in the backside.Asia6 yearsAbsolute rubbish scammers, total con artists.6 yearsThat guy from India probably won’t be ringing back - next stop for him should be the police station!India6 yearsWatch out folks! During the Covid 19 lockdown, all the annoying cold call scammers disappeared for a while. Now that things have started opening up again, it looks like these muppets are back at it. I just got a call from 01142785493 from a man with an Indian accent asking for my name. I told him to wait while I fetched the person he wanted, then quickly looked it up online and found out it was another scammer. I hung up straight away and blocked the number. I’d recommend you all do exactly the same!Covid - 196 yearsgot two calls from this number today, both times they tried to verify my info but had me at an address i haven’t lived at for over a decade. when i asked who they were representing, they just cut me off and ended the call. very sketchy behaviour if you ask me.6 yearsGot calls one right after another at half past eight in the morning, but as soon as I picked up, they just cut off. Proper annoying!6 yearsYesterday, this number rang us up and when my wife picked up, she caught just a few words before the caller just cut off. Then again this morning at 7:44 there was another call, and when I answered, nobody said a thing so I ended the call straight away.6 yearsI'm pretty sure these are scammers operating out of India, but pretending to be from the UK by using a local number to mask where they're really calling from. They had a real person's name and address, so either they've hacked some data or bought a dodgy database somewhere online. When I told the bloke the info they had was incorrect, he called me a complete idiot and got really rude. I told him to get lost and ended the call. Watch out, this is a classic scam call.IndiaUK6 yearsWoke up this morning at 7:45 to a call from this number! Honestly, it gave me a proper shock being in bed still. When I answered, the guy said he just wanted to ask me three quick questions and promised not to take long. I told him, “Do you even know what time it is? I’m still in bed!” and he just hung up on me. Really wish I’d saved his number so I could ring him back at some ungodly hour just to annoy him. Absolute muppet!6 yearsthis number has rung me loads of times but everytime i pick up they just hang up so ive decided to block it now6 yearsPicked up the phone but there was silence and they just cut off.6 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with British Choice, calling from a Sheffield number. They wanted to start by verifying my address, but the info they had was from about six years ago and totally wrong. I just ended the call - seemed like a typical scam using outdated details.British ChoiceSheffield6 yearsGot a call at 8.09 this morning, didn’t answer it. I’m just gonna block the number now.6 yearsBuzzed me up at 7:38 in the morning but never said a word.6 yearsGot a call from 01142785493 but no one said anything when I picked up. Probably hung up cause I answered and a bloke was there.6 yearsGot a call around 7:55 from some Sheffield number. I just ended it straight away since I don’t know anyone out there. Looks like this person’s been ringing at least three times in the last quarter of an hour.Sheffield6 yearsI just ended the call as soon as I picked up.6 yearsDidn’t pick up, likely just another dodgy scam call.6 yearsAs soon as I picked up, they just ended the call right away.6 yearsI picked up but they just ended the call without saying anything.6 yearsAnswered but they didnt say anything, so i just blocked the number straight away.6 yearsSo I picked up their call and they asked for just half a minute. I told them I was busy and to ring me back later, but then they said they couldn’t bother calling later and started babbling nonsense. I ended up hanging up on them.6 yearsI picked up but no one said anything.6 yearsI've had calls from this number like 10 times already, but they never leave a voicemail. What's weird is when I try to ring them back, the call just doesn't go through.6 yearsSomeone rang me claiming to be from “British Choice,” so I just ended the call straight away.6 yearsWhen I picked up the phone from 01142785493, they just cut the call straight away.
