When I asked how they got my details, they told me Virgin was like their sister company or something. Honestly, I wasn't interested and didn't appreciate it at all.

Just got this brand new Genius phone, and they want a ridiculous 1.67% cut on every single card transaction. Bit cheeky if you ask me!

kept ringing me over and over, finally picked up and the person started talking about car payments for someone called Gaz Singh. when i told them i had the wrong number, they asked lots of questions trying to figure out who i was. the woman speaking sounded really nice and her midlands accent made it seem quite genuine, so i guess it could be easy to get caught out by this one.

Got a call from Takepayments about my card payment setup. They wanted to know which system I’m using and tried to pitch a better offer. I told them I wasn’t looking to change anything right now.

Got a call on my spare phone from this number, which I've never shared with anyone. The caller talked about paying for a card machine and mentioned some bloke named James from Colchester interested in buying one. After reading these reviews, I regret giving my email just to get my number off their list. I told them I'd report it to action fraud if they keep bothering me. Seriously, don’t pick up or answer calls from this number - just block it straight away.

The number was totally unfamiliar, so I just ignored the call on my phone. There was no voicemail left, so I figured it was either a spam call or nothing important. If this number is flagged for dodgy or harmful behaviour, why isn’t Vodafone just blocking it altogether?

It was one of those automated calls about a car smash. If you keep listening, they try to con you. I told them I needed cash for my cake baking biz in Turkey. They said they’d send the money in 5 weeks!!!

I received a call from this number that I didn't pick up, followed shortly by another one that I did answer. The person on the line claimed to be representing Payzone, and I must say, they were quite courteous. Once I mentioned that my business wouldn’t be utilising their card payment services, they wished me a pleasant day and ended the conversation amicably.
