Got two calls from this number within half an hour but didn’t pick up since I didn’t know who it was. After checking online, turns out it belongs to some delivery firm, but after seeing what people say, I decided to block it anyway.

I got a robo call about a debit card charge or something, and it’s been bugging people for like 11 months now. Seriously, why does it take forever to shut these annoying lines off? So frustrating!

Got a call from this number last week telling me money had somehow been taken from my bank account, turned out it was a total scam.

Had a call from an automated voice, saying my bank account was hacked and £700 taken out. They told me to press 1 to speak with someone. The number they used looked like it was from a real delivery company.

This is actually a delivery firm’s real number, but it’s getting used by scammers trying to trick people. Just a heads-up to stay cautious!

Got a call from a guy with an Asian accent claiming to be from the Visa Security Team. When I told him I don’t own a Visa card, he quickly ended the call.

Some dodgy lot from Leicester called me, saying cash had vanished from my bank! Absolute muppets just trying to stress you out 🤢

A bloke called saying he was James from Open Reach, telling me my IP address was showing as public now instead of private after some work done nearby last week. He said he could fix it. Then he asked if my internet was running slow. I told him it was, but we’d just got a new wireless router to fix that and my son was handling it. He ended the call right after that. The number seemed local to me. Definitely a scam, no doubt about it.

Checked this number out and seems like it’s connected to some round-the-clock same day delivery company. I didn’t ring back though, worried it might be some dodgy firm or a rip-off premium call scam. They didn’t leave any voicemail either, and I only ever share my mobile with couriers, never my home phone.

Someone rang me saying they were from a credit card company, but it sounded really dodgy to me. They kept pushing to get my details, which made me suspicious it was a scam. Definitely didn’t feel right at all.

Got a call from someone claiming to be from my bank’s security team wanting me to confirm some recent transactions. Total scam, don’t fall for it!

They didn't even bother to leave a message, total scam.
