A bloke rang me from 01162989005, said he was with some kids’ charity and was telling me about a magazine they’ve got out just in time for Christmas. When I mentioned I’ve fallen for similar things in the past and wanted to check it out properly before agreeing, he suddenly shut up. I tried to get his name but then he just ended the call.

Got a missed call earlier today from 01162989005, rang it back but no answer and seemed dodgy. Definately looks like a scam number to me.

Received a random phone call, but the person on the other end just cut off the line without saying a word. How frustrating!

What a slick talker, pretending to ring from a charity or something. Felt like he was sold out or something. The minute he saw he wasn’t getting me to agree, he just ended the call. Be careful with these sorts of calls... 01162989005

This bloke called asking about who we use for adverts, was really cheeky and then just dropped the call on me.

Charity? Nah, I really doubt it. Sounds more like some sneaky scam to me, those people are just crooks.

This number, 01162989005, says it’s from some children’s cancer charity. Honestly, sounds dodgy to me. What a bunch of creeps!

Total scam, how do they even let these clowns get a number to call from? No one seems to do any proper background checks on them 🤨🤨

Such a bother, just a complete waste of my time! They said they were from a charity but felt dodgy to me.

Got a call from a guy today asking which company we used for our adverts. Told him we just get most of our business through word of mouth, then he just ended the call straight away.

Total scammers, avoid them at all costs!

Yeah, got loads of calls from them too - said it was for a charity. They kept ringing me all day long, and I used to just put the phone down on him. Now I’ve blocked the number ‘cause it was getting proper annoying.

They said they were from a cancer charity, but when I asked simple questions that any real charity would easily answer, they just cut me off. Definitely a scam, no doubt about it.

They said they were from a kids’ cancer charity, but I’m not convinced.

This one’s a classic con, really. They ring up small businesses offering brochure slots, supposedly to fund kids’ charities. Just another way they’re exploiting people’s kindness.

Received two calls within a couple days. There was a short pause of like two or three seconds and then they just said "Goodbye" and ended the call.

Someone called saying they needed help for a kids cancer charity. I told him to drop me an email, and he said he would. Bit odd though, he never actually asked for my email address, which seemed a bit off. Hmmmmm.

There was a pause for a couple of seconds, then a beep sounded, and the call got disconnected.

I got a call asking if I’d be interested in sponsoring a message for a kids’ cancer charity magazine. Honestly, there wasn’t any way to tell if it was legit or just a scam.

Same old story - just as you pick up, they put the phone down straight away.

I’m pretty sure it’s some sort of telemarketer, so I went ahead and blocked the number. But now it keeps popping up on my call list, like five times a day. Seriously, just stop ringing me!

I picked up the phone, and after a couple of seconds, there was this beep noise and some faint sounds in the background. Pretty sure it was one of those scam calls.
