I got a call from a woman who kept saying it was some kind of courtesy call about their products, but I wasn't sure what she was actually talking about. Don't know why she ended up blocked.

So I got a call from this number, picked up and there was total silence, no one talking at all. Figured something was off and had a look it up here, turns out it’s just a scam.

Got a ring from 03300417571 the other day, these lot are seriously getting sneaky now.

Got a call from 020 3966 2366 first, the guy knew my name and said he was with BFI trading. He told me a mate would ring me about some online trading stuff. I told him I wasn’t interested but he kept pushing me to listen to his colleague. After I cut off, this other number, 0117 205 0581, called me a couple of times and I just didn’t pick up, eventually blocked it. Also blocked the first one too. If anyone rings up claiming they’ve got some amazing info for you, just tell them to leave you alone. Total SCAM.

Received a call from a company called BFI, chatting about some online investment offers. I decided to end the conversation right then and there.

Hmmm sounnds like a badd connection to me!

They tried calling me two times, I didn’t answer either time. So I just blocked the number!

So, this firm claimed to give tips on online trading. Since I was bored, I told them for about 30 minutes that I’m loaded, proper multimillionaire stuff. Then I went on for another 10 minutes about how cold calling’s against the law and demanded they remove my number from their contacts. Sure, it was a bit of a waste of my time, but at least I probably prevented one tosser from hassling someone else.

Got a call from a woman who sounded like she was from China, but the connection was really bad and she had a thick accent. She tried to hand me over to someone else to talk about some investment stuff. I said no and blocked her. Then, the same number 020 8858 0186 called me back two more times straight away. Definitely a scam.

So, looks like the call came from Trade[###]. I reached out to the company’s support team listed on Trade[###] to check if this was some kind of scam, and they actually confirmed that they had given me a ring.

I got a call from someone who knew my full name, and they wanted me to set up a Trade[###] account, asking for my email and account number. Does anyone have any idea where they might have found my info?

For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been getting calls up to 11 times a day from this one bloke pushing some bitcoin scheme. He’s got my full name and address, which is a bit creepy. I told him I’d report him for harassment, but he just rings me back from a different number, claiming there’s no way I can track him down. It’s honestly getting pretty annoying now.
8 years
Don’t trust them, it’s definitely a con. They just want you to put money into a dodgy scheme they’re pushing. Somehow, they managed to get my full name too. A quick search revealed they’re not legit at all. I ended up blocking both their numbers.

Just scammers, nothing else.

This morning was weird, got a call from some guy claiming to be from BFI while I was hanging about for the bus. I told him straight up I wasn’t interested. Later on, the same number rang me again when I was already on the bus, going on some nonsense about investments that made no sense at all. Proper dodgy stuff!

Had a call from someone pushing investment tips. Sounded like a typical sales pitch to me. Definitely a bit dodgy.

Had a similar thing happen to me - first, I got a call from a woman in the States chatting about BFI. Then, about 30 minutes later, a guy from India rang me, calling himself Ernest and saying he worked for [#]trade[###]. Apparently, the woman claimed I was keen on what they were offering, which I never said. When I told Ernest I wasn’t interested, he got a bit pushy and awkward, even asking why I wouldn’t want to earn money! I’ve blocked the number now, no more hassle.

Some bloke rang me from 02070676451 chatting about investing online and trading stuff. He said someone else would give me a ring later. Sure enough, I got a call from 01172050581 afterwards. I wasn’t sure if it was dodgy, so told the woman I had absolutely no idea what she was on about. Apparently, it was something to do with online investments.

Got a call out of the blue from an 020 number claiming to be BFI with some investment chat. They already had my name which was a bit creepy. I pretended to be interested. Mentioned some trader from [#]trade[###] who was pushing me to put money in straight away. I just hung up. Then they called me back after about 10 minutes. Proper annoying!

Someone rang me and already knew my full name, but just kept babbling nonsense about some financial stuff. She mentioned her account manager would get in touch soon to go over "technical stuff," but nothing made sense. They couldn’t clearly say what the call was about or why they were trying to reach me at all. Felt super dodgy. I blocked the number straight away and when they called again, blocked that one as well! Definitely fishy, so don’t bother answering.

Got a call a bit earlier from 0202050581 and decided not to pick up after checking it out. They said they were from some place called BFI, started chatting about Bitcoin, and mentioned they’d send someone else soon with tips on safe investing. Honestly, I'd be wary and not bother answering - sounds like a dodgy scam to me!

Can someone tell me who this is and what they want?

I got a call from a woman who used my name and said something I couldn’t quite catch. She mentioned that her manager would be ringing me soon. After that, I looked up the number online and figured it was most likely a scam. So when the next call came through, I just blocked them both straight away.

Got a call from BFI once more. The first time no one answered. When they tried again, a woman picked up and somehow knew my name. Straight to block.

Got a call from a woman I didn’t know, but she already had me figured out with my full name. She jumped straight into some chat about investing online but refused to say who she was or what company she was with - no identifying info at all! Just before that, I had another call from 02070664571, which I later saw is reported as a dodgy number. Some bloke on the other end was banging on about something called Basic Financial Introduction (BFI), claiming to be top advisors on online investments. I looked them up, and there’s no info anywhere - sounds like a complete con to me.
