I received a call on the 9th of July, 2020, from someone claiming to represent Vodafone. At first, they asserted their purpose was to ensure that I was not incurring any unwarranted charges on my device and sought to gather some personal details for 'data protection' reasons. I informed them that there shouldn't be any extra costs since I'd imposed a block on added charges. Suddenly, their story shifted; they then suggested they were checking that I was on the correct tariff and wanted to explore opportunities to save me some money. When I queried how they'd manage that given I was merely halfway through a two-year contract, they expressed their apologies and promptly hung up. I'm quite sceptical that this was genuinely Vodafone; it seems unlikely they would ring me about tariff adjustments until my contract was approaching its conclusion.

Got calls every single week with nothing but that annoying hold music playing forever, definitely a scam. Had to block the number.

No clue who it is, but they ring me almost every week. I've gone ahead and blocked the number now.

I tried ringing back, but all I got was some music playing.

I had a similar experience; it went directly to some tunes and then fell silent. Could it possibly be a recruitment agency?

Picked up the phone, but all I could hear was some kind of music playing in the background. Decided to block the number right away.

Got a missed call on my phone but didn't answer it. No message was left or anything. I tried calling back and all I got was some hold music playing. Seems like a scam, so I’ve blocked the number now on my iPhone.

Picked up the phone but no one spoke. Tried calling back and all I got was put on hold with some music playing, no message or anything. I’m finished with reporting these calls to Ofcom, they’re absolutely useless when dealing with stuff like this. Like trying to use a chocolate teapot for making tea.
