Got a call from 011799903890 about some government debt I supposedly owe. They started asking for my date of birth and where I live, but never told me who they were or even said my name. Bit sus if you ask me.

I got calls from a bunch of dodgy virtual numbers like 01179 something, claiming to offer money advice for dealing with debts. They said they’d seen my profile earlier today, but honestly it’s all just rubbish. They kept ringing me last week from various similar numbers, all with the same story. Best thing is to just ignore these calls, that’s what I’m doing now and I’d suggest you do too.

For the past three Fridays, I've been getting calls from what I think is a bank security scam - an automated voice each time. The numbers change with every call, and usually, they start with 0191, but last time it was 01179. Bit annoying really.

ABOUT 001179: Got 3 calls within 2 weeks from 01179303100. 1st time I answered, it was some automated message about an amazon prime account (which I don’t have) and I hung up straight away. The other two times I didn’t reply first, and there was just silence, so it looks like the automated reply only kicks in if you say something.
