2 monthsShe was talking but I just couldn’t make out a word, seemed a bit dodgy to me.2 monthsMy landline rang but the answerphone picked up. As soon as it connected, the person just ended the call straight away. Normally, if someone’s genuine, they’d leave a message, so I’m guessing this was a spam call.2 monthsThis bloke James, talks so proper and won’t take a hint when I tell him to pipe down! I’ve gotten his calls at least three times now, and it’s driving me mad. Tried blocking the number but he somehow manages to ring me from somewhere else!James2 monthsMissed call, no message left. From other comments clearly scammers/spammers and now blocked.2 monthsGot a call on my TPS listed number on 26th May 2013 at about 2:05 PM. Didn’t pick up and they never left a message. Pretty sure it was just some scam attempt.TPS2 monthsI got a call from a woman who just said, “Can you hear me alright?” then she hung up straight away.2 monthsGot a call from someone claiming to be an energy advisor. I picked up, and after a moment the voice came through. As soon as I caught what they were saying, I just ended the call right away!2 monthsNo reply given, and they didn’t leave any voicemail. Sounds like it could be a spam or telemarketer. Best to just ignore it.2 monthsThis number called me earlier, but luckily my new iPhone has this cool feature where it won’t ring or vibrate if it’s an unknown number. Instead, the caller has to leave a voice message through an automated system that types out their words as they speak, kind of like a live text message. I can choose to pick up during that time if I want. Real callers usually use this, but since scammers don’t bother with such features, I never got the chance to see or hear anything. I only noticed a missed call from this number nearly three hours later!2 monthsI got a call from a lady using this number who claimed she was from Three. She told me my phone number, even quoting the last 4 digits, was going to stop working in two days. I didn't trust it and ended the call straight away, then blocked the number.2 monthsI stopped them before things went any further.3 monthsGot a call from 01242785500 at about 10:38, but no one spoke on the line. After looking it up here, I decided to block the number straight away.3 monthsPick up the phone and got the answering machine. The person left a message saying "Morning, can you hear me alright?" and then just let the phone sit off the hook for a couple of minutes. The number I’m on is registered with TPS.TPS3 monthsGot a call on my private number! It's really frustrating because I only share it with family in case of emergencies.3 monthsGot a call today around 10.37 from a bloke who said his name was James, sounded quite young and well-spoken. He claimed to be ringing from the Green Eco Centre in South West London. Thing is, the number started with 01242, which is actually the Cheltenham area in Gloucestershire. When I Googled "Green Eco Centre, South West London," what came up was some kind of AI notice saying that places calling themselves "The Green Eco Centre" or something alike, pretending to be in or near South West London, have been linked to scammy cold calls recently. Bit dodgy if you ask me.JamesGreen Eco CentreSouth West LondonCheltenhamGloucestershireGreenEco CentreThe Green Eco Centre3 monthsThere's this persistent stranger who keeps calling me, calling himself "David". He never uses the same phone number twice and always pitches some kind of service. It’s like he’s deliberately dodging phone security by switching up his numbers all the time. Proper annoying!David3 monthsI got a call about loft insulation for my home. The voice seemed quite natural at first, but whenever I asked anything important, there was no proper answer - just silence, which made me think it was some automated bot. Also, they ended up spelling my last name as QWERTY, and their only reply was a simple "OK :-)" which was a bit weird.QWERTY3 monthsGot calls from a scammer who kept ringing even though my number’s unlisted and on the TPS. Really annoying how they don’t seem to care about the registration at all.TPS3 monthsGot a call from a bloke with a really English accent who said his name was David. He claimed to work for a company dealing with doors and windows. Sounded a bit fishy to me.David3 monthsThere's this bloke who somehow gets hold of your private phone number, probably from a phone company he used to work for or something. He calls up loads of times, saying he's "David" and tries to sell all sorts of dodgy stuff. Really irritating and feels like a proper scam.
