I answered and there was someone on the line but they just shut off the call straight away.

Just had a call claiming to be from Sky TV, but it's total rubbish, a proper scam. Best to ignore and not answer.

I missed a call from this number, but luckily my phone’s spam filter picked it up and blocked it straight away. It also tagged the number as potential spam in my call log. So yeah, I’d definitely say this number isn’t safe to trust. Just a heads up!

Somebody from 01242 785513 just rang me up saying it was Three and that my number would get blocked if I didn’t follow some weird instructions. I didn’t bother to listen and just put the phone down. Total scam, best to ignore it.

Got a call from a number I didn’t know, so I just left it and didn’t bother ringing back.

Didn’t pick up as I didn’t recognise the number. Looked it up here afterwards and went straight to block.

They keep ringing first thing in the morning and then again late at night - it’s really frustrating!

This is the second call I've had in two days from a similar voice, kicking off with "can you hear me?" When I said my number’s registered with the Telephone Preference Service, the call got cut off straight away. Last time, they kept trying to talk over me when I said I wasn’t interested in their sales pitch. The number was a bit different from before, but they still manage to make it show up as a legit caller ID.

This is exactly what I'm going through too. The calls just won’t stop, so I’ve taken to not answering at all - definitely the easiest way to handle it. Another trick that’s worked for me is to tell them to wait a moment, then leave the phone nearby while I get on with making a brew, eating, or watching something on the telly. They usually pick up pretty quick that you’re not really interested. If you want to be cheeky, you could even ask them for their own personal phone number so you can ring them back and disturb their own time!

James kept cutting me off, asking if I could hear him clearly. I told him my number's on the TPS list and what he was doing was illegal, but he ignored me and didn't stop talking. In the end, I had to put the phone down. Even worse, every time I block one number, he calls again from a different one with a slightly changed ending. It's so frustrating!

Got a dodgy call about fibreglass insulation the other day, definitely a scam. Wouldn’t trust it for a second.

This number has rung me multiple times and every time it kicks off with "can you hear me". When I ask who's on the line, it's the same bloke but he gives a different name each time. I just put the phone down straight away.

I've come across a scam where an AI caller records your voice, trying to get you to say 'yes' so they can misuse it later. It's best to hang up within a few seconds and never agree to anything over the phone. These scammers use voice cloning tricks - if you're curious, search terms like 'voice cloning fraud' and 'say yes scam' to see how widespread this is becoming. They've also been known to push fake schemes about loft insulation or solar panels. I'd recommend researching those too, and please always report any dodgy calls you get. I've put some details below to help with that.
