7 yearsThey keep ringing but with a hidden number, just checking quietly here.7 yearsI got a call from this number right after I ordered something on Deliveroo to a place in Cheltenham. Bit suspicious, right? They were trying to sell me something but I couldn’t catch what it was. I just said no and ended the call.DeliverooCheltenham7 yearsSome tosser trying to pull off a scam.7 yearsGot a call from an unfamiliar number but no voicemail was left. Decided to block it.7 yearsTotal scam, just ignore it. They claimed my landline and internet would be cut off and said they’d connect me to tech support, but only if I paid. Definitely dodgy!7 yearsI put a call blocker app on my phone, and it flagged this number as risky.7 yearsHad a woman ring me up saying I’d won a holiday, then she handed me over to another person in Anaheim who asked if me and my husband earned above a certain amount. Then she said sorry, I couldn’t get the prize because our income wasn’t high enough. What’s that got to do with winning a prize? I reckon it’s total rubbish.7 yearsChecked out the comments and decided to block the number straight away.7 yearsGot a call from 01242801685, some woman saying I'd won a holiday in Florida. Total rubbish, don't get taken in by it!Florida7 yearsAfter seeing what others said, I just chose to block the number and not answer.7 yearsI got a call from a lady claiming I’d won a holiday in some contest she said I joined on 19th July. I told her I never signed up for any holiday competition and just ended the call. Feels like a total scam to me.7 yearsGot a call from a lady claiming I won some prize at Seaworld. Definitely a scam since I’ve never even signed up for any Seaworld contests.SeaWorld7 yearspart 3. Sorry for going on, but I get loads of these scam calls daily, and got scammed out of more than £45,000 by a dodgy builder about 6 years ago. I’m still dealing with the fallout, having to fork out another £30,000 on repairs and legal stuff. Sadly, I reckon most of these scammers can’t be caught since the calls probably come from places in the far east or Africa, where it’s almost impossible to get them extradited.EastAfrica7 yearsGot a dodgy call claiming I’d been in a car crash and offering legal and insurance help. Told them I was the one who caused it, and the line went dead quicker than I expected. To the person below, don’t worry about the rant mate, these scam calls could be sorted by the UK phone companies but since they profit from forwarding calls overseas, why would they bother actually helping us regular folks who keep reporting these fake numbers and scams on this brilliant site?7 yearsGot a call from 01242801685 today claiming I’d won a holiday, then they started asking for personal info so I ended the call.
