I got a call about a job as a support worker, but I'm not on the lookout for a new job and I definitely don’t live near Cheltenham. Left a message too, which felt a bit odd.

So, I got a few calls today from someone claiming to be with Three Mobile, trying to flog me an iPhone for way too good a deal. They even said I could keep my existing number and network - bit fishy if you ask me. Honestly, felt like one of those HMRC scams or something. They rang me three times all within an hour. Proper dodgy if you ask me!

This looks like a dodgy number to me. It’s a local dialling code, yet the call quality suggests it’s coming from abroad. Best to steer clear of this one.

Received a call from a chap touting some kind of phone promotion, though it was a bit of a muddle to grasp the specifics due to his thick Indian accent. I kept pressing him about how he hadn’t verified my number against the Telephone Preference Service's “do not call” list. After a bit of back and forth, he eventually conceded and promptly terminated the call.

I got a call from this number a while back and it was some telemarketer wanting to sell me stuff, I told them I wasn’t interested. Then after a couple of days, the calls started again but nobody said a word, the call just disconnected after a few seconds. Pretty strange really.

I was in the thick of trying to offload some mobile phones when this caller rang me up. After I cut the conversation short, they had the audacity to ring me back not once, but twice! In the end, I decided enough was enough and blocked the number.

Got a call off this number, sounded like one of those dodgy telemarketers trying to flog a Christmas deal or something. I just ended the call but they kept ringing me back. Definitely felt like a scam to me.

So this annoying number rang me like six times straight and every single time they just hung up. Finally, when I picked up, the person on the other end, an Indian lady, had the nerve to tell me to F--k my mum. Proper rude!

I received a rather peculiar phone call today. It started with, "Hello?" (Just for clarification, I’m female, not male.) Then, the voice on the other end said, “Good day, madam, we’re reaching out to inquire about your mobile-” I abruptly cut him off with a firm "No," and ended the call. It was obviously just another marketing team attempting to peddle their “exciting offers.”

My husband had a ring from this number about ten minutes before I did. Obviously one of those well-known HMRC scams. I didn’t pick up, but I've told them off so many times trying to scare them with arrest threats - it's pretty funny to me. Still, I bet some folks get tricked by it.

Got a call from someone trying to push a £30 deal on me, but I couldn’t really catch what it was all about. I ended up hanging up, then looked it up and found out it’s definitely a scam number.

They called me claiming my social security number was involved in some fraud and told me to ring them back or I'd get arrested. The weird part is, they acted like I hadn’t even picked up the phone. It’s really frightening how these scammers try to trick folks with stuff like this.

I've been bombarded with calls from this number, with the caller throwing around terms like "my darling" and "my mate." The background is just a cacophony of call center chatter, with each person apparently addressing a different caller. It’s all rather baffling, as I've no clue what they're after. I've even pleaded with them on three separate occasions to take me off their list, yet they keep ringing!
