I received a rather dubious call today, claiming to discuss some charges on a card and requesting verification. It's funny, as I've had similar calls in the past, usually around lunchtime. Quite the nuisance, really!

Got a call from 01246812485 and straight away it felt off. It was one of those automated messages saying there were unauthorised charges on my card for about £600 and £300. They said something about Amazon too. I couldn't help but ask, which bank or company would send a recorded message like that anyway? Seemed really fishy to me.

Got a call from someone saying they were from Visa, telling me my card had been charged £500 on Amazon. They asked me to press 1 to speak with a rep but I just hung up straight away.

Got a robocall saying my card was used for £500 on Amazon or eBay. They told me to press one to sort it out or two to cancel. I just ended the call. Definitely a bank scam from 01246812485!

FAKE BANK SCAM - CLEARLY NOT A LEGITIMATE BANK. When is Ofcom gonna take action against the folks who are basically "leasing" these numbers out? They really ought to be held accountable if people get scammed and lose money. These companies are profiting off dodgy schemes on purpose since they never bother to properly check how their numbers are being abused.

Had a call from an unknown number, no one on the other end. Seems like it's likely a scammer employing various phone lines. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!

Fraudsters at it again! I received a call saying that funds were withdrawn from my bank account by Amazon. I didn't stick around to hear any more and ended the call.

I’ve lost track of how many times those #### have rung me. Every time it’s the same spiel and always the same call charges. I reckon I’ve spent well over £100,000 by now. They’re just messing about, wasting both their cash and effort. Honestly, no idea how these con artists even get hold of phone numbers. Meanwhile, I have to struggle to find a number when I need one. It’s high time companies like BT stopped handing out numbers to scammers. There really should be some sort of group that you can report these calls to, so the numbers get blocked for good.

Got a call claiming my card was charged twice for purchases I didn’t make. Obviously a scam, so I just hung up and blocked the number straight away.

Got a call from someone pretending to be my bank, claimed there were two suspicious transactions on my card... immediately hung up and blocked the number.

I got an automated call saying that £300 had gone out of my account from Amazon, and also £1,100 had been withdrawn by some overseas individual or company. I hit my Call Protect button straight away to block the number. No doubt about it, this is a scam! It was actually the second time I’d got this call today. The first came from a different number but with exactly the same recorded message. These scammers are pretty crafty. Watch out!

It was a scam call for sure. Got a recorded message with some American accent saying there’d been two charges on my card, and to press 1 if I wanted to talk to someone. I pressed and it just cut off.

I had to call the bank because there were a couple of strange charges on my card that I wasn't sure about and needed to confirm.

Definitely seemed dodgy to me, she was jabbering on about some debt on cards that don’t even exist. I just wiped the message straight away.
