Left Virgin just a few weeks ago, and since then I've been bombarded with calls from various numbers. Seems like they passed my info on to scammers right away, ‘cause the calls started the very same day I quit. Proper frustrating!

They kept insisting on getting my card info, especially the expiry date, and just wouldn’t accept a refusal. Seemed like they already had my name and address because they mentioned them without me saying anything. Felt like they were expecting me to give the details.

A woman with an Indian accent rang me up, purporting to be from Carphone Warehouse. I put her on hold, fully aware it was a dodgy call, and I’m relieved to find out my instincts were spot on.

I live in the 01248 area, and I must admit that I got a bit wary when I saw the number 248016 pop up. In my experience, every number beginning with 01248 usually has a 7 as its second digit. Quite peculiar, if you ask me!

I answered the phone and said hello a few times before asking who was calling. They claimed to be from some insulation company, which I definitely don't need. As soon as I realised they were trying to scam me, I told them straight up they were scammers and told them to bugger off, then hung up. We've been getting loads of dodgy calls lately, and honestly, these scammers who can't find proper jobs deserve to be treated like rubbish. They’re just awful people preying on innocent, hardworking folks or those who’ve got very little to start with.

This bloke was clearly trying to scam me. When I told him he should be embarrassed, he straight up admitted it. He rang up pretending there was some refund for my energy bill. I’d say block the number and don’t share any info, even if it looks like a legit one.

This number kept ringing me, so I finally answered. The guy on the other end said his name was Jacob, but he spoke with a really thick Asian accent. It felt dodgy right away, so I ended the call straight away. It's been calling non-stop for days now, and I’m pretty sure it’s just another scam.

I received a phone call from a woman who had quite a pronounced Indian accent. To be honest, I couldn't quite grasp where she claimed to be ringing from-thought I caught a mention of Carphone Warehouse. So, I politely requested her to repeat it, and she somewhat hesitantly replied, “I think it’s Carphone Warehouse.” I found that a bit peculiar. I've never had any interactions with them, so I told her I wasn't interested and promptly blocked the number. It really didn't seem like a legitimate call at all.

I received a call from a number claiming to be based in Wales, yet I discovered their office is actually registered in New Delhi. They went on about being affiliated with Carphone Warehouse, Currys, Visa, or Mastercard. Instead of cutting them off, I ended up chatting for a solid 20 minutes about a spat I’d had with my partner! Honestly, I don’t mind spending a bit of time messing with them after a long day, it’s quite entertaining, isn’t it?

Beware of this amazon scam! I got a call from a really polite lady’s voice, definitely sounded professional but it was just a recording trying to trick people. They didn’t say amazon right away, just that some apple iphone had been bought for more than £700. Then it said press 1 to cancel or get a refund. Total scam, I just hung up quick and blocked the number! The number was 01248248016.

I recently acquired a new SIM card, and to my surprise, within mere moments of activating it, I received a call from a number based in Bangor. Upon tracing the caller, I discovered that it's not affiliated with any UK firm; in fact, they seem to be operating from a call centre in New Delhi with a team of 16 agents. If this number, 01248248016, happens to ring you, I'd recommend blocking it immediately. These scammers have a rather low opinion of people's intelligence, don’t they? I often engage them in conversation, sharing fictitious tales about my day and lamenting my financial woes, which tends to send them packing rather quickly. After that, they usually stop contacting me altogether!
