Got a call from a woman who spoke really bad English and kept calling me ma’am. She was going on about my internet connection or something. Felt off, like a scam, so I just ended the call.

I got a call from someone claiming to be with a mobile provider, but their accent was so thick and hard to follow, even after they repeated themselves a few times. Felt dodgy to me, like one of those telemarketer scams.

I received a rather alarming call claiming I owed tax and needed to settle the payment immediately, or I'd face arrest. They had no idea about my employment status or whether I even earned enough to be taxable. The whole experience was frightfully rude and intimidating. I’ve demanded that they provide me with the necessary documentation to support their claims.

So I got a call from 01260 444029 saying they were Virgin Media. I decided to play along for about 5 minutes. They kept pushing a deal with the newest phone, unlimited everything for just £20, and mentioned they'd even clear my existing contract. Sounds a bit suspicious to me!

I got a call on my mobile from someone saying they were with Virgin Media, telling me about a 40% discount on their services. Then they asked if I had an iPhone or Samsung. I just told them, "If you really worked for Virgin, you’d know which phone I use already," and ended the call. Definitely seemed like a scam to me.

Loads of missed calls comin from different UK area codes lately. Mostly spoofed numbers I reckon. The phone companies defo have the gear to spot and block these, but they need parliament or ofcom to step in and make it law. Maybe folks should get in touch with their MP about it!

Got a call claiming to be NHS England, but the person speaking had a strong Asian accent. They used a nickname of my first name which seemed odd since any real official would use my full name from their records. This was actually the third time this week they tried ringing, though each time the area code was different. I was tied up and didn't get to humour them, but now I kinda wish I had.

Had a call from someone saying they were from Carphone Warehouse about upgrading my mobile. They first hit me with a fee of £33, but when I told them I’m only paying £20 atm, they quickly dropped it to the same price. Total con artists. Just ignore and block them, honestly.

Got a call just now from some bloke with an Indian accent saying there was suspicious activity on my bank - something about £1100 being taken for a charity donation and £300 from my Amazon account. Lucky for me, he butchered my name and never got hold of any of my bank info. Honestly, with how mad things are these days, you really need to watch out for these kinds of calls - they sound pretty convincing!

I received a call from this number today, and they were fishing for my personal details under the guise of being from Three, claiming they could help cut down my phone bill. As I began to decline and attempted to end the conversation, the woman on the other end, who sounded like she might be from Pakistan or India, became quite aggressive, demanding my banking information. Naturally, I hung up without providing anything. It's appalling to think there are individuals out there orchestrating such scams-it's frankly revolting! They certainly deserve to be caught and face the consequences for their despicable actions.
