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 picked up a call on my mobile, and the person on the other end insisted they were from Virgin Media. They boasted about some big 40% discount on their products and then inquired whether I owned a Samsung or an iPhone. I responded, saying, “If you truly were Virgin, you’d already have that info about my device.” Shortly after, I hung up-definitely a scam!

I've been inundated with missed calls lately, all coming from different areas across England. Seems like they're all just spoofed numbers. Perhaps it's time to reach out to your local MP! Phone companies certainly have the technology to identify and prevent these calls, but it seems they need a nudge from Parliament or Ofcom to actually implement those measures.

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.

I had yet another experience with Carphone Warehouse recently. I was looking to upgrade my mobile and they quoted me a fee of £33. But when I mentioned that my current plan is just £20, they swiftly aligned with my rate. Quite dodgy, if you ask me. I'd recommend steering clear of them and just blocking their number.

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!

Received a phone call from someone purporting to be from Carphone Warehouse, trying to sell me the newest iPhone. They said it came with unlimited texts, calls, data, and a whopping 2000 international minutes, all for £35. However, O2 flagged it as a potentially dodgy call.

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.
