2 yearsGot a call claiming to be from HMRC, they were all full of threats about legal trouble if I didn’t sort something out. Felt like a proper scam to me!HMRC2 yearsThis number popped up with "The Nail Studio" showing on my caller ID. The bloke on the line claimed he was from O2, but I called him out straight away. I acted like I couldn’t catch what he said while I quickly searched the number online. He then said he was offering me some sort of promotion, claiming that's why the nail salon name appeared, and even tried blaming my phone for saving it that way… which I definitely didn’t do. I told him he was clearly pulling my leg and that he was a scammer, then ended the call. Blocked the number immediately after.The Nail Studio3 yearsThis idiot claiming he's involved in scams and threatening to call anytime during the night if you’re not nice just proves how daft they really are. With brains like his, I’m sure he’s broke as anything, thick as two short planks. When they ring me, I mess them about so they don’t pester anyone else, it’s pretty entertaining. Give it a try yourself. People power over these plonkers!3 yearsThere's this numpty who claims he's a scammer and warns he'll call at all hours if you're not nice. Honestly, it just highlights how daft some of these lot are. With that brainpower, I'm sure he's rolling in it - as thick as a plank. When they ring me, I just mess about with them so they don't hassle anyone else. It's actually a bit of a laugh, you should try it. People power over these clowns any day!3 yearsYou can just switch your phones off at night, you muppets. Didn’t even think of that, did ya?3 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be British Gas about renewing a maintenance deal. They started asking for my bank info, which made me suspicious, so I told them to stop trying to con me and hung up. They tried ringing me immediately after, but I’ve blocked the number now. The call showed up as an Axminster area code, and the person on the other end sounded like they were juggling loads of calls at once.British Gas3 yearsScam alert regarding boiler services! I received a phone call from someone named Max, who spoke with a thick foreign accent and struggled to say my name properly. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!Max3 yearsIf you come across scam calls or numbers, make sure to send a report to 7726. Doing this helps flag suspicious activity across all phone networks. Sadly, the option to directly report scams through the police’s 'Action Fraud' website isn’t available anymore - it’s been shut down, probably to save money? You might want to bring this up with your local MP. But don’t worry, you can still email screenshots of scam text messages to the cybercrime team at '[email protected]', and of course, forwarding those to 7726 is also useful.Action Fraud3 yearsTotal scam, don’t waste your time with this.3 yearsLoads of dodgy callers pretending my insurance is up for renewal or that my household stuff needs fixing. They've been at it for months, ringing me nonstop. I've told them off before to stop calling, but they just keep switching numbers whenever I block one.

You could hear loads of chatter in the background like a call centre, but then they just ended the call without speaking at all.3 yearsGot a call from a number I didn't recognise, no voicemail though.
