I got a message from a woman named Chloe. She sounded American but her photo made her look East Asian. She said she was an "assistant" for something called Diamond Ridge Financial Academy. From what I can tell, this group is tied up with a dodgy crypto trading scheme on WhatsApp - something called UK Investment Forum VIP 36. They keep urging people to send large amounts of cash to accounts they manage, which seems really fishy to me.

Getting a call from 0131 618 9908 at the moment. No sound on their end, just dead silence.

A chap with an Indian accent inquired if my address information was accurate. I chose not to divulge anything, yet he appeared to already have the details. I decided it was best to end the call.

So, turns out they approved me for a loan I never even asked for. Honestly, that feels really risky and dodgy.

I've had a number from Edinburgh ring me loads, saying I'd been in a car crash. Since we're on the FPS list, I made sure to report them. They've tried calling me about six times just this week.

Got a call from some personal accident scam, sounded like an Indian bloke. I told him to take my number off their list but he just went on and on. Ended up hanging up, and then he rang me straight back, threatening to keep ringing just to annoy me. What a charm!

got three calls from this number today, claiming they had info that someone linked to my phone was in a car crash last year. i kept telling them they were wrong and asked them to take my number off their list. they kept insisting i wasn’t hearing them and repeated the crash story. i told them again that was false and warned them i’d report them if they didn’t stop contacting me. after that, the caller just went quiet and then hung up.

I got a call from 0131618 9775, some bloke claiming to be from Microsoft. He said he was trying to stop a scam on my PC and gave his name as David O’Connell with a ref number MT 055312. The guy sounded Asian and said he was from the Windows tech department. Something felt a bit off, so I just ended the call straight away.

I had a look at their site but got a bit doubtful about how good their Viagra really was, so I didn’t finish the order. Then they rang me up, trying to convince me to go ahead and fill in my payment info.
