Ignored my call and didn’t bother to leave a message. Definitely dodgy!

Fraudulent activity.

My phone seems to have a knack for shutting down any dodgy or scammy numbers before I can even see who's calling, so I've got no clue who it might have been this time. However, seeing that so many folks are mentioning it as a Scottish number, I might add that I recently received a call from a blocked number in Glasgow too! If these are genuine calls, there could be quite a few of us with legal matters to discuss! Perhaps we ought to organise a good old BBQ or a meet-up of some kind? How about it? 😂

I received a call from the same number, +44 1320 444019. I answered but kept quiet, and then they just hung up on me. Quite odd, really!

Avoid calling back the number 01320444019; it’s a scam!

I received a rather unwanted call on my mobile from 01320444019, and they rang again shortly after. Not recognising the number, I chose to ignore it.

The moment I picked up, they disconnected.

When I pick up, there’s just nothing but quiet on the line.

I received a call from someone claiming to represent EE, offering me an supposedly fantastic deal. The thing is, I’ve never had an account with them. When I requested that they take my number off their list, they abruptly ended the call. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!

There was a pause, followed by a single beep, and then the call ended abruptly.

Received a call from Carphone Warehouse, and it was quite the unsolicited attempt to hawk their goods. I mentioned I was in the midst of my lunch, yet they continued ploughing through their sales pitch without any sign of stopping.

I answered the call from 01320 444019, but all I got was utter silence on the other end.

Received a call from an unknown number. Quite curious about who it might be!

Not quite sure about this unexpected call.

Disconnected call

Absolutely relentless and dodgy scam! They just won’t give it a rest!

Picked up the call, but there was nothing but quiet on the other end.

fraudulent activity

Picked up the call, only to be met with utter quiet.

I received a missed call from this number, but they didn't leave any voicemail. To me, that sounds quite dodgy.

Who on earth could possibly be trying to reach me from that *Scotland*2000 number? I've just disregarded it entirely.

I was left in a peculiar situation—there was a brief pause, followed by a single beep, and then the call just ended abruptly.

Constant barrage of spam messages, it's relentless...

I picked up the call, but there was complete silence on the other end before they abruptly terminated the conversation.

Picked up the call, but then they hung up immediately.

Received a call on my mobile from an unknown number that my phone flagged as likely a scam. I've gone ahead and blocked the number.

The background noise was reminiscent of a call centre, and the person on the line said they were representing EE. They had this rather odd, sing-song tone in their voice. I decided to hang up and promptly blocked the number.

I received a call claiming to be from Three, suggesting I fork out £39 for a new SIM card. They even asked for my personal information.

I received a rather alarming phone call recently, asserting that I was being pursued for a tax evasion issue and that an arrest warrant was supposedly in place. The individuals on the other end had Indian accents, purporting to be affiliated with a “company” based in Birmingham, though I found it difficult to discern their exact dialect. This, without doubt, reeks of criminal activity, and I firmly believe that authorities ought to intervene and take appropriate actions against these deceitful scammers.

Received a call which purported to be from a mobile company in the UK. Having heard about scams where various mobile networks are implicated and using different phone numbers, I decided to politely decline and ended the call. I’ve since blocked their number.

I recently received a typical scam phone call where the caller, masquerading as O2, attempted to lure me in with promises of discounted deals. Their tactic was to fish for a verification code, aiming to gain access to my online O2 account via the password recovery method. It’s a shame, but I must point out that the caller’s accent was of Asian origin – and while it's regrettable, it seems that a small fraction of individuals from regions like Delhi are behind many of these dodgy calls. This unfortunate reality unfortunately breeds distrust toward those accents during unsolicited calls, which is quite unjust to the many decent folks who share that accent (and make up the vast majority). If you encounter a similar situation, I strongly urge you to report it to Ofcom by sending "CALL [the number in question]" to 7726. For instance, you would text CALL 01320444019.

Indeed, I got a similar message as well.

I let it ring out because I didn't recognise the number at all.

What a hassle! Just received a dodgy call claiming I’m involved in tax evasion and that there's a criminal case against me. Ridiculous!

I chose not to pick up as the number was unfamiliar to me, and there was no voicemail left. I'm guessing it's just another scam call.

Received a distressing call from a robocaller that sounded rather menacing. I'm convinced this needs to be taken up with the authorities since they're masquerading as tax and national insurance representatives, which could genuinely alarm individuals.

I received a rather dodgy proposition involving a shiny new iPhone 13 Pro Max and they claimed they'd sort out the remainder of my brand-new contract. They attempted to ring me again, but I've not entertained it since then. Definitely feels like a scam to me!

I received a notification on my Samsung that this number might be linked to fraudulent activity, so I chose not to pick up the call at 3:19 PM on the 17th of May, 2022.

I regret not answering the call sooner. After seeing all the voicemails they’ve left, it’s clear they’re casting a wide net. Should they ring again, I won’t hesitate to express my thoughts on their antics quite clearly!

I'm in the same boat as many others – received a dodgy automated call claiming that I was headed to the magistrates court. They mentioned something about my National Insurance number being cancelled if I didn't act immediately. Best thing to do? Just hang up!

There was no conversation; the call cut off on its own. I've gone ahead and blocked the number and filed a report.

Received an automated call from Fort Augustus claiming I had a warrant out for my arrest due to unpaid National Insurance. Didn't stick around to see if it was genuine and promptly blocked the number.

Got a dodgy call this morning – best to ignore or just hang up! An American chap claiming to be from Fort Augustus in Scotland rang me up, telling me I've allegedly got a criminal charge against me. What a load of nonsense! I've since blocked the number without a second thought.

Had a peculiar experience earlier — received a call from someone with a foreign accent rambling on about something completely baffling. When I asked for clarification, the line fell silent. Honestly, don't fret if you missed it. Your time is far too valuable to waste on such nonsense!

It appears there's some questionable activity related to tax evasion going on here.

Fart Augustus? Seriously? What a load of nonsense! Total scam artists, if you ask me.

I received a call from this number, but they left no voicemail and I didn't manage to pick up.

I received a rather peculiar call where the individual on the other end seemed to be mimicking a dog, going on about barking incessantly. Quite the odd experience, I must say!

I’ve just experienced a similar load of nonsense. An automated voice droning on about some legal case or other. I promptly ended the call and added them to my blocked list.

Received a recorded message with an American twang claiming that I was under investigation for tax evasion. I promptly ended the call. No doubt about it, it's a total scam!

Without a doubt, it’s a total con! I received a call claiming that there’s an arrest warrant issued for me due to tax evasion!

Received a dodgy call!

I received a rather dodgy automated call featuring a monotone, robotic voice demanding my National Insurance number, instructing me to hit 1 if I wanted to connect with someone. I lingered on the line, only to have a woman’s voice abruptly say goodbye. My advice? Whatever you do, don’t press 1! Just hang up the phone instead.

I received an automated call that claimed there was a legal issue regarding tax evasion linked to my name. It instructed me to press 1 for further information, but I decided to cut the conversation short and ended the call instead.

I couldn't take the call when it came through, and when I attempted to ring back, I was met with a recorded message stating the number is currently unavailable. It all seems a bit dodgy to me, if I'm honest.

I just received a call from this number, and I could barely make out a snippet of some automated message suggesting that I might face legal repercussions. I have a strong suspicion that it's a scam.

I've received my third call today from what seems to be UK mobile numbers. The first two were from London, and now I'm getting one from a number that's supposedly from Fort Augustus. It's all rather puzzling, isn't it?

I chose not to pick up the call. I don't recognise anyone from Fort Augustus in Scotland. It's worth noting that I recently switched to a new SIM with Three, and there were some network issues earlier today. My advice to anyone receiving calls like this is to avoid answering unless you’re certain of the caller’s identity. If it’s a legitimate call, the person will likely leave a voicemail.

Had a right strange call with a robotic voice prattling on about how 'ignoring this call will result in issues with the magistrate' or some such nonsense. Just hung up on it.

I received an offer claiming I could get a complimentary upgrade to the latest iPhone, but it turns out it’s just a dodgy scam.

I just received a rather dodgy phone call claiming that there’s a legal matter involving me and they insisted I share my personal information. Sounds like a total scam to me!

I've just blocked a number that turned out to be a dodgy call trying to pull a fast one.

This number is a total con! I advise you to block it immediately.

I chose not to pick up since I didn't know the caller and had recently received a handful of odd calls regarding some supposed investigation into my National Insurance number for fraudulent activity—completely unfounded, I assure you. Furthermore, I have no acquaintances hailing from Fort Augustus in Scotland either.

Received a call from a number in Scotland, chose not to pick up, and they didn’t bother to leave a voicemail.

Seemed like a typical dodgy phone call – I’m relieved I didn’t pick up!

I picked up the call, only for the line to drop without a word.

Picked up the call, and then they just cut off without a word.

What a nuisance! Just got hit with a dodgy phone call!

I received a rather dubious call from someone purporting to represent Carphone Warehouse, offering me a special deal on an iPhone. Naturally, I inquired how they had obtained my number, and his response was that it came from their call list. I then pressed him on how my number ended up on that list, to which he claimed it was sourced directly from the phone network. Honestly, it felt like he thought I was completely gullible. I've gone ahead and blocked the number and flagged it as spam.

Utterly ridiculous automated drivel regarding magistrates, just rubbish! It’s clearly a con artist attempting to fish for my personal information.

Assume the role of a detective, if you will. However, it's a well-known tactic used by deceivers to pull the wool over folks' eyes, so I decided to cut the conversation short and end the call.
