Got a call from 01438940791 but there was no one speaking. Figured it was a scam, so I tried ringing back with my number hidden. It went straight to voicemail saying the caller wasn’t available. I’ve decided to block the number now.

Sounds like a robo-call from somewhere like Russia or maybe way out in the far east. Honestly, the best fix would be to just nuke those places and be done with it!

Most definitely a scam - they just hang up without saying a word. Silent calls like this are always dodgy.

Got a silent call earlier, which is probably for the best considering my mood today - honestly, could’ve really used someone to rant to right now.

This enterprise seems to operate on a rather dubious basis, profiting off unsuspecting individuals who fall prey to con artists utilising phoney numbers. It's rather tragic how some innocent souls, unaware of the trickery, return the calls and inadvertently expose their naivety, thus landing themselves on a roster for future exploits! It's disheartening that one’s willingness to trust is often flipped to be seen as a flaw rather than a vulnerability of the system.

This number just rang me, but I didn't pick up 'cause it stopped after like five rings. I haven't called back, but looked it up and it seems like it might be scammers. When will BT or the government actually do something to put an end to these fake number scammers ripping off innocent people?

I got a call from someone who said her name was 'Rosy Grant' claiming she was from British Telecom and offering me 35% off my phone bill. She kept saying I needed to have my direct debit info ready so she could process the discount. She kept insisting she was ringing from BT’s HQ and gave the number 0800 800 164. But actually, the call came from 01438 940 791. I couldn’t quite place her accent but she definitely didn’t sound English.

They rang but didn’t bother leaving any message. I’m guessing these muppets probably check out these review sites to see what folks think about them. So here’s a message for those lot - why not go and find a proper job, you utterly useless wasters! Lazy vultures, the lot of ya.

Had this quiet ring from a legit-looking virtual number, probably based anywhere really. Definitely seems like one of those scam calls - mass dialling loads of folks and only a few end up getting conned when they call back. Best advice? Keep your number hidden if you do decide to call back an unknown missed number, otherwise they'll just pop your number onto their list of easy targets.
