As someone who resides by themselves, I recently received a rather menacing phone call that left me feeling quite unsettled.
8 years
They didn’t leave any voicemail.
8 years
I received a rather alarming automated voicemail claiming that there’s a legal case against me, and that my property is being monitored closely. They warned that any delays in responding could lead to legal action. The really frustrating part is that I can’t even get through to them to ask what’s going on! If anyone has any advice, I’d really appreciate the help.

I've already reported this to ww.actionfraud.police.uk.

My 12 year old daughter got a message on her phone that really scared her. Obviously, we’ve blocked the number now.

Just like the other calls, I didn’t answer, and then they left this automated message claiming there’s some lawsuit against me and my home is being watched. They never say what it’s really about or which company is behind the call. Best to ignore it and definitely don’t ring them back!!!
8 years
This number is absolute rubbish. I’d suggest blocking it straight away. Any “service” that claims you and your family are being watched and your home monitored should be shut down. Just block it, seriously!

Got a phone call just now with a robotic message sayin there's a lawsuit against me and my house is being watched. Seriously, why haven’t I got any letters or heard from a lawyer about this? Didn't bother calling back as asked. Strange times!
8 years
Totally agree with what others have said - IT'S A SCAM, don’t ring back. Got a recorded message saying it was from HMRC, saying my house is watched and I’m being sued. They wanted me to call a number. I’ve reported it to Action Fraud - https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/report_fraud

Didnt pick up since it showed as an unknown number. Left a really scary voicemail tho. I rang back and they asked for my first and last name. Told them this was daft and they just ended the call. Blocked the number now but still worried they might have got my name somehow.
8 years
Exactly like the one before. Felt really intimidating. I've blocked the number.

I bet some folks get proper freaked out by these daft calls. Oh, your house is being watched - yeah right. Any legit agency carrying out that kinda surveillance wouldn’t be telling you straight up. What cheeky blokes!
8 years
So now my name's linked to you and I'm being watched or what? Bit worrying how many folks might have called. But honestly, no stress. It’s just a scam.

Looks like my name got dragged into this whole spying thing too. Bit worrying to think about how many calls have come through because of that. But honestly, don’t stress, it’s just a scam.

I got the same call and called back, told the bloke he couldn’t be serious, then he just dropped the call!

Just like before - reported and blocked straight away.

"insert your name here". Total timewasters and dodgy scammers. Best thing is to just block the number and not answer any more times.

So creepy, just got a call saying my house is being watched. What is wrong with people these days????

Its laughable but I can imagine it would frighten quite a few folks. Saying it’s from HMRC, threatening with legal action and saying your home is under surveillance - then they want an urgent call back. Best thing to do is just block em and don’t answer.

Total RIP-OFF - I rang the number back and some bloke with an Indian accent picked up, saying he was Officer David Evans. When I asked for his proper name, he just shot back "ask your mum ya white bastard". Honestly, I was gobsmacked. Best to just ignore this one.

I was just chilling on YouTube when this random number rang me up, saying my house was under suvalice or something and I'd be prosticuted or whatever. I went downstairs to show my mum, and she phoned them back. They started talking all funny like they were from abroad. Mum wasn’t having it, told them to cut the crap for calling my 11 year old daughter, then of course the muppet hung up. All these con artists really deserve a good kick in the teeth.

Strange call from an unknown number. This robotic voice claimed my property was being monitored and warned me to ring back immediately or else I'd face some sort of legal trouble. The message started abruptly before the voicemail even kicked in, so part of it was missing. I’ve gone ahead and reported it to Ofcom.
