Got a call from some bloke claiming to be from India, tried all sorts of dodgy tricks to get my info. Proper scam, don’t trust these calls!

A lady with a very thick Indian accent rang me to offer a 30% cut on my O2 bill. She said I didn't need to share any info, they’d just text a link for me to click. It felt like a total scam, so I told her I was busy at work but sure, go ahead and apply the discount. After that, I blocked the number.

They rang me but never said anything, so I just blocked the number.

I answered the phone and all I got was silence, no clue who was trying to ring me or what for. After checking out what others said about this number, it looks like it's one of those scams trying to get you to rack up phone bills. Dodged a bullet there.

Got a call from someone saying they were with O2, telling me they could lower my mobile bill direct debit.

I received a call about upgrading my phone, but it was a bit dodgy. There was some background noise that sounded like a busy call centre in India, but the chap on the line struggled with his English and seemed to be in a real hurry. He even messed up my name, which raised a red flag for me. Definitely felt like a scam! Just to clarify, though, I've had excellent experiences with the Indian call centre for 3 Mobile; they're always spot on and really polite.

The man spoke with what seemed like an Indian accent and told me I could get a 30% cut on my mobile bill. I wanted to check how much I’m paying right now, since if they were really from O2 they’d probably have that info. As soon as I asked, he just ended the call.

I didn’t pick up, but honestly, I feel like I just knew it was a scam. These days I’m so over all the dodgy calls that make no bloody sense - they just seem plain nasty.

It was all rather solemn, to be honest. Just the sound of deep breaths filling the silence. Quite tragic, in a way.

I can say without doubt that this was a fraudulent ploy. This woman claimed she was representing O2 and proposed an enticing 40% off my existing contract. The catch? I’m not even an O2 customer!

Got a call from someone with a really thick foreign accent who was trying to sell me stuff, but honestly I couldn’t make out what they were saying. I’m on the TPS list, so this was totally unsolicited.

I've been getting calls from this number and it's clearly dodgy. The person on the line has a strong Indian accent, and there's a lot of racket in the background-definitely a sign of a scam. What's worse is they seem to be ringing me from a bunch of similar numbers. it's becoming rather tiresome, to be honest.

I got a call from the IET (Institute of Engineering & Technology) telling me that a spot had opened up for an event that was previously full. Pretty straightforward, no issues at all.

over the past few months, this number has rang me up loads of times without me knowing who it was. I normally just ignore it and let it ring out, but sometimes i pick up and then just leave the phone down without a word until they give up and hang up themselves. that second method is kinda interesting because you can tell how long they can put up with no response, usually somewhere between 10 and 45 seconds before they get bored.

Had no idea what they were after since they didn’t even know my name. Don’t got time for random cold calls, so I just slapped them on my blacklist.

Just a few moments ago, I received a call from a lady with a distinctly Indian accent. I struggled to comprehend her words due to her thick inflection. After a brief exchange, I politely told her not to call again and promptly ended the conversation.
