Got a call from 01538 528474, supposedly Sky TV’s billing team saying I’d overpaid and were going to give me a refund. They already knew my full address which made me suspicious. Watch out, this could be a scam trying to trick you!

Got a call from someone named Scarlet at Safeguard, she wanted to know if I'd been in a recent car crash. I said she must have dialled the wrong number and ended the call straight away. Number was +44 1538 133338.

Got a call from an unknown number, but the moment I answered, it just cut off. This is the second time it’s happened now, really irritating! I’m on the TPS list and my number’s unlisted too, so no clue why these calls keep coming.

I get calls from this number at least twice daily, but whenever I answer, there's dead silence. Honestly, it's pretty annoying in more ways than I can count.

Got a call from someone asking loads of questions about my household and stuff. Seemed a bit dodgy to me, like they were fishing for info. Definitely felt a bit off. Just be careful if you get anything similar!

Got a voicemail saying if I want to opt out, I should call 2038684136. Didn’t bother to ring them back!

I’m officially on the TPS list, yet this number just won’t stop calling me. Makes me wonder if signing up to TPS actually does anything at all? Quite frustrating!

even tho ive reported these calls to tps and ofcom, they just wont stop. i reckon because i picked up once, they figured out my number is real and now they keep ringing non stop.

I picked up and heard nothing for a few seconds, then suddenly a click like someone joined the call. A woman then asked if she could speak to our director using his first name. When I told her he wasn't here, she just hung up straight away. Pretty sure it was a spam call.

I saw the number but didnt know who it was, so I just ignored the call. Since there was no voicemail left, I figured it must have been some kinda spam. I've blocked the number now!

I get calls from these spammers at least two times daily! They wouldn’t tell me who they were unless I gave them my info, which I definitely didn’t. When they started using my name, I just ended the call straight away!

been called a couple times today by the same number. i pick up but nothing's said right away, then after a few seconds, you get that typical call centre noise and the call just drops. seems dodgy, maybe spam, but can't say for sure.

Got a call from this number, they claimed there was a problem with my Windows 10. When I asked where they were calling from, they said Reading. Then I asked when and where the problem happened and they just hung up! How can someone in Reading have a local area code like that? They tried saying it was their ID from a satellite phone - what a joke. Be careful, more scammers about!

Had some issues with Windows, sounded like a total con job for sure.

Got a call from someone claiming to be Windows support, saying there was an issue with my computer and telling me to switch it on. I told them no since I hadn’t touched it in over a month. They then said they’d ring back tomorrow. Definitely a scam, so I’ve blocked the number now.

I didn't pick up the call, and up till now, they haven’t called back!
