2 yearsI had my phone muted and this number kept ringing me like 6 times within just an hour, but I ignored it every time.7 yearsI rang my elderly mum quite early by accident, but luckily I’ve got BT Call Guardian set up so the call never went through. I make a habit of checking all the recent incoming calls on my BT account and blocking any dodgy numbers.BT Call GuardianBT7 yearsI got a call that looked like it was from my area, but when I picked up, there was a recorded message about Ofcom cutting off my broadband unless I upgraded. I waited on the line hoping to speak to someone, but nobody ever came on. It was quite early too. When I tried calling back, I just got a full voicemail box. Proper frustrating!Ofcom7 yearsI got a call from this number at 7:24 this morning. I recently purchased a BT5600 after getting bombarded with loads of calls about internet, broadband, and some Microsoft virus nonsense. The phone's got Call Guardian, like someone else mentioned, and it blocked the call right away since the number wasn’t saved in my contacts. The callers never bother leaving a message either. Honestly, this phone has been brilliant in reducing my stress. Big thumbs up to Call Guardian!Call GuardianKudos7 yearsGot a call at 7:21 this morning but couldn’t pick up. Tried returning it but the voicemail said the inbox is full. Bit worrying, to be honest.7 yearsSo, I got a call at 8:42 in the morning but didn't pick up. The number had a local code, so I tried calling back, only to hear that the voicemail was full. Pretty annoying!7 yearsGot a call from a local number early this morning. Didn’t pick up.7 yearsThis morning at about 8:30, I received a voicemail that was exactly the same as what others have shared. The message matches perfectly with the one I mentioned earlier from 01760 727892.7 yearsMy phone showed a call from 01606 553408 with a message claiming it was an important alert from Ofcom. They said if I didn’t update my broadband service soon, it would get disconnected. I hung up before the message even finished.Ofcom7 yearsThis morning around 8, my elderly mum got a call showing a local area code, which is why she picked up. Thankfully, we've talked to her about dodgy calls before, so she just ignored it straight away.7 yearsGot a call real early, just before 8, from a Northwich area code but it popped up on my phone as an "International call". Proper irritating that was!Northwich7 yearsI answered the phone this morning and it just cut out right away. Those early morning rings from nearby numbers really seem to be a new kind of scam tactic.7 yearsTried giving them a ring but no one picked up.7 yearsLoads of people mentioned this number before, and since it’s from our area (01606), my missus picked up the phone. Luckily, she told me it was some bloke saying our internet service would get shut off if we didn’t upgrade right away! We hung up straight away. I reckon this number needs to be looked into and blocked quick smart. It’d be really unsettling if someone got drawn into talking with them. Big thanks to the “Who Called Me” site for the heads up!7 yearsgot a robocall saying our phone line had to be updated or else the internet would stop working. waited till someone picked up and told them straight it was a scam, then they just cut the call. really frustrating since i live around northwich and worry that some of the older folks here might fall for it.Northwich7 yearsI got a call from what looked like a local number (I’m on 01606), and it was a dodgy message about some “mandatory upgrade” for my phone line. Thing is, I actually had my line properly upgraded just yesterday by my regular provider, so it felt off. They even threatened to cut off my service if I didn’t do it. The call came super early in the morning, which just made it feel even more suspicious and honestly, a bit unsettling.7 yearsReceived a call from 01606 pretty early this morning and since it’s my local area code, I decided to ring back using my Glasgow-registered mobile number.Glasgow7 yearsYeah, I’m right there with all the other comments. The call came in at 7:27 in the morning, and since the area code was mine, I nearly thought it was someone I knew. Thankfully, I use BT Call Guardian, and no one managed to get past the bit where you have to say who you are and press the # button. To me, this whole thing feels really risky. It just leads to stress and confusion, and like others have mentioned, could really upset elderly or vulnerable folks. They absolutely should be called out for this.BT Call Guardian7 yearsMy phone rang at 8:42 this morning but I let it go to voicemail since I have caller ID. Nothing was left on the answerphone, which makes me think it was probably a scam call.7 yearsI had a call just like that too. It wasn’t from my area but did have the Northwich code 01606. After a recorded message ended, the call just dropped. The message sounded proper official with warnings about Ofcom, a free broadband upgrade, and threats about losing service if you didn’t act. It came through pretty early on our landline, which is quite unusual, and I can imagine it could really unsettle folks who don’t know about these scams, especially the elderly.NorthwichOfcom7 yearsJust got a call from them literally a few mins back. So irritating and they're even local. Someone needs to track them down!7 yearsJust a heads up, it’s super quick to set up a virtual landline from pretty much anywhere in the UK, maybe 2 minutes tops. So don’t always trust the area code to guess where a call’s coming from.7 yearsI tried ringing earlier but missed them, so I called back only to find the voicemail was full.7 yearsGot a call from a nearby area code pretty early. When I picked up, they said their voicemail was full and they couldn’t receive any new messages.Submit Your Own Report (01606 553408)
