I received a missed call from this number today - it’s the second time it's happened. When I tried ringing back, there was just silence on the line. Quite baffling, really!

I just received a missed call from this number. As an Orange customer, I'm starting to suspect that my information may have been sold off, leading to some dodgy firm acquiring a bunch of numbers and personal details. I think it would be wise to get in touch with Orange to address this issue. If enough of us ring up and highlight the situation, perhaps they'll take action to sort it out!

This number has been calling us persistently over the last few weeks, but we always seem to miss the call. Every time we try to return the call, it just doesn't connect. It's rather strange, so we decided to do a bit of digging online and stumbled upon this site. After reading through the other remarks, it looks like it's an absolute scam, and we'll be ignoring any further attempts from this number from now on. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences!

Received a call from this number whilst I was on the job - it barely rang before they hung up. After doing a quick search online, we've decided against answering any future calls from this number. We're on Orange, and quite frankly, it all sounds rather suspicious to me!

This number has been trying to get in touch with us daily for the past couple of days. Each time we've attempted to return the call, however, it gets declined every single time. We’ve decided to just disregard any further attempts from this number now.

I recently received a call from a chap claiming to be inquiring about our Orange upgrade. I let him know that I’d just done that and then he abruptly hung up. When I tried to ring the number back, it wouldn’t connect. Just a heads up to everyone - stay vigilant!

I've had a similar experience, though unfortunately, my follow-up calls haven't come through either. It seems like some information has indeed made its way to us, and as we're all Orange customers, we reckon they're the ones we need to contact about this. I'll share my findings after I've had a word with them.

I’ve had a right run-in with these chaps, who’ve just tried to call me for the second time. The first time, we chose to ignore it, but when we finally picked up just now, they had the cheek to verify our mum’s name as the account holder! It’s bewildering because we updated that info ages ago. When we told them we were the current account holders, they abruptly hung up! Is there a proper way to safeguard your personal information from these sorts? And are these callers specifically zeroing in on Orange customers, or what?

Received a call from this number today. It's rather concerning because it's been over two years since we left Orange, which makes me suspect someone is peddling our personal data! Feeling rather uneasy about the whole situation. Seems like a complete scam if you ask me... The woman on the line sounded like she was based in Bolton. Are there any Orange call centres around?

Crikey, how unnerving! I've had a fair few missed calls from this lot, and whenever we ring back, the line just cuts off. This led us to believe there's something dodgy going on, so we turned to this website for some clarity. Honestly, I'm relieved we did because I'll be treating these calls with utter disregard from now on. It feels rather ominous, doesn’t it? Has anyone else experienced similar calls after signing up with Phones4U? I wonder if there’s a connection since I was with Orange before, and ever since we took out this new contract with Phones4U, the calls have been relentless!

I’ve just received a call from these folks for the second time. The first time, we chose not to pick up, but this go-round, when we finally answered, they managed to confirm my mother’s name as the account holder. The thing is, we updated that information ages ago! When we informed them that we’re the new account holders, they abruptly hung up on us. Is there a way to safeguard your personal details from these callers? And are they solely going after Orange customers, or is it a wider net they’re casting?

We received a call from this number claiming to be from Orange, supposedly discussing our recent upgrade. We thought they were just confirming that everything was hunky-dory since we had our upgrade a few weeks back. However, when we brought that up, the caller abruptly hung up on us. Quite peculiar, if you ask me!

I've received a staggering 37 calls from this number within just a day! It's actually my boyfriend's work phone (he's been home-based) and they're claiming they're trying to set up our electricity account. I've explained to them that my boyfriend works from home and we've had the same account for ages, but they just told me to shove off. Then they rang again, claiming to have a conversation with the director, who just so happens to be my boyfriend-currently away in another country and obviously couldn't have talked to them. Things escalated as he began shouting at me and repeating his earlier demands to be left alone... After 33 missed calls, this feels seriously like harassment!

I've received a staggering 15 calls from this number just today. They are incredibly relentless and quite impolite. No matter how often I tell them it’s a scam, they just continue to ring me back.

I've been experiencing the same issue - this exact number has been calling me for the past couple of days. When I try to return the call, it just disconnects. We definitely won’t be answering any calls from them either! It’s quite possible Orange has sold our details, or some dodgy individual is trying to pull a fast one. I’d be keen to find out what’s really going on here!

A few days back, we received a call from this number, and after some time, we finally answered. They spun quite the yarn about an Orange upgrade, but it seemed a bit dodgy. We spoke to a chap who was quite persuasive about getting a new phone and offered a discount on our line. Then, out of the blue, another number rang us up, asking for our date of birth. I can’t believe I was so daft as to give it out! What steps should we take now to protect ourselves?

I recently received a fresh contract proposal from Orange, but it quickly became apparent upon investigation that these individuals were not affiliated with the company at all. I'm now planning to reach out to the police concerning potential breaches of data protection regulations and issues of misrepresentation.

I received a couple of calls from this number earlier today. Interestingly, it was precisely three weeks ago that our Orange contract was nearing its end, and we were aware that upgrades could be arranged through them around this point. It's quite bewildering how someone has managed to obtain information about Orange customers and their upgrade timelines. It really feels like nothing more than a cold-calling scheme to me.

I recently received a call from someone, and when I pointed out that it was likely a scam, the young lady on the other end became rather irate, insisting that I was mistaken before abruptly hanging up. I've also gotten an email from www.aedirect.co.uk, and I can't shake the feeling that it's connected to the same outfit.

I've received countless calls throughout the day, only for the caller to disconnect before I manage to pick up. I suspect they might also be trying to reach me on my mobile. As sole traders, it's possible they’ve sourced our contact details from our website.

Received a call from 01612732600 while we were on the move, but they hung up shortly after just four or five rings. As soon as we pulled over and tried to return the call, an automated message informed us that it was not possible to connect to that number. Quite peculiar, really!

I’ve just received a rather forceful phone call insisting that I provide information to set up my electricity account. I informed the caller that I already have an existing account, but she insisted that she required the information since I’ve recently changed my address. I’m a sole trader who only started my business in February, and I’ve been operating from home! The electricity supply has been consistent for the past two decades. When I mentioned this to her, she questioned why I hadn’t mentioned it sooner. Well, maybe it’s because I’m not keen on disclosing personal information! I told her to leave me alone and stop pestering me. I’ll be curious to see if I receive any further calls.

This number has been trying to get in touch with us several times since we switched to an iPhone. Earlier today, we finally picked up, and a bloke on the other end asked for our name. However, when we asked who was calling, he promptly hung up! We rang Orange to voice our concerns, but they informed us that they couldn’t stop the calls and instead gave us a number-08450700707-to lodge a complaint, in the hopes of blocking that pesky number. I hope this info proves useful to you all!

I received three calls this afternoon. I recently put my number on the internet, linking it to my business with 118, so that’s likely how they’ve obtained my details. I chose not to pick up, and fingers crossed they’ll take a hint and stop calling.

I received a call merely moments ago and decided to look up the number, which led me to this site. I’m quite relieved we didn’t answer, and we certainly won’t be engaging if they try again. I intend to drop a message to Orange to inform them about this scam!

This week, I've had quite a few missed calls from this number. I finally answered this morning, and the callers confirmed my name before claiming they were contacting me about an upgrade with Orange. I mentioned, "I'm not eligible for an upgrade until May. Just a moment, where did you say you were calling from?" They didn’t provide an answer, and before I knew it, the line went dead. Now when I try to call back, I just get a recorded message saying the caller has ended the call. Curious behaviour, if you ask me!

I’ve been getting missed calls from this number every day for the last four days. We tried calling back, but there’s never any response. I was with Orange before but have now switched to another network. To be honest, we won’t be answering if they ring again!

I receive calls from this number about three to four times daily, claiming they're keen to assist with my energy account registration. Working from home, I guess they've mistaken my residence for a business. They're beyond persistent, and I can’t help but be rather brusque in response. Honestly, it’s such a drain on my time!

I received a phone call on my newly acquired business line, and the caller mentioned my name. They claimed they needed to sort out the registration for my energy account, as I had only recently assumed control of the property and inquired about the date I took over. I explained that I operate from home and that the energy accounts were under my husband’s name. The young lady acknowledged my response and promptly ended the call. Quite odd, if you ask me. What struck me was that she never bothered to identify her company either.
