Someone rang claiming to be from the FCA, saying I had a bitcoin account with them. They gave me a couple of choices and asked what I wanted to do. I just told them to get lost, hung up straight away, and then blocked the number.

Got a call from someone saying it was from blockchain, you could hear a whole busy call centre going on in the background. It was definitely a spam call. When they asked for someone else, I just acted clueless and they ended up saying sorry and then hung up. Gotta say, even if they were scammers, they were fairly polite about it.

What a scam! I blocked one number, but they keep ringing me from like six other different numbers. It's so annoying!

Sounds like today was my lucky break! Someone rang up claiming I’ve got £2800 hidden away in a bank account I never even knew about. They got ridiculously excited when I said I’d give them my bank info. Instead, I just made up some random digits, which they quickly said weren’t right. Then I asked if they could just send me a cheque instead, and that’s when the guy - with an accent - started cussing and slammed the phone down! Quite a clumsy scam, honestly, but I’m sure some folks who aren’t paying attention might get tricked. Definitely block this number!

Got a call from someone claiming I had cash stuck in a frozen Bitcoin account and they wanted my bank info to send it over. Voice sounded Indian, and when I questioned him, he kept parroting the same lines like he was reading from a script. I told him I don’t even own any Bitcoin wallet and that I’d report him to the cops, then he abruptly ended the call. This number is definitely tied to scams pretending to be from financial agencies. Best advice? Just ignore and hang up straight away.

I got a call from someone saying they were with the Financial Conduct Authority. They told me I have a Bitcoin wallet that hasn't been used in ages and apparently has over £2000 in it. Then they asked me where I want the money sent.
