Got a call from this number, they said they were from Amazon. They told me there was a weird £1069 payment on my account and said it looked suspicious since I haven’t shopped there before. I just ended the call straight away.

Got a robo call saying my number was involved in some crime stuff and to hit 1 or 2 to chat with someone from BT. I just ended the call and then another random number got BLOCKED!!!

When I didn’t pick up, their call was picked up by my voicemail straight away. They didn’t leave any message though, which makes me think it’s one of those call scanners. So I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.

Got a call from someone claiming to be Virgin Media, said my internet wasn’t working right. They wanted to send an engineer over to check my router. Bit fishy if you ask me.

Got a call out of the blue telling me there’s been some suspicious activity on my bank account. Apparently, there’s a £300 transaction from Amazon plus another one for £1200 from a different place. They asked me to press 1 if I want to cancel it or 2 to talk to someone about it. Sounded fishy to me!

Got an automated call claiming to be from my bank’s security team, but never mentioned which bank. Sounded just like another scam I saw about some Amazon payment and transfer. I’ve had these before so I didn’t bother, just hung up straight away.

Got a call from 01614834938 but there was nothing on the other end, just silence. Seems dodgy, might be one of those scams.

Got a robo call claiming to be from my bank’s security team, didn’t even mention which bank, telling me there was dodgy activity on my account. Said Amazon had taken £300 and a £1000 overseas transfer had gone through, and to press 1 to speak with someone about it. They also said my card hadn’t been used with these places before, which is rubbish since I always buy from Amazon. I quickly logged into my online banking and saw nothing suspicious, but I pretty much knew it was a scam anyway. Just ignored them and let the call drop after a bit.

Twice in just a couple of days, I got calls from this scam, all about some supposed telephone refund. When I told the caller to buzz off and scam someone else, they actually swore at me! Proper cheeky and rude!

So this bloke called my 97-year-old grandad saying his BT internet was being used in some dodgy way. I look after him, and I knew straight away it was a con because he’s actually on Virgin Media! I just let the message keep going on for ages to mess with their time.

Got a call from a bloke with a London/South East accent saying my BT internet was involved in some dodgy business and that it was an offence on my part. He asked me to hit '1' to chat with a BT rep. But I don’t even have BT, so it was pretty clear it was a scam trying to catch me out.

Got a call the other day from a woman with an Asian accent, then today it was a man, also sounding Asian. They said they were from Virgin Media, claiming some 6 extra devices were freeloading off my internet. They tried to get me to open AnyDesk, so I just kept them chatting for a good 15 minutes, pretending like I was following along. Suddenly my screen went black, made me think they’d really got control. Figured I’d just waste their time - no way I was falling for that. Proper scammers, no doubt.

Got a robo call claiming to be from some bank's security dept warning me my card was being used fraudulently. They rattled off a few "examples" to sound legit and told me to either cancel the card right then (by pressing a number I don’t even recall) or call them back. Total rubbish. When my bank spots anything fishy, they always ring me directly and confirm my identity before saying anything at all. This was definitely a scam.

My elderly mum got called by this number four times, they kept pestering her and even said she was rude for not picking up because they claim they want to help. It upset her so much she ended up crying. I told her to just ignore the calls because it’s definitely a scam. Honestly, it’s just terrible that they’re doing this!

Got a call from a woman claiming there was a problem with my licence and that it was about to be revoked. The connection was terrible, so it was hard to catch everything she said. When I mentioned I’d ask a tech guy I know for help, she replied saying that wouldn’t make any difference and the licence would still be cancelled. I don’t even have Microsoft on my PC anymore, it’s been wiped off ages ago, which made the whole thing feel really odd. Honestly, it just left me a bit baffled and I ended up hanging up.

Got a voicemail from some bank, didn’t say which one though. They claimed Amazon put £300 into my account and that £1,000 was transferred out today. I keep detailed records so I knew straight away it was dodgy. I just pressed 1 to get rid of the call. Checked with my bank and there’s no trace of any transactions. This sort of thing is really scary, especially for older folks who might not be so alert.

This number has called me quite a few times. The most recent was this morning, 17/05/2024 around 10:28. An asian lady with a hard-to-understand accent claimed she was from BT customer service. She said lots of people were getting into my computer and asked me to log into Google so she could fix it. Sounds fishy to me!

I got a call from some bloke with a thick Asian accent saying he worked for the phone refund team and that I had £220 owed to me. When I asked a few questions and wouldn’t share my bank details, he got proper rude. I thought I had call blocking set up, so how come these annoying calls still get through?

Honestly, my advice is just to ignore the call completely. Don’t say a word, just hang up straight away and if you can, block the number. It’s definitely a scam and could be risky. BT really ought to do something about letting these numbers be active, it’s quite disgraceful.

I got a call from someone saying they were from the "UK Call Blocking Service," but I can't find any company by that name anywhere. It came across as really dodgy to me.
