I keep getting calls about some car accident, but it’s always a different number each time. The voice sounds like the same woman though. Today it was from 020 4520 5703. Strange!

Got a call about my O2 contract needing renewal, but I know Im on a rolling one. When I said Id look into it myself online, they just dropped the call. Totally feels like a scam to me.

They said they were from Carphone Warehouse.

Just got a call from O2, they said my two-year contract's nearly finished. No need to panic, folks.

Loads of calls from numbers like this lately. I picked up once but kept quiet, and they just ended the call almost straight away. Was ready for a bit of fun messing with them, but nope, no luck. Go on, ring me again, I’m all set!

Got a call from someone who knew the last four numbers on my credit card, told me my 'auto contract' was about to expire. Thing is, I don't even have a contract with them!
5 years
Got a call saying my O2 deal had finished, but I didn’t buy it and just hung up. I know O2 always get in touch themselves and mine's a rolling contract anyway. Pretty sure it was a con, so I’ve blocked the number in case they ring again.

Got a call from 0161 5201253 and they just cut me off straight away, so I'd say best to ignore it. I'm sharing this because not long ago I got caught up in credit card fraud around Manchester, which is where this number seems to be based. I reckon these scammers might be using calls like this to record your voice and then somehow use it to hack into your accounts. Be careful!

Got a ring from this number, so I tried ringing back, but it just switched me over to some dodgy automated American scam thing.

Absolute nuisance! I reckon it’d be funny to grab a whistle and give it a good blow every time they hang up. That’d teach ’em.

Received a mobile call from this number today, the 2nd of November, 2021, at precisely 3:56 in the afternoon. I chose not to pick it up.

I got a call saying it was from O2, but the weird thing is I already had a call earlier today from another number claiming the same. Proper annoying!

Didnt pick up cause I didnt recognise the number. They left no voicemail or anything.

Just got a call pretending to be from my mobile provider, saying it was time to renew my contract. Luckily I was suspicious and didn't give any info. Seems like a classic contract renewal scam going around. Watch out!

Picked up the phone, but there was dead silence on the other end - feels like some kind of scam to me. Honestly, it's just pointless to bother with. Best to just ignore it!

This number just won’t stop ringing my mobile, it’s really getting on my nerves.

Got a call from this number today around 10.52, but since I don't know anyone from Manchester I just ignored it. No voicemail was left, which made me suspicious. After seeing other people's experiences, I’m pretty sure it’s a scam, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked it.

I usually ignore calls from unfamiliar numbers, but lately I’ve been getting loads from 0161. Since they never leave any messages, I’m guessing it’s just more spam, so I’ve begun blocking them all. It’s pretty annoying! 😒

Got a silent call on my phone around 5.30pm. I usually don’t pick up calls from unknown numbers but I was waiting for a call from a local company (I’m in the 061 520 region). After seeing what people have said here, I’ve decided to block the number.

Got a call from a number I don’t recognise. If they didn’t bother to drop a message, I’m not wasting my time picking up. Feels like a scam to me.

Got a number ringing me over and over again, kept insisting on staying anonymous. As soon as I told them I was recording, they just hung straight up. Blocked the number now.

Was offered a “better” sim deal, but as soon as I mentioned I’d just renewed with my current provider, the bloke just said goodbye and hung up. The deal they wanted me to switch to was actually £8 dearer than what I’m already paying. Total scam if you ask me!

Got about 12 calls back to back, bit suspect like it got caught in some kinda loop. After a long day working, I really don’t wanna be bothered by some random number. Tried TPS but feels like a complete waste of time.

Got a call from a number I don't know, I just let it ring out. I’m not sure who it was exactly, but another person was looking at it with me, so maybe it's spam or something.

There was a guy with an Asian accent calling me, but when I asked him for my personal info, he couldn't give me much. All he managed to tell me was the surname and an address. I kept pressing him, thinking if he really knew who lived there, he should've answered my straightforward questions. I warned him that if I looked up his number online, it’d likely say ‘scam’! Honestly, people, don’t just let these jokers brush you off - demand loads of your personal info from them. If they can't supply it, then they probably don’t have your proper details like legitimate companies do.

I didn’t pick up, no clue who that is. Definitely not a number I recognise. Seeing all the recent lookups here makes me think it’s just one of those spam calls.

They didn’t say a word, just quiet on the line and out of nowhere, they dropped the call. I’m thinking it might be time we stop giving our numbers out and try ringing these people back ourselves.

They tried to convince me they could reduce my phone bill to just £10 a month. Once I told them I wasn’t interested and that it sounded dodgy, they just ended the call.

Got a call from 0161 520 1253 but when I picked up, there was just silence. No one on the other end at all.

Not got a clue who this could be, but they've rang me at least 5 times today.

They called saying if I had an O2 account, they could lower my bill to ten quid a month. I told them I don't even have O2. Then they said "oh, sorry" and I blocked the number straight away.

Got a call at about 6:30 in the evening on the 27th of August 2021. I just ignored it since I don’t recognise the number. They didn’t bother leaving a voicemail either, so I’m pretty sure it was just some spam call.
