I've had calls from at least five separate numbers starting with 061. I've ended up blocking them all since it's just pure harassment. If I were you, I wouldn't pick up and just block any 061 calls straight away.

I chose not to pick up. This was the first time I've ever got a voicemail from a scam call. The message was just completely silent. Looks like they've come up with a new tactic clearly.

I picked up the phone since it was an 0161 number, and I've been dealing with a few John Lewis contacts that share the same area code. Just a fluke occurrence, or is there something more to it?

I got a call saying I'd been in a car accident, but honestly, I had no idea there was any crash or anything. Really confused me!

Got a call saying I could upgrade my phone, but I’m on pay as you go, no contract at all. Then, she rang me back just a few minutes later, telling me I had to listen to her and that I really should get the upgrade. Felt like a total scam!

Some bloke rang me claiming I was due a tax rebate and wanted my bank info. I said it sounded like a scam, and then he suddenly got really angry, threatening he knew my address. I quickly ended the call.

I've just had an unexpected and rather intrusive phone call from this number. The caller insisted he had been told I had recently been in a car accident that was not my doing. How absurd! I don’t even own a car!

On the 20th of May 2022, I received a call on my mobile from 0161 520 2278, but when I picked up, there was silence on the other end. Judging by the previous feedback, it seems to be yet another dodgy nuisance call. Honestly, Ofcom needs to take some action and put a stop to these persistent pests, as they just create unnecessary stress for us everyday phone users!

Claimed to be a company dealing in mobile phones.

I got a call from a woman who sounded either Serbian or Croatian, talking about some stocks or investments. I didn't really pay much attention, but I'm pretty sure it was a scam trying to rip me off financially.

So apparently I’ve been dodging my taxes or something, if you believe these clowns at HMRC? They sounded proper desperate when I called them out for being total scammers. After that, they just stopped picking up when I tried to ring them back. Honestly, don't bother answering calls like this!

Got a random call saying I'd been part of a car crash that supposedly wasn’t my fault. Seriously, with this kind of nonsense, no surprise insurance costs are sky high! I haven’t had any accident, and I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number.

I received a call on my mobile, but as soon as I picked up, the line went dead. Quite peculiar!
