This number just called, saying they were from EE and had a deal on an iPhone. Seemed a bit fishy to me.

I’ve received about 5 calls, each from different Manchester numbers. Some of them were 0161 540 2397, 0161 589 5873, 0161 511 1016, 0161 514 4818 and 0161 536 0146. It’s a bit annoying!

Looks like one of those HMRE scams to me.

Got a call that I just ignored right away cos it sounded dodgy. Later, I checked the voicemail from some robot message and yep, it was one of those scammy threats saying they’d issue a warrant if I didn’t get back to them. Honestly, it’s pretty pathetic they reckon that kinda bluff will actually scare people.

This number, 0161 524 0297, caused me loads of stress and left me feeling really unwell from worry. They claimed someone would come to arrest me within two hours. When my husband rang them back to explain how distressed I was, he asked if they were from HMRC, then they just cut the call.
