The phone rings, I pick up, and then they just cut the call - straight to blocked and reported with me!

These calls from so called Manchester numbers are just tricks, most likely fake VOIP lines run by some call centres in India. If you get one of these, best to just hang up or give them a good telling off coz they are definitely scammers. Don't bother expecting police in India to step in, they seem pretty uninterested unless there's some money involved. Heard BBC’s Scam Interceptors are on the case, but with hundreds just in Delhi, it’s an uphill battle. Just be careful and block these numbers straight away.

I don’t know anyone from Manchester, so I figured this was probably some sort of scam. The moment I picked up, they hung up straight away. Could be one of those call-back scams, or maybe they use some kind of auto dialler and I wasn’t the first to get through.

Early one Saturday, I got a call on my landline from a lady with an accent I couldn’t place. She asked if I was having a nice day, but I cut her off straight away and told her I wasn’t, since she’d just woken me up. I then asked what exactly she wanted. There was a pause, she sounded a bit flustered, and then she just hung up.

Without a doubt, it's a dodgy operation if they're insisting you install the Anydesk app. They pretended to be from Virgin Media broadband. As soon as you confront them and call out their lies, they hang up abruptly on you. Quite the shady bunch!

Got a call from 0161 524 3238 on Monday 15th Jan 2024 but no voicemail left. Feels dodgy, like it might be a scam or something fishy. If they were legit, they’d probably leave a message out of respect, ya know? Best to just report it and block the number, I reckon.

Had a missed call from 0161 524 3238 on the 15th of January, 2024. They didn’t bother to leave a message, which raises my suspicions about their intentions-could very well be a scam. I reckon that a proper caller would at least take the time to leave a courteous voicemail. I’d suggest reporting this number and then blocking it for good measure.
