I’m adding my report to the growing list of people who’ve had these scam calls. It’s important to keep sharing info so others don’t fall for these dodgy schemes. Best bet is to block the number straight away, block any similar ones you notice, and let your phone provider know. Fingers crossed they take proper action and stop these scammers from ripping off more folks.

caller silent when answered, now blocked

My phone showed a silent ring from this number and Android flagged it as possible spam. There wasnt any voice or recorded message when I answered. So, I just blocked the call and marked it as spam through the phone.

Couple here just wanted to share how to actually report scams, even those quiet, silent calls. Just blocking the number only stops calls from reaching your own phone, but it doesn’t stop these fraudsters from ringing up others who might not be as careful. It’s important to report so these scammers can be dealt with, not just blocked on our devices.

Got a phone call about my car, but the person wouldn’t identify themselves at all. Felt like a total scam to me.

Got a call from 0161 526 8801 at about 2.16pm on 30th Jan 26. It showed up as UNKNOWN CALLER, and it went straight to voicemail but they didn’t leave anything. Feels like it was probably some sort of spam, so I went ahead and blocked the number.

No need to stress, it was just some charming call centre scammer having a go at nicking my cash. Funny how a “James” from India (or maybe Pakistan) can have such a strong accent - proper full-on Indian twang! Honestly, it’s kinda nice to hear, makes me smile every time. Of course, they’re just after your dosh to splash on things we could never afford, then flaunt it online, bless 'em. (By the way, do people even wear socks there?!)

Got a call from someone with a really thick Asian accent, insisting his name was 'Jonathan' or something like that. He claimed to be from a firm sorting out mis-sold PCP insurance and said they got my details coz I supposedly took finance in the past five years. Thing is, I paid for my car in full seven years ago at a used car dealership! I told him straight up that I wasn't interested and that I'd be reporting the number. After that, they just hung up.

I've had calls from these scammers before and they never even bother to pick up when I answer. Really annoying and I'm sick of it.

Picked up the phone but no one said a word and then the line just went dead. Sounds like it's from one of those call centres.

None of the people I know just brushed it off; instead, they all checked the number on here.

Picked up the phone and the line just went silent, no idea who was calling.

My phone flagged an unknown number as potential spam, so I just ignored the call and didn’t pick up.
