Got a call today from 01616969126. They told my husband he’d reached out back in February asking to be removed from their list, which he definitely never did. Then they threatened to send unpaid bills for £199. My husband was like, hold on a minute, what invoices? And then they just hung up on him.

Somebody rang up saying they were from Crime Prevention Awareness, pushing that I owed cash for ads I'd supposedly taken out before. I've done adverts ages ago in local community mags, so maybe they got hold of some kind of ad list? The whole thing felt really pushy and kinda intimidating, like they were threatening me or something.

Someone told me they were with CPA, like Crime Prevention Awareness or something. They said I owed money for some old ads. I’ve done adverts before in local charity magazines, so I reckon they might be fishing info from some kind of ad list. Honestly, they came across really pushy and a bit menacing.

I got a call from someone claiming our firm had an ad in some crime prevention mag. They said they tried contacting us over the summer. When I mentioned I didn’t remember any of that, they quickly cut the call and hung up on me. Totally feels like a scam to me.

Got a call today from someone claiming we had discussed advertising earlier this year, but I don’t recall any such call. I ended up hanging up straight away. Sounds like a definite scam to me, be careful!

Just received a call from 0161 696 9126 saying they were from some crime prevention magazine and claimed I’d put an ad with them. I asked a few questions and the woman just ended the call on me. Watch out, this seems like a scam.

Definitely a scam, I wouldn’t trust it - just block the number.

I got a call from a bloke named Simon who said he was with some crime prevention mag and that I’d placed an advert there. I told him straight up I haven’t got any ad with them, but he kept on saying I’d talked to them back in April and that the call was recorded. I told him he’s got the wrong end of the stick and I’ve never chatted to anyone called Simon before. He said he’d go listen to the recordings to prove it. Well, he can listen all he wants, but I’m certain I have zero connection with these people.

Got a call from this number too, usual nonsense with some dodgy ads and them trying to scare you. Also noticed they ring from 01616969125 sometimes. First, some bloke called Simon rings, then they switch you over to Ella from the 'accounts department', who sounds proper pushy.

Got a call from 0161 696 9126 claiming I’d said yes to an advert spot and owed them a hundred quid. I knew I hadn’t agreed on anything, but for some reason I started talking to this rude person on the phone before I realised what was happening! Just block the number and don't bother talking to them at all.

I got a call from some advertising company trying to bill me a hundred quid for stuff I never asked for. They claim I signed up ages ago, but honestly, I’d never agree to that - I’m not daft with my money, especially when it’s for magazines I’ve never even come across before!

Watch out for the so-called Google my business offer - they nearly charged me £280 for something that’s supposed to be free! Total scam if you ask me.
