Got a call from some bloke claiming he was calling 'for the UK government about an Energy review.' He said if I gave him my info, I'd be able to get a free heating system. Right, sure thing! Blocked him straight away. Total scam.

This number has kept calling me loads the past couple of weeks. I’ve just ignored every call. They never bother leaving a voicemail either. Seriously, if you do pick up, don’t say a word first. Better yet, don’t say anything at all to these types, cause they’re after a soundbite of your voice.

Tried calling me earlier but I missed it, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked that number now.

Got a call from this number earlier on 25/11/12, was just them trying to sell something.

I received a rather suspicious call from this number earlier. They claimed to be from the housing welfare department and inquired if I was facing any issues with my accommodation. Given that I privately rent my place in Leeds, I have serious doubts about the authenticity of this call. It's likely a scam!

I picked up my phone, but all I got was silence; no one bothered to leave a message, unfortunately. 😕

I've gotten calls from this number a few times, but they switch up the last few digits. Just a heads up, they've used numbers ending in 642 and 436 as well. Be careful if you see anything similar!

They just cut the call off, so I'm guessing it was some sort of scammer trying their luck.

They've ringed me a few times but I never pick up when I don’t know the number. Plus, I don't know anyone in Manchester at all. Pretty sure it's a scam.

This bloke said he was from some sort of energy review board, but he spoke with a heavy Asian accent and was quite rude when I kept asking what company he was with.

It seems I'm getting bombarded with calls from this number, several times throughout the day. Each time I pick up, they hang up straight away. I'm starting to think this might be some sort of scam operation.

I had a rather peculiar phone call from this number, asking if I have solar panels installed on my property. The person on the line mentioned that their manager would get in touch later with further details. It felt a bit off, to be honest, so I decided to block the number. Better safe than sorry!

Someone left this number on a work computer after their account got hacked - the username was changed to ‘CALL 0161 768 0051’ and the password was something unknown. Unfortunately, the user did ring the number and ended up sharing their bank info in hopes of getting the PC sorted. Luckily, their bank spotted the fraud and stopped the transaction. Watch out for this one! They’re using this as their caller ID too - should be possible to track them down, I reckon.

Got a call from 01617680051, bloke with a foreign accent spoke really fast and claimed I had a contract with them and owed £299. I tried to jot down what was said, but it was hard to catch it all. Never had any contract with those lot!

I got a call from 01612980131 claiming to be from Anytech365 about a refund. I felt a bit iffy since I already got my refund, so I ended the call quick. They gave me the number above to call back. Seems like this number is tagged as risky too. Not sure if it's legit or a scam.

James Watson here - tried to con me out of cash pretending it was about a refund from Anytech 365. Total scam.

Got a call from someone overseas who was talking so quickly I could hardly follow what he was saying. He insisted I needed to renew some contract I have no clue about and wanted me to pay £299 for it. Very confusing and frustrating!
