Total rip off!

They kept ringing but everytime I answered, no one was there. Been going on non-stop all day and night!

Kept ringing my phone loads of times, but whenever I picked up, the caller ended the call straight away. When I finally got through and had a word, it was a young bloke with an accent from the Indian subcontinent. He claimed to be from Citizens Advice and started asking about some debt I supposedly owed. I told him I wasn’t interested, and he just cut me off. Felt really shady. I’ve blocked the number and reported it now.

Every time I pick up, the caller just ends the call straight away. They ring me every day, so I've put them on my block list.

Didn't want to pick up.

I got a call from a company claiming to be StepChange Debt Charity, but it’s a total scam. StepChange never ring up folks offering debt help like that, so be careful out there.

Just got a call from this number, and they were trying to reach whoever had my number before me. I get loads of calls and texts every day from different people. When I asked who it was, they just dropped the call straight away. Such a pain!

They tried to pass off as a real debt company, but it was obviously a scam.

Didn’t pick up at all. Checked the reviews but this definitely isn’t Stepchange since I’m already a client and their phone starts with 0300. I just blocked the number because they were calling like 3 or 4 times daily. Proper annoying and feels like harassment.

They call every single day from loads of different numbers, saying they're from Stepchange but can't even speak proper English. Definitely a scam. I’d just ignore and keep blocking them.

Totally a scam, don’t trust it!

They keep ringing me every day, claiming it’s about some debt. Definitely a scam - I just don’t pick up.

Got calls from someone saying they were with Step Change Debt Charity, but the accent was really thick, and the name was oddly British, which seemed off. They kept ringing me loads of times a day. I reached out to Step Change for a heads-up that scammers are pretending to be them. If you get calls like this, just block the number straight away.

So I keep getting calls from this number saying it's StepChange or something. Thing is, I'm already with the legit StepChange and my DMP is all sorted out, no new contact from me at all. Pretty sure this isn't the real deal because they ring me like constantly, several times daily. It's driving me mad!

I tried calling back but the phone just won’t ring through. Looks like my number’s getting blocked or something. Better not pick up next time!

Loads of times this number has rung me but I usually just let it go to voicemail. Today I picked up thinking it might be a call I was waiting for from some company. The person said they were from Stepchange Debt Charity about a question I supposedly made. When I told them I hadn’t reached out to Stepchange lately, they just hung up straight away.

Got a call that supposedly was from Stepchange, but I’m pretty certain it wasn’t. The noise in the background was ridiculous. The first time they rang, they just ended the call straight away. When they called again, they got really awkward when I asked who they were and then just cut me off.

They keep ringing me over and over again.

Picked up the phone and someone said they were from a counselling group. Heard loads of noise and people talking in the back, so I just ended the call.
