I honestly fell for their call at first, which was a big mistake. Thankfully, I caught it just in time and stopped them from ordering a couple of phones on my 02 account. Don’t pick up if they ring you. They called me again this morning as well. I’ve never been one to judge others, but these people are starting to really annoy me. If anyone says they're your phone company, don’t give them any info.

Got a call from someone saying they were from O2, telling me I had to renew my contract soon. Thing is, I still got a year left! The bloke on the phone sounded Indian. O2 themselves say just block these calls and never take upgrades from random cold callers. Always sort your contract stuff through the legit O2 website or app.

Really happy I looked it up here first before picking up.

Got a call from Sandip in India claiming I owe him 50 onion bhajis and a naan. I joked that I'd order it through Just Eat and cover a bit of the delivery cost, but he wasn’t having any of it 😂

Got a call from some call centre, sounded like it was in India but coming through Manchester. They said it was about my debts, and weirdly they knew my Facebook name, so I guess they found me through that. No idea how they even got my phone number. The caller was super pushy, and when I hinted that I thought it was a scam, he acted like he didn’t get what I was saying at all. I reckon if I’d kept chatting, they’d have tried to get my bank info under the pretense of seeing what I could pay off. Definitely dodgy.

Got a call from some debt management firm, sounded a bit dodgy to me. Anyone else got calls from these guys before? Feels like it could be a scam... just not sure.

I reckon they must be pulling details from clearscore[###]. Really, this should be banned!

I just had a call from someone named Sanji, said they were from National Debt Line. I ended up blocking the number right away.

I tried calling back but those debt scammers just ignore the calls. I've gone ahead and blocked the number now.

The phone rang from a number I didn’t know, so I just let it go. Pretty glad I didn’t pick up, actually.

This bloke sounded quite odd, kept saying he’d send me a text. I kept asking why he was ringin’ me up in the first place. I usually just tell these firms I’m underage so they stop calling. When I mentioned that, he said he was 18 and still going to text me. Honestly, best not to pick up.

I got a call from someone saying her name was “Fiona” who said she had some good news about an “unsecured debt” I supposedly owe - which is totally not true. She was really pushy and wouldn’t say what company she was with. When I asked to speak to her supervisor, she just hung up on me. Lately, I keep getting calls from debt scam companies like this one, and none of them can explain how they even got my number. I’d say just ignore them completely.

Got a call claiming I owed unsecured debts, which I found pretty suspicious. Feels like they just dial through loads of numbers hoping someone owes them money. When I asked where they’d got my details, the guy said it was from a ‘debtors’ forum’ - seems like a load of rubbish to me. Told them to take me off their list straight away.

Total scam! These types are just after your cash, vultures really.

I've got two calls from these people already. The bloke on the line was barely understandable, muttering something about a government supported plan to clear unsecured debts - which I don't have at all. When I mentioned GDPR, he abruptly ended the call.
