Today, I spotted a missed call from 01618203779 on my mobile. Even though I’m signed up with the TPS to block these sorts of calls, they keep coming through. We’ve also made sure our home phone isn’t listed in any directory to keep it private, but these scam calls still get through somehow.

Today I noticed I had two calls showing from 0161 820 3779 on my phone, both missed and no message left. Seems best to just block this number now.

I didn’t answer because the number was unfamiliar, had a look here and it’s obviously a scam. So I’ve gone ahead and blocked it now.

Got a call from someone saying they were with O2, telling me I was a top-notch customer who always paid on time and could get a free iPhone. They said they’d send me an email to confirm everything and post the paperwork out. I just said “sounds good, go ahead” and ended the call. Didn’t give them any info because I knew it was dodgy - plus I’m not even an O2 customer. They’ve tried ringing me three more times since then, but I’ve blocked the number ‘cause it’s becoming a right pain.

Picked up no answer this time, but they’ve rung me loads before trying to sell some ‘special’ discount on my O2 plan. Definitely sounds like a scam.

This number called me a couple of times today. I usually don't pick up if I don't recognise the number. Lately, I've been getting loads of calls from Manchester, so I've started blocking those numbers straight away.

My mobile instinctively flagged that number as a potential scam and promptly barred it from getting through.

I've received a call from 01618203779, and the chap had quite a thick Indian accent, claiming to represent some 'auto network'. It took me ages to grasp where he was ringing from, and after a few attempts, I managed to zone in on the topic of diesel vehicles. When I asked if he was discussing diesel cars, he confirmed it. I straightaway told him we’ve never owned a diesel car and that I suspected he was up to no good. He promptly ended the call! Quite suspicious, indeed!

Somebody rang up saying they could slash my o2 bills by half, which sounded fishy right from the start - why would o2 just do that out of the blue? I ended the call, but they were persistent and phoned me back, insisting they weren’t scammers. They even claimed they could prove it since they supposedly had all my info in front of them. Don’t be fooled though, it’s not hard for them to grab some basic details, so just don’t bother with it.

Scam alert! They pretended to be from Virgin Media saying they could lower my bill, but I don’t even have Virgin Media. Didn’t waste my time with them.

Got a call from an Asian lady trying to tell me she could cut my O2 bill in half. Problem is, I don’t even have O2, never signed up with them. Pretty clear it’s a scam.

Totally a scam, beware!

So, I keep getting calls from what seems like Virgin Media or O2, probably trying to lower my monthly charges. They always ring from different numbers but it's obviously O2. I just hang up every time because it's so frustrating!

I received a rather dubious call from a woman who claimed to represent my mobile network provider. However, her tone lacked any credibility, and to top it off, she seemed completely unaware of the name of the provider I use. Quite baffling, really!

The moment scammers call, they usually just drop the line quickly. Never share any one-time codes they might ask for, it’s definitely a trap.

Totally a scam, they just send random info in those texts.

I got a call from a lady with an Indian accent saying she was from my phone company, but she didn’t even have the right provider. Once I told her she was getting it wrong, she just hung up on me. Definitely a scam!
