This was definitely a scam, they kept saying they had my personal information and tried to scare me.

I really don't understand why so many folks pick up calls from random numbers without a second thought. We never do that ourselves, why get caught up in stuff that's unnecessary? Didn't recognise the number, so didn't bother answering. No message left either, so that was that. Simple as!

Got two calls from this number, no message left. Also got a call from a different 0161 number asking about some debt, sounded like a strong Indian accent. Quite suspicious.

Got five missed calls from this number before I decided to answer. Spoke to the caller for a bit and it felt fishy, like some sort of scam. He was asking for details about debts he claimed he wanted to help with, but he didn’t actually know anything about me or any debts I owe (which I don’t). He sounded a bit threatening, saying some debt collectors would be after me soon. I just ended the call.

Like some folks have mentioned, this number still rings through even though it seems dodgy. They act like they’re from some credit checking company and say they’re contacting you about debts you owe. It definitely feels like a scam, especially since they drop your proper full name to sound more convincing. How many times does this need to happen before they actually do something about it?

I keep getting calls from this number, mostly about 5:30 or quarter to six in the evening, but I never pick up. I looked it up here first, and after reading what others said, I’m definitely not going to answer. It’s a shame the TPS doesn’t stop these nuisance calls.

Got a call from a guy who sounded Indian, said his name was "Sam." He started asking weird questions bout some debt on a credit card that supposedly belongs to me. When I asked him which credit card, he just said it's one from my bank. Then when I wanted to know which bank exactly, he dodged the question and just asked if I owed any money on the card. Felt really fishy, so I’ve blocked the number now.

I just hung up. Bye.
