7 daysGot a call claiming my number was going to expire, totally a scam 😂10 daysGot a call from a woman with a strong foreign accent who said she was calling from Vodafone. She warned my phone number was about to expire in a couple days. Asked me what my last bill amount was, but I just said I had no clue. She kept trying to get me to sign up for a new contract. I told her I was tied up with work and to ring me the next day. She didn’t seem too pleased about that. After seeing what others have said here, I’m all set for her return!Vodafone11 daysSomeone called me claiming to be from Vodafone. When I said I’d rather visit the shop to clear things up, they got all defensive and hung up on me. Definitely felt like a scam!Vodafone11 daysMy daughter got a spam call on her mobile.1 monthGot a call offering a new SIM with a 40% off deal on three lines. Definitely sounded fishy to me, made me think it was a scam.1 monthSomebody called saying they were from Vodafone Three or whatever, not trying to sell me stuff but wanted to give me a discount on my account. Problem is, I’m not even a customer. Kept pushing me for my email, which I figured would give away who I actually use for my phone. Bit fishy if you ask me.Vodafone Three2 monthsI got a call from a lady who kept going on about Three and Vodafone joining forces, saying if I just gave her my email, they'd send me a new SIM the next day with a 40% discount on my bill. I told her straight up I wasn’t comfortable giving out personal details. She kept pushing, but I stood my ground and said no again. Eventually, she just ended the call.ThreeVodafone2 monthsGot a call from someone talking nonsense about SIM cards and some weird offer. Couldn't make out what they were saying because of the accent, so I just ended the call. Pretty sure the lady mentioned 'EE' or something, but I don't even use EE!2 monthsI never pick up calls I don’t expect, but they keep ringing anyway.2 monthsGot a dodgy call from someone called ‘Frank’ supposedly from EE, saying I’m a “loyal customer who always pays on time” and that I was picked by some manager to get cheaper bills. Total nonsense, EE would never do that. To get the discount, this Frank bloke asked me to confirm my personal info but couldn’t even tell me when my contract ends or any real details. I’m definitely switching my iPhone back to block unknown numbers and spam right away.FrankEE2 monthsOn the 10th of July 2026, I got a call from 0161 850 2871 on my mobile. They left a voicemail that lasted about two minutes, but nobody said a word - all I could hear was the noise of what sounded like an Indian call centre. I’m really glad I didn’t pick up. After checking out some reviews and seeing loads of bad feedback, it’s pretty clear these are just scammers trying their luck.2 monthsFirst they wanted to know if I had an EE account, then suddenly they started asking about two different providers. Proper annoying lot. Got three calls from them in just five minutes, so I’ve blocked the number and reported it. Definitely steer well clear of these.EE2 monthsI didn’t pick up, but wanted to say this number definitely hasn’t been disconnected.2 monthsMy dad got caught out with a scammer who somehow got hold of his Sky info and placed orders for phones and a MacBook. Thankfully, Sky helped us sort everything out in the end. Just a heads up, never pick up calls like that because Sky don’t do cold calls trying to sell more stuff.Sky2 monthsBlocked again, same story - no message left. If you keep ringing, I’ll just keep putting you straight on the block.2 monthsGot a call from someone saying they were Sky, trying to sell me a 40% discount. They wanted my email, but I wasn’t giving it out. They said they needed it to confirm the offer, but I told them Sky already has my email. Then, they just ended the call. Tried calling back but the number won’t accept incoming calls.Sky3 monthsGot a call from this number today, 26th June 2018, but couldn’t pick up coz I was busy at work. Checked online afterwards and glad I left it, looks like they’re still up to no good!3 monthsI reckon it's one of those phishing scams. They claimed I'd nab a 40% discount with my provider, but the email and link looked really sketchy to me.3 monthsGot a call about some broadband deal, sounded fishy to me. Pretty sure it was a scam. Wouldn’t trust that kind of call at all.3 monthsMy SIM card started showing an E and the caller just wouldn't shut up, kept ringing non stop.4 monthsCalled but went to voicemail, didn't want to leave a message.6 monthsI missed the call and when I checked the voicemail all I could hear was someone just breathing for like 5 seconds. Very strange.7 monthsMy iPhone blocked the call so they never got through to me and there was no voicemail left either.7 monthsThey keep ringing me up nonstop, and it’s pretty obvious I didn’t ask for it.7 monthsThese folks from scunthorpe are total scammers, bothering me non stop trying to make me switch my internet over to them. They called me even while I was going to the loo! They asked for my bank info and email, which was weird enough. Then they started making sick threats about digging up my granny and doing awful things to her body. They even said they'd yank my gold teeth out and weigh 'em. Proper nightmare.7 monthsThese folks are absolute muppets, maybe even linked to some dodgy militant group. They wanted to con me out of my pension, but when I said no, they started threatening to break into my home, tie me down, and do god knows what with their drugged-up goats (sounds mad, but apparently the old Taliban lot keep a bunch of them around with their flip flops). Now I'm too scared to step outside. They keep calling non-stop and just won’t leave me alone. Proper bunch of tossers.Taliban7 monthsI had a call from someone who was really difficult to follow, trying to pitch some sort of discount but never actually said for what. Honestly, it felt like a total scam. They claimed to be calling from Manchester, England, but it definitely sounded like someone from India. I could barely make out what they were saying. I’m sure they’re just fishing for your bank info, so I’ve blocked the number straight away.ManchesterEnglandIndiaSubmit Your Own Report (0161 850 2871)
