Got a call really early, around half past seven, from someone saying they're from Microsoft. Totally a scam, obviously.

I received a phone call from a woman who had quite a pronounced foreign accent. She mentioned she was reaching out regarding UK Benefits, but I struggled to grasp what she was saying. In the end, I decided to hang up.

Dodgy call from 01689 840 750! They were saying there'd been an attempt to scam my bank card or summat. Total scam alert!

It’s horrible how these scammers just ignore you when you call back, can’t believe this kind of rubbish still goes on nowadays. Seriously, something really needs to be done to put a stop to it all! Proper disgrace. 🤬🤬🤬

My grandma, who is 93, got a call saying her internet would be disconnected in a day unless she pressed 1 to chat with someone. Really not what someone her age needs to deal with!

My work phone got a few calls from this number. When I tried to ring back, it just went straight to a dead line. Seems like a spam call to me! I've gone ahead and blocked it now.

Got a call from a guy who sounded Asian and even knew my last name. He said it was about some issue with my house. I only picked up because I was expecting a phone call from my doctor. Since I’m on the TPS, this was really frustrating! I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.

They just said hi, stayed quiet and then quickly ended the call. Obviously they reckon they can get away with it. This is my third random call today and it's not even 2 in the afternoon yet!

Got a call from a number I didn’t know, this lady with an Asian accent asked if I was (insert name) - I just blocked them straight away. Proper fed up with these idiots.

I get a call almost daily from some strange foreign voice claiming to be from "UK Benefits" or something similar. I try to block each number, but they always ring from a new one that looks like a UK number. It’s so annoying! Why isn’t there a way to stop these annoying calls once and for all?

Got a call from some bloke who knew my name, so I asked who it was. Instead of answering, he started shouting rude stuff in Hindi and then just ended the call. Proper rude, just block and forget about it!

I got a call from someone saying they were from BT, telling me my internet was at risk and that they'd cut off my service if I didn’t act fast. They never showed any real evidence to back up their claim and just quit after a bit. This kind of trick is pretty usual these days.

They ring me a minimum of twice daily, always about benefits UK, with people that sound like they’re not from here. It’s well annoying now. Even when I tell them to stop and delete my info, they just keep on. I even got blunt with them but that didn’t help one bit. Now, the calls from this number are just silent.

Got a call from this number right at noon today. My phone never actually rang, and I got no voicemail either, so I'm guessing Call Protect already blocked it. Since I don't know anyone from Orpington or anywhere in Kent, I’m pretty sure it’s just one of those scam calls that have been going around lately.

I answered the call but the person hung up immediately. When I rang back, a woman answered and asked if I thought I had just called her. She told me it was a scam and mentioned that BT had already been notified.

Got two calls from this number, one on Wednesday they just dropped the call suddenly. Then on Thursday, they asked me for my number, I told them they already got it, and then they just ended the call. Strange behaviour.

Got two calls from this number earlier, both times no one spoke when I picked up. It's really frustrating as I'm expecting a call from a hospital with the same area code.
