Got a voicemail saying Amazon had taken £300 from my card and Western Union took £1100, then they wanted me to ring back. No way! Turned out it was a fake number, coming from India apparently. Total scammers for sure. Watch out!

If some number I don't recognise rings me and they start with just a first name, I don’t even bother answering. This lot called again recently - wouldn’t say the name of their company and just hung up on me. Pretty sure they’ve tried us before.

Got a call pretty early today from a woman with an Indian accent saying my SKY internet was having some slowdowns. Funny enough, I had noticed it buffering a bit recently. She claimed she could help fix the problem and asked if I had a laptop ready to log in. I told her she’d caught me in bed and asked if she could ring me back at a better time. After that, I looked the number up here, blocked it straight away and flagged it with 7726.

Got a call from 01698282570 today just after 9 in the morning. Saw the number pop up on my phone and had a feeling it might be dodgy, so I decided to leave it unanswered.

This number (01698282570) keeps calling me, mostly sometime around 9 to 9.30 in the morning. When I answer, there’s nothing but silence for a few seconds before they just hang up. It’s pretty frustrating.

This was definitely a scam. The person said they were with Virgin and wanted me to get TeamViewer QuickSupport from the Play Store. When I joked about whether their mum knew what they were up to, they just cut the call.

BEWARE! This is a TOTAL SCAM. Loads of folks have reported losing quite a bit of cash to these dodgy schemes recently, especially this September. Scammers are getting bolder, so under no circumstances should you hand over any personal info or bank details. If you get a suspicious call, text, or even a letter, make sure you report it to Action Fraud. Also, posting about it on social media and encouraging others to share really helps stop more people from falling victim. Cheers for helping to fight against these scams!

I saw the number but didn’t pick up, it just ended up with someone breathing heavily down the phone! No message left, guess they got tired of nobody answering. Honestly, they should find actual work instead of bothering honest people like this.

I've had about five calls from unknown numbers over the last four hours on my landline, all showing different numbers but the same area code. One of them said it was Primark in Motherwell, from the 01698 282570 number. I didn't pick up on any of them, but it looks like this part of town is getting targeted today.

So this bloke from Virgin Media rings up, just says ‘alright’ and says there’s some issue, ‘alright’. In the background I could hear a woman giving someone a right telling off. I asked if he was really from Virgin Media, and he just told me to f… off, proper rude. I just told him to f… off right back and hung up. Was in the middle of something important but totally forgot what I was up to after that! 😂

Lately, all I get on my landline are scam calls from India. Honestly, it’s like they’re the only ones botherin’ to ring me now. If you’ve got a good cuppa and a bit of time to kill, it’s actually quite entertaining to mess about with them. But yeah, you need to be ready to just sit there and twiddle your thumbs!

The call came through with a thick Indian accent, and the connection was so poor it was nearly impossible to understand. They claimed my router was being used by others without my permission and offered to help fix the issue. I wasn’t convinced, so I politely declined and ended the call.
