Gave me a ring via a standard messaging service rather than using WhatsApp or similar platforms, which makes me think it might be a business or some sort of company.

Got a ring from this number but my phone showed it as spam or a scam cause I've had a few calls from it before and marked it as dodgy. I didn't pick up as I was busy working. When I called back there was just music on the line so I hung up. I've seen others say it's Vodafone trying to remind about contract renewal. I've added it to my blocked list now.

I reckon these folks have somehow broken into the phone network, they’re definitely not based in the UK, maybe somewhere like Pakistan or India, using a VPN to cover their tracks. What does that tell you? Don’t trust a word they say, it’s all a load of rubbish. They probably got your details from other dodgy characters selling info.

rang back and it was just some music playing, after reading the comments im happy i didnt pick up, sounds like a dodgy bank scam, ive blocked it now and reported it too.

Complete scam, claiming it's about bank PPI and that they've secured compensation of £2550 plus £1550 interest from your bank. When I asked them to name my bank, I said "Bank of Paris" (which isn’t real), and they didn’t catch on. They gave me a reference and ID number, said they wouldn’t ask for any bank or card details, and mentioned the money was in some kind of wallet. Then they passed me to another Asian caller who asked for the ref and ID numbers, so I fed him false ones. More to follow...

I’ve recently encountered some dodgy characters attempting bank fraud. They were fishing for my account number and sort code. It’s absolutely infuriating how these scammers operate!

What a complete scam! They claimed to have secured compensation of £2550 plus an additional £1550 in interest from my so-called bank regarding PPI. When I mentioned "Bank of Paris" as my institution, I could tell they were clueless, as it’s entirely made up! They proceeded to issue me a reference and ID number, assuring me they wouldn't ask for any bank or card details. Oddly enough, they mentioned the funds were in some sort of 'wallet'! Then, I was handed over to another chap who sounded South Asian. He requested the reference and ID numbers, which I purposely got wrong, leaving him visibly puzzled. Instead of admitting defeat, he asked for my phone number to verify those details. Eventually, he gave me a new set of reference and ID numbers-still different from the ones I'd just been given. He then suggested I wasn’t very tech-savvy and offered to assist me in accessing this mysterious wallet. He absurdly asked me to put my phone on speaker mode (for what reason?), then insisted I download an app called AnyDesk from the Play Store, which would enable him to remotely take control of my device. This is a blatant tactic to siphon off bank details, personal information, and passwords. These crooks need to be brought to justice! Please report any such incidents to the police and the Financial Conduct Authority.

I received a call from someone with a noticeable foreign accent, who said he was ringing on behalf of Vodafone to inform me about some exciting new promotional offers they had on hand. However, I wasn't particularly keen on it, given that I don’t even use Vodafone myself.

Someone rang saying they were from Vodaphone and that I had to update my contract, but there was a massive delay on the line. I started feeling a bit uneasy and told them the connection was poor, then they said they'd call back later. After seeing the reviews here, I decided to block the number.

This is a Vodafone number, they rung me a couple of times about my contract renewal. I've checked and it is definitely Vodafone. I've already renewed my contract and got all the details through. Seems like a proper, legit number.

Got a call from this number earlier, didn’t have a clue who it was so I just let it ring out to voicemail. Didn’t get any message after, so I checked online to see if it’s been flagged before. Looks like loads of people have had issues with it, glad I didn’t pick up. I’ve blocked it now.

This number has been ringing me non stop. It started on my landline and I finally picked up cos it was driving me mad. Some bloke speaking English, pretty clear no accent, says "Hello Sir! Are you experiencing issues with BT broadband?" I just hung up cause no one ever rings me there and I aint with BT broadband anyway. Now its been my mobile for 4 days straight. Tried blocking but keeps coming through.

This number has been ringing me quite a few times over the last few days. I picked up once and the caller said they were from Vodafone and wanted to talk to someone else who lives with me. If they were actually Vodafone, they’d surely know that this phone is registered to me. Plus, if they needed to reach the other person, they could’ve just called their number directly.

It just keeps ringing incessantly… the answer machine captures nothing but dead air, followed by the sound of the receiver being hung up. What an irritating bother for our elderly family! No one on the line, just a frustrating void of silence.

I'm not sure if it was spam or not, but since I’m out of minutes, I couldn't ring them back. I figured they might give me another ring after I didn’t answer, but so far, nothing. Guess I’ll just wait and see if they get in touch again.
