Watch out for this dodgy number: 01726 862 532. It’s after my elderly dad, trying to trick him into pressing either 1 or 2 for his banking info. Thankfully, he didn’t give in and just stayed silent, after which they hung up on him. Oddly enough, I can’t seem to find any information about this number anywhere. Be cautious!

I received a call just now. A chap with a South Asian accent inquired if I was named John Smith, which I humorously played along with, though that isn't my name at all. He then posed a rather odd query about my computer, lingered in silence for a moment, and then erupted into laughter before hanging up. There were sounds reminiscent of a call centre in the background-whether they were genuine or pre-recorded, it’s hard to say. The number 01726 is linked to St. Austell, so I suppose this spammer is using some dodgy routing through a phantom line of sorts.

I got a call today from someone whose accent was quite thick; they were babbling on about my computer being inundated with rubbish and junk messages, which, to be honest, isn’t the case at all. They claimed it was due to my internet being constantly connected, but that's simply not true either. After I hung up on him-albeit nicely-he had the audacity to ring me back! He mentioned he obtained my number from my banking info. But funnily enough, he suddenly seemed to grasp proper English once I firmly told him to leave me be!

I attempted to ring that number again, but it turned out to be 'unrecognised,' so I couldn't get through!

Received a call today from the same chap. He inquired if I was the account holder and wanted to know my identity. When I pressed for more details, he abruptly ended the call. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!

I received a call from this number as well, but when I attempted to return the call, it said the number doesn’t exist or isn’t registered. Quite peculiar!

So, I received a call from someone who identified herself as 'Jennifer' and, after quite a bit of coaxing, she claimed to be representing the "software support centre" for Windows. Honestly, I’m not a fool-it's as if they think I just fell off the turnip truck!

Received a rather unsettling voicemail with nothing but deep, laboured breaths-no actual speech at all.

I had a rather vexing encounter with my computer yesterday. A gentleman with an Asian accent rang me up, trying to have a chinwag about some technical issue. I made it quite clear, in a courteous manner, that I wasn’t falling for any tricks and politely asked him to take his leave.

I’ve just received a call from this number as well! Apparently, my computer is to blame for all sorts of global issues. An Asian chap named Shaun was on the line, claiming he had all the answers. Let’s just say, I didn’t exactly share the same level of courtesy as the person who commented before me!

I received a call from this number as well - they seemed to be aware of my name, which is quite concerning, to say the least.
