I keep getting alerts almost every afternoon that they’re calling, even though I’ve blocked the number. It’s happening so often!

Got a call from this number on the 24th of April. I didn’t pick up, but judging by the comments here, it seems like these calls might be kicking off again.

My phone warns me whenever a scammer rings from the same number, so luckily I don’t have to pick up at all. They kept calling, but I just ignore them now.

Got a call from a number that was marked as a 'Scam caller', so I just ignored it. Later on, I checked it out on this site and saw it had been inactive for two years, which seemed worth reporting.

Got a call about some mobile deal from someone I don’t recognise. Didn’t bother to find out, just blocked them straight away.

Today, I got a ring from 01743816856, some cold calling rubbish for 'Compare the networks .com ??'. I tried ringing back, and it just went through loads of menu choices. I've blocked the number now, no more hassle from them :)

Got a dodgy call, definitely a scam.

Got called by someone claiming to be from Sky broadband, saying there was an issue with my internet speed over the past few days. Right when they started asking what gadgets I used to get online, I got a bad feeling. Told them I’d ring Sky directly on their official number instead. They kept insisting they’d ring me back and kept pestering about what tech I had at home. Definitely felt like a dodgy scam call!

I have no clue who these people are. Ever since my number got registered with a couple of mobile providers, I’ve been getting calls from them. They keep asking for a name that has never been linked to my number at all. Neither I nor the person they mention should have any reason to hear from these companies. Feels like a scam to me, probably targeting older folks or those who might not be able to spot it easily.

Got a call but nobody left a message. Strange!

Someone called saying they wanted to discuss upgrading my phone, but I had no idea which network I use. Sounds like a total scam to me!

They called claiming to be from Compare the Market, asking to discuss my mobile phone plan. I told them I wasn't interested in chatting. Got two calls in a row on back-to-back days.

I got a call from someone saying they could "help lower my phone bill" but it was just a spammy call.

I got a call from this number but no voicemail was left behind. Honestly, when people don’t leave a message, I just figure it’s either some spam or something dodgy.

Somebody called claiming to be from O2 about an upgrade. I told them I’d look up the number first, then they just ended the call.

I could barely make out what the caller was saying, but he said he was working alongside O2 or something like that. It was odd though because he was phoning about a GiffGaff number, which confused me. Feels like it was probably some kind of scam.

I picked up the call, and all they did was disconnect! How infuriating! 😤😠

Got a weird robocall with some garbled voice message that obviously wanted me to ring them back. Seems crazy the cops don’t track these numbers down and take action against these folks. Someone should really sort this out!

When I picked up, there was no one there and then the call just dropped.
