Just go ahead and block this number. They already had my first name, which is creepy!!!

They called me twice but I didnt pick up. Then I tried calling back a few days later and the line just went dead. Seems dodgy, probably scammers.

She called me knowing my first name and asked if I’d had an accident in the past 18 months, definitely a scam so I blocked the number!

Scam alert - now they’re claiming to be “National Utilities.” These muppets just grab numbers from Facebook profiles. I tried it myself by putting a fresh PAYG number on a fake Facebook Business page. Within a week, got a ring from “National Utilities,” ha! They don’t give up quick, took them weeks. I usually just stick them on some chill hold music once I pick up, keeps me entertained while they wait.

Got a call from this number on my phone today! I hardly ever share my number, only with family, mates and people I really need to get in touch with. So I reckon this is just some scammer having a go! When you pick up, you're basically putting yourself on a list for everyone and anyone to call!

My phone flagged the number as possibly fraudulent, so I chose to disregard it and added it to my block list.

Just had a call from this number a short while ago! Since I only share my mobile with family, mates, and colleagues who actually need to get in touch, I tend to block anyone I don't recognise. I checked a caller ID site, and seeing as I don't know anyone from Preston, it’s a bit baffling!

guy had a thick accent and sounded annoyed when i asked him to speak slower and say it again. i just wanted to find out who it was and tell him i wasnt interested. i told him to stop calling cause ive been getting loads of calls non stop.

The caller just stays silent, no words at all. Honestly, it feels more like a irritation and almost comes off as harassment.
6 years
Someone out there has gotta know who this is and where they’re calling from, so they can be put to a stop. If enough folks reported this number, it could be shut down. I’m totally fed up with these silent calls.
