3 monthsGot a call saying I owed money on my energy bills, but the funny thing is, the caller didn’t realise I’m not even the homeowner! What a mess.3 monthsThis number keeps popping up every couple of days. It’s marked as annoying, so I just ignore it and don’t pick up.3 monthsMy phone never actually rang, but I got a voicemail saying I needed to call back to stop bailiffs coming, though they didn’t say who they were or what company. Then, this morning, they called again from a number that was almost the same, just one digit off. Pretty sure it’s some kind of automated bot leaving these messages.4 monthsGot a call from someone who kept stickin to some weird script and had an accent that was really hard to understand. They said something about Avantis, I believe. Then they started going on about some sort of 'data protection' mumbo jumbo that was supposedly important before they’d go on. I just cut the call straight away.Avantis4 monthsNo incoming calls logged. Voicemail didn't ring either. Probably some bot scam.5 monthsThey’ve rang me repeatedly without me asking, last one was just the other day on the 4th of Feb, started getting calls since mid-Jan.5 monthsGot a call from a debt collection team for Welsh Water. They told me I had a month to sort out my money situation and promised to ring me again afterwards.Welsh Water5 monthsGot a call from Avantis Debt folks. They’re legit, but you have to go through this annoying automated menu and then hang about on hold before you can actually talk to someone.6 monthsGot another ring from this number, didn’t even bother picking up.6 monthsSomeone called saying they were working for a company they wouldn’t say, about some supposed debt I apparently owe.6 monthsThis was definitely a scammer. I’ve already blocked the number and reported it.6 monthsGot these annoying robo-calls popping up three times daily, never saying why they're ringing. I've blocked the number and reported it already.7 monthsThis number, 441782401161, has rung me up three times over just a couple of days. I had to put my phone on divert due to these annoying calls. They never bothered to leave a message either. I've gone ahead and blocked it now!7 monthsI just dont pick up anymore, it’s obvious its some kind of scam. This new number is only meant for urgent calls and only me and one other person know it. Still, it rings at least 3 times a day from a different number. Quite annoying!7 monthsDefinitely a scam, they’re just after your name and address to trick you. Avoid giving out any details!8 monthsGot a call today from someone trying to trick me into giving my name and address. Definitely felt like a scam.8 monthsOver the past week, I've got three calls from them and every time they hang up without saying anything, just a silent voicemail. It's pretty annoying.8 monthsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise, and they didn’t even leave a message. After checking the reviews here, seems like it might be a scam.9 monthsReceived a call on my home phone from someone claiming to be with Advantis. He said he was representing a third party but wouldn't say who. I didn’t give out any of my info, and now he’s threatening to send me a letter.Advantis10 monthsI've been getting loads of calls from this number, always asking for my ID and some really odd questions. Feels pretty dodgy to me. I'm blocking anyone linked to it because it seems like a scam to me.10 monthsAfter a few weeks of silence, that scammer rang me once more today. They kept pushing me to send them a letter. I've gotten loads of calls from them. The whole thing felt like a subtle threat.11 monthsGot a call from a very polite woman, the same as others have said before. Thankfully, I was cautious. The company she said she was with was ADVANTIS, but what she was saying was hard to understand - sounded a bit muddled. When I asked her to spell the company name, she said she needed to check who I was, apparently for a client with some unpaid issues. Turns out ADVANTIS is a real debt collection agency. Luckily, I don't owe anything. I told her she should send me info in writing, but she said that wouldn’t stop the calls from coming!ADVANTIS12 monthstotal scam, watch out!1 yearOn 4th June 2025, I got a ring from 01782 401161. It was a really polite woman on the line trying to find a Mr, I think she said ‘Whipple’. I told her she’d got the wrong number, and she was quick to apologise and said she'd make sure my number gets taken off their list. Don’t know what company she was from though.Whipple1 yearThis number just keeps ringing with no actual person on the line, sounds like one of those automated calls from China. Definitely a scam, so best to ignore and not pick up.1 yearGot a voicemail from someone saying it was Advantis or from Advantis, but honestly, I could barely make out what they were saying because the volume was so low. After seeing other comments here, it definitely looks like a scam to me.Advantis1 yearWatch out for scam callers - as soon as I picked up, they just stayed silent and didn’t say a word.1 yearI've never come across Advantis before. Reading other posts, it kinda feels like it might be a scam. Would be careful if I were you.1 yearI get calls from them about some business stuff.1 yearI have absolutely no idea who this caller is.2 yearsThe number showed up as from Stoke on Trent when they phoned me. I decided not to pick up since I had no idea who it could be, and after reading the comments online, it seems like it's a scam ring.Stoke - on - Trent2 yearsThey just keep calling no matter what you say.2 yearsThe call info showed this as a hidden number, but then the text asked me to ring 0172 971401 and said it was from Adlantis. After checking other reviews, it’s clear this is a scammer using a blocked number. Watch out, folks!Adlantis2 yearsWoke up to a call first thing in the morning from some random number looking for someone who definitely isn’t me. These pesky cold callers are really something else...2 yearsAdvantis says they’ll never get in touch with you asking for personal details like your card number, PIN, security code, or any online banking info by phone, text, or email. So if you get a random call, message, or email asking for that stuff - no matter how official it looks - just ignore it!Advantis2 yearsI reckon it was Advantis Credit or something like that who kept ringing me. I already blocked their numbers a year back, but they just keep trying to get in touch. Proper annoying spam calls.Advantis Credit2 yearsThey’ve tried ringing me both today and yesterday but I ignored it. They left a voicemail saying their name was Advantis or something like that. Just to be safe, I looked up the company online and found out it’s a scam. Did a quick search on here too, and with all the other comments, I’ll definitely be blocking this number now.2 yearsI got a voicemail from them on my phone asking me to ring back. I was a bit wary, so I searched the number on Google and found this site. After reading all the comments, I’m definitely going to block the number. Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences, really useful stuff! 😊2 yearsGot a missed call with a voicemail asking me to ring them back. When I did, the person claimed to be from a debt collection agency and started asking for my personal info. I just told them to get lost!2 yearsI got a voicemail asking me to ring them back, but they never said who they were looking for!2 yearsSo this number supposedly from Advantis rang me but they refused to share any info unless I gave them my personal details first. I said no and asked for it in writing instead. After that I just blocked the number. Total scam, 100%.2 yearsI've had some experience with Adventist Debt Collection before, dealt with them a few times in the past. We've been in touch on several occasions.Adventist debt collection2 yearsDefinitely a total rip-off, no doubt about it.2 yearsBoth my wife and I have received calls from this number. I'd be careful with it since I reckon it's a scam call.2 yearsGot a missed call, but no voicemail or anything. Honestly, just buzz off and find yourself a real job.2 yearsTotal scam, watch out!2 yearsGot a voicemail telling me it was from "your banker" asking me to ring back on a number. Honestly, I had to laugh haha 🤣. Pretty obvious scam to me, especially since they never mentioned which bank or even my name!2 yearsI've put that number on my blocked list, but guess what? They keep ringing me anyway. It's pretty obvious they're using a different number each time, so yeah, it's clear they're just some shady lot. Proper dodgy behaviour if you ask me.2 yearsGot no idea who these lot are, but they're proper annoying. If you don’t know them, best not to pick up the phone.2 yearsI didn’t pick up when they called, then had a look on this site and found out it’s just a scam.2 yearsI had no idea who was calling until I looked up the number, since it showed up on my landline but not on my mobile. Just for a laugh, I've been getting calls from that BSB debt company. I saw on MoneySavingExpert that they keep switching their name like every week, and they even send scary letters signed by “Michael Jackson” - yeah, the famous pop singer's name! I just let those calls bounce off the answering machine. They always tell you to ring back, but calling them back can cost you loads, so definitely avoid that.BSBMoneySavingExpertMichael Jackson2 yearsGot two calls from this number, didn’t answer since I saw the reviews. Feels like a scam to me, especially as I’m not signed up to anything with my phone number.2 yearsTotally just spam, nothing more.2 yearsMy husband and I have been getting repeated calls from someone claiming to be Welsh Water. They don’t ask any proper security questions and got a lot of our details wrong. Just a heads up, don’t share any personal info with them!Welsh Water2 yearsThe answering machine picked up but there wasn’t any message left, just a voice saying to ring back on 01782401161.2 yearsThis number's called me a few times now, like three or so, asking for someone who doesn't even live here. They also left that 01782971401 to call back on. Bit annoying really.2 yearsAdvantis called me earlier claiming it was about a private issue, but I didn't share anything with them. Feels dodgy, pretty sure it's a scam.2 yearsI got a message telling me to ring them back on a number that looked pretty much the same. They never said who they were or anything, just asked for a call back. That’s why I’m thinking of blocking the number. I’d expect any legit business to at least say who they’re calling about or something like that to show they’re genuine.2 yearsReceived a call from this number in the early hours, inquiring about someone named Jayden McFarlan. To be honest, this name has put me through quite a bit of agitation. If she is indeed real, I’d be quite keen to have a chat with her, as it seems she's in quite the financial pickle, with numerous folks seemingly after her.Jayden McFarlan2 yearsI got a call saying it was Thames Water, but they kept pushing for some info from me which felt pretty sketchy.Thames Water2 yearsMy 12 year old got a call on her mobile from what sounded like a dodgy call centre. The line was awful and I had to ask who she was like three times because I couldn’t understand her properly. Eventually, she said she was ringing from somewhere called Avantas and was looking for someone else. She was quite nice about it and even said sorry for dialing the wrong number.Avantas2 yearsA call with no one on the other end.2 yearsIt just won't stop calling!2 yearsI received a call but there was complete silence on the other end.
