Somebody's clearly just collecting phone numbers off the internet. They tried ringing a UK council, but thankfully we're well aware of scam calls. We picked up but ended the call straight away.

This number has been calling me quite a bit recently, probably like 3 times a week for the past few weeks. I always let it go to voicemail because my phone flags it as spam. They leave a message asking me to ring them back but there’s no way I’m returning their call!

Somebody said they were from the dentist and asked me to ring back on that number. I haven’t bothered calling because that number isn’t for my dentist, plus my dentist isn’t even located in Stoke on Trent.

Omg, this number has called me AGAIN... it’s like the third time now on both my landline and my mobile. I’m not having any of these scams so I blocked the number, but they keep ringing and don’t even leave a voicemail! It’s seriously annoying and feels kinda sketchy, could even be dangerous!

This number, 01782401194, is definitely a scam. Even if it’s a BT landline, that doesn’t mean it’s legit. Nobody should be ringing you out of the blue like that. Total scam, watch out!

They’ve been ringing me multiple times every day for weeks now but never bother to leave a message. Really annoying 😠 I’m defiantly not interested in what they’re trying to sell.

Total scam. Got calls three times this week from them saying I owe money on a water bill, which is rubbish. So annoying. Seems like they’re copying info from a Gov.uk site, then ringing up anyone they reckon they can rip off pretending it’s legit business.

They kept texting and ringing my work line loads, so I eventually called them back using the details from their official site. Pretty quickly it was obvious I wasn’t relevant since I don’t handle finances, but then they asked to speak to someone higher up, like a director or the accounts dept. They promised to take my number off their list. They sounded pretty legit, but I still reckon it might be a scam.

They kept ringing my work line over and over, leaving these kinda garbled voicemails. When I got back to them, they just wanted my info, saying it was 'sensitive'. Honestly, if they don’t reach out by email or post, it’s pretty much a red flag for a scam.

Got a robo call from Advantis Collections asking me to ring them back on this number or to check out their website. Bit annoying tbh.

They left a voicemail with their number, saying it was urgent to talk to me, which is odd. I tried to block and report the call, but somehow the message still got through. Turns out it was some debt collector, but I haven’t got any bills outstanding - everything’s paid up to date.

They keep insisting they're a business, but I have absolutely no dealings with them. They've sent me some pre-recorded messages about a supposed claim, yet I've never received any letter from them. It's really starting to feel like they're up to no good!

To begin with, the number that they rang me on is linked exclusively to my tablet, and only two individuals are privy to it-my husband and Sky. I can't help but wonder how on earth they managed to acquire that information. I had a brief conversation with them, but they insisted that unless I divulged further details, they wouldn’t reveal how they obtained this number. I've had this number for a mere six weeks, so it's baffling. They even left a voicemail claiming they'd sent me a letter outlining the reasons they needed to discuss matters with me, but I’ve not received any correspondence whatsoever. I owe nothing to anyone! So, I urge you to exercise caution if you find yourself in communication with them; insist on receiving any documentation regarding any supposed accounts you allegedly have. I've made that request countless times but have yet to receive a single piece of paperwork from these companies. Be wary!

I received a call from a bloke purporting to be with Advatis Debt Recovery, addressing some pressing business issue. He asked me to verify certain information but wouldn't respond to my queries, which led me to simply end the call.

I had a call the other day from someone requesting to verify my information. I mentioned that they should already have that since they were the ones reaching out to me! Then, I got another call today, which was completely automated, informing me that they had supposedly sent me a letter about a debt issue. I must clarify, I don't owe a single penny to anyone!

I did a bit of digging online and found out that these debt collectors are often associated with large corporations, such as HMRC. However, I can confidently say that we don’t have any financial obligations towards them.

Got a call from this number, but it ended straight away. Had a look here and seems like a scam, so I've made a note of it and won't pick up if it rings back.

They’re definitely trying to scam people. I’ve had loads of calls from this number, 01782401194, and it’s just an automated message every time. I’ve started blocking the number on my phone as well as asking my provider to block it too. Don’t pick up or hand over any info - it’s really dodgy. Make sure to report these calls to the UK cyber crime folks; you can ring 03001232040 or text 7726. Stay safe!

Somebody rang me, saying they were from Advatis Debt Recovery about a business issue. I looked up their website but the phone number they gave me didn’t line up at all. When I called the number on their actual site, they told me it wasn’t them. Bit fishy if you ask me.

I've been getting calls from a firm called Advantis, they’ve left about 5 voicemails now. Honestly, if they ring again and I end up answering, they’re in for a surprise! They claim it’s something urgent about business stuff and provide a website link. I haven’t bothered checking the site yet, but it sounds like some sort of scam or just aggressive selling.

Got a call earlier today from a number that showed up as a mobile starting with +44, but when I checked my call history it was from 01782 401194. The caller said they were from Advantis and wanted to discuss some important business stuff. I looked them up online but the phone numbers on their website were totally different. Bit fishy if you ask me.

They called saying it was something to do with a business account and asked me to verify some info. Thing is, I don’t even have a business.
