I picked up the call from 01940 336495 but there was nobody there. Feels like it might be some sort of scam to me.

Got a call from 0194 0597082 about some problem with my National Insurance number, said I needed to fix it. It sounded like it was on autopilot. Just so you know, HMRC handles this stuff, so don’t get tricked into anything dodgy.

This morning I got a ring from 01940 218 516, but as soon as I picked up, the line went dead. I didn’t bother returning the call, figured it might be some sort of scam.

Got a call to my home phone from 01940 197861. It was some automated message with a posh sounding woman saying £600 had been withdrawn from my account just 15 minutes earlier. I definitely didn’t press any buttons.

Got a call earlier today from 019400637752 saying my internet would be disconnected in 4 hours unless I chose one of two options. It felt dodgy, so I just hung up and checked my provider's website myself. As I guessed, everything - internet, phone, all of it - was working perfectly fine!

01940 221597 My elderly mum, who’s 89, got a phone call from this number. They basically scared her by saying money had been taken from her card, which isn’t true at all. She’s really shaken up about it now. It’s obvious they’re trying to trick her into sending them money. These people are nothing but scammers - watch out for them! I’ve already reported it to the NatWest fraud department.

01940 221597 My granny, who's 89, got a ring from this number and it really upset her. They tried telling her that cash had been taken from her account, which is totally untrue, all just to trick her into giving them money. She's really shaken up by the whole thing. These people are con artists, so watch out. I've already informed the Nat West Fraud department about it.

01940 221597 - SCAM My elderly mum, who’s 89, got a call from this number. They scared the life out of her, claiming money had been taken from her card. She hasn’t lost a penny, but the whole thing shook her up badly. It’s clear they’re just trying to trick her into handing over her cash. Proper scammers, watch out for these lot. I’ve already told Nat West’s fraud department about it.

Managed to answer 01941995973 just quick enough, and honestly, I’m relieved I hadn’t read these reviews before picking up.

Got a call from 01940403152, some chat about charges on my Visa from overseas. Pretty common thing these days.

I got a phone call from someone claiming they were with BT and they asked if I had BT Internet. If it was really BT, surely they’d already have all my info without asking. Felt dodgy straight away. Then they tried to say my broadband was running slow and not up to scratch. I have a pricey fibre-to-the-premises setup and I’m pretty careful about checking my speeds daily - it’s actually faster than promised most of the time. When I told them this, the caller just hung up on me straight away. Total scam alert! The number they called from was 01940 532657.

I got a call from 01940470728, it was some recorded message telling me that £600 had been sent out of my bank account to another country and to press 1 if I wanted to stop it. Luckily, no money was actually taken. Definitely a scam, so watch out!

Got a couple of dodgy automated calls today saying my bank account was used for overseas purchases, asked me to press 1 to get details. Then they rang me again from some foreign number doing the exact same thing. Very fishy!
