4 yearsI received a call just now from someone with a noticeable Indian accent saying, "I'm from the call blocking division..." That's when I decided to end the conversation.4 yearsI received a call from someone with an Indian accent who identified themselves as being from Opticom Telecom. They informed me that my line rental and call costs would be slashed starting next month. When I questioned their legitimacy and hinted that it might be a scam, the caller promptly disconnected.Opticom Telecom4 yearsThey didn’t pick up when the voicemail started rolling. We’ve been getting numerous calls from this bunch lately.4 yearsMy BT4600 phone has flagged up four "missed" calls from the number 02045205573 across yesterday and today. It seems this caller was rather persistent in their efforts to reach me. Luckily, my phone is equipped with a nifty call blocking feature that informs unknown callers that I’m not taking calls at the moment. It prompts them to state their name and hit the # key. Since my phone didn’t ring at all and my voicemail remained empty while I was out, it appears the caller likely lost interest and didn’t bother to continue with their approach. Upon investigating 02045205573 through Google, I discovered that it’s linked to some sort of scam involving fake updates for call blocking services. Although my BT phone's call blocker successfully fended off this annoyance, I have still wasted some time figuring out whether I was dealing with a scammer or not. I’ve gone ahead and added 02045205573 to my list of permanently blocked contacts, and I strongly recommend anyone with a call blocking feature on their phone do the same.Google4 yearsI received no further response after I mentioned that I was with the "Cyber Crime Unit of Devon and Cornwall Police."Cyber Crime UnitDevon and Cornwall Police4 yearsI received a phone call purporting to be from a Scam Call Prevention unit, claiming they handle scam call protection for major UK providers like BT, Sky, and TalkTalk. The caller asserted that they were reaching out to inform me that my account was using an outdated version of their service, and they were eager to upgrade me to the latest version, which would supposedly eliminate all scam calls! To confirm my identity as the account holder, he merely required my service reference number, which he suggested I could find by reviewing my Direct Debit details for the phone line. Playing along, I pretended to be utterly befuddled, and he kindly went on to assist me by indicating that my "Reference Number" would begin with 'IBAN'. In an effort to stall, I feigned an interest in conducting my own security check and posed a few questions to him. He reassured me that I had no need for concern and even provided what he claimed was their helpline number for reassurance. Curiously, I decided to call it using my mobile while still on the line with him, only to discover it was some unfortunate chap’s work number! The moment he realised he was overhearing my second conversation, he abruptly hung up. Let’s hope that no one gets duped into revealing their International Bank Account Number!Scam Call PreventionUKBTSkyTalkTalkDirect Debit4 yearsThey keep ringing me without a break!4 yearsShe claimed to be ringing from BT, discussing ways to lower my phone bill.BT4 yearsIt appears that this number is masquerading as if it's affiliated with a scam prevention agency.4 yearsI've had four calls from this number, and only managed to chat with them twice. They claimed to be part of a call blocking service, but it was obviously a scam. The accent was distinctly Asian, which made it even more suspicious. I've traced the number, and it’s definitely dodgy!4 yearsWhat a dodgy situation! Someone claiming to be David rang me up, and it turned out to be a total scam. He was harassing me, trying to pry into my bank information. He even had the audacity to say I had to re-block nuisance calls! Quite ridiculous, really.David4 yearsI picked up the phone and was met with nothing but silence! Just another pesky nuisance call, it seems.4 yearsI received a phone call from a gentleman with a slight Asian accent claiming to be from 'Call Blocker', and he actually knew my name! However, as soon as I began to inquire further, he abruptly ended the call. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!4 yearsReceived a call claiming they were ringing about a phone service upgrade set to start tomorrow. It struck me immediately as a potential scam, so I inquired if there would be any fees involved. When the chap replied in the affirmative, I promptly hung up. Would you believe it, they phoned me yet again in the afternoon! I chose to ignore the call that time. Same old typical accent, likely from someone in Asia.Asia4 yearsI recently had an unexpected encounter with a woman claiming that there were problems with my router, attempting to wheel her way into my network. I assure you, it's nothing more than a dodgy scam.4 yearsI missed the call from this number. They didn’t bother to leave any sort of message though.4 yearsI had the typical din of a call centre ringing in my ears, you know how it goes before they actually connect you. This rather eloquent bloke, his accent suggesting a touch of Asian or Indian heritage, was on the line prattling on about some service to block pesky calls. I politely told him I wasn't keen, and you should have seen his face - he really took exception to that! I must admit, there's something rather amusing about getting under their skin!4 yearsI received a call from someone with an English accent, but as soon as I inquired about their identity, they disconnected the line.4 yearsGot a rather amusing call, all about some call-blocking service from Microsoft.
