I've received a few rather daft calls from this number, but to be honest, they must be clueless!

I've been inundated with calls from a foreign-sounding chap regarding council tax matters. As soon as my partner picks up, he starts blabbing away, but the moment we're on the line, he hangs up. He definitely gives off dodgy vibes, like a proper con artist. When you attempt to ring back on the number he called from, it just goes to voicemail, which suggests it's likely a one-way line. This nonsense needs to be sorted out posthaste!

I just received a call from the same number. The moment we said hello, they hung up! I appreciate you sharing this number; it's helpful for others to know it's a scam. If they attempt to ring me again, I’ll simply tell them to clear off as there’s a train about to arrive!

Beware of con artists trying to fish for your personal details! They’re posing as officials who are supposedly processing a refund for your council tax, but don’t be fooled. They’ll ask for sensitive info like your date of birth and card numbers-both credit and debit. It's a scam! Keep your information safe and don’t share a thing. I've already notified the Telephone Preference Service about these dodgy characters. Stay vigilant!

Just moments ago, we received a call from 02072374852. I can’t believe how foolish we were to share our information with them! Thankfully, we acted quickly and contacted our bank to cancel our debit card right afterwards. What a close call!

I received a call at my home today, but as soon as I answered, there was complete silence on the line. Quite odd, really.

I encountered a rather perplexing situation today when I received a call from the number 02072374852 at precisely 1:18 PM on the 12th of July, 2011. It was quite odd, as no one uttered a single word before they abruptly disconnected the call. Upon attempting to return the call, I found the number to be unreachable. It makes one wonder if perhaps the laws concerning withheld or unavailable phone numbers should be reconsidered. Surely, implementing a system to prevent such annoyances would be a straightforward solution to this ongoing frustration. But then again, simplicity often eludes us in these matters, doesn't it?

I recently received a call from the same bloke. The moment we expressed our doubts about the details provided, they promptly stated that due to our scepticism, they couldn’t assist us further. Mind you, we kept our cool and didn’t use any foul language! They must think we're a bunch of fools!

I received a call from this number claiming the government was giving us £7,000 due to our exemplary record over the years. They asked for details like our date of birth to verify our identity. We mentioned we work within the government system and had never heard of such a thing. The foreign lady on the other end hung up without warning. Please exercise caution with this number; they're likely trying to steal your personal information!

We were jolted from our slumber by someone on the line claiming to be from a government department, using the same phone number. The moment we asked which department they actually belonged to, they claimed to represent the council tax office. However, when we inquired further about which specific section they were from, they were utterly stumped. After that, we unleashed a torrent of colourful language before hanging up the phone.

What a hoot! This really had us in stitches. I wish I'd had faith in it earlier. I’ll certainly be more ready for it next time around. Bravo, K!

On the fourth of July at around 1:20 PM, I received a call claiming to be from the Council Tax department. This rather dubious voice, presumably female and with perhaps an accent from Africa, was going on about how I’d been paying council tax for ages. However, I interrupted her to clarify that we aren’t residents of London and have only just started to settle our council tax bills. I ended the conversation with a slightly cheeky “goodbye,” reminiscent of Anne Robinson. I’m not easily fooled by these con artists, but it does concern me how many more susceptible folks might fall victim to their tricks.

Received a call from a chap with a rather thick foreign accent, claiming to represent the Council Tax office. He went on about how the government had decided to reimburse us for all our Council Tax payments over the last five years! My friend, rather sceptical, told him where to go and promptly hung up. Quite the cheek, really!

I recently received a call from someone claiming to be Christine George, who had a rather thick foreign accent. It seemed like they thought they could have a laugh with me! They alleged that they had come to refund my council tax from the past five years. I already had a sneaking suspicion they might request my bank details, but when they did, I just handed them ‘999 999'. Despite this little ruse, they kept pressing on! I admit we were a tad cheeky for doing so. The chap got rather irate when I posed a few questions and huffed that I was wasting his precious time. Quite the nerve, isn’t it? I'd really like to know just how these characters got hold of my number!

Just received a call claiming to be from a doctor based in Hong Kong. A mate of ours answered and mentioned that they sounded rather unwell before the call abruptly cut off. We got sent home from work earlier today, so this whole situation feels incredibly odd!

I recently received a call from this number... A chap with a foreign accent claimed to represent the council tax department, asserting that I’ve been overpaying my council tax for the past eight years. It didn’t take long for us to realise they were pulling a fast one since we’ve only been living on our own for the past four years! It’s such a nauseating experience!
