Ha! Definitely sounds like a total scam, but "Carphone Warehouse"? Yeah, right!

Does anyone know who this might be? They never left a message or anything. Why would a UK company ring up and not bother to leave a voicemail? Feels like some kind of automated system just dialing random numbers.

I keep ignoring calls from this number since I haven’t got a clue who it is, likely just some telemarketer. These types of calls are so annoying!

This number has been ringing me several times over the past few days but I never picked up. Not once did they bother to leave a message. Honestly, if you want to seem trustworthy, maybe try leaving a voicemail!

They keep ringing me non stop, even with my number blocked, now they’re calling from other numbers so I’m just blocking each one as it comes through!

Got a call from a lady claiming she was with the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, talking about some GDPR stuff. She wanted to speak to the business owner, which is me. When I said that I wasn’t interested, she just kept pushing so I ended up hanging up. Seeing the other comments here, looks like I dodged a scam or at least a very annoying sales call. I rang the number back and all I got was a recorded message from something called IFS research. Total waste of time.

Got a call from a woman saying she was with some government agency asking about data protection, GDPR and Brexit stuff. I asked her to share their website so I could check them out and ring the official office back properly. She said they don’t take incoming calls, which sounded fishy to me. I ended up just hanging up and blocked the number straight away.

I reckon it's some kind of scam, had a few calls from these numbers and they just drop the call straight away without a word. Never even get a chance to say anything back.

Got a ring that lasted only about 12 seconds before they cut off. With what I’ve read here, I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number. It’s really annoying how these folks keep at it, especially when loads of people struggle just to cover the basics.

Received a call from someone named Richard Knight, said he was from some Government Culture and Sport department, asking for whoever handles Data here. This number has rung me a bunch of times before, but usually when I pick up, there’s no one there. Told him I’m not involved with sport stuff and ended the call. I’ve blocked the number now. Seems like a total scam to me since I doubt a real government office would give you a ring like this - they’d probably send a letter or an email instead, which I’d just ignore anyway.

As soon as they heard the voicemail, they just cut off the call without saying a word. Didn’t bother leaving any message either. Definitely getting blocked from now on.

This number keeps ringing me non-stop, it's getting really annoying. Feels like harassment at this point. I wish there was a way to block it and maybe inform the phone company about it.

Got a call from some bloke claiming to be from "DCMS" about data protection. Turns out it was just a dodgy sales spiel trying to get me to hand over info or push some rubbish I don't want or need. Yeah, no thanks, straight to the blacklist for them.

Got a call from 02080495688 asking something about GDPR and stuff, anyone else had this? Feels a bit dodgy to me.

This number has rung me twice in the past couple of weeks, but both times there was complete silence at the other end. I have no clue who’s trying to get in touch or why they keep calling.

Beware of someone named Luke claiming to be from DCMS talking about GDPR rules - total scammer!

This bloke called me using my first name, like he had it from before. He gave his name as Benjamin Bennet and said he was from the DCMS, saying he wanted to run a survey. I wasn’t convinced and asked him where exactly his office was. After a pause, he said the 5th floor on Lower King Street in London. That was the moment I knew it was dodgy, so I didn’t hold back telling him what I thought about any government survey coming from him.

got a call out of nowhere from some geezer saying he was from the department of culture media and sport, all big on data protection or whatever. he kept banging on about wanting to speak to the person handling data protection urgently. sounded dodgy to me, like one of those made-up dramas where they just want you to cough up cash to fix a problem they cooked up. best to give them a wide berth.

I've been getting loads of calls from 0207 and 0208 numbers recently, and they mostly turn out to be dodgy scams. I usually just let them ring and don’t pick up. When I do answer and figure out it's a scam straight away, I hang up right away without saying anything.

Got a call from +44 20 8049 5688, London today. They asked me for my first name, which I gave, but said they were from some official London-based group checking up on small businesses and GDPR stuff. When I asked for more details, they couldn’t tell me my last name or anything about my business. Definitely felt like a scam, there’s loads of them going around now.
