Didn't pick up when this number showed up, didn’t leave any voicemail either. Looked it up afterwards and saw loads of comments here from people with similar stories. Decided to put it on my block list.

I didn't recognise the number 02081236197, so I decided not to pick up. There wasn’t any voicemail left either. After doing a bit of digging into the number, I found various accounts from others on this site, which led me to block it without hesitation.

Today, I picked up my landline, and there seemed to be someone on the other end eavesdropping for about half a minute before they suddenly cut off the call. I used the 1471 service to trace the number, which turned out to be 02081236197. When I tried to return the call, it just wouldn’t go through. Odd, isn’t it?

Got a call from 02081236197 but no message was left. Seems dodgy to me. If it was a proper call, they’d have dropped a voicemail or something. Stay cautious!

Total scam call.

Got a call from a bloke claiming he was from a firm linked to Newham Council, saying they do free repairs for council and housing association tenants. He asked if there was anything we needed fixing. This definitely isn’t how things operate, so it felt like a con. Around here, loads of dodgy tradesmen trick vulnerable folks into paying and then vanish without doing anything. Stay sharp!

Got a call from 02081236197, some bloke saying he was from Halifax Bank about compensation for a wrongly sold mortgage. He sounded like he was Indian and said his name was Wilson. As soon as he asked for my birth date, I just hung up.

I got a call from someone saying they were calling from the "UK Benefits Department". When I asked how they got my contact, they told me it came from Companies House. I told them to take my number off their list and to stop ringing me. Pretty obvious scam if you ask me.

This number just rang me, but when I picked up, there was nothing but silence on the other end. I attempted to ring it back afterwards, but it said the number wasn't recognised. Strange!
