This number has been blowing up my phone loads over the past few days. Today, some robotic voice claimed they were from HMRC and said I had fraud charges and there was a warrant for my arrest. I just hung up straight away. I've reported it to HMRC already!

Got another one of those scam calls! This time they said I’d be charged £39.99 monthly for an Amazon subscription unless I hit 1 to talk to someone and cancel. Tried a bit of a different trick, but it’s clear rubbish since I don't even have an Amazon Prime account.

Got a call from this number earlier; at first it was just silent, but as I was about to hang up I caught a voice. I was actually waiting for another call, so I answered. The guy, sounding cheerful with an Indian accent, claimed to be from Benefits UK and wanted to ask some 'household questions' that'd only take a few minutes. I told him I was busy and didn’t want to do it, but he said he’d ring back tomorrow and kept trying to persuade me to chat now. To stop him going on, I just said goodbye and hung up. Seems like a sketchy data-collecting scam if you ask me.

02085073177 rang me today. I didn’t pick up, but the call just dropped. Probably another scammer. There’s loads of these calls now. It’s no surprise folks keep falling for them. Why isn’t the Government cracking down on this?

After saying no to their questions several times and telling them to take me off their list, I decided this time to feed them some rubbish info. I let the caller go on for a bit, then just told them "I'm done here" and cut the call.

01257555316 Seriously, invest in a phone with a call blocker feature. Make sure your network provider adds call display to your plan - it’s really handy. There's this caller announcement thing where the person has to say who they are before the phone even rings for you. Then you can choose to answer, block or send to voicemail. Scammers usually give up quick, and if not, just block their number. Since using this, I haven’t had a single scam call. You can also block a whole range of numbers from the same company which is great when they keep switching numbers.

Had a caller with a strong Indian accent claiming to be from UK benefits. Used my name but got it a bit wrong, which seemed believable.
