Some bloke rang saying I was wanted for tax evasion and that there was an arrest warrant against me. Since I’m not working right now, there’s no way that’s legit - definitely a scam.

Had another annoying call today, probably one of those internet scams. I always ignore calls if the number isn’t saved in my contacts - never trust unknown numbers. They left a voicemail, but it was just some robotic recording. Honestly, how daft are these scammers?
7 years
I recently received a rather alarming phone call from this number, claiming that my internet would be cut off in 24 hours unless I pressed 1. It’s funny, because I've had a similar call from another number not too long ago.
I urge everyone, if you get a call like this, please don't engage - just hang up immediately. It's nothing but a scam!
7 years
It was obvious right from the start that this so-called internet provider was a scam, so I just ended the call. These days, most of the landline calls we receive turn out to be either Visa fraud attempts or internet router scams. It’s all just cover for fraud, and people are getting off with lighter penalties. Seriously, when are they gonna do something to stop this rise in scams? It’s getting out of hand!

I got a call saying my line will be cut off soon unless I press 1 to keep everything running smoothly.

Got calls almost everyday from some auto voice about money transfers, like Visa or Western Union. Feels like a new twist on that internet router scam that’s been going around. I just hang up straightaway, but honestly, it’s getting a bit much. Nearly all the landline calls I get these days turn out to be scams, it’s ridiculous.

I just received a call claiming that £600 has been withdrawn from my account. Honestly, I'm fed up with these dodgy scam calls. On top of that, I've been inundated with calls from people saying that BT is going to sever my internet connection. Problem is, I don't even use BT! What complete muppets.

Yea that number rings my phone all the time but I’m done with all the annoying calls now so I just let it ring out on my home phone.

I've been receiving incessant calls claiming that a sum of £6,000 has been withdrawn from my account, which is simply not the case. These pestering calls have been coming through for several weeks now, often from different numbers. It's becoming quite tiresome!

I received a rather alarming call informing me that a sum of £600 had been sent from my Visa account to Western Union. They urged me to press any digit to connect with an operator to supposedly cancel the transaction. I decided against revealing my name or any personal details, which seemed to aggravate them quite a bit.

I picked up the phone only to be greeted by a robotic voice informing me that a whopping £600 had been deducted from my Visa account through Western Union. It prompted me to press a certain number to chat with someone about this so-called payment approval. I swiftly ended the call; it’s clearly a scam. I've now blocked the number - caller ID: 02086387505.

I've come across various remarks from others who’ve experienced similar issues, and I can certainly relate! I've been receiving calls every couple of days with alarming messages about money supposedly being withdrawn from my bank account or sent through Western Union.

I’ve been getting loads of calls from different numbers saying my internet’s been hacked or something. They want me to press 1 to speak to an advisor.

When will these awful scammers finally be nabbed? They tried to pretend they were from the VISA team at my bank. They've got my name, address, and obviously my number too. They told me that in just fifteen minutes, £600 would be taken out of my account "internationally" and said it was a potential "fraud". To stop it, they insisted they had to verify I was the real card owner by giving them my "full card number". Of course, as soon as I started explaining what a total scumbag he was, he just hung up.

This number has called me three times so far. Two of the times, they left voicemails but only half of the message came through, something about a card charge. When I picked up the call just now, the caller was rambling about changing my IP address. I've gone ahead and blocked the number now.

Got a voicemail warning me my internet would be disconnected in a day or two because they said my IP address was hacked. They told me to press 1 to talk to a “technician” - yeah right! Then an hour after, another message popped up, rambling about overseas charges or something, telling me to press 1 to verify the payment. Nope, no way am I falling for that. Definitely a scam and that number’s blocked for good now.

I received an automated call indicating that my internet service would be terminated within either 24 or 48 hours due to a compromise of my IP address. They prompted me to press 1 to connect with a technician, as if I’d fall for that! A follow-up message arrived shortly after, rambling on about expenditures overseas. They expected me to press 1 to verify a transaction-no way I'm doing that! Clearly, this is one tenacious scam attempt, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number.

They keep ringing me saying it’s from Visa bank, so I told the fraud department about it. Then they called again, this time claiming to be from British Telecom. The bloke on the phone was really cheeky, telling me I need a teacher to learn English even though I’m a proper British person and speak perfectly fine! It’s definitely a scam. If you get calls from these kinds of numbers, just ignore them or be firm with them. They usually pretend there’s an issue with your internet. Don’t share any personal info and stay cautious!
