5 yearsI received a voicemail mentioning something about Northern Wales and my National Insurance number. I opted not to return the call, as I have a system that automatically blocks any numbers not stored in my contacts.Northern WalesNational Insurance5 yearsMy phone keeps buzzing with calls, but as soon as I pick up, they just cut off. Then I get a voicemail asking me to call them back about my national insurance number. It's really suspicious.5 yearsI got a call from this number saying there was some fraud with my NI number. It was one of those automated messages.National Insurance5 yearsI got calls from this number 020 8851 5588 twice in a row on my business phone. It was really quick and felt just like the calls I had on Monday. Seems like it could be 02 trying to reach mobile users who aren’t under contract anymore.5 yearsI keep getting calls from different 0208 numbers like 0208 8851 5588, 020 8863 9763, and 0208 7483 1959. They ring me, but as soon as I pick up, they just hang up. I've blocked all these numbers, but they must have loads of them because the calls keep coming from new ones.

When I pressed it, a woman picked up, sounded caught off guard and asked why I’d done that. She clearly wasn’t ready for me. So I told her I thought it was a scam and hung up, then blocked the number. If these scammers get better at sounding convincing, they could easily fool some folks, which worries me a lot.5 yearsMy wife’s phone has been getting about ten calls over the past couple days, all coming from a London landline.
