I asked about bitcoin online and when I told them to remove my info, the bloke on the other end just said no and told me to enjoy all the calls I’ll be getting. Since then, I’ve had like 30 calls. Every time I block one number, they just ring from a different one. It’s so annoying!

Just got a call a little while ago from this number. The person claimed to be from some finance company and asked how I was. I told them not to ring me again and asked them to end the call, but they said they couldn't. I mentioned that I work in a bank call centre and that agents can definitely end calls, which seemed to annoy him, and after a bit he just hung up.

I received a call from a firm named BFI Investments. They inquired whether I had any interest in cryptocurrency...

Interestingly, it appears they previously handled PPI claims as well. It's almost as if they dabble in a bit of everything, doesn’t it? Haha!

Chances are, it’s probably just another dodgy scam call.

This seems to be connected to some sort of Bitcoin trading firm. I started filling out an application by accident but didn’t finish it, however they somehow got my phone number. I’ve been getting around 15 calls every day ever since (thankfully it’s easing off a bit now). I never pick up, but they still leave voicemails that I have to pay to listen to or delete.

Got a call from this number but I was already using my landline, so I just declined it. They rang again straight away so I ended up switching my phone off ‘cos my landline call was more important. I’ll block them now as I’m not bothered by whatever they’re selling. Funny thing is, I saw someone else got calls from this number after checking the Go Compare site, and I did use that site recently too.

I think they're up to no good with some sketchy trading, and it's like they already knew I have some crypto coins.

Some bloke was going on about some investment stuff. Definitely a dodgy scam if you ask me!

I got a call from a woman with an accent, speaking really nicely and asking how I was doing. She mentioned something about trading, but I just ended the call.

This number has called me a few times already. I ignored it every time. After seeing how many messages they’ve left, I’m definitely going to block it.

I got a call from this number earlier but didn’t pick up. No message was left either. After seeing what others said about it, I’ve decided to block it now.

Tried calling this number today but it was blocked right away. I don't know anyone from London, so this seems odd. Feels like companies or advertisers are just passing around phone numbers without consent.

Got a call from this number asking if I was [name], which is just a fake name I use online, not my actual one. They launched into some chat about making money in the financial markets. I told them to explain who they were, how they even found my info, and reminded them my name isn’t real. They got a bit nasty and I just told them to shove off before hanging up. Then, the same number called me right back, actually wanting an apology! Seems like a typical scammer trick to ring you again, right?!

They've rung me a couple of times recently, but I just didn't answer either time. After that, I ended up blocking the number. Cheers for the assistance!

Somebody rang from what they said was the British Financial Institute or BFI, trying to chat about some ‘investment opportunities.’ I told them straight away I’m not interested in offers from random cold callers and that usually means it’s a scam. They tried to convince me it wasn’t, with some quick tech talk, but I just ended the call.

I picked up but there was nothing but silence on the other side. Ended up hanging up and blocked the number straight away. Looked it up here and seems like quite a few others are getting calls like this too.

Kept ringing but I never picked up, tried to block it but it’s still coming through so far.
