3 yearsI got a call from a bloke saying my credit card payment was on hold. He had my name and where I live, which freaked me out a bit. Before I could give anything away, my son jumped in and cut the call off. Glad we didn’t share any details!3 yearsSomebody called pretending to be from my card provider and asked for my online login details. I got suspicious so I phoned the card company straight away, and they told me it was a scam. Definitely a dodgy call!3 yearsCredit card fraud alert! This is a shifty, risky, and deceitful operation.3 yearsI received a call claiming my Barclay card had been frozen due to some unusual activity. They requested a portion of my card number, but I decided against providing it and chose to call them back instead. Instead, I contacted the fraud department using the number listed on my card. To my relief, they confirmed that no one from their office had tried to reach out to me!8 yearsIf you’ve fallen for this scam and ended up losing money, make sure you report it to Action Fraud. The scammers utilise different phone numbers each time. To assist with their investigations, send a detailed email to: [email protected], including when you got the call, the number that showed up, and what was said during the call.Action Fraud8 yearsI received a voicemail from HMRC claiming it was urgent and needed an immediate reply.

Total scam, watch out!DennisHMRC8 yearsI just got a call from someone called Dennis pretending to be from HMRC - total scam!HMRC8 yearsThese robocall scammers still need to learn their craft. I just had a robotic female voice claiming to be from ‘HMRC’ tell me to ring a specific number right away - she repeated it twice for good measure. Then she ended with “Prepare for the legal consequences. Take care and goodbye.” Honestly, if I could give a tip to whoever made this script, it’d be to drop the “take care” right after threatening legal trouble, otherwise it just sounds odd and not very intimidating.HMRC8 yearsI picked up the phone as it was ringing, but it just cut off right after one ring.
