On Saturday morning, a bit after 8, I got a call from 02893321852. An accent that didn’t sound local was on the other end, a woman who wanted to speak to the person who lives here. She then launched into asking about kitchen storage stuff for the house. I was polite but told her to leave me alone!

I got a call from 02897080066 but I didn't pick up. They never left any voicemail or anything. After looking it up, I found out it's linked to those debt scam calls.

Just got calls from two numbers, one starting 0289 and the other 07731 - total scammy vibes! Stay clear, looks like a trick.

This number buzzed me a few times, all the calls had someone speaking with an Indian or Pakistani accent. I ended up telling them to "get lost, you scammer."

I got a call from +44 2890008792 saying it was about debt consolidation. Since I don't owe anything, I told them not to ring me anymore and ended the call. I've also blocked that number now.

I reckon this number might just be one of those dodgy calls originating from Northern Ireland. Best not to pick up or engage with them at all. Stay safe!

Got a call from 020890805932 saying it was about some Visa debt charge. It was all automated and kept telling me to press a button for a fraud check. Sounds like one of those billing scams to me, watch out!

Theyre so bloody persistent, I just end up ignoring them every time.

I got a ring from 0289 060 0060 the other day, but I can’t remember what company they said they were with. They said they could knock up to 40% off my Orange bill, sounded a bit fishy. When I told them I’d expect Orange themselves to get in touch if that was true, they just ended the call straight away.

I usually get scam calls but this one was different, the caller was really agressive and quite disrespectful towards me.

Don't bother with those energy scams, just end the call right away. They're total time wasters.

Received a call from O### ### earlier today, showing up as Ballynahinch in Northern Ireland! 😂 I didn't utter a word, and then they just hung up. Be cautious, folks-sounds like a scam!

Had a ring today from 0289###, apparently hailing from Ballynahinch in Northern Ireland. Quite amusing, really! 😂 I didn't utter a word, and they hung up in a jiffy. Just a heads-up, folks-definitely watch out for potential scams!

This morning, I received a call from 0289### claiming to be from Virgin Media. I can tell you, it’s definitely a scam! Just a fortnight ago, I nearly fell victim to a similar ruse. The moment I requested some verification and my Virgin account number, they ended the call in a hurry. Honestly, it feels like we’re inundated with these cons!

I've received two calls from 0289###, both times exactly two months apart-once on the 7th of August and then again on the 7th of October. Curiously, my phone didn't ring at all, nor did I find any voicemail messages left. Quite the peculiar situation!

As an elderly woman, I was quite startled by a call that disturbed my slumber. There was no one on the other end, and it's utterly maddening to have my valuable rest time squandered like that!

I received a call from this number, and all I heard was 'hello, hello' before they abruptly cut off. When I attempted to return the call, I was met with a message saying the line was no longer in service. Seems like it’s a blocked number. Strange!

This number keeps giving me a call. I picked up the phone on one occasion, but as soon as I did, the line went silent.

It flagged up as a possible scam. I didn't pick up, but I thought if they were genuinely trying to reach me, they’d have left a message. I’d recommend to others to give it a miss and not engage.

As soon as I picked up the call, it just cut off.
