I got a legit call from NI Direct, they were following up about a call I’d made to them. It was a survey asking for some feedback.

Got a call from a woman who said she was following up on my recent enquiry and asked if I could answer a few questions about how the call went. Felt a bit dodgy to me, like it might be a scam.

Got a call just once and then it cut off. When I tried ringing back, a voice with a thick Northern Irish accent answered and said, “No services on this line.” Seems pretty dodgy, probably a scam.

Some bloke who calls himself Darren rang me, claiming he was from Northern Ireland's Department of Finance. He told me I'd missed a compulsory survey and wanted to know when I'd get it done. So, I tried ringing back the number he gave, but it just went straight to a message saying no services available on that line. I also shot off emails to a few government departments, and they confirmed the number wasn’t real and the survey isn’t actually compulsory. I reckon it was a dodgy phishing call.

I called the government dept about blue badges and after that, they rang me back for what sounded like a proper survey. Felt pretty legit to me.

Got a call from DOF regarding their Quarterly Business Surveys - seemed legit.

A few days ago, I called the coroner's office to take part in a feedback survey about the service I'd gotten from HM's coroner. Everything felt pretty normal, no red flags or anything dodgy.

Got a call from this number saying I needed to fill out a survey for my business or I’d get hit with a £2000 fine. They said the survey was mandatory, but I can't find anything about it online. The person on the phone said they'd send the survey via email, but no email has come through. Seems dodgy to me, like a scam, or if it's legit, then the government just trying to squeeze more money out of people. Either way, smells fishy.

I got a phone call this morning, and when I attempted to return it, I was met with a message saying, "there are no services available for this number." My phone has a call-blocking feature, so it only rang once before cutting off. I've gone ahead and blocked the number for good measure!

Saw a missed call from this number earlier. Does anyone know who it might be?

I saw a missed call from this number and decided to ring it back, but it just said there was no reply from the number at the moment. Strange.

The Northern Ireland Department of Finance appears to be making outgoing calls exclusively. It’s worth noting that if you try to ring this number, you’ll simply hear a recorded message saying, “No services are currently available on this line,” before the call gets abruptly cut off. Quite frustrating, really!

I just received a call from this number and gave them a ring back. Did they end up calling you back, or did you manage to figure out who was behind it?

This number called me once earlier. When I tried ringing back, the answerphone said something like "no services available on this number." Quite odd.
