So this number claims to be Microsoft support, but when I rang, no one would say what company they were from. When I pressed them, they suddenly said they were Apple. It's definitely a scam - they try to get access to your laptop and then expect you to keep calling them. Avoid for sure!

Got a call from 0800 047 8389 claiming to be from the council and some official site. Sounded really legit at first. They were offering free repairs, but I already have that sorted. They were pretty pushy and didn’t want to let me hang up. Had to just end the call abruptly.

On the 26th of October, 2021, I received a rather peculiar phone call from someone claiming they could oversee all necessary reparations on my property without charge, asserting that council tenants shouldn't incur any costs. Upon clarifying that I was, in fact, a homeowner, he hastily insisted that he could still assist me. When I mentioned my husband’s profession as a builder who handles our repairs, his tone shifted dramatically. He abruptly told me to stop wasting his valuable time and then hung up on me! Clearly, he wasn’t too fond of the facts!

I received a call from this number at 09:49 this morning, but as soon as I picked up, they disconnected. I've experienced a number of similar calls lately; they always seem to terminate the line as soon as I respond. It feels like they're banking on my natural curiosity to get me to return the call, but that’s certainly not going to happen.

This number has rung me loads of times, along with one from Bolton. I kept ignoring and blocking them, but they just keep trying from another number. Proper sick of all these scam calls now, even my landline’s getting hit!

Just like what loads of others mentioned, the info out there tells us that this number - along with some others that are dodgy - belongs to a chap called Stuart David Wright, who stays at 21A Plymouth Road, Barnt Green, Birmingham, B45 8JF. Makes sense he’s got a posh place worth a bomb, considering all the scams he’s pulling!

Been getting loads of calls lately from someone claiming to be a "money advisor". Surely they’ve broken GDPR by sharing my details without asking me first, cause I never gave them permission to use my number or name. Feels like a scam to me.

Got a call about a housing survey for council or housing association tenants. Just a heads up, they already knew my name, address, and phone number. I’d recommend not sharing any details with them.
