I nearly got caught up in one of those scams.

+44 843 980 0142 I must have received over fifty pestering calls from this number or something akin to it. Each time I manage to block them, they simply ring me from yet another line. Honestly, I wish whoever is behind this would just leave me be and refrain from calling again.

I received a recorded message claiming I had won a £2000 prize. Just a heads up, the number starts with 0843, which means calling it will cost you a premium rate. Honestly, there’s no prize to be had; it’s clearly a scam. Don't be fooled by this!

Spam call again!

Luckily I didnt pick up, but I’m on a pay as u go plan so that coulda been a waste of credit!

I got ripped off, picked up the phone and now there's a charge for 2 hours 8 minutes at a premium rate. Vodafone weren't much use, just said I must've made the call myself. I asked them to look into it and after 3 more calls and a bit of a row, they kept saying I dialled it because their system can’t be wrong, or so some Vodafone rep from South Africa told me. Looks like I’ll have to escalate this.

Vodafone promised to give back £39.94 for a call I never made on 17th Feb. I’m still on the phone with them now because I haven’t got that refund yet. The number was 08439800142 but it’s not even showing up in my call history. Watch your bills and direct debits carefully, don’t let yourself get ripped off.

I've just received my monthly mobile bill, and blimey, it came to a staggering £233 for just one month! Typically, I only pay about £77 for all three of our phones combined. Upon taking a closer look, I discovered that a call from 08439800142 on 25th January 2016-one that we didn’t even pick up-had the audacity to go to voicemail for a whopping 4 hours and 59 minutes, racking up a bill of £124! I've reported this to Vodafone and they’ve escalated the matter to their refund team. Fingers crossed I get my money back! I've also blocked that troublesome number on all three devices. I highly recommend everyone else to take the same precaution. Do spread the word to your mates and family!

I've recently received a bill indicating that I made a call to this number, which has resulted in a charge of £7.59. However, upon attempting to ring the number myself, I was informed that it doesn't actually exist. Very perplexing!

Somehow my 72 year old husband ended up with a £60 charge from Three. I popped into their store and was told it was a scam. The assistant advised me to call Three directly, and they were quite helpful, taking off £50 from the bill. It did take a bit of patience, but in the end, the rep got approval from her boss to cut the charge by £50. After seeing all these comments, I have to admit Three actually came through for us.

Hey all, got a call from 0843 980 0142 on 28 Jan 2016, ringing from 7pm till 10pm - 3 hours straight and ended up costing me £90.95. Rang Vodafone today and they’re looking into it, said they’ll get back in 48 hours. Anyone else had this happen? That day was a Thursday and I was busy with the kids, so no way I was on the phone that long. Vodafone suggested maybe I left the phone on by accident. Honestly, what a joke.

Just spotted this on my bill, I never rang or picked up this number but Vodaphone charged me £39.94. I'd say avoid this number, it's definitely a scam. Normally I never bother with calls like these, sick to death of all the PPI ones and similar rubbish.

Got a voicemail saying to ring 123 to get an "Answer Phone message" coz my phone was off (which I usually keep off when not using it). Pretty obvious this is dodgy, coz if it was legit, there’d be a message on Orange’s voicemail, right? Looked it up here and yep, definitely a scam!

Blimey, I’ve just been hit with an enormous bill from EE, and I’m absolutely baffled to discover two calls to this number that lasted over two hours each on the same day! I’ve never picked up any calls from them, nor have I ever dialled that number myself! I’ve contacted EE about it, and they’re looking into the matter. It’s really quite puzzling how this could have occurred!

What really grinds my gears is that these scammers are getting our details from firms we thought we could trust, who instead sell our stuff to dodgy people just to make some cash.

They keep ringing a school's number loads of times every day. When I pick up, they say they're from Talbot Finance, but usually just cut me off once I start answering coz they obviously cant trick me. We've told them loads of times it's a school phone, but they just give the same old line about "removing us from their list" and keep calling anyway.

I attempted to return the call, but to no avail; the number appears to be unreachable, with a recorded message stating that calls to this number cannot be completed.

These calls showed up on my wife's phone bill twice, each about 2 hours long and she definitely didn't make them. We got hit with £94 in charges. I contacted EE and Ofcom, and they reckon it’s fraud since loads of others have said the same thing. Still no sign of a refund though. The calls seem to come from numbers that are pretty much the same except for the last three digits.
