I received a text just now saying to call 084457177 and quoting reference 114520. I reckon this must be a scam.

Could anyone tell me who this number belongs to? I'm really curious!

Hi there, I've been trying to reach you as it was really important for me to have a chat with you earlier today. Please get in touch when you can!

I've received the same message as everyone else, complete with the exact ringback number and reference code. Just dial 08445715177 and mention 114520!

We've experienced the same thing recently. Out of the blue, we received a call that made us think it could be quite significant. However, something didn't sit right, so we stumbled upon this site. Hats off to platforms like these!

I recently received a text from the mobile number 07463518486, requesting that I get in touch regarding the aforementioned number, which was mentioned alongside another one. To me, this all appears to be a rather suspicious scam of sorts.

Oh crikey! I nearly forgot to mention that this number +447463542954 came with my mobile.

I received a text from the number +447463537823, but when I tried calling it, I was met with a voicemail. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!

I recently received a message from the number 00447463542954, claiming that certain individuals had tried to get in touch with us. They urged me to call 08445715177. Seems like a dodgy scam to me, seeing as we have absolutely no idea who they could be!

I was on the line for merely four seconds before being placed on hold. It’s got to be a scam, hasn’t it?

Had a call from this number earlier today claiming to have something crucial to discuss and even gave us a reference number. When I tried to return the call, there was no answer. Seems like a proper scam to me!

I received a call from +447463537823. They suggested I ring 08445715177 and mention the number 114520. The recorded voice mentioned something about MNS, but I'm completely baffled. Anyone have an idea who this might be?
13 years
Same situation for me. I received a text from 07463577238 as well. The message was exactly the same: "I need to speak with you urgently. Please call 08445715177 and mention the reference 114520.”
13 years
Got a message saying I needed to call back right away. Fell for it and rang a premium line, no idea how much it'll cost me. Why don’t mobile networks just block these numbers? It’s so annoying!

I just got that exact message, with the same number and reference too! Cheers Google for the heads up, but no way I’m calling them back!

Got a message from +447456825193 that just said 'ATTENTION'. They mentioned they’ve been trying to reach me and that it’s urgent to talk today. Asked me to ring 08445715177 and give reference 79910. Bit suspicious if you ask me.
13 years
Just like everyone else seems to say, they wanted to chat today but kept me waiting forever. So frustrating!

I had pretty much the same thing happen - missed a call from +447456825193 then got a text saying “URGENT! We attempted to reach you, it’s important we talk today. Please ring 08445715177 with your reference 799810. Thanks.” Seriously, when will the right people do something about these dodgy scammers? It’s really annoying.

Received this number's text out of nowhere. Looked it up and, like many have said, it’s a scam. Providers really ought to do more to block these kind of rubbish calls!

About an hour ago, I got a message from the same number and with the exact same text.

This number just sent me a random text out of nowhere: "URGENT! We've been trying to reach you, it's really important we talk today. Please ring 08445715177 and mention reference 799810. Thanks." Does anyone know how to block or stop these annoying messages?
13 years
Just got a text saying "URGENT! We've attempted to reach you. It's vital we talk to you today. Ring 08445715177 and mention reference 799810. Cheers."

Luckily, I Googled the number first and definitely won’t be calling back. The dodgy grammar made me doubt it straight away.

Really wish there was some way to teach these scammers a lesson. They’re such w*****s!

My daughter has been getting loads of texts with the same message, like "Tried to call you today, it's important, please get back to us." When she finally tries ringing the number, it just says all operators are busy and to wait for one to be free. Feels totally like a scam to me.

Got a message at 1:38pm on 9th Nov and almost rang straight away, but thought I’d better look it up online first. Really pleased I did - they asked me for reference number 799810.

Today, 9th November 2013, I got this message saying: IMPORTANT! We’ve been trying to reach you - it’s urgent that we talk today. Ring 08445715177 and mention reference 799810. Cheers. The sender’s number was +447456819258. I looked this number up here before doing anything and based on the comments, I’m not planning to call it at all.

My lad got this message saying someone would ring back after calling from a landline. Still waiting now and I’m convinced it’s a scam, reference number 799810. The hold music’s alright but definitely don’t get caught out by it!

Just got this same message myself... luckily I found this site first, so I didn't fall for it. 25p a minute and when you call, they leave you hanging. These scammers are beyond annoying.

Absolute scam! Avoid this number like the plague. Seriously, does anyone know how they even got hold of my number? Would love to find out so I can give them a proper piece of my mind... or worse!

You should report scams through the website WWW.ICO.org.UK. They also send you a text code you can forward to your network provider at 7726. I tried it and got a reply straightaway, so it’s definitely worth doing. We need to put an end to scammers making money from us.

I got a call from this number and decided to ring it back. They say their name is MMS or something like that. Honestly, I haven’t got a clue who they are, and I’m staying clear of them because it just feels dodgy, probably some kind of scam.

Got the same message earlier and when I rang them back, they just left me waiting on the line.

About an hour ago I got a call from the exact same mobile number, 07456875159. They were using the very same reference number too, 799810, and saying exactly what you described.

Got a weird message from +4407456820863 saying it’s urgent to contact them today with some ref number 799810 or summat. The text was totally anonymous, and I didn’t recognise the number at all. Seems dodgy to me. My advice: just don’t bother. SCAM SCAM SCAM!
13 years
I received a message saying "URGENT. We've been trying to reach you. It's really important to speak with you today. Please ring 08445715177 and mention reference 114520. Thanks." This came from a different phone, +447463555126. My partner got the exact same message a few days earlier. When he called back, it just went to an answerphone, so he ended the call quick. Fingers crossed it didn't end up costing him a fortune.

got a text on me phone sayin "urgent call, please get back to us today, mention this ref number" or sumthin like that.. so i phoned back but then stuck on hold forever, costin me 25p a min! total rip off, watch out everyone! CON artists for sure!

This number sent me a text, so I called and chatted for about 10 minutes before they just dropped the call. Such a rude way to behave.
13 years
It's terrible how many elderly people are getting scammed like this. I really don't see why it’s not banned already. Surely the phone companies could step in and do something to prevent it, unless they’re making a profit from these calls themselves. It's just not right.
13 years
Got a message from 07463555126 right after I had a call from a blocked number, both seem dodgy to me. The text said 'URGENT call this number 08445715177' - definitely feels like one of those PPI spam tries. Pretty sure they’re connected somehow, just jumping from call to text. Total spam in my book.
13 years
Just got the message like 5 minutes ago myself.
13 years
Received a message saying they urgently need to get in touch with me today, asking me to ring 08445715177 and mention reference 114520. I called back but just got an answerphone from some company called NMS. Weirdly, that ref number 114520 is almost identical to another one linked to me. Came across this website, decided to just hang up. Honestly hope those cheats end up behind bars.

Got a text earlier today that felt off. Usually, if someone really wants to chat, they don't hide who they are. So, I looked up the number online and sure enough, it was what I suspected. Deleted it straight away.

They're just sitting there having a laugh while we're handing over cash like mugs! Honestly, feels like they're taking the mick out of us.

Got a message that looked dodgy to me. The reference number was identical no matter who you are, which screams scam! The text said something like: "PLEASE NOTE! We've attempted to reach you. It's urgent we chat today. Ring 08445715177 and mention ref 114520. Cheers." Definitely not legit in my opinion.

just received a call saying "quoting your ref 114520" or something like that, sounds dodgy if you ask me... feels like one of those scams!!

I’ve been getting loads of calls where they leave voicemails with some made-up reference number, telling me to get back to them ASAP. When I tried ringing back, it was just one of those robots saying all agents were busy and to wait. The hold music was unbearable as well. Proper annoying!

At first I figured it was my phone company ringing, so I dialed them back. But then a weird robocall came on telling me to wait, and I just hung up straight away. I’m kinda worried now if that call charged me anything. Luckily, I checked online and found out it was probably a scam. Thank goodness for Google!
