I’ve experienced the same situation with the very same 0844 number, but it came through a mobile on +44 7463 146875. Interestingly, the reference was just like what everyone else has been reporting.

According to the Ofcom site, this number falls within the Virgin range. I suggest lodging a complaint with Virgin; they should be able to sort it out and have the number suspended.

I received a call from this number claiming that they had made several attempts to get in touch with us and insisted I provide a reference number. The recording mentioned that all agents were busy at that very moment!

Absolutely spot on. Just to clarify, we've got a reference number as well. It's definitely a bit dodgy, innit?

A total rip-off, if you ask me!

Blimey! Just received a text claiming that certain individuals have been trying to reach out to me urgently. Quite frankly, that's not the case at all! They want me to give them a bell, mentioning some reference number? What a farce!

I've received a similar experience. There’s another number to call back. We steer clear of those 084** numbers on our mobiles; they tend to be quite pricey. It feels like a scam to me.

Why are these wrongdoers not being apprehended? Is it possible that the phone company receives a portion of the proceeds?

Once again, we encounter these individuals seeking to deceive and defraud others. Their methods of scamming vary, but we must not falter in our condemnation of their actions. Such individuals deserve no respect or sympathy.

Received a message stating that they have made multiple attempts to reach me and urging me to give them a call, along with a provided reference number. However, considering the absence of any identifiable sender information, I am hesitant to respond.

I received a text message instructing me to call a specific number. The message mentioned that it was important for someone to speak with me. However, when I dialed the number from my landline, as soon as I was put on hold, I abruptly ended the call. It is likely that these individuals were scammers trying to exploit unsuspecting victims by keeping them on hold, which could lead to excessive charges on their phone bills. I firmly believe that efforts should be made to trace and penalize these scammers. They should not only be held accountable by facing fines or imprisonment, but they should also be obligated to reimburse all call costs and compensate for any additional damages caused by the unwanted panic they incited.

I've also received a similar message, requesting me to contact them immediately. I have my doubts about its authenticity.

I also received one recently, and at the moment I am on the phone trying to figure out where they obtained my number. I'll keep you informed.
