I’ve just received a text from these people, and I can’t help but think it’s a scam.

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.

Received the exact same message, albeit from the number 08445715193.

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!

Given that your information aligns with mine, it seems only reasonable to deduce that this might be a scam.

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 just received a message that mirrors precisely what everyone else has been saying - it definitely seems dodgy to me.

I’ve noticed that I’ve got the exact same reference number as a lot of others, which leads me to believe this might be a scam. I can’t help but wonder how these individuals manage to rest easy at night!

I've received a text urging me to call back, mentioning a reference number. However, I’ve never received a call from this number, nor any of these 0844 numbers that they’re requesting us to ring. Quite perplexed, to say the least!

We’ve experienced the same thing! Same phone number and the exact same reference, which surely points to a scam, doesn't it?

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.

According to Ofcom's site, the number comes under Virgin's range. You should contact Virgin directly and report it, they might be able to shut the number off. The 08445 series is assigned to Virgin Media Wholesale Limited, with specific allocations like 4.255ppm (g6 and p27).

Just got a message from this number asking me to ring them back with some reference code. Seems like a total scam to me. Can someone get this number blocked quickly please?

Got an urgent text saying someone needed to talk to me right away! So I rang them back, but all I got was being stuck on hold for ages. Honestly, these scammers are just a pain and deserve to be dealt with properly!

Loads of folk have said this is a scam. They leave a message like, "IMPORTANT! We've been attempting to reach you. It's really important we talk today. Please ring 08445715185 and mention reference 399877. Cheers."

I didn’t pick up because I figured it was some kind of scam. Now I’m not sure if I should try to report it. Might tell my phone company, EE or T-Mobile, see if they can do anything about it! Hopefully that helps.

Heads up! They’ve been ringing me nonstop saying it’s urgent I get back to them today. They want me to ring 08445715185 and mention reference 399877. Cheers.

Thing is, calling 0844 numbers costs you, so it’s a sneaky way to charge.

Why do these scams still go on? Feels like the phone companies might be cashing in on it too, letting it slide.

Got the same text here… best to just block it out and not bother with it!

Watch out for those 0844 numbers, they charge you loads. Best to just hang up, it's dodgy and definitely a scam.

Just received a message claiming they’ve been trying to get hold of me, asking me to ring back with a reference number included. No clue who they are, so I’m not bothering to call.

Got a text telling me to call this number urgently, so I phoned it from my landline. As soon as they put me on hold, I hung up straight away. It’s obvious scammers trying to keep you waiting so they can rip you off with huge call charges. They really need to be tracked down, fined or even locked up, and made to pay back everyone’s costs along with compensation for the stress they cause.

Just got a call from this number now, and I'm currently chatting with them to figure out how they managed to get my contact details. I'll update you once I know more.
