I've been inundated with yet another wave of utterly bothersome calls and messages from complete nuisances! It feels like the number just keeps growing, and I'm thoroughly fed up with it!

Received a text saying that these folks tried to call and are eager to speak with us urgently. Oddly, there weren’t any missed calls.

Received a text from them saying that these individuals had tried to get in touch with us and it was crucial that we speak with them today. The reference number is 110997. Seems to be just like what others have reported!

It’s quite evident that these individuals must be in a tight spot if they’ve resorted to such measures. One might hope that the incessant messages will cease before long, perhaps once their finances dwindle to nothing.

I’ve just received the same message once again. What’s the best way to get rid of these pesky spam texts?

Without a doubt, this is a scam. The reference number 110997 is exactly the same as what was given for Scotty, Emma, and Pedro.

Absolutely, we're in the same boat! Please, just get rid of it ;O)

Earlier today, I received a text message indicating that these individuals were eager to have a conversation with us, and it seemed quite urgent. Interestingly, the reference number matched what several of you mentioned: 110997.

I recently received a call from this number, and I had no idea who it was. After looking it up on this website, I discovered that it’s linked to several complaints from others. It's a relief to know I'm not the only one. Happy to have found this platform - it’s been quite helpful!

Received a text message from them saying these folks had tried to get in touch and it was crucial we had a word with them today. Reference number 110997. Seems to be the same as what others have reported too.

Reply to them with a firm message - something like, "Look, you've already got my number, so do us both a favour and do one! I'm fed up with these pestering calls. All the best, by the way, I’m really baffled as to why we can’t just block these nuisances on our so-called ‘smart’ phones. It's suspicious how easily the mobile network folks seem to hand out our details!"

Just got a nearly identical text message about four hours back, and it really gave me the heebie-jeebies! 😟 What on earth is this scam about, though? Anyone else been targeted by this?

I just received the same kind of message, which read: “IMPORTANT! We've attempted to reach you, and it's crucial that we speak with you today. Kindly call 0445715196 and mention your reference number 110997.” After getting in touch with the Information Commissioner’s Office, I found out they couldn't provide any assistance. The gentleman I spoke to mentioned it was quite alarming but pointed out that the wording of the message was so meticulously crafted that it slipped through the cracks of their jurisdiction. It’s absolutely appalling that they can operate this way. What about all the unsuspecting individuals who might think it’s genuine and end up ringing the number, only to face endless ringing with no one ever answering? Meanwhile, they’re racking up charges left, right, and centre!

I’ve had a similar experience, receiving the exact same message along with the same reference number. One must wonder what they gain from this, and how on earth they managed to obtain my mobile number in the first place? Curious, isn't it?

I'm convinced that BT could easily put an end to these sorts of con artists, yet they choose not to. It seems to me that they might be benefiting financially in some way from these dubious dealings.

Kudos for setting up a platform for us to exchange such details.

If only we had the chance to bill them for all the hours we've wasted handling this nonsense...

I got a message from 07463587485, stating, "Urgent: We have attempted to get in touch with you... reference number 110997." It’s just another one of those marketing ploys. If you ring them back, you can bet your bottom dollar they won’t pick up, but you’ll end up staring at a whopping charge on your phone bill for dialing their premium rate number. Best to steer clear!
13 years
Absolutely - it’s all too familiar...
What’s the benefit for them?
Do they rake in a slice of the call charges, or is there more to it than that?
13 years
Does anyone know who handles the billing for this number?

URGENT! We’ve made several attempts to get in touch with you, and it’s really crucial that we speak with you today. Please ring 0445715196 and have your reference 110997 ready when you do.

If there’s an issue with the bill arriving, the individual responsible for the call’s billing could be up to no good. I reckon we ought to band together and take action against whoever registered this number. Flooding Ofcom with a thousand emails (and cc’ing your local MP) should certainly get their attention.

As a starting suggestion, if a message prompts a response to a number that incurs charges, then the sender’s name and address should definitely be made clear.

I'm quite familiar with how to manage these situations, but my wife and kids might not be as savvy, and in my absence, they could easily be duped by such scams. Additionally, my elderly parents tend to get anxious when they receive messages like these. It would be greatly appreciated if a solution could be found to put an end to this sort of nuisance.

I received a message from that very same number. ALERT! We've made several attempts to reach you, and it's crucial we have a conversation today. Kindly ring 0445715196, referencing 110997.

Is this situation common for all? It's high time that the government introduces some regulations concerning these unsolicited calls that lead folks to expensive numbers.

I've received identical messages from that same number, complete with the reference ID 110997.

I've now added it to my block list on my iPhone.

I received a call from this number, but I unfortunately missed it. Shortly after, I got a text message from +447463558123 stating that "it is essential we have a conversation with you today." They provided a number to ring back, which is 084457151196, along with a reference number. I'm guessing this is some sort of marketing spiel, but the way the message was written has left me rather uneasy. As an older chap, I find the whole thing a bit daunting, to be honest.

I just experienced the identical scenario mentioned by everyone else. Received a call from the same number and got asked for the same reference number for a quote. I've promptly added this number to my blocked contacts and cleared the messages. Whatever you do, steer clear of these calls!
13 years
This number reeks of a scam, especially since everyone seems to be quoting the identical reference number, 110997. Isn’t it about time the authorities-be it the government or the police-took action against these bothersome calls? Not to mention those relentless PPI nuisances! Surely, if there was genuine will, they could cut off these numbers outright. After all, the call has to traverse multiple exchanges before reaching the intended recipient; blocking it shouldn’t be rocket science! One can’t help but speculate if there's something more sinister at play-could it be that there's a hidden agenda? It's enough to raise an eyebrow!

Here we go once more... identical reference!!! No need for concern; they’ll surely end up being whisked away by enigmatic extraterrestrials for some rather invasive examinations...

Without a doubt, this reeks of either spam or a scam. Those 0844 numbers are premium rate, and it’s likely they keep you hanging on the line for ages before disconnecting, all the while cashing in on the call. It’s not just me noticing; it appears many others have been assigned the exact same reference number, 110997, which surely raises alarm bells about its legitimacy. Responding to their messages might also end up costing you more money. Best bet? Just steer clear, and make sure to label this number in your phone as a scam or fraudulent contact to avoid any further hassle.
