Had a similar experience here. Received a text but no calls to speak of.

We've received the exact same text message from a mobile number, yet there haven't been any missed calls to report.

I got a rather curious text that read, "URGENT! We've made several attempts to reach you, and it’s crucial we have a word today. Please ring 08445715197 and mention your reference 110880. Cheers." Strangely, there were no missed calls on my device. The message originated from 07456 780013. Upon dialling the number, I was met with some hold music and a recorded message stating, "Thank you for calling NMS. Currently, all our advisors are occupied." I promptly hung up because I’ve never encountered an NMS before.

I've just received this! I'm with Orange, so I’m curious - is this a scam targeting all networks, or is it specifically aimed at Orange users?

I've been getting the same message over and over. It's quite crucial that these individuals would actually take the time to leave a significant voicemail. Total rubbish!

I’ve noticed a suspiciously similar ring tone on both my phone and my partner’s. I’m tempted to ring this number along with the reference 110987, but honestly, it feels like a massive con!

I received a rather urgent text message claiming they tried to ring us, but strangely, there were no missed calls on our end. Quite puzzling, isn't it?

Should you happen upon a message proclaiming "ATTENTION!", I strongly recommend that you promptly notify the Information Commissioner's Office via their website regarding this bothersome SMS. The link is http://www.ico.org.uk/complaints. They possess the authority to look into the dubious "organisation" responsible for dispatching these fraudulent messages. For those using O2, you have the option to simply forward the text to 7726, and they will carry out an inquiry into its legitimacy, determining whether it's spam or a scam.

I’m currently overseas in the Middle East, and I’d reckon calling back will incur charges since I’ve attempted to do so already! I’m aware that the rate here is around £1.50 per minute. When I tried to return the call, I found myself stuck in a queue?? I can’t help but wonder who actually profits from this situation and whether there are any larger consequences to consider.

Got a rather concerning text marked as urgent, so I decided to keep the number private. I then reached out via a call and ended up speaking to some place called NMS. Can anyone shed some light on this? What's the deal here?

Received a ringing from 0745 680 5638, announcing: “URGENT! We’ve attempted to reach you. It’s crucial that we have a word with you today. Kindly return the call at 08445715197, mentioning your reference number 110880.” Quite peculiar, isn’t it? If that’s meant to be MY reference, I find it rather strange that it matches the one shared by another individual on this platform. Honestly, don’t you just have a strong dislike for these scammers? Absolute scam, scam, SCAM!

I’ve just had a message come through from 07456820432 saying they attempted to get in touch with me, but I don't have any missed calls or other texts. They want me to ring them back on 08445715197 today and mention reference number 110880. Odd, isn’t it?

I received a rather alarming message stating, "URGENT! We've made several attempts to reach you. It's crucial that we chat today. Kindly ring 08445715197 and mention your reference 110880. Many thanks." However, I found it odd as there were no missed calls on my device. The number the text was sent from was 07456 780013. Upon dialling the number, I was met with hold music followed by a recording saying, "Thank you for calling NMS. All our representatives are currently engaged." I promptly ended the call, as I'd never heard of NMS before.

Kindly ring 08445715197 and mention your reference 110880. Cheers!" I found this peculiar since there have been no missed calls on my phone. Clearly, it's a dodgy scam, and I've promptly deleted that message.

I'm receiving the same "please call" message. If it were legit, they would’ve identified themselves, wouldn't they?

I've received an alarming text from the same number, insisting it’s crucial for them to have a word with me about something linked to reference number 110987. If it’s truly so vital, why not provide any details instead of being so vague? It's as if they assume we’re all completely daft! Honestly, I hardly share my mobile number with anyone, only pulling it out for emergencies. This has got to be some sort of con, doesn’t it?

I've just got a message from this number accompanied by a reference number, yet there was no phone call prior to it! Best to steer clear of this one!

Absolutely, I've just had a message from the same number, 08445715197, urging me to ring them. Without a doubt, it's a scam. Truly despicable behaviour, I must say.

I’ve just received a similar text myself - 'urgent! we’ve attempted to reach you, and so on.'

It’s reassuring to see it’s clearly a scam, as my reference number happens to be the same, 110987. Quite amusing, really!

I've just received a message identical to what was mentioned earlier. Like all those mysterious texts lacking a familiar name or proper context, I've gone ahead and chucked it. I make it a point not to respond to any random numbers; I simply let my phone ring until they tire themselves out. Honestly, I'm thoroughly exasperated with the barrage of calls and messages from these pesky fraudsters and opportunists.

Earlier today at around 15:03, I got a rather alarming message stating, "URGENT! We’ve attempted to reach you, it’s crucial we have a conversation today. Kindly ring 08445715197 and mention your reference ...(a 6-digit number)... Cheers!" Just as I was gearing up to give them a call, I thought it wise to do a quick search for the number first. What a stroke of luck that was! I stumbled upon a slew of warnings on unknownphone, which really opened my eyes. I've gone ahead and blocked that number without a second thought. Here's hoping that measures are swiftly taken to deal with these unscrupulous individuals.
