Cheers for leaving your message! Now we’ve got clarity, we can simply disregard it. It had us a bit anxious for a bit, to be honest!

Gave me a bell earlier today.

We had one as well, so what should we anticipate?

Received a call from the number 07449206651, and the caller requested that we return the call to 08445718145. Can anyone shed light on who this might be?

I've just received the same message from that very number earlier today as well. Quite curious, isn't it?
12 years
We encountered a similar issue. When we tried to return the call, we managed to get through but were then left languishing in a queue. Couldn’t quite discern what the company was on about, to be honest. Eventually, we decided to throw in the towel!

I've experienced the very same situation; what on earth could this be?
13 years
If I try calling it back, will they charge me for that? Just want to make sure before I ring them again.

I got a text telling me to ring this number, referencing 339799 as well. Thought it was dodgy, so I reported it to the ICO through their website here: http://www.ico.org.uk/for_the_public/topic_specific_guides/marketing/texts

I got a message just like yours, same reference number and everything - definitely feels like a scam to me.

Got a text saying, "IMPORTANT! We've been trying to reach you, it's urgent to talk today. Please ring 08445718145 and mention reference ******. Cheers." I called back but got straight to voicemail, so I figured it's just another scam and hung up. I've since blocked the number on my phone.

I got the same exact message with that reference number! Rang them and waited on hold for about 2 minutes... is there a way to report or block these calls?

I got a message from this number 08445718145 telling me to ring them back. Pretty sure it’s a scam. I messaged them again but no answer so far.

I picked up the phone since the text made it sound really important.

Got a text saying I need to ring back today and gave a ref number. Feels like a trick to make us call and end up stuck on hold. Are they just cashing in every time we dial? Proper annoying!

This number has rung me a few times before, but I just didn’t answer because I suspected it was a scam based on past stuff. Today they sent me a message from this UK number - +447454423320 - saying "attention, it’s urgent you get in touch" with a long string of numbers to quote. I worry that if they’re targeting older folks who might not be so sharp or cautious, it could end badly for them and they might lose money. We really need to do something to stop these fake callers!

I got the exact same message with the same ref number, can they really think we’re all daft or what?

I had a similar experience. Before I rang them back, I looked them up on unknownphone.com, and it turned out to be a scam. Best to avoid calling them back because it’s one of those premium numbers that’ll cost you around £1 a minute.

Just got a text message that said: 'URGENT! We've been trying to reach you. It's really important we talk today. Please ring 08445718145 and mention your reference number ....... Cheers.' I replied asking, "Who is this?" but didn't hear anything back. After reading what others said down here, I’m not even gonna bother calling!

this happened to me too... what morons!

Got yet another annoying call out of the blue. Just got a text from +447449226443 telling me to get in touch with 0844571845 and mention reference 339799. I usually look up unknown numbers on Google, especially if they’re premium rate, to find out who’s ringing.
13 years
So, I got a message that said they’ve been trying to reach me and it’s really important to talk today. It asked me to ring 08445718145 and give them reference number 339799. I have no clue who they are, so I’m not bothering to call them. If it’s that urgent, surely they’ll just ring me back?

Got a message saying someone was trying to reach me, then when I answered the call, it went straight to silence and I was just left waiting on hold with no one speaking.

Luckily, I've got a cracking app that blocks all those annoying numbers, and this one’s just another to chuck onto my massive list of blocked callers!

Totally a scam, they all send texts with the exact same reference number which is a dead giveaway. I’ve already told Virgin Media Business about it since they’re the ones who own the phone line.

Can anyone suggest a good app I can get on my phone to block this number and other ones I don't recognise? Would really appreciate some recommendations.

Got a text from that number today, around 2:07, saying it's urgent to get in touch with them. Luckily, I looked them up here first.

Same here - I dialled from my home phone and it just left me waiting on the line forever.

Got a message just like that one, guess I’m lucky I checked this site out first.

Got a text like the ones here and got a bit worried. I rang the number, and a woman answered with, “Welcome to NMS, an agent will be with you shortly.” I hung on for more than three minutes, but no real person ever came on the line. Really glad I found this website to figure it out...

I received a message saying they’d been trying to reach me and told me to ring this number. I replied asking them to call me straight away to check if it was legit, but they never got back to me. Seems a bit dodgy to me.

Just received the exact same message, with that IDENTICAL REF NO!! Strange, right?

Got a message with the exact same ref number as well. Does anyone know if there's a way to report these folks to OFCOM?

I received a message from that number earlier and foolishly rang back. The answering machine kept me on hold, then I stumbled across all your warnings. Cheers for the heads up, I’ll be more careful if they try again!
