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!

This appears to be a fraudulent scheme. I received an identical message featuring the same reference number as yours.

Got a rather alarming message saying, "URGENT! We've made several attempts to reach you, and it's crucial we chat today. Kindly ring 08445718145 and mention your reference ******. Cheers." I decided to give the number a ring, but it just went to voicemail, which made it clear it was a dodgy scheme. I promptly hung up and proceeded to block the number on my phone.

Hi there! Could you please give me a ring back today? I've got something important to discuss with you, and I've got a reference number to make it easier. By the way, do they rake in money every time we end up on hold? Just a thought! Cheers!

I've received numerous calls from this number in the past and have chosen to disregard them, as my previous encounters suggest they're nothing but scams. Today, however, I received a text from this UK number - +447454423320, instructing me to give them a ring with a lengthy reference code, claiming it's urgent. It's quite worrying to think that they might be targeting elderly folks who might not be as savvy or aware, putting them at risk of being taken advantage of financially. We really ought to put an end to these fraudulent calls!

Absolutely! I received the exact same message with the identical reference number. Do these folk honestly believe we’re all a bit dim?

I had a similar experience; I did a bit of digging on unknownphone.com before returning the call, and unsurprisingly, it turned out to be a scam. I’d highly recommend steering clear of any call-back; it’s one of those premium numbers that’ll hit your wallet for around a quid a minute!

Just moments ago, I got a message that said: 'URGENT! We've made several attempts to get in touch with you. It's crucial that we have a conversation today. Kindly ring 08445718145 and mention your reference ....... Thank you.' I replied with, "Who is this?" but didn't hear back. Clearly, after seeing what others have said about similar experiences, I have no intention of pursuing this any further!

Yet another annoying and unsolicited call has come my way! I just got a similar text, this time from +447449226443, urging me to ring 0844571845 and mention reference number 339799.

Please ring 08445718145 and mention your reference number 339799. Many thanks." Honestly, I've no idea who this is from, so I'm definitely not going to return the call. If they're so keen to chat, I figure they'll give me another ring.

I recently got a text that sounded quite familiar, and it threw me into a right flap! So, I decided to give the number a bell. A woman's voice greeted me with, “Welcome to NMS, one of our agents will be with you momentarily.” I ended up hanging on for more than three minutes, but alas, it seemed like I was just talking to myself! Grateful for this website for shedding some light on the situation...
