08714750135

A few days back, I threw my hat into the ring for a couple of positions and was feeling rather optimistic about it. However, after receiving two calls from the same number, a nagging feeling prompted me to do a bit of online sleuthing. Cheers to everyone who chimed in - you’ve put my mind at ease! 😊 Just like someone else mentioned, they left me a rather strange robotic voicemail that dropped an inappropriate word when I didn’t pick up. I’ve promptly blocked their number as well! Be wary of these folks, everyone! - caller: 08714750135

On the 16th of March, I received a rather peculiar voicemail requesting that I get in touch with "the recruitment office", yet they failed to specify which one. This omission raised my eyebrows instantly. However, my concerns dimmed a bit when I realised it was related to a job application I had submitted through the Reed website. After a few preliminary questions, they informed me I had secured the position and could potentially commence work this week. It then took a rather unsettling turn when they asked for my email, phone number, date of birth, and other sensitive information. Just like others who've voiced their concerns here, I was met with an expectation to pay for a training package and was prompted for my bank details. I firmly told the caller that I had previously worked in fraud investigation, so I was not about to fall for any tricks. At this point, the individual became quite flustered, struggling to find words before reiterating their request for my banking information, suggesting it was all rather ordinary and questioning why I was treating this like a scam. When I declined again, she abruptly hung up. I’m eager to track down these individuals; could you possibly share their address with me? The number in question is: 08714750135.

I just had a rather odd phone call from this number. The previous evening, I had submitted applications for several admin positions. When I got a call from that number, the caller ID indicated it was Tesco, which made me think it might be genuine, so I answered. A gentleman on the other end requested my personal information, including my address, email, and phone number. He claimed he needed to put me through a screening process to determine my job eligibility. He declared I had passed with flying colours and mentioned he would send me a starter pack, but it would incur a cost for the company, which is why he asked for £19. I was nearly ready to provide the final three digits from the back of my card when it suddenly clicked for me: (1) I had not applied to Tesco; (2) he never disclosed the name of the company, and (3) what on earth was I thinking? I asked him to hold on for a moment, and I quickly looked up the number, which led me to this website. - caller: 08714750135

I also got caught out by this number, but when I rang back, it went straight to their voicemail, so the call didn't last long. Like others have mentioned, I'm signed up to platforms like Reed and Indeed, and it's likely these are the sources they're exploiting to harvest our phone numbers. It's amusing that I'm now anticipating their return call; when they do, I'll be sure to let them know exactly what I think of their antics and where they can shove their nonsense! - caller: 08714750135

I dialled 1471 to retrieve the number and, with a bit of foresight, decided to search for it online prior to returning the call. I'm absolutely relieved I did, as I stumbled upon all the past comments about it. Like many, I'm in search of employment and have been browsing through Reed.co.uk, Indeed.co.uk, and various other recruitment sites. - caller: 08714750135

I’ve just had a rather peculiar call from 0871 475 0135. The oddest part was that the line seemed to connect before I was even greeted by anyone. Upon answering, I was met with silence - rather suspicious, isn’t it? It’s quite bizarre for a legitimate job opportunity to prompt you to ring back just to get your application in. Frankly, it smells like a scam to me. Best to steer clear of this number! - caller: 0871 475 0135

I received a phone call instructing me to ring back a number, 0871 475 0135. They put me through a so-called "screening" routine where they requested my full address and bank information. There's absolutely no way I would share my banking details with them. Seemed rather suspicious to me! - Caller: 0871 475 0135

I received a missed call from this number on my voicemail, and it raised a few eyebrows given that it resembled one of those premium rate lines. Thought it wise to investigate before making any hasty decisions, so I turned to this site. Phew, dodged a bullet there! With so many job applications flying around, it's maddening how these scammers operate. The number in question was 0871 475 0135.

This morning, I received a rather dodgy call from this number, with a pre-recorded message urging me to ring them back about a job I had shown interest in. Naturally, I felt quite wary, so I decided to do a quick search online. Surprise, surprise! It turned out to be a scam, just as I suspected. Do yourselves a favour and steer clear of these crooks. If a legitimate employer truly wishes to chat about a job application, they would have the courtesy to speak to you directly rather than resorting to this sort of ruse. It’s utterly disgraceful that they exploit individuals seeking employment, especially when many are in a tight spot financially and can't afford the steep charges of a premium number. It’s appalling behaviour, and they ought to be thoroughly ashamed of their actions!!!!! - caller: 0871 475 0135

I received a ring from this number, but when I attempted to return the call, it just kept ringing endlessly. - caller: ?

I received another call from an unrecognised number, and the individual claimed to represent a company called SEMIGROUP. Strangely, they lack a website and haven't provided any email correspondence with information about the job. Instead, they merely requested payment for a package that they supposedly intend to ship to my home. Beware of this! It's undoubtedly a SCAM! Don't be fooled!

Steer clear of this lot - they go by the name of FAIM. They set themselves up as a work-from-home gig and told me I was a good fit for their team. They make a song and dance about being listed on Indeed and Reed, which had me convinced since I’ve been on the hunt for jobs on Reed. Then, out of the blue, they hit me with a £19 charge for some induction materials. I swiftly said no thanks! Do yourself a favour and dodge these charlatans if you can - the caller was FAIM.

I chose not to pick up the phone as it was an unfamiliar number. They ended up leaving a voicemail, and let me tell you, it was clearly a robotic caller. The message was quite crude, simply stating 'bitch'. I'll absolutely be passing this on to the proper authorities!

I received a call from a recorded voice that prompted me to return a call concerning a position in administration. They also requested that I acknowledge receipt of their message by hitting the number 1.

Absolutely not! Steer clear of that number. They hit you with a £2.50 charge just for ringing, and they’ll request your address and bank details for payment. Then they try to reel you in with a so-called welcome package costing £19 plus an additional £24 to set you up for working from home... it’s a total con! They even had the audacity to name the company.

Absolutely a robocall, but this marks the first occasion they've reached out to me. The other evening, I did submit numerous job applications. All I received was a voicemail requesting me to acknowledge that I had listened to the automated announcement, so I don’t have much more to share on the matter.

I felt quite lured into dialling them again. After a brief chat lasting around ten minutes, a young chap concluded that I possessed the necessary qualifications for the role. However, he then proceeded to ask if I could stump up £19 for a welcome pack, claiming it was a special deal, down from £39, to demonstrate my commitment to the position. To top it off, he wouldn’t send me any information via email, insisting that the paid pack held all the details. I politely declined the offer. It’s quite a novel approach, asking candidates to pay to secure employment!

I recently received a rather dodgy call from what seemed to be an automated dialler, purporting to represent a company regarding my application for a job. It struck me as rather fishy, especially since they were eager for me to return their call on an expensive premium rate number for further details!
