I received a missed call on my work phone from this number shortly after midday on Sunday. When I arrived at the office this afternoon, I noticed another missed call from the same number, around 1 PM on Sunday. It seems rather peculiar that they would try contacting both my numbers, especially since they're not made public outside of my workplace. I'm quite tempted to return the call, but I appreciate the insightful posts that have helped me think twice about it.

I'll provide an update after we receive our bill, detailing which company this scam was associated with. We'll be lodging a complaint with Ofcom and BT, among others.

Cheers for the warning! I received a call from them at nine this evening, and I was rather curious about who would be ringing at such a late hour. With two little ones at home, it’s certainly not a good time for calls. I certainly won’t be returning their call-what a right scam!

Received a call from this number earlier. They rang once and then hung up without uttering a word. No chance I'll be returning that call!

Earlier today, around midday on the 17th of September, we received a call from this number. We decided to ring back for clarification, and were met with a rather robotic voice requesting us to enter our UK or international destination number. It gives the impression that they’re trying to catch unsuspecting folks out, racking up charges for what appears to be an international call when we respond. It feels like a clever ploy to profit from people who innocently return a missed call!

Just following up on my earlier comment. I reached out to the BT helpline about the callers, and it was a bit of a disappointment, to say the least. They didn’t appear particularly knowledgeable, if I’m honest. I suspect it could be a case of miscommunication. They did mention a "choose to refuse" service, available for a week at no charge but would incur a fee afterwards. One thing I forgot to add in my last message is that I've been registered with the telephone preference service for several years now. I plan to contact them soon to see what feedback they have regarding this situation.

We experienced the very same situation at 7:04 PM earlier today! Thought it wise to do a bit of searching online prior to returning the call, and I’m really glad we did. Much appreciated!

Received a rather peculiar silent call, hung up, and then found myself staring at an enormous bill the following day. Major con if you ask me!

Received a call from the payphone number 08714793344 at around a quarter past three this afternoon. I tried the 1471 service but didn't recognise the number. We had a few similar calls in the past, so I’m rather relieved we didn’t ring them back. I'll be reporting this to the Telephone Preference Service and lodging a complaint too.

I've received a few calls from this number recently, but each time they hang up. It shows up as "PAY PHONE" on my caller ID. I tried ringing back once, and it kept me on hold indefinitely. Realised pretty quickly that it’s just a scam, so I hung up before wasting any more time. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!

I just received a call from this number and when I answered, they abruptly hung up. The 1471 service confirmed that this was the number that rang. Safe to say, we won't be returning their call! I'm left wondering how on earth they manage to get hold of numbers like this out of the blue!

It seems that Cheers International is at the heart of this issue. The only number that popped up was 0871 665 4422, and it's certainly not one you'd want to be dialling when the bill arrives! It's worth noting that this company was recently penalised for making unsolicited silent calls, which feels eerily similar to what's going on now. Rumour has it they faced a hefty £50,000 fine, so let’s hope Ofcom gets their act together and dishes out another penalty!

We've received another call from this number, and it cut off the moment we picked up the phone. We're definitely not considering returning the call, but we're keen to find out who’s behind it so we can lodge a proper complaint. If anyone has any information regarding this lot, we would greatly appreciate you sharing it. Thanks a million!

I received a call from this number as well, and my Caller ID identified it as a payphone. So, before I called back, I thought it wise to do a bit of digging online. Cheers to everyone for the info-imagine how much I could have added to our phone bill otherwise!

My mother has been receiving calls from this number over the last couple of nights. I've lodged a complaint with the Telephone Preference Service since I've already registered the number there.

I’ve just had another call from this number at a rather inconvenient 2:45 this afternoon. As soon as I answered, they hung up! It’s clear they are aware this number is active, so I dread to think how many more calls from these fraudsters are heading my way. It makes one wonder whether the phone companies actually have the means to track these calls back to their sources. Or are they simply uninterested since they stand to gain from anyone foolish enough to call back?

I received a call from this number and decided to return the call, only to be prompted for an international dialling code. I'm really hoping we don’t get slapped with any fees for this! I also reached out to BT to lodge a complaint and they mentioned that this matter would be looked into.

Received a rather peculiar call earlier, and when we answered, there was silence on the other end. A quick check with 1471 showed that it was indeed a valid number. Safe to say, we won’t be returning that call! It makes one wonder where these callers manage to obtain their numbers from, doesn’t it? Quite the mystery!

Just a few hours ago, at around 7:04 this evening, we encountered the very same situation. Decided to hop online and investigate a bit, after which we gave them a ring. Delighted to report that everything’s sorted now. Cheers for the assistance!

Received a call from these individuals, and I must say, it was quite the nuisance! After the phone rang once, I did the sensible thing and dialled 1471, which revealed the number: 08714793344. Frankly, I have no desire to return the call, as they seem to be nothing but a bunch of time-wasting charlatans. It’s imperative we take a stand and report these characters, given that others might fall prey to their dubious antics. Let’s unite and put a stop to this nonsense before more unsuspecting folks get caught in their web!

On Saturday evening, just passed, our phone rang, but as we were about to answer, it abruptly cut out! Curious, we decided to check who it was using 1471 and it revealed the number 08714793344. Quite the puzzling turn of events!
