7196268021

I received a phone call from this number, and they mentioned my name, claiming to be from the national grid. I decided to hang up immediately.

I received a call from someone purporting to be linked to my BT shareholdings. They mentioned a takeover proposal, and they were eager to obtain my email address. I declined to provide it and instead requested that they send any information through the post. That’s when they hung up on me. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!

I received a call from the number 001719628021 regarding some supposed shares I held in British Gas. It struck me as rather dodgy, so I expressed my suspicions before hanging up. Thankfully, I’ve got Skytalk Shield, so I’m certain it wasn't a recorded message or anything of the sort.

I received a rather peculiar call where the individual claimed they represented a client eyeing a takeover of BT. They mentioned something about offering no less than £8.00 per share, which raised a lot of red flags for me. I can't quite figure out how they plan to pull a fast one on me, but it definitely sounds like some sort of con scheme.

Received a couple of phone calls this evening regarding some shares. I made it clear to the caller that I did not want any further contact; it was plainly a scam. Just another day in the UK, I suppose.

I received a call from 0017196268021, and the person on the other end claimed to be part of a mergers and acquisitions firm. Just as others have remarked previously, they insisted their objective was a hostile takeover. They seemed particularly focused on private investors, suggesting that shares secured from institutional investors had reached a staggering 43%. However, since they require a majority of 51% for the takeover to go through, they were keen to squeeze out an additional 8%. In my situation, they were targeting a national infrastructure company. The following day, I received an email with a Non-Disclosure Agreement to fill out, which demanded a plethora of personal information including the stock name, total shareholdings, the name under which the shares were registered, my full name, address, mobile and home/fax numbers, email address, preferred contact time, along with my signature and the date. To me, it seems like a dodgy scheme.

I received a call about shares in Southern Power. I advised the caller to send the details in writing, and warned that I'd involve the police if they pursued it further. They promptly ended the call. I have a strong suspicion that it's a scam.

Received a rather peculiar phone call from this number, with someone claiming to represent Scottish Power, inquiring about my wife's name. Quite strange, as she doesn't possess any shares with them! I instructed the chap, who had a rather thick accent, to send a letter instead and promptly ended the conversation. I've now flagged the number on BT's call protection service.

I recently had a phone call from this number claiming to be about my shares with Mitchell & Butler. They were saying that if they could rally 51% of shareholders, they could potentially secure a larger payout for us all. They allegedly sent me an email with a non-disclosure agreement that I needed to sign and return within a mere two hours. However, after doing a bit of digging, I realised the number was dodgy, so I've chosen not to open their email.

I had a rather strange phone call the other day, where a lady with a foreign accent - I suspect she might have been Asian - was asking to speak to my wife, ***** *******. I enquired about the purpose of her call, and she mentioned something about her supposed 228 shares in Scottish Power. She then queried if I was **** *******, to which I affirmed. I clarified that we didn't own any shares in Scottish Power anymore, although we had in the past until they were taken over by Iberdrola way back in 2007, where we still hold some shares. The caller claimed to represent a firm interested in acquiring SP, but as I keep up with the business news, I’ve heard nothing about such a development. When I asked if this was some kind of scam, she assured me it was not (which made me chuckle!). She claimed her company had been in operation for over five decades. I decided to hang up, but they tried to ring again. I chose to ignore that call.

Received a rather peculiar phone call regarding shares of Scottish Power that a Spanish utility company is apparently keen to acquire. They mentioned that my husband held 225 shares and they were offering £15 each to gain a 51% stake. I thought it wise to consult with our financial advisors and accountant before making any decisions. Had a nagging suspicion it might be a scam, so I decided to end the conversation. A quick search of the number confirmed my doubts - definitely a scam, so do be cautious!

I received a call from someone who kept probing whether I was ***** *******, without actually revealing who they were. They eventually mentioned something regarding my shares. Once I responded in a way they clearly didn’t appreciate, they abruptly ended the call. I’d definitely label this as a risky scam!

Like many others have recounted, I received a call regarding a previous investment I made in HBOS. Apparently, Lloyds Bank was keen to acquire this company, and I was informed about a potential hostile takeover. They needed an extra 8% of shares to secure a controlling interest of 51%. The caller mentioned he would send over some documents for me to sign, including a non-disclosure agreement. He had all my details: my name, address, and even the number of shares I was said to still hold. He was exceedingly polite and respectful, though he did have a noticeable Asian accent. When I asked him to send the documents through traditional mail, he seemed rather eager to expedite the process and preferred to send them via email or fax. I firmly declined his request, and in the end, we decided to part ways. Just a word of caution to everyone out there-stay vigilant!

They claimed they were purchasing shares to orchestrate a hostile takeover of an energy company in which I’ve invested, offering twice the current market value. It all seems a tad too good to be believable, if you ask me!

+17196268021 rang me up, saying they were interested in purchasing shares for a company for some sort of hostile takeover. When they inquired about the latest share price, it was clear they were well off the mark. Definitely gave off dodgy vibes!

I received a call from the number 0017196268021, but they disconnected before I could answer. No voicemail was left either, which is rather curious.
