The phone rang at about 6.15pm but I didn't pick up straight away. I tried calling back just a minute later but as soon as I connected, there was complete silence so I had to hang up.

This number has rung me a few times, luckily my phone blocked the calls so I wasn’t bothered. Honestly, I wish these idiots get caught and had to parade through the high street wearing a big sign so everyone knows exactly who they are and can give them what they deserve.

Got a couple of calls from a number I didn’t recognise, but no voicemail was left either time.

Some bloke said he was from O2, telling me my SIM was out of date and that they'd send me a new one. Didn't buy it for a second. When he mentioned he'd pass me on to their feedback team, I just cut him off straight away.

I tried calling them back, but all I got was some music playing, so I just ended the call.

I rarely pick up when I don’t recognise the number. This time it was a woman offering to mail me a whisky catalogue, which I said no to. I guess she was probably after my address, but I’m always curious how they even find my number in the first place.

The call was muted by Vodafone, so it just showed up as a missed call for me. I noticed from other folks’ comments that the British Open golf is now only on Sky and not the BBC anymore. We don’t have Sky anyway. I went ahead and blocked the number, but I doubt it’ll stop them since it's probably just a call centre.

I was expecting a phone call around 5 in the evening to let me know I’d won that Global Media Cash Call contest. But no, it turned out to be some scammer, and they just dropped the call. Proper annoyed. Honestly, just don’t answer if it comes through.

Pretty sure the scammer's SIM card has expired or something.

He’s not gonna be pleased when he finds out he’s been using Sky without settling the bill.

I let it ring out and they never left a message, so I've gone ahead and blocked the number.

No voicemail was left, so I guess it wasn't anything urgent. Probably just some sales call or a scam, if I had to guess.

They ring me nonstop every day, proper scammers for sure. Best thing is to just ignore and block them right away. Don’t even pick up!

Someone said they were from Vodafone but just cut me off mid-call.

Got a call from a blocked number, but when I picked up, there was nothing but silence on the other end. Pretty strange.

Didn’t bother leaving a message or anything, just an unknown number calling out of the blue... figured it was a dodgy sales call. Went straight to blocked.

My phone actually flagged the call as maybe being spam.

Pretty much the same thing happened again, they claimed I was due some payout from Black Horse Finance even though I've never once taken out a car loan. What's weird is I got a call about this exact thing just two days ago but from another number entirely.

Have a look at the message six posts earlier than this one. You might uncover some handy details there.

Got a call from someone with an Indian accent saying, “We are your electricity supplier.” But my real provider always states their company’s name. So I just told them, “You’re not, you’re a scammer.” Then I hung up straight away.

Just a few seconds of talking is enough for scammers to copy your voice these days. Look up ‘voice cloning fraud’ and ‘yes voice scams’ on Google if you don’t believe me. Gone are the days when you could prank scammers safely. Plus, be careful with other stuff, like leaving voice messages on your voicemail, ringing back numbers you don’t know, or even how your voice clips on social media might get misused. It’s really scary how easily they can steal your voice now.

Somebody called saying they was with o2, I just ended the call straight away.

Got a call, picked up and there was nothing but silence, then some clicking noises before they just cut me off. Pretty sure it was some scam attempt.

Got a message saying I’d missed a call alert from O2, but my phone never rang even tho I was holding it. The alert told me to press certain numbers to stop the call. Sounds dodgy to me. I’ve blocked the number and reported it straight away.

Watch out! Those green ads seem really dodgy. I’d suggest sticking to car sellers you're familiar with, just to be safe.
