I'm thinking it could have been a phishing call. I just ignored it and ended up blocking the number.

Tonight I got a call from this number, and earlier today a very similar one rang me too but it finished with 78. Every time I picked up they just hung up straight away.

Got a call on my mobile from some woman claiming to be with Capital something, offering details about investing in whisky. I just told her to get lost and blocked the number straight away.

No clue who that was. They didn’t bother leaving any kind of message. How am I supposed to assist if there’s nothing to go on?

I dont recognise the number at all. If it was about anything to do with my house, they'd ring the landline since I rarely hand out my mobile. Feels like it could be some sort of scam.

Got a ring from this number earlier today. I never pick up from anyone I don’t recognise or isn’t saved on my contacts. Plus, they didn’t even bother to leave a voicemail. Definitely dodgy. Blocked it straight away.

I picked up but didn’t say a word and they just ended the call straight away. Definitely one of those silent scam calls. BLOCKED 🚫 These are robotic calls sent out by predictive diallers to check if a number is actually in use and if someone picks up. When you respond with “hello,” their system notes that it’s a real person and flags your number for more complex scams later on – thanks, Google!

Seems like a scam to me. I ignored the call and they never bothered to leave any message.

Got a call earlier from a number that looked like O2. The lady on the line said my sim was about to get cut off unless I switched to a new one. Told her I’m not even with O2 and she just ended the call. Then the same number rang back, this time claiming to be from EE with the same story. I told them again I’m not an EE customer, and she hung up for good. Blocked the number straight away.

Got a call from someone pretending to be from housing, asking about fixes I never asked for. Total scam!

Tried calling but no answer, didn’t leave any message so pretty sure it’s just the typical spam stuff.

Somebody rang me out of the blue, so I tried to call back but turns out the number was no longer active.

These lot are scammers, pretending to be energy advisors nowadays. They keep swapping the numbers they ring from, thanks to VoIP tech, so you can't trace where they actually are. That’s how they dodge call blockers. If you think blocking one number will stop them, nah, they'll just call again and again from a new one. I get these calls nonstop, and honestly, they’re pretty dumb, thinking I’ll fall for their nonsense. They’re only out to nick your money, zero care about your situation.

My phone showed “Probable Spam” so I just gave it a miss!

Totally a scam, sounded like someone from overseas for sure.

Got a voicemail from someone claiming to be Sarah at Capital Connect asking ‘how’s it going today’. I just ended the call straight away since it seemed obviously dodgy.

Somebody pretending to be from Amazon rang me, saying they spotted an attempt to purchase an iPhone through my account. They claimed the items were being held and that I wouldn’t see them listed yet. They insisted I provide my info so they could cancel the order. I told them I’d ring Amazon directly to check instead. They pushed me to deal with them but I kept my info to myself.

They keep calling me all the time, it's getting ridiculous.

Got a call just now from some number, seemed dodgy like a scam or something.

Ignore the call as there was no voicemail left. I looked them up on this site and saw over 290 negative reviews. Decided to block the number straight away.

Got a voicemail from this number but when I checked, it was just 0 seconds long. Marked it as spam and got rid of it. What a pain!

Definitely sounds like an Indian call centre trying to collect info for their databases! Avoid giving any personal details.

Got a call out of the blue, call screening showed it might be from scammers, so I’ve just gone ahead and blocked the number.

Got a call from this number earlier today but I didn’t pick up and they didn’t bother leaving a message. I’m going to report them to the UU and block the number 7726. Telecom providers ought to be held responsible since they have records of who their numbers are assigned to.

Beware of scams! Don’t ever reply to calls, texts, or emails from numbers or addresses you don’t recognise. Also, never let anyone record your voice - there’s a growing problem with voice cloning scams (try searching that online for more details). If you get any suspicious calls or messages, report them straight away to the police or Ofcom using their official channels. For texts or calls (even silent ones), you can forward the number and details to 7726, and follow any instructions for confirmation. Don’t forget to use the phone’s built-in spam reporting tools too - both for calls and messages. If you receive scam emails, forward them to [email protected] and report via your email provider’s phishing reporting feature (usually under the three dots menu). The more often we report these scams across different platforms, the better chance the authorities have to track and shut them down. Look up 7726 and [email protected] online for plenty more advice. Stay safe out there!
