Just wanted to shout out to the couple of comments around 5 spots down that talk about how risky voice cloning is and how to report these scams trying to cheat us. I’d really recommend giving those a proper look and double checking the facts yourself. Doing a bit of digging might save you from loads of hassle in the long run.

If you want to help put a stop to these fraudsters, make sure to report them. Some scammers have started recording calls and using voice cloning scams alongside their usual tricks to steal money from bank accounts. Look up 'voice cloning scams' and 'saying yes scams' online to find news articles, police guidance, and info about this very risky AI tech. These scammers only need about 3 seconds of your voice to copy it. So when you get a call from a number you don't recognise, just say a quick ‘hello’ and then stay silent. Listen for a bit, then hang up and report any scams. It’s also wise to delete any personal voicemail greetings, avoid calling back unknown numbers, and be careful about who can hear your voice on social media. There's plenty of info available online, so spread the word to your mates and family. If people don’t know about voice cloning, it could cause serious problems.

They rang me about half past eleven but there was no message left, the call just cut off as soon as I picked up.

Got a call from a Scotland number but no voicemail left.

I'd suggest having a look at the comments down there first, might save you from posting about your run-in with that number. Just a thought!

Got a call from this number earlier today but didn’t pick up since I had no clue who it was. This is the second time it’s shown up on my phone.

The call just ended abruptly without a word, probably testing if my number was active. I'm definitely blocking it!

Got a missed call showing Cardiff, but honestly no clue who it was. Meanwhile, my email's been flooded with messages from my internet provider and some emails from iCloud about failed payments – totally dodgy stuff. I’ve decided I won't pick up calls that aren’t saved in my contacts or calls where they haven’t left a voicemail. It’s all just scams these days, better safe than sorry. Trust no one, seriously.

That dodgy number has been blocked now 🚫 no more scams for me!

Make sure to report every scam call you get, I’ve put some info below. Also, have a proper look into stuff like 'voice cloning scams' and those ‘saying yes scams’ on Google – there’s a lot about how easy it is for scammers to copy your voice nowadays. It’s really something to be concerned about. But honestly, if all of us knew how to spot the threat and the handful of ways they capture and replicate your voice, dodging it isn’t that hard. Stay sharp!

Over the past couple of weeks, this number has rung me repeatedly, including three times just today. I’ve been ignoring it up till now, but I'm going to block it for good.

I got a call from this number, said hello but there was no response, then they just hung up. Before I picked up, it showed up as suspected spam on my screen.

My phone flagged this call, said it was probably some kind of scam.
