He just went quiet as soon as my husband began chatting back.

Received a text saying my card was now linked to Lauren's iPhone and telling me to ring this number. Definitely a scam.

Just got a message from NatWest saying 568942 is a code for £1390.99 paid to ‘eBay’. It asked me to text back “N” if I didn’t make this request and ring them straight away on +442038968062. The grammar was so bad, I’m sure this is a scam! Wouldn’t trust it one bit.

Avoid picking up calls, replying to texts, or responding to emails from unfamiliar numbers – it’s most likely a scam. Don’t let anyone record your voice either; look up ‘voice cloning scams’ online to see why that’s dangerous. Whenever you get suspicious calls or messages, report them to the police or Ofcom using their official channels. You can forward suspicious texts or silent calls to 7726, then follow the prompts to confirm your report. Also, use your phone’s built-in spam reporting tools. Scammy emails should be forwarded to '[email protected]' and flagged through the phishing report option (usually via the three dots menu). The more these scams are reported across all the platforms, the better the chances for authorities to act. For more info, just google 7726 and '[email protected]'. Stay safe!

This number looks like a total scam - nobody I asked had any clue who it could be. Definitely best to block and report it!

Got a silent call again, which was pretty annoying, but considering WCM’s past, I reckon it’s best to stay cautious as it might be risky.

I don’t get any actual calls but I see four missed calls pop up all together from some UK number. So I block it, then the very next day, bam, four more missed calls but from a different UK number. I block them too. This keeps happening every single day for the last couple of weeks, always a new number. Every day it’s a new one to block. I don’t return any calls cause I’m starting to get properly fed up with it.

Got a call from the same number again, but when I picked up, it was just silent. Definitely feels like a scammer, so I've blocked it now.

Got a call from 07368113262 about my SIM needing to be switched out because it was supposedly old tech and my phone would stop working otherwise. They said it was from Three mobile network and tried pushing me for my bank details. I didn’t fall for it and didn’t share anything.

There’s this annoying number that ends with a 5 and the rest hasn’t changed. They’ve called me five times already today while I’m trying to relax on holiday. Proper hassle from these scammers. I’ve had enough and decided to block them now 🚫

Got a single call from this number and the person just dropped the line. Decided to block it straight away.

I picked up and there was just silence on the other end, then they suddenly cut me off. So I've gone ahead and blocked this number.

Got called twice from the same number in just four hours. How come they’re not blocked yet? Proper annoying these lot.

So I got a call with no voicemail left, then the number popped up on WhatsApp with a pic of an elderly couple. I sent a message asking who it was, but never got any answer back.

Got a call from a number I didn’t recognise, they left a voicemail but it was just someone saying “goodbye”. Seemed like an automated thing. I’m gonna be wary about it till I know for sure it’s legit.

The phone rang from a Cardiff number but when I answered, no one was there. I don’t know anyone from that area, so it felt pretty dodgy. Might be a scam call.

I didn’t say a word, just got a loud call from a dodgy call centre. Definitely a scam.

Didn’t leave any voicemail, shows as a mobile and looks like a spam call so I blocked it straight away. I swear I get about ten of these annoying calls every day, it’s getting so tiresome.

Saw tons of calls coming from this number, seemed like every few minutes. Definitely linked to some dodgy outfit. Total rip-off.

Absolute scam alert! Don’t ever reply to calls, texts or emails from numbers or addresses you don’t recognise. Be especially careful NOT to let anyone record your voice - look up ‘voice cloning scams’ if you want to know why it’s risky. Always report any suspicious calls or messages to proper bodies like the police or Ofcom. You can send the number and details of calls, including silent ones, to 7726 by text. When they ask, reply to confirm. Also, use your phone’s built-in spam reporting tool to flag these numbers. Text scams can be forwarded to 7726 too, and don’t forget to check you get a reply because you might need to confirm again. If you get scam emails, forward those to '[email protected]' and make sure to also report them using the phishing report option (usually found in the email menu with three dots). Reporting multiple times across different platforms really helps get these fraudsters caught. Search for 7726 and '[email protected]' for the full info on what to do. Stay safe out there!

I had a missed call but decided not to pick up, probably some kind of scam.

Got a call from Utility Warehouse which my phone flagged as 'Possible Spam'. Funny thing is, I’m actually tied into a contract with them thanks to TalkTalk switching me without even giving me a heads up. There was no info from TalkTalk, just found out through the fine print I’d been passed on! I’m really annoyed with Utility Warehouse. Ending the contract would set me back £150, and honestly, I don’t want to fork out that much at all!

Got a call but didn’t answer straight away, thought I’d check it out. They’re pretending to be from a phone company, but the number is connected to loads of social media sites like WhatsApp and Instagram, with profile pics showing Arabic writing. Honestly, best to just leave it alone.
