Got a call from 01335703010 claiming to be from Utilita, but it was definitely a scam. Watch out!

It's super annoying when you realise your own mobile number has been shared with ####. I just don’t pick up when they call and then check sites like who called me afterwards. That’s my usual routine!

I missed a call earlier and it got me thinking - whenever I've shared my number with legit companies for work or something serious, I often end up getting spam calls later on. Now, if I don’t recognise a number, I just don’t pick up.

This number keeps bothering me non-stop. I always ignore the calls, but it just keeps ringing. Even though my phone flags it as spam, I can't seem to put a block on it. It’s getting really annoying and frustrating, honestly messing with my peace.

Got a call from 02072433233 and luckily BT Call Guardian picked it up on our home phone. They let the caller leave a voicemail but there wasnt any. Looked up the number here afterwards and found out it’s been flagged as harassing. I’ve gone ahead and blocked it for good now.

Hiding your number won't really stop scammers from figuring out who you are, and it definitely won’t stop them from redirecting your calls to expensive overseas lines. If you end up speaking to a scammer, they might even use AI tech to record and mimic your voice. The best thing to do is to text details of the scam call - including silent ones - along with the number to 7726. You'll usually need to reply to confirm it, so don’t skip that. Also, if your phone has a spam reporting feature, use that too. Afterward, share your experience here on the site. That’s pretty much all you need to do! For more info on reporting scams, just search for 7726 and the email address '[email protected]'.

Got a dodgy text pretending to be from Apple, trying to get me to click a phishing link. Absolutely fishy!

My phone buzzed with this number, so I answered it but didn't say a thing. All I could hear was background noise, like it was coming from one of those call centres. Then, abruptly, they just ended the call.

No message was left, just another dodgy scammer, so I marked it as spam and auto-blocked the number.

Tried ringing a mobile, but it won’t pick up if the caller ID is hidden. So, I called back with my number showing and got a message saying the number isn’t active. Ended up blocking it and reporting the whole thing.

Got three calls from this number today. Every time I stayed quiet, they just ended the call. Sounds like some sort of automated bot testing if someone’s there.

Got an email claiming to be from some dental company asking me to verify a direct debit payment. Amount due each month: £529.99 Company: Bupa Dental Care Starting Payment: 16th October 2026 Reference: WP-971205 The email came from an account called support but it was definitely a hacked one. Don’t risk it, don’t ring the number they give.

Got a call from someone with an Asian accent who claimed to be from housing, saying they were following up on repair issues I supposedly reported. I told him I never made any report, and he just hung up straight away. He didn’t bother to say who he was or ask for my name.

They rang me but only ended up going to my voicemail, no message was left though.

This number rang me just now, I answered but stayed quiet. Then someone asked, “Is this Mrs *****?” I told them that’s private and asked what they wanted. They kept insisting, saying I couldn’t refuse to answer. I told them they absolutely could, and warned them not to call back again.

Sounds like they’re just trying to scam me. Rings every single day without fail.

Avoid answering 0330 174 5719, it’s a total scam. They rang me and claimed I’d contacted them about fixing issues with my home. I decided to humour them and got passed on to someone else who acted like they had a report from me about housing problems, which I hadn’t reported at all. They then asked me to send them details via email and were about to share an address. The moment I told them I’d record the chat and they heard the recording notice, they immediately cut the call. What a bunch of dodgy lowlifes. Definitely mark this number as fraud and block it pronto!

Our home phone’s answer machine handled it – as soon as the automated message ended, they just hung up.

Been getting calls for the past three days, three times in total, but not a single message left.

This number keeps ringing me but I just ignore it every time.

Some bloke rang me saying he was with British Gas. Sounded like one of those dodgy telemarketers to me. Felt fishy from the start. Wouldn't trust it at all.

They rang me thrice today but I never picked up!

Got a call from a number I didn't recognise. I didn’t pick up, and they didn’t leave any voicemail either.

Got loads of annoying calls about dodgy car loans I never even agreed to. Proper spam!

Got a voicemail from someone claiming to be from Insurance Secure and asking for a Simon. My name isn’t Simon, so I reckon it might be a dodgy or spam call.
