Absolute scam alert! Never answer calls, texts or emails from numbers you don’t know. Don’t EVER let anyone record your voice - it’s how scammers use voice cloning to trick you (just Google 'voice cloning scams' to see what I mean). If you get scammed or suspect anything dodgy, report it straight away to the police or Ofcom using their official systems. For texts or calls, including silent ones, send details and the number to 7726 and follow their prompts to confirm your report. Also, use your phone’s built-in spam reporting for calls and texts, forwarding suspicious messages to 7726 as well. Keep an eye out for replies as you might need to confirm. Scam emails? Forward them to '[email protected]' and report them through the phishing report options in your email (look for the 3 dots in the corner). The more times these scams are reported across all platforms, the better the chances that the authorities take them seriously and take action. If you’re unsure, just Google 7726 and '[email protected]' for loads more info. Stay safe, guys!

They just rang me and hung up without saying a word, total cold call.

This so-called 'Housing Disrepair Scam' isn't anything new, honestly. You can find plenty of info about it online. Some comments down here actually tell you ways to block these scams. Seriously, reporting them is how we get them to stop!

Looks like it might be a scam call. I wouldn’t answer it. Definitely worth reporting.

I spoke back in another language and they just ended the call. Definitely scammers 😂

Got a call from them, picked up but kept quiet. Nothing said from either side for around ten seconds, then I said “hello” and they just hung up. Guess they realised it’s an active number - probably better off not saying anything!

Third dodgy call I’ve had today, and they didn’t even try to get round my call blocker. Proper annoying.

Got loads of these quiet calls that just last for about 10 seconds, no one talking. Pretty sure it’s some automated dialer. Decided to block them now.

Didn’t have the number saved and hung up just before it went to voicemail. Looked it up here and it's blocked. My phone is on the TPS list too.

Why do T**** keep ringing me non stop? It's so annoying! I’d never pick up cos it’s gotta be a spam call or something 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Be wary of scam calls! Never answer or reply to texts, calls, or emails from numbers or addresses you don’t know. Don’t let anyone record your voice - look up ‘voice cloning scams’ online to see why that’s risky. It’s important to report any scam contact to the police or Ofcom through their official channels. You can text the details (including silent calls) to 7726 and follow any prompts to confirm your report. Also, use your phone’s spam blocking tools to flag these calls and texts. When you get scam texts, forward them to 7726 and report them as spam through your messaging app. You might get a message back asking you to confirm, so keep an eye out. For scam emails, send them to '[email protected]' and use the report phishing option in your email client - usually found under those three little dots in the top-right corner. These reports really do help, but it’s best if lots of people report the same scam through all the different systems so the right authorities get involved promptly. Google 7726 and '[email protected]' for more details on how to protect yourself.

Got loads of calls from a number that looked almost the same over the last few days. I didn’t pick one the other day, and they didn’t bother leaving a voicemail or anything. But the time I did answer, the person spoke like they already knew who I was and said they were ringing about some missold car finance claim. They called themselves ‘the reclaim people’ – yeah right, like that sounds legit!

These calls are seriously annoying.

If you want to help put an end to these scams, make sure to report them - details on how to do that are below. It’s worth noting that some scammers record your voice and combine this with voice cloning scams to try and empty bank accounts. Have a look online for ‘voice cloning scams’ and ‘saying yes scams’ where you’ll find news articles, info and advice from the police about this seriously risky AI tech. They only need a few seconds of your voice to clone it, so when you get a call from an unknown number, don’t say more than a quick ‘ello’ and just listen. Then hang up and report it. Also, get rid of any voicemail greeting you’ve recorded yourself, never return calls from unknown numbers, and be mindful who can hear your voice clips on social media. There’s plenty of useful info online, so share it around. This voice cloning stuff can cause all sorts of trouble if folks don’t know about it.

Likely a scammer. This number rang me around half eleven in the morning when I was still knackered from a night shift. Seeing how many reports and searches this number has got, I’m really relieved I let it ring out.

It really seemed like a scam to me. Instead of saying hello, I waited until five then asked "who's this?" and right away they ended the call. Got them blocked straight away.

#### Tried to ring me but I missed it, then left a voicemail that was already full. I was waiting for them to call after a really important interview to tell me if I got the job or not. #### this #### ####

Just got a call where no one spoke, so I'm guessing it was some kind of scam.

I picked up, but there was nothing but quiet on the other end. After seeing all the bad reviews, I’ve decided to block this number.

My mum was getting loads of annoying scam calls. She kept rejecting them but these lot rang her about five times straight before I managed to block them. Before that, she got calls from two other numbers she ignored too. Feels like it’s the same company using different numbers, cos we had a similar thing happen recently with several calls back to back from different numbers. Proper frustrating!

Absolute scam alert! Avoid answering calls, texts or emails from numbers you don't recognise. Never let anyone record your voice – look up 'voice cloning scams' to see why that’s risky. Always report scam attempts to the proper authorities like the police or Ofcom. You can text the phone number and all info about the call, even silent ones, to 7726. Make sure to follow any instructions they send you to confirm the report. Use your phone’s spam report feature too. If you get scam texts, forward them to 7726 and report them via the text spam options. Watch out for replies in case they ask you to confirm your report. Scam email? Forward it to '[email protected]' and report it through your email’s phishing report option (usually found under the 3 dots menu). Reporting through different channels really helps get these scammers dealt with properly. For more info, just google 7726 and '[email protected]'. Stay safe out there!

Got a call about logging into some HSBC account in Aberdeen, but I don't even have an account with them. Pretty sure it was a scam.

I've been getting loads of calls every week from numbers starting with 0121 or 0161, plus texts from various different numbers claiming to be from some firm called PCP, saying they can help me claim back money on car finance. I either ignore them or just cut the call straight away, but they keep pestering me non-stop. I've never taken out any car finance, so it's obvious to me it's a total con.

No voicemail or anything. Checked the number here and yep, just like I thought, some dodgy scam. Blocked it right away. Cheers!

Didnt even get a ring or any voicemail or nuffin!
