Got a call from a lady with an English accent working in a call centre, telling me I might be eligible for some sort of PCP claim. I ended the call straight away and have since blocked the number.

Had a call from some housing repair folks about cracks in the walls or something. Told them to take my number off their list, but they kept saying no. I kept insisting they do, then suddenly they just cut me off. Quite frustrating!

Got a text about some Stanley card or something - sounds dodgy if you ask me. Stanley must be living the life or what? Total SCAM! Really hope these muppets catch a nasty bug or something.

So when I got the call I just played along and said with a thick accent, “Hello? Bombay Bite takeaway.” Then I just ended the call straight away.

Got a call from some guy with an Indian accent pretending to be from Sky. I just told him he was a scammer and ended the call straight away. Then I blocked the number so they wouldn’t bother me again.

Someone's been using a photo of a mate's lad to steal ID, but now I can’t track it down anymore... WATCH OUT. I messaged the number on WhatsApp and got a reply saying, “Sorry my phone’s been hacked, I’m getting loads of scam calls…” The way it was worded didn’t sound like my mate’s son at all, totally different from how he talks. So I looked into it and my mate’s son definitely hasn’t called or messaged me, so I’d say just block that number if you see it. They had a pic that looked really similar to him, which made it tricky.

Google and Bitdefender both flagged this number as possible spam. I didn’t pick up, and there was no voicemail left.

Just got one of those money advice calls, supposed to help with my debts but felt like a total scam! These people really need to find a proper job instead of bothering folks like me!

I've been getting calls from loads of different numbers nonstop.

I picked up but there was just silence on the line.

02922541744 kept blowing up my phone. As soon as I picked up, the call just got cut off. Fair bit annoying, I ended up blocking the number. Watch out folks!

Beware of scam calls and make sure to report any suspicious activity. These tricksters might be recording your voice and even using AI to mimic it! Just a few seconds of your speech can give them enough to cause serious trouble. It's best to keep your replies to a minimum when dealing with unknown callers – never say “yes” as scammers often use that against you. Other ways they might grab your voice includes your answerphone messages, returning calls from strange numbers (always a risky and costly move), and recordings you post on social media. Have a look online for info about “voice cloning scams” and “saying yes scams” – the police have advice on this dangerous new tech. Make sure to spread the word with your family and friends so nobody falls victim.

Me: Hi there Caller: Hello Me: Can I ask who's this? Caller: I'm ringing about the repairs you said needed doing on your house Me: Honestly, just leave me alone Call ended abruptly

Got a call from some automated system about fixing mould in the house, sounded dodgy to me. Pretty sure it’s just one of those scams targeting people with home repair offers.

I usually ignore calls from numbers I don’t know. If it’s really important, they’ll leave a voicemail anyway. When I looked up that number, turns out it was linked to a scam.

Got a call from 029 2254 1747 today, didn’t pick up since I’ve no idea who it was. No voicemail either. No one I know is from Cardiff, so it looks dodgy to me. Straight to block!

Got a call about some 'home coverage' I supposedly signed up for last year. Sounded dodgy to me. Definitely feels like a scam.

Bit odd really. This number rang me, so I phoned back to say I hadn’t got their call earlier. Then they told me I’d been ringing them several times today, which definitely wasn’t the case.

The person who called this number kept asking for the person who owns the house. As soon as I said I wasn’t the owner, they either just hung up or insisted that the owner wasn’t at my address. It kinda freaked me out coz it sounded like they knew where I live as well as my phone number.

Got two calls back-to-back from this number but no reply when I rang them back. Looked them up here and decided to block it. Fingers crossed they don’t bug anyone else.

Total scam alert! Never answer a call or reply to a message from an unknown number. Don’t let anyone record your voice – look up ‘voice cloning scams’ online for why this is important. If you get any dodgy calls or texts, report them straight away using the official police or Ofcom channels. You can text the details – number, time, and what happened – including silent calls, to 7726. Make sure to reply if they ask you to confirm. Also, use your phone’s built-in spam report option for calls and texts. For scam emails, forward them to '[email protected]' and use the phishing report tool (usually found under the three dots in your email). The more these scams get reported across all these platforms, the better chance the authorities have to take action. Just google ‘7726’ and the email address to find out more info on reporting. Stay vigilant!

The call came through claiming to be from O2, but as soon as I caught the foreign accent, I just ended the call straight away.

Got a call from Bewley, not sure who they were. When I answered, there was nothing but silence on the line.

Got a call from a number not saved in my contacts and it felt like one of those dodgy spam calls. Probably a scammer trying their luck.

If you get scam texts like this, shoot them over to 7726. By doing this, Ofcom can flag the number as dodgy throughout the phone system and it might even catch the attention of the police. Just search for ‘7726’ and '[email protected]' to find out more about how to report scams and why it’s really worth it.
