Late afternoon in Berkshire, reports pile up about persistent calls from this Reading-based number, often going unanswered with no voicemail left, prompting quick blocks. Some pick up to recordings bidding farewell or reps posing as Three or Virgin/O2 staff, probing for service feedback despite no connection—classic impersonation tactics in phone scams. Others face cold pitches shifting to unrelated networks when challenged, or repeated silent hangs. This pattern screams nuisance harassment laced with scam risks, aiming to extract details or push fake deals. Block it straightaway, report to Ofcom or Action Fraud, and never share personal info—better safe than sorry with these dodgy callers.
I answered to a recording that said goodbye; they called several times today.
They said they were from Virgin/O2 and asked whether I was experiencing an issue. After I told them I wasn't a customer, she continued, offering to talk about other networks, so I terminated the call.
The person said they represented Three and wanted my opinion on their services, even though Three isn’t my provider.
Yet another cold caller left no message; I blocked the number straight away after finding it tied to a phone scam.
I ignored the unknown number, no voicemail followed; after checking, I’ve blocked it.
