Screen every incoming call from unknown numbers before picking up, especially those claiming debt issues. These reports paint a clear picture of scammers posing as debt advisors or investigators, often with non-native accents, fishing for bank details like sort codes and card numbers under false pretences of security checks. Silent hang-ups suggest they're verifying active lines for later targeting. Block the number immediately and report it to your provider or Action Fraud to curb wider spread. If they persist, log details without engaging—never share personal info. Staying vigilant protects your finances from these phishing ploys, as legitimate firms won't pressure for details upfront.
Unknown caller left no message. When I called back, it was disconnected. Probably nothing important.
This is a debt scam, an asian lady claimed to be a debt councillor, I played along and gave her fake details, she asked for a long number and the name on the card
Recieved a call claiming to be from the Debt Investigation Department. They mentioned seeing my debt profile and managing payments. When asked for the company name, they repeated 'Debt Investigation Department'. They then mentioned 'Money Advice Trust' and offered a debt resolution plan. I told them it sounded like a scam and ended the call. He seemed nervous and couldn't confirm the company's authenticity. Avoid answering calls from this number.
I've chosen to ignore calls from this number after receiving a couple, and have since blocked it; there's also a debt scam associated with this number, and the brief, silent calls are unsettling, leaving me to wonder about their intentions
I've received multiple calls from numbers starting with 07418, all of which follow a similar pattern: I answer, they remain silent, and then hang up, strongly suggesting a scam
A gentleman with an Asian accent claimed I had unpaid debts. When I denied it, he stopped responding.
They say they are a debt reduction company, but they cant tell you what debt you owe, and the people are not english speakers
On the second attempt, the caller hung up before any conversation could take place, using a different number each time.
This number is linked to a fraudulent debt company attempting to obtain your banking information.
