Persistent calls from this number often disrupt daily life, especially for vulnerable folks like pensioners. Reports highlight aggressive tactics, such as repeated ringing and false claims about online investments or crypto opportunities, which scream scam alert. One caller even issued threats after being challenged, ramping up the intimidation factor. To stay safe, never engage with unknowns—let them go to voicemail and block the number straight away. Report to Action Fraud if it feels threatening, and consider registering with the Telephone Preference Service to cut down on nuisance calls. Keeping a log of incidents helps too, just in case it escalates.
They rang a few times then stopped; this is the third call from this number in four months, so I refuse to answer unknown callers.
A call came in asking for my husband; since he’s seriously ill and doesn’t answer, I pretended to be his wife, thinking it might be a hospital. The caller claimed he’d spoken to my husband about an investment, which I denied, telling him not to bother us again. He later called back, saying because you’re a rude c...t I’ll bother you, which felt threatening, especially as we’re both pensioners.
Phony call, clearly a scam.
It’s unsettling for both my partner and me, leaving us anxious while we wait for a friend’s call.
Fraudulent call promoting a crypto investment scheme.
This number called seven times in ten minutes; sounded like a Chinese woman. I let the last call ring until it stopped.
The caller rang yesterday and went to voicemail. Today, I answered, and it was a financial scam. She mentioned online investments, so I ended the call.
This number is unknown to me, but I’ve had multiple calls linked to financial scams, so I suspect this is another.
