Said it was a potential scam when number rang up on my phone. Didn't answer as not one I recognised. Came here to check and can see it's from a debt agency (apparently). I have no debts, so obviously a scam. A Clitheroe number.

Have had two phone calls today from this number, just going by what others have said, it's clearly a scam 🤦♀️. I didn't answer the call as it was a "funny number"
From debt company in Birmingham apparently. Kept them talking to save someone else's afternoon. I got bored and put the phone down on him. Second call today. Gentleman had an Asian accent.
Tried to say they were from a debt investigation department and they were investigating a debt. I don't have debts and when I said that to them they hung up.
Claiming to be from debt agency - would no doubt have continued to tell me I owed money if I didn’t tell them I wasn’t interested in their call and to remove my number from their register
