Many calls from numbers starting 0161520. Flagged up as Suspected Spam. After several calls a day over two weeks, I answered twice - the first time an Indian lady saying it is about credit card fraud. I told her to stop calling. More calls, so I answered again, they hung up immediately. The numbers so far have been blocked but they keep ringing from different numbers.
Keep ringing me from a Manchester number, get 2-4 a day! Keep blocking them but a different number will call back. When I answer they hang up.
This number has called me all day .. before answering I looked the number up online came to these comments and after reading I blocked the number 👍🏼
Indian voice calling from Manchester Claiming to be something credit related called them out and they said they don’t want to speak to me anymore
calling me several times a day, and they hang up the phone when answered. Number now blocked
They call through and say credit investigation but as I'm not in debt I hung up so do believe to be scam
An Indian man called me saying he was from a credit card debt company. I said I wasn’t in debt and ended the call. They called about 3 times this week before I picked up.
SPAM
They are calling from India pretending to be a UK consumer trading or something department. But when they ring you they say "Credit Investigation" but when you ring them, a machine speaks saying "UK consumer trading" 2 different companies. And then I speak to the representative and can already tell they are a scam..
