They keep calling me every few days - phone never seems to ring, it just appears in voicemail. They say they're Advantis Credit and they've written to me about 'an urgent matter' (they haven't) and need to speak to me so I must call back. They never use my name or anything that suggests it's nothing more than phising. Seems very scammy to me.

This is a debt collection company everyone honestly there name is Advantis not as outline in other messages. They called me and wrote text you name it hundreds of times over a debt. They are ruthless so you need to check no debts registered in your name or it affects you & they don’t leave you alone 😕 I complained but still getting them calling & im on my own disabled and half deaf they know this but persist!

Debt collection agency - Advantis Told me I had a debt with Vodafone. Followed up with Vodafone and reminded them I had been over billed and had a credit! Advantis wanted me to pay more. Lazy billing, auditing and follow up by Vodafone initiated calls.

I spoke to the lady and she kept saying to repeat my name and address. She would not tell me the reason for her call. I am not sure whether we should report this to the police. This is a land line number and can be traced.

This is a scam call. They left a voice message asking to call back but not even saying who they were. Ignore this call.

"This is a call from Avensis. Please press 1 to speak to an advisor. Please note, you are not being charged for this call" They have called me twice in the last couple of weeks, around 8:00am each time. Initially asking for personal details to 'confirm my identify' before even telling me what the purpose of the call was. Sounds like a scam.
