Scam - not trustworthy. Ignores numbers registered with the Telephone Preference System
Scammers! NEVER answer any unknown call or text. NEVER engage with a scammer. NEVER return a call to an unknown number. Report all scam attempts to the official police/Ofcom systems designed to handle them. Text the phone number and details (including silent calls) to 7726. Repeat when asked to confirm. Also use the phone's spam report feature. Forward texts to 7726 AND report on the text spam report function. Keep an eye out for any reply as you might need to confirm. Forward scam emails to '[email protected]' AND report on the email phishing system: 3 dots in the top right corner. All reports should be acted upon, but multiple reports across all systems will make sure all relevant agencies are notified about the scam and action IS taken. Google 7726 & '[email protected]' for further details.
3rd call now from these people, each time a different Bristol number. I pick up but nobody talks. If you call it back they say they are AWE marketing Ltd. Just block the number, it's a scam.
0117 261 6253 Why didn't they leave a message if it was important Maybe a scam Call from America ?? Dangerous or harassing
When these folk don't leave messages and just hang up, it's obviously not important. I'd like to hang up on them! Please leave a message, or go away and never phone again!
Scam, not trustworthy. Doesn't care about Telephone Preference System numbers that are registered.
I was out, so the call went to the message service. The caller hung up.
