Phishing calls

"Something didn't feel right . Long delay, then recorded message saying "all our operates busy, press 1 to opt out" something fishy about whole thing"

"Spoofed for a fake PayPal message scam."

"Got a call on a work mobile from this number. The caller said she was from somewhere that sounded like Blockhams but she was really mumbley and I had to ask her to repeat where she was calling from. After some background noise she just hung up without saying anything else. Not sure if its related, but within 40 minutes of the call I got 2 Smishing (phishing by text) messages saying they were from DPD (UK) Delivery telling me action was needed because a parcel couldn't be delivered due to an unconfirmed address. The first text came from an outlook.com email address and then the same message came from a different outlook.com address (both following the patten [email protected]). The web link in the message looked off, but apart from that they were pretty convincing if you were waiting on a delivery. Luckily this phone is only used for work and never for placing orders so I new straight away it was a scam."

"Claimed to be from my bank , telling me two companies Zoom and Amazon have tried to take over £700 from my account. Press one to confirm two to cancel"

"Just say Yes scam. Pre-recorded woman's voice asking "Can you hear me OK?" to get a "Yes" that can be recorded and used in a scam agreement against you. AVOID IT. JUST HANG UP."

"They claimed to be from the visa fraud team and wanted me to press 1 for the explanation"

"Claimed to be from my bank . Claimed that charges from Amazon and Zoom had been made on my account, they said they were ringing as I do not use these services. They neglected to say which bank. Gave 2 options :- press 1 to cancel payment, press 2 to confirm."

"Phishing scam trying to steal bank account details, address and identity by pretending to send you money, but you have to pay them to start the wire transfer."

"Felt like a scam call or a fishing call"

"Called saying they were from Amazon about a dodgy gift card buy on our account and that they would send a code to my phone for me to read back to them. When I asked them to tell me the names on the Amazon account to prove they were actually from Amazon, they hung up. I called the number back and the guy had a different accent this time. Definately a scammer - beware."

"Said they were calling from 3 mobile. They tried to send me an email asking me to log in and change my password. I later checked with 3 and they told me that they had not contacted me. Be careful!"

"Claimed to be from the fraud department of AMEX. I happen to know AMEX don't cold call, and I told them. The response was "this is a safe call and it is being recorded for your safety". I hung up after calling them a scam and then called AMEX directly. They confirmed that nobody has contacted me. When I called this number back the person gave me attitude and made snarky comments about trying to scam me."
