The person rang about KCOM shares; after I told him I owned none, he mentioned a takeover by the current owner, so I ended the call, feeling uneasy.

This appears to be a scam concerning Nordic Panorama shares.

Fake investment fraud

A guy named Robert inquiring about my late husband's Lloyd’s investments. Complete fraud

Fraud alert on this number

Posed as a firm wanting to purchase my Lloyds shares at a premium. Requested details by mail, but they refused. Ended the call.

Courteous individual posing as Christopher Lane from an M&A firm, interested in shareholdings I lack. Instructed 'Mr Lane' to send written details. Not expecting any post.

Investitionsbetrug – nicht zuerst sprechen, da spracheaktiviert, und niemals 'ja' sagen! Einfach auflegen 👍🙄

A mate received a ring from this number. It was an American woman named Lucy, employed by S & J Holdings, claiming they aimed to acquire National Grid. Clearly a fraud involving investments. Block it right away📵

Rang me twice this afternoon. I allowed it to ring out to voicemail since it appeared to be an overseas unknown number, yet no message was recorded. Checked here and discovered it's a fraudster. Blocked now.

Fraud

They rang claiming a merger at The Royal Bank of Scotland, listing me as a former shareholder (which I was). Offered to send takeover info via email and buy shares for at least £10, up to £20 max. I kept them talking a while, then revealed I was wasting their time to keep them from bothering others, so they disconnected.

Asked to discuss my stock investments. Total con, con, con. I put the phone down

Two days back, a post on this thread – around three entries down – explains reporting suspicious call frauds. This qualifies as a fraudulent call. Fraudsters thrive because so few incidents get flagged; that's how they evade detection and keep bombarding us with these bogus rings.

This number rang for five minutes. The person said she was part of a team putting together a buyout offer for Iberdrola, Scottish Power's parent. In the end, she wanted my email, but I said I didn't have one. Disturbingly, she mentioned sending info to my home address, which she got spot on. They must have Iberdrola's shareholder list...

Report this scam number via text to 7726 along with the details to add a phishing alert across the network. Watch for a confirmation, since verifying the report and number might be required. This can reduce risks for others falling victim and could prompt a police probe. Search '7726' for additional details.

The person on the line claimed to be Julia Simpson, yet spoke with a strong foreign accent. She wished to discuss Scottish Power shares. I was occupied, so I ended the call. Felt untrustworthy.

A woman, possibily of Indian descent, asked for my deceased husband, claiming to be from Viglays Bank, her accent was dificult to understand and she hung up when I expresed my doubts

Indeed a scam related to investments. They knew my name and claimed to call about shares I supposedly own. I told them they had the wrong number and hung up!

A call was received on my landline from this number, with no message left, and given my lack of connections to Manhattan, New York, it appears to be a scam

Claimed to be a woman named Sarah with a pronounced foreign accent, inquiring about Centrica shares and advising correspondence by post

Rang me claiming I held IAG shares and offered to sell them, though I disposed of them 15 years ago. I accused her of scamming, having just heard about her on local radio. She quickly hung up. FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD

A woman with a strong Asian accent, claiming to be from the USA, contacted me about selling shares that supposedly increased in value; it's an absolute scam, similar to ones I've encountered before.
