Agnieszka scam calls—stop them now!

I received a verification SMS from RFUTickets, then the same number rang immediately – I let it go to voicemail, mate.

Contact number: +44 20 8399 3114

I answered the call for 8 seconds and thats it, I hope everythings alright, they wanted me to verify a code but I didnt let them finish, I think they got my number from the BestJobs app, you should be careful with that app!

This is a scam.

Scam alert! They claimed to be from a tech company, but it was a total scam.

An automated call was made from this number, characteristic of a robocall.

These scammers are utterly pointless, just a waste of time and air. Read the comment below to see how vile they are. I'm shocked by their shamelessness and disgusted by their lack of remorse. Not today, you heartless ####.

They rang me, and after an online search I confirmed it was a scam.

One effective way to halt those odd or silent scam calls is to take charge and report each incident via the police’s dedicated system: 1️⃣ Head to Action Fraud – just Google it or visit police.uk and fill out the phishing report, including the scam number and any links or threats. 2️⃣ Forward any scam emails or screenshots (texts, WhatsApp, etc.) to the provided address. That’s the proper route, right.

Reporting scam numbers is simple; the cyber‑crime police have dedicated systems. Submitting a report takes as little time as posting here and needs no registration. If every daily scam attempt were reported, authorities would be forced to act more aggressively, often collaborating with overseas forces. They already respond to reports and sometimes make arrests, though more could be done. Visit the Action Fraud website’s news section for updates, and note that messages sent to the gov.uk portal receive an acknowledgement.

Below you’ll find details on how to tap into the police portals set up for reporting any scam call or number. Simply blocking won’t cut it – the overseas crime rings keep spoofing endless UK landline and mobile IDs. File every attempt with the cyber‑crime unit and let them handle it, then share your experience here so everyone’s in the loop, yeah. One or two reports won’t move the needle; we need all of them.

Scammers rely on low reporting rates, so never call back unknown numbers – it could be a 'wangiri' scam using fake, computer‑generated lines. The number might belong to an innocent person or a fraudster, so avoid engaging or confirming your identity. If the caller claims to be your bank, treat it as a potential scam and call the official number on your card to verify. Remember, spoofed numbers are common, and not every silent call is malicious. The safest response is to ask, “Who’s calling?” and then report if necessary.

Any scam attempts should be reported straight to the cyber‑crime police agency, which makes it simple for the public to log phone, text, email and other fraud attempts. I was advised to do this after complaining to my MP about the volume of scam calls. Details on how to report are posted below this feed. Scammers really don’t want anyone to know this information. If you don’t report them, don’t expect anything to stop them.

Read the threads below for a solid rundown on why you must REPORT scams instead of just blocking them – the numbers keep flooding in thanks to spoofed IDs. Reporting to Action Fraud or the police portal is the only way to curb them, then share your story here so everyone’s aware, yeah.
