Oddly enough, these calls from an Aylesbury number often masquerade as legitimate firms like Virgin Media, yet they target non-customers, which screams scam tactics. One report mentions a bizarre 'Goodbye' text, hinting at phishing or harassment attempts to unsettle recipients. With no genuine ties to the area, it's wise to screen unknowns—let them ring out and never respond to dodgy messages. Block the number pronto via your phone settings or carrier app to cut off further nuisance. If it persists, log it with Action Fraud for the bigger picture; staying vigilant nips these in the bud without falling for pressure.
The call appeared to originate from Aylesbury, which was odd since I have no connection there, so I didn't answer.
Received a text that just said “Goodbye”… yeah, go on then, mate!
A caller pretended to be Virgin Media, but I’m not a Virgin customer, so it raised red flags, cheers.
