Reports consistently highlight automated greetings seeking verbal confirmation, often leading into claims of unentered lottery wins like EuroMillions draws or syndicates. Callers push for personal details including bank info, raising data theft risks through voice recording and phishing. Patterns suggest organised fraud, with persistent calls from similar numbers. Block the contact immediately and report to Action Fraud. Never share info or say 'yes'—hang up straight away. Enable call screening on your phone to filter unknowns, and consider apps for spam detection to safeguard privacy.
With all the recent fraud attempts I've had, I skipped answering this unfamiliar number. Comments confirm it's another ploy to con me.
Chose not to pick up, and from the reports, that was smart. Been getting repeated calls tied to lottery scams, so blocked them all and suggest you do too.
Ignored it since the caller ID indicated potential spam.
Called claiming I'd won the lottery. Turns out my neighbour at 43 Rigton Drive passed on my number. They commit crimes like eavesdropping through walls and floors
Robocall claiming I'd won 10 free entries in the EuroMillions draw.
I ignored it and advise against responding; it's definitely a fraud attempt
A lottery fraud attempt, no idea since I hung up early—the voice was super fast with a heavy accent, repeatedly inquiring if 'this appeals to you'. It doesn't at all; they've phoned seven occasions in just two days!
Someone phoned me saying I had won a prize in the euro millions, which is laughable, I never even entered the competion, so I blocked the scammer
Matches previous complaints: supposedly I joined a contest and won 12 euro millions lines—obvious hoax. Bogus 🤥🤥🤥
Afternoon call said I'd won a 10-euro lotto draw this Friday—hadn't joined any, so I ended the call.
Lottery win con artists. They pushed for my personal info.
Claimed I'd won Euromillions tickets via a syndicate. Requested my numbers then wanted bank info. I refused and hung up immediately. They had all my personal details, but since I knew I hadn't joined any contest, I strung them along to waste time. They come across as professional and believable, so watch out.
Kept calling non-stop since the 20th—it's harassment via lottery scam. Now blocked. Absolute nightmare.
Picked up from 02843780598 – some lottery syndicate scam win. They wanted a yes or no confirmation out loud. I just strung them along with ums and ahs to waste their time.
Those lottery fraudsters are rubbish. Once I questioned if she was a bot, she claimed a line issue and disconnected.
Usual outfit claiming I've hit the Euro lottery jackpot, ha. They've called consecutive days from varying numbers. Blocked both.
Total con artists with a lottery fraud, utter bastards
As soon as you pick up, an automated voice greets you by name and asks if you can hear them, their goal is to get you to respond with a YES so they can use your voice for malicious purposess
