I don’t have a landline but I’ve definitely noticed more spam calls than normal on my mobile the last few days. |  |

I'm getting a load of calls to my mobile saying, "please add me on WhatsApp".
Makes a change from long voicemails in Chinese, I suppose. |  |

I get those from time to time. As well as a simple 'hey' from the sort of attractive looking lady that would never genuinely contact me out of the blue. |  |

Just checked - yep, two from supposedly amawfulzon - £99 - crackle buzz blah blah indeciperable - actually left on ansaphone, which is unusual. One of those also tried my mobile (missed call).
Deleted and blocked via call-protect. |  |

A landline? What is this you speak of?
Are you also getting nuisance telegrams and faxes? |  | | |

The number of fkn pigeons I've never even seen before landing on my windowsill, you wouldn't believe.
And the tapping on my pipes! | |

Yep. Loads of "This is your bank, you have had so much taken for so and so" Also loft insulation, cavity wall and a load I didn't answer.
To say it's a nuisance is putting it very mildly.
The sad thing about it is that although some are genuine (Not the bank ones) these companies charge a lot, don't do a good job, then if you call them they fob you off.
We also get cold callers at the door for double glazing, tree cutting and general gardening. Along with the various so called "Jesus saves" lot. Perhaps Town should have signed him ? but I thought he was a forward. | | | |

Yep, all from "British Gas" apparently, desperate to get a meter reading from me.
When the calls are forwarded to my mobile, they show up as slightly different numbers too, but as though they're coming from either Glasgow, London or Bournemouth.
Stopped now though. |  |

In the last few weeks I've been getting calls from a supposed Britihs gas number (it comes up with their name"
However, it leaves a voice message which clearly starts before the beep and then says "all our operators are busy"....You called me!! God know what they want. I assumed it was to get me to get a smart meter.
DOes anyone else just leave any number they don't recognise and assume if its important people will leave a message? | | | |

Yes, 3 yesterday, 1 today. 2 of them were that usual Amazon scam "payment of £99 and a payment of £799 press 2 to cancel" nonsense. I get no nuisance calls for maybe a couple of months and then about 6 in 1 week. It's been like that for years. |  | | |

They are a plague over here, too. Car warranties, health insurance, student loans and various other scams. The phone companies must have a way to stop the scammers from spoofing numbers but they seemingly choose not to. I wish there was a global task force dedicated to finding out who the spammers and then we get to watch them being executed live on TV. Not joking in the slightest. |  |

loads of the spam, ds of the whatsapp ones and like you say tree cutters and internet. However i will say the tree cutters were a dream come true as was looking for a big pine in the front garden of new house to be lopped down. decided to get it chopped down to mid way and literally 3 i'm sure were piss heads and all half cut already at 10 in the morning quoted £100 all in to chain saw half of it down and clear it. took 3 of them 2 hours, absolute bargain if i dont mind saying so. | | | |

Could be to do with this:

I've heard reports of people getting called for payment of parking fines based on data in this leak so they'll quote you a genuine time your car was in one of these car parks and the registration number making it a bit of a level up from the standard calls where they talk in general terms about your Amazon account. | | | |
