Dear Maxis users, have anyone been getting multiple calls from UK? I have been plagued by these so called bot calls. I googled the numbers and found most people reported the number are spam and charges their bills from whocallsme website.

Here is the list.

+44 113 401 8040
+44 113 401 8030
+44 113 401 8020
+44 113 401 8032

From iPhone it shows the calls is from Leeds, England, United Kingdom. I have tried to block the calls but it keeps coming in from different number.

Reported to Maxis, they said they cant block and noted would refund if the bot calls gets charged to our bill "if the charges are insane"

They call 3 times. 1 time until call gets dropped, 2nd time short, 3rd time until call gets dropped.

Curious if anyone else been plagued with this.. Well maybe I have yahoo account and with data breach they got my number?

Yes I also have this spam calls as well from the same numbers. and it just happened recently. I recently also ported my number to Celcom in December and bought a new phone beginning January.

For comparison purposes:

1. Did you just port your number to new service provider eg. Maxis?
2. Did you buy a new phone?

The numbers just rang once or twice and hung up. So maybe.. they want to know whether your number is still working, or they want you to call back

Since it is a spam call from UK.

I found this site

https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/nuisance-calls/

I think you can lodge a report there

Been using Maxis for more than 10 years. New phone not really been using the same phone for 5 years now. Its quite random actually to my surprise and persistent.

Thank you. This will be grateful. They always manipulate the back number 80XX and the last they called is 3 days ago

I had come across some info that those numbers are related to some binary options scam..

I think our phone numbers were phished in some way, but I am not sure, maybe through some apps or submitting forms.
