002030641213

My phone just got a call from this number. The screen made it seem like it was a London area code, but the real number is +2030641213. According to my phone’s location info, it seems to originate from Egypt - their country code is 20. I gave it a miss and looked it up here, and it seems like nothing dodgy after all.

I've been receiving a barrage of calls, particularly concerning the Telephone Preference Service. I refused to engage with the caller, and just like that, the line went silent, yet the calls keep rolling in. Quite bothersome, I must say!

This number has rung me loads but when I answer, it’s always silent. After reading other people’s experiences, I’m actually glad there’s no one on the other end, but it’s still really irritating.

I received a rather peculiar phone call earlier today. A chap on the other end insisted on verifying my name, but he completely butchered it and referred to me as "Mr", which I found quite amusing since I'm a Mrs! I quickly set him straight, but he went on to make some rather cheeky remarks about my name. To top it off, he already had my first name and even chuckled about it as if it were a joke. When I inquired what his purpose was, he bizarrely claimed he was trying to convince me to change my name! At that point, I decided it was best to just hang up.

I called back after an hour since no one picked up the first time. When they finally answered, they claimed to be from TPS and started asking loads of questions. I just ended the call straight away.

Got a call from someone who said her name was Alice and claimed to be from TPS, but her accent didn’t sound British at all. When I asked her to say again where she was calling from, she just cut off straight away. Then, about an hour later, the same number rang me back but as soon as I answered, there was nothing on the line.

Got a few calls today, about four I think. The first one was some bloke called Chris from Telephone Preference Management asking if we've been getting nuisance calls. Told him we have, which was why I’d already registered with TPS, then I ended the call. The other three calls after that were dead silent, no one on the line at all.

Received a call from them earlier today, seeking some information. I simply told them to leave me be.

I just received a call from them, and all they did was rattle off a string of 8-digit numbers. It quickly became clear they were probing for more information. I remarked that they shouldn't even be in the country, and he just kept babbling on. Honestly, we need to put an end to these unsolicited calls; it’s unacceptable for them to harass us like this!

Received three calls from this number today, but I didn’t engage since I have caller ID and the number didn’t ring any bells. They also didn’t bother to leave a voicemail, so I’m none the wiser!

Got a call from this number but it was totally silent. Just blocked it on my phone and thinking of reporting it to Ofcom or ICO. Definitely best to steer clear of it.

Got a call from this number today. It was a man speaking with an Indian accent, and I could hear what seemed like a call centre buzzing in the background. He knew my name but addressed me as 'Mrs' instead of 'Miss', which was a bit off. Claimed he was with the Telephone Preference Information Service and asked if I’d been getting any irritating or spam calls. Then he said they were about to block all those numbers. That’s when I just hung up.

This number keeps ringing me but whenever I answer, nothing happens. When I try calling them back, I either get a message saying the number can’t be reached or a recorded voice from the States telling me the number’s been disconnected. Really odd.

I've been getting calls from this number pretty much every day, always around the same time.

Got a call from a woman with an Asian accent claiming she was from Telephone Preference Management. I asked if she meant TP Services, but she insisted it was TP Management. She knew my name and address, then asked if I pay my phone bill by direct debit. I was like, "What’s that got to do with TPS?" When I told her I was suspicious and don’t trust callers I don’t know, she just hung up. Definitely adding her number to my blocked list.

Received a phone call earlier today about some supposed updates to the TPS service starting tomorrow. They kept mentioning a debit card that's been out of date since January 2017. I decided to end the conversation right there.

This afternoon, I picked up the phone to find an Asian chap on the line. He inquired whether I was indeed the person he was looking for by name. After that brief exchange, he simply wished me farewell and disconnected. Quite the curious encounter!

I had a similar experience - a woman of Asian descent inquired about my expiry date. Absolutely not!

We usually only answer calls if the name shows up on our caller ID or if the area code looks local to us. Our rule is pretty simple - if it's important and the person is legit, they'll leave a voicemail. This website has been a real help in proving our hunches about dodgy calls like this one!

This caller claimed they were in the process of enhancing their call-blocking features that I supposedly had with them. I mentioned that my wife is employed by BT, who already provides us with all the call-blocking we need. Then they insisted they were capable of blocking international calls, which I clearly stated I didn’t want since I have family overseas. Despite my objections, they kept pushing the point. Finally, I revealed that I had never been a customer of theirs and, surprisingly, they abruptly terminated the call. I've taken the liberty of blocking their number from my end now!

Today, I got a rather dubious call from this number, where they inquired about a debit card that supposedly expired in 2017. I told them I didn’t have one like that, and then they proceeded to ask me for the expiry date. Naturally, I declined to share any details over the phone. They claimed it was just to confirm my identity, which I found rather suspicious. To top it off, they asked if my name was the same as my wife’s, who has never had any involvement with TPS. That was a red flag for me, and I decided to hang up before it went any further.

I’ve just finished a call with this number, and it raised all sorts of alarms! The person on the other end had a thick accent and claimed to be from the Telephone Preference Service. They were quite aggressive in their attempt to pry my bank account information under the pretext of verifying my registration (which, by the way, I am). They even spun a yarn about how sharing those details would magically stop all unwanted calls, including the pesky international ones. No way, mate! There’s not a chance I’d let that happen! They eventually hung up on me, perhaps in frustration!

I had a rather peculiar phone call from a woman who had an Asian accent, claiming to be from TPS. She was inquiring about the expiration date on my debit card. However, I wasn't comfortable sharing that information, so I politely declined. Then, she abruptly ended the call. Quite odd, really!

I've had this number ring me four times today, but there's been nothing but silence. Is there a method to prevent calls from this particular number?

I’ve received four calls from this number today. Each time I pick up, they hang up shortly after! It’s quite baffling, really!

I just received a similar call. I was initially quite optimistic that it might be legitimate, but my suspicions were raised when they inquired about the expiration date on my card - something I had never shared with them. The caller became rather flustered and insisted on speaking with my husband instead. They repeatedly claimed they didn’t require any bank information, just a confirmation of existing details as they were supposedly trying to use the number for some sort of registration. I cheekily replied, "Let’s say it’s 2020," and they proceeded to transfer me to a supervisor who was apparently going to assist me with setting up a new system. The supervisor then asked if I was looking at my card and requested that I confirm the month. Again, I pointed out that they didn't actually possess my information in the first place as it was meant to be a complimentary service. Strangely enough, the call then ended abruptly...

A call just came through, where they were attempting to verify our card information for TPS. However, the details they provided were incorrect, and they wanted to amend them. My wife decided to hang up as no proper information was shared.

I received a call from a company claiming to be "phone call barring co." The chap on the other end was quite keen to have a chinwag, so I played along for a bit, throwing in questions about his name, age, and even what he was wearing. In the end, it dawned on him that I was onto his little charade, and he abruptly hung up!

I too received a call claiming to be from TPS. They proceeded to ask me about the expiry date of my credit card. I was cautious and shared the year but held back on the month, having realised that TPS is a complimentary service. I felt rather foolish and anxious after the conversation.

I had a similar experience - my phone rang just before 2 o'clock this afternoon, 14th December. They didn't leave a voicemail, which is quite typical for us as we've started using our answerphone to filter out unwanted calls due to all the pesky interruptions lately.

They rang me and said they were from TPS when I mentioned my Visa card and bank stuff, so I just ended the call. Then they phoned me right back and started asking the same questions again, so I told them I thought it was a scam and hung up once more. Nothing happened since, so fingers crossed.

Received a call from someone claiming to be with the Telephone Preference Service. They had all my details, including my address, but hung up as soon as I inquired about my credit card. Very strange!

I completely relate to that; the moment they began inquiring about credit cards and bank documents, it raised my eyebrows as well.

I picked up the phone when it rang, and for a moment, it was just dead air. Then, I could hear some commotion in the background, sounding quite like a call centre, but then it went quiet again before the call disconnected. Quite odd, really!

I received multiple calls from this number yesterday, but unfortunately, no one picked up. I ended up hitting the end call button, yet the phone kept on ringing regardless. After a while, it finally stopped. This is quite unusual for me, as I’ve never encountered anything like this before.

I received a call supposedly from TPS who asked for my name and other details, then inquired about my card's expiry date. I firmly refused to share any information. He insisted he only wanted clarification, yet I expressed my disinterest. He began to talk over me, so I decided to hang up.

Got a call claiming to be from some kind of phone blocking service. They asked me to verify my address and even wanted my credit card details, including the security code, saying it was to check against their records. Told me it was rubbish straight away. The real telephone preference service never asks for card info since it’s a free opt-in thing. Judging by how many sites like this one are around, the whole thing doesn’t seem to work that well anyway.

Every time I answer, there's this weird quiet spell for a few seconds before the call just cuts off. It's happened like four times today already, and I got two of them yesterday as well. Really strange.

This number keeps ringing me every half hour or so. Whenever I pick up, there’s nobody on the line. I’ve had enough and just disconnected my phone now!
