008580549591 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 008580549591 👆 is reported as a persistent and sophisticated scam targeting UK shareholders by posing as brokers or investment firms, often with American or foreign accents. Callers claim to represent companies involved in hostile takeovers and offer inflated prices for shares, using publicly available shareholder registers to personalise calls. They request sensitive information or signature of non-disclosure agreements and may pressure victims for upfront payments or insurance bonds. Despite some callers appearing plausible and referencing genuine companies, these are fraudulent attempts to deceive shareholders, including the elderly and widow(er)s. Victims are advised not to share personal or financial details, avoid engagement, report such calls to authorities, and block the number. The scam exploits publicly accessible information and aims to exploit trust through urgency and convincing narratives.

Like loads of others here, I got calls about selling my shares in Blacks Leisure, even though they went bust years ago. Weirdly, I got two calls on the same day, each from a different number - one was 0016462051200 and the other 008580549591. It felt like a dodgy sales scam to me.

I got a call from someone asking for me, but when I said I don't live there anymore, they just hung up. Seems like one of those firms we've had before claiming to buy shares off you for more than they're worth. I reckon they just go through the shareholder list to find your info or something.

Got a call at my house from someone who already knew my full name, where I live, and who I work for. They claimed the business was facing a hostile takeover and asked if I was interested in selling my shares. Definitely felt like a scam to me. I’ve told my workmates about it, so watch out and make sure you block this number too!

I got a call from 008580549591, and when I picked up, the person on the other end just kept saying "hellow hellow hellow" in this really odd way. I didn’t say anything back, and then they just hung up. Pretty sure they’re gonna ring again.

If you're wondering how they get hold of your info and the shares you've got, it's because by law all shareholders have to be listed on a public record. From there, it’s pretty simple to find your phone number in a directory. I've seen this scam run for over 15 years now, maybe even more.

I've been receiving calls from this number, and it appears they're reaching out to folks in the UK regarding yet another investment opportunity involving shares. They claim to be from Morgan and Berkely based in New York. For reference, their website is http://www.morganandberkeley.com/index.html. Be cautious!

Got a call just before 9 in the evening, didn’t pick up and it went to voicemail - they just put the phone down. Checked the number here and looks like a total scam, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked it.

Yesterday I got a call from 008580549591, some bloke claiming to be from a firm interested in snapping up my shares at an outrageously high rate to protect against a takeover. I almost fell for it, which is unlike me, honestly. What got me was how much personal info he seemed to have on me! Then he abruptly ended the call after saying he’d post over some paperwork. I’m not getting my hopes up.

Just got a call to my 85 year old mum (seems to be a common thing lately) about some Millwall shares my dad had passed away with. They kept going on about doing a takeover or something by purchasing shares. Proper dodgy!

Got a call from a bloke speaking with an American accent claiming to be from some place called Morgan Berkeley (no idea who they are!). He said he wanted to buy my Redrow shares. I had a bad feeling it was dodgy straight away but kept him on the line to see what else he’d say. He was offering way more than what the shares are worth right now. Told him he really shouldn’t be ringing a number on the TPS without permission, but he didn’t seem to care. I cut the call off pretty sharpish after that.

some bloke with an american accent rang me, but there was something odd about it i couldn’t quite figure out. he launched into a tale about some hostile bid for shares in millwall holdings, which i know is rubbish. he sounded pretty believable and spun a good yarn. all he wanted was £4120 from me - what a muppet! seriously, watch out for scams like this one.

I received a rather curious phone call from some brokers based in New York. They claimed to be representing a client keen on acquiring a significant stake in Millwall FC and were interested in purchasing my shares. They promised to ring me back the following day, but alas, I’m still waiting for that follow-up, and it seems I won’t be hearing from them anytime soon. Quite the mystery, if you ask me!

I received a call from someone claiming to represent Lauder Corporate, which I found out is a genuine firm during our conversation. They mentioned they were interested in acquiring some ITV shares that I hold. I reluctantly shared my email address with them, but I’m now feeling quite anxious about it since they wanted to forward me details regarding the purchase. Interestingly, I just got a dividend notice from ITV today. Do you reckon this could be a scam? Should I consider changing my email address for safety?

I got a call from a lady who spoke with a North American accent and acted like she already knew all my stock information. When she said she’d email me the takeover details, I told her to go ahead. She kept asking loads of questions, but I didn’t share much except gave her my backup email address.

Just like the previous comment, I got a call early evening from someone claiming to be in the States. They wanted my wife by name and said they were interested in purchasing Whitbread shares. I told them to send their proposal in writing. Sounds like they might be trying to build a position, so be careful if you feel tempted to dig deeper - this definitely has scam written all over it.

Got a call from someone with a mix of American and Chinese accent. They somehow knew I owned shares in Whitbread PLC and told me that an unnamed party held 44% of the company and was looking to increase that to 51%, basically gaining control. I mentioned I hadn't heard anything about this from the Whitbread board, and they abruptly ended the call. They also threw in the term "hostile takeover" before hanging up.

My mum, who’s 81, got a phone call from a lady saying she was from America and wanted to buy her shares in Trinity Mirror because an investor is looking to get 51% of them. After checking out the comments here about similar calls involving shares in other companies, I told her it’s definitely a scam. She’s blocked the number on her phone straightaway, where it should be.

Got a call on my home phone from a man with an Irish accent. He didn’t say his name but wanted to talk to my husband, who’s sadly passed away. I just said no straight away and hung up. Then he tried calling again a couple of times but didn’t say anything when I answered. Really odd.

A lady speaking with a really thick American accent rang up, asking for my dad and even knew his full name. I told her he wasn’t around, and when I asked why she was calling, she wouldn’t say anything, so I just ended the call. She rang back straight away, this time for my mum, again using her full name. I said she wasn’t at home, and the woman got quite irritated and kept asking where she was. I told her it was none of her concern and hung up. Over the last week, I’ve had about 16 missed calls from this number, and I think it’s probably her.

I looked up Hildebrand Capital Partners online and everything seemed legit. They were talking about buying shares and I even chatted with their attorney, sounded pretty convincing. It wasn’t until they mentioned needing me to pay some sort of insurance bond that I got suspicious. Nearly got caught out by the whole thing!

I got a call from someone named Alexander Pierce on my landline, asking about my Johnson Matthew shares. It baffled me how he knew I even owned shares and my number too. He claimed a buyer was interested in purchasing them. When I mentioned a letter I’d received that warned of a scam, he insisted the company directors were lying to stop a takeover and keep control. I told him I knew those directors personally and wasn’t convinced by his story. After he kept trying to pressure me into distrusting the directors, I just ended the call.

Got a call from someone with a really strong accent, asking loads about my shares because apparently there’s going to be a hostile takeover that’ll make them way more valuable. I told them if I was selling anything, I’d use proper methods, not just some random stranger from overseas. Feels like one of those dodgy scam calls that could easily trick vulnerable folks. Best to just avoid chatting with them.

I got a call from someone named 'Kate Anderson' with an accent that sounded Chinese, claiming to be calling from New York. She said I could get between £15 and £35 for some shares and wanted to send me some non-disclosure papers relating to a buyer interested in a majority stake of a firm. She mentioned that I'm listed as a shareholder on the company’s register, so they had my address and somehow tracked down my number, even though it's on the TPS. She also said she works for Gupta and the documents were likely to come from MacIntyre.

I got a call from Alexander Pearce at Lauder Corporate Partners about some Trinity Mirror shares. Thing is, I sold those shares like over a decade ago, but he seemed to know that. He was asking me to sign some sort of non-disclosure agreement. I couldn’t really figure out what he’s after. Something about a takeover and buying up shares, and apparently I still hold voting rights because of bonus shares I got after selling? It all sounded pretty confusing, and honestly, I didn’t quite get what was going on.

I keep getting calls from this number, supposedly someone named Chris Connor, Connors or maybe O'Connor. He’s rung me about four times now, also using another number 008647647747, both showing up on caller ID. I haven’t answered any of them, but it’s odd these calls from abroad even get past our call blocker, which normally stops anything not on the allowed list. Feels like they might have figured out a way round the block. No voicemail left either. It’s quite irritating and could be risky.

My mother-in-law, who’s quite old, got a call from someone called Raven Miller at Bernsein Securities about her McBride shares. The caller said they worked in the M&A department and were handling a hostile takeover. They offered 4 times the value of the shares and insisted she send over some documents. Definitely a scam, we ended the call straight away.

Got a call from someone named Michael Kingsley or something like that, left a voicemail mentioning Kingfisher plc. I figured he must've got my number through my mum. Later found out he'd actually phoned my 85-year-old mum first, telling her he needed an urgent document signed that he supposedly sent her a couple of months ago, saying the company was shutting down today. He sounded so believable that mum ended up giving him my contact info! Honestly, it felt really dodgy and way too convincing.

Over the span of two days, I got three calls from the same number. When I asked who they were with, I got two completely different company names. They mentioned something about shareholding, which I do have, but I never got them to confirm my own name or number. The guy, who said his name was Eric, got really rude and just hung up on me. I've since reported the whole thing as a scam to the Financial Conduct Authority.

Got two calls from this number in like 20 minutes, one for me and another for my missus. A lady with a Chinese-American kinda accent said she was from some securities firm, claiming they represent a client looking to buy Amec shares at £7 to £15 each. Thing is, Amec’s already been taken over and doesn’t trade on the LSE anymore. Feels dodgy, like a scam or something. Don’t really get what they're trying to pull here.

Got a call from a lady with an American accent the other day. My missus, who often fakes being the cleaner to dodge these calls, answered and asked if she could leave a message. The woman said she wanted info about buying Johnston Press shares and would ring back. Thing is, my wife used to work for JP and actually owns some shares herself - so how on earth did these scammers find out that info, and get her details too? It's pretty unsettling, to be honest.

They said they were from Bernstein Securities and wanted to buy my McBride shares for four times what they’re worth. It sounded kinda believable, and they called about four times. Of course, it’s clearly a scam. But since my number is ex-directory, I’m baffled how they got hold of it and even knew about the shares I owned. They even tried to ask for my bank details to send the money, which is super dodgy! Definitely something to watch out for.

This lady called claiming to be from Mercantile Securities in the US and said it was about a hostile takeover of Kingfisher. She had my name and everything. I told her straight up I wouldn’t talk about any money matters on the phone and to send something official in writing instead. Then she went on about how they’d already sent me paperwork in August but couldn’t resend it quickly since it was urgent I acted right away. I just kept refusing to share any info and she eventually gave up. Totally felt like a scam to me, dodgy and risky!

This number rang me earlier, I asked who was on the line and all I got was a heavy sigh and a quick "I'll ring you back". Sounds like one exhausted scammer to me!
