01142218977 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01142218977 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation falsely claiming to be from the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). Callers use various UK numbers and often ring multiple times a day, attempting to extract sensitive information like bank or debit card details. The callers display knowledge of individuals’ names and addresses, but cannot satisfactorily explain their purpose or verify their identity. Many reports describe hang-ups, aggressive questioning, or suspicious behaviour such as refusing to answer basic questions or suddenly ending calls. Several victims have blocked the numbers after multiple nuisance calls, noting the calls frequently come from different numbers but with similar patterns. The consensus is that this number is linked to fraudulent activity targeting personal and financial information under the guise of updating TPS details.

These idiots keep ringing me over and over, and no matter how many numbers I block, they just call from another one. I'm so fed up with these scammers trying to con people. Last time my husband picked up, he gave the caller a mouthful, but before we knew it, they were on the phone again from a different number.

This morning I got two calls from 01142218977, both within about 45 minutes. They kept saying the same thing about TPS. I've also had calls from 01908551275 which feels like it might be the same outfit. Both these numbers have been ringing me pretty much every day!

I received a call from someone purporting to be from the Telephone Preferencing Service, claiming they could grant a lifetime ban on unwanted calls. When I tried to ask a few questions about the call, they became evasive and refused to provide any clarity. I decided to reach out to the TPS directly, and they confirmed that this was indeed a scam - they would never initiate contact with registered users over the phone. Beware of such dodgy calls!

Just like many others have mentioned, this whole telephone preference service sounds like a total scam to me.

Got a call from a woman speaking with an Indian accent saying she was ringing from the Telephone Preference Service. She asked if I wished to pay a one-time fee of £21.99 to upgrade my free TPS registration. She said their office was in London but couldn’t explain why the number showed up as Sheffield on my phone. After I said no thanks, she just said goodbye and ended the call.

Despite clearly asking them to stop, they kept phoning me over and over. Reported the issue to the ICO as they ignored my requests.

Got a call from someone claiming to be with the Telephone Preference Service. They actually knew my name and where I live. Then they asked me to confirm that I lived at my address. After that, they started talking about my visa debit card, but I just ended the call.

Got a call earlier from this number claiming to be from the telephone preference service. They knew my name, address and postcode, then asked if I was the account owner. Next, they wanted the last four digits of my Visa card. I told them I didn’t have one and wouldn’t say if I did. I also said I’d be reporting them to the police for harassment. This is the fourth time this week I’ve had calls from this number - something fishy is definitely going on!

I got a call from someone claiming to be from the Telephone Preference Service, but they were asking for my debit card info. They told me my sort code and account number was some sort of user ID for TPS. Then they said I needed to pay to stop all the nuisance calls. Felt really dodgy!

I rang the landline and asked for someone else’s name since we’re meant to be ex directory. The guy who answered, sounded Asian, said he hadn’t a clue who I was talking about. Then he asked if I was the one paying the bill, I said no, and he just cut the call. Feels dodgy, pretty sure it’s a scam.

These muppets kept ringing me so I decided to turn the tables and asked for their bank info, saying I was from the TPS dept and had them traced online. Weirdly enough, they never called again.

Got a call the other day, they were pretending to ask about my phone preferences but quickly tried fishing for my bank info - total scam, no doubt. I played along for a bit, then told them I was with the police. Guess what? The call just suddenly cut off. Suspicious much? Definitely dodged a bullet there!

Got a call earlier today from someone saying they were with the TPS, but a quick Google search showed the number belongs to an old travel agency that's no longer in business. Definitely a scam, so I've gone ahead and blocked it.

Got a call from an Asian bloke claiming he was checking info about the telephone preference service. He asked me for my card details, which seemed dodgy. When I asked him what he was doing, he said his name was Austin Jones and gave some ID number like UK0251 or something. Didn't really sit right with me, so I quickly ended the call.

They said they were calling on behalf of the Telephone Preference Service, but it was obvious they were just reading off names from the old UK phone book, as they used the outdated name listed there instead of mine. Seemed like they were fishing for my bank card information.

The phone provider couldn't even give a straight answer when I asked which company it was. Total scam, through and through!
