01144387940 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01144387940 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance scam targeting UK landlines, often masquerading as the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). Callers typically claim to offer a service to block unwanted calls but then demand a payment of around £21. Recipients frequently experience silent calls or aggressive behaviour when challenging the caller’s legitimacy. The scammers appear well-informed, sometimes mentioning the victim's name and phone provider, adding to the deception. Multiple calls from different numbers linked to the same scam have been documented, with no genuine connection to official organisations. Users are advised not to engage or share personal or banking details and to block and report these numbers to appropriate authorities such as Ofcom for investigation and prevention.

They rang me three times and didn't leave any voicemails. Checked this site and glad I did. I've blocked the number now, but I'm sure they'll just call from somewhere else next.

Got a call from someone saying they were offering to block spam calls, but it was just the typical annoying nuisance stuff.

Got a call from someone saying they were with TPS about an upgrade and wanted £21. Seems dodgy to me, so I’ll be reporting this number to Ofcom.

Said they were from TPS about some upgrade and asked for £21, I’m definitely reporting this number to Ofcom.

Somebody called pretending to be from the telephone preference service, I managed to keep the chat going for about 20 minutes.

Over the past couple days, this number has rung me nearly a dozen times. It was a woman with an Indian accent saying she was from the telephone preference service, insisting I’d signed up before - which definitely isn’t true. She tried to get my bank’s direct debit reference number. When I said I didn’t want to share anything and mentioned it sounded like a scam, she got really annoyed. She even said that if I ever received a scam call, I’d be able to recognise it easily!

I got a call from this number two times today. The second call I actually picked up, and they said they were from the telephone preference service. They even knew my name and who my landline provider was, which was a bit creepy. They kept pushing hard, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked them now.
