01163040638 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01163040638 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance and scam number associated with callers falsely claiming to represent the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). Callers typically use high-pressure tactics to obtain personal and financial information, including bank or debit card details, often targeting vulnerable individuals such as pensioners. Multiple users have received frequent calls without messages, featuring callers with foreign accents insisting on re-registering them for TPS, which is misleading as TPS registration is free and online. Recipients are advised not to share any sensitive information and to block the number. The calls have been described as harassing and potentially dangerous, reinforcing that genuine organisations do not solicit personal financial details by phone.

Got a call from a Leicester number, this girl kept asking if I’d recently had an accident or something like that. Was a bit odd so I just ended the call and blocked it straight away.

I first got a call from 01163040633, and they kept ringing me over and over till I picked up. Took ages before someone actually spoke. The person claimed they wanted to sign me up for the TPS after asking if I was bothered by nuisance calls. I sussed it was a scam and hung up straight away. Then the next day, a different person rang from 01163040638, trying the same trick. I told them to get lost and haven’t heard from them since. Being a pensioner, it seems like they might be aiming at older folks like me, which is pretty worrying, especially for vulnerable elderly people.

Got a call from someone saying they were from the Telephone Preference Management Service, but honestly it felt dodgy. They told me I was already signed up with them and then asked for my bank or debit card info - total scam alert. The real TPS is free and only online. I said I wasn’t the account holder and asked for their phone number, they gave me 02036305457. When I checked it out, it turned out to be a scam number. So yeah, don't hand over any personal info if you get a call like that!

Had a call from a supposed scammer asking for my visa debit card details, sort code, and account number. I kept stringing them along by mentioning my Tesco club card and plenty of other stuff to waste their time.

From 7th to 12th Feb, this number kept ringing me about 14 times. I don’t recognise it at all and just ignored every call. They never left a voicemail either. Feel like it's just some annoying nuisance. Definitely unknown and pretty irritating.

From 12th Feb till 14th Feb, I got 14 calls from 01163 0406387. I have no clue who they are 'cos I never answered. There wasn’t even a voicemail left. Honestly, it felt kinda like they were just annoying me nonstop.

They said they were from TPS. I told them they don’t actually make calls and asked what company they were really working for, then they just cut me off.

Could tell it was a call centre from all the noise in the background, and the guy sounded like he had an Asian accent. He asked if I was still on the TPS to block unwanted calls. When I said yes, he told me my registration had “expired” and said he could sort it out so it’d be active from tomorrow if I went through some steps with him. I reckon it’s a scam, as I’ve heard others got asked for things like their BT bill payment details or credit card info to “renew” it. I just hung up straight away.

This number, 01163040638, has called me 4 times just within the past couple of hours. Quite annoying!

This number kept ringing me five times today. I answered but said nothing, just stayed quiet, and they ended up hanging up. Figured if they’re paying for each call, they might give up soon.

Got three calls all within like four hours. Finally picked up the third, and it was some call centre bloke with a really strong Asian accent who called himself Alex Jones. He said he was from the TPS and asked if I’d been getting a lot of nuisance calls. I told him 'yeah, and this is actually one of them,' then he just went quiet and ended the call.

For the past couple of weeks, I've been getting loads of calls from this number. In just the last hour alone, it's buzzed my phone 5 times! They never bother to drop a message on my answerphone either. So yeah, they've been added to my blocked contacts now.
