01179088260 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 01179088260 👆 is reported as a phone number used primarily for cold calling on behalf of charities, notably Crisis and occasionally wildlife or aged care organisations. Callers often seek confirmation of Gift Aid eligibility or donations, sometimes requesting sensitive information, which has raised suspicions among recipients. Many report receiving multiple calls at irregular hours, with no messages left, and a reluctance from callers to disclose full details citing data protection concerns. Several users express discomfort about unsolicited contact despite being on telephone preference services, and some worry about potential misuse of their personal data or consent. The overall experience appears intrusive and raises caution about sharing personal or financial information with unknown callers using this number.

10 yearsMy dad's been grumbling about receiving endless calls from this number, with the callers claiming to be a charitable organisation. We're keen to find out how to stop these nuisance calls altogether!10 yearsJust circling back to our previous note from last month titled 'L. 5th April 2008'. It turns out that the individual who rang us is indeed associated with Crisis, and we’ve received verification from them along with subsequent correspondence.10 yearsI didn't have anyone respond to me when I rang this number.11 yearsThey've given us a bell three times over the last few weeks, but we've chosen not to pick up. Strangely enough, they haven’t left any voicemails either.11 yearsReceives calls every day at varying hours. Not a single message has been left behind. I've never had any dealings with these callers. They appear to be quite bothersome!11 yearsOh Cristy Cunnick, it seems you’re missing the point here. Regardless of your integrity or morality, it’s simply unacceptable to start ringing people the moment they’ve joined the Telephone Preference Service. This is particularly concerning when you consider that many of those who back the charities you raise money for tend to be from the older demographic. It’s quite disheartening, really.Cristy CunnickTelephone Preference Service11 yearsReceived a call earlier today, and my partner answered it. The caller claimed to represent a charity we're involved with, but then they said, due to data protection regulations, they couldn’t disclose which charity they were affiliated with. It seems quite absurd, doesn’t it? The whole point of those laws is to protect our information, not keep us in the dark!11 yearsThis number calls me at strange hours, and I suspect it's linked to a charity for the elderly. Since I've recently changed my phone number, it’s evident that they’ve contacted me previously on my old one.11 yearsThis number has called us several times: once at 13:16 on 10 April 2008, again at 14:33 on 14 April 2008, and then at 15:45 on 18 April 2008. Each time it was a missed call, and they didn’t leave any messages. Regarding earlier remarks, I’ve never come across any service by the name of 'Crisis.'11 yearsI received a call on the 3rd of March, but unfortunately, I missed it. I don’t recognise anyone from this area code at all.11 yearsIt seems there’s a bit of a mix-up regarding a charity we supposedly back. To be honest, I wouldn’t want to divulge any further details to my mum. The only charitable cause we contribute to is the Blue Cross; we make generous donations every time we take our dog there. Other than that, we’re not involved with any other charities at all.Blue Cross11 yearsReceived a call from this number at 6:55 in the evening. I let it ring out because we never pick up for numbers we don't recognise. They didn't leave a voicemail either, as per usual. Quite frustrating, really!11 yearsGave us a bell earlier on and hung up the moment we picked up.11 yearsReceived a call from some bloke while we were just chilling at home. He didn’t say who he was, hiding behind the whole data protection thing. Somehow, he had our name and address, which is a bit dodgy if you ask me. We told him that we couldn’t have a proper conversation unless he reveals who he is first. In the end, we just hung up.11 yearsI received a rather peculiar phone call this afternoon (Saturday, 12th June 2010) from someone claiming to be associated with the RSPB. They seemed to have some knowledge about my visit to Leeds Castle and the form I had filled out supporting wildlife conservation. The individual was exceedingly polite and quite chatty, attempting to engage my partner in conversation. They requested my bank details, stating they needed it to set up a £1 weekly contribution (as if, more like £10), supposedly to aid their bird conservation efforts. Thankfully, when we probed further into the matter, he insisted my partner's sort code was required. At that point, I thought, absolutely not! We promptly ended the call. There’s no way I'd divulge my financial information to a stranger over the phone.RSPBLeeds Castle11 yearsThe phone rang, but it cut off the moment I answered.12 yearsIt seems that a few individuals have been ringing us, claiming to be associated with Crisis-an organisation that we've recently received a donation from. They asked for a verbal nod confirming that they have the right to claim Gift Aid. Interestingly, they didn't seek any further information; just the confirmation of our address, which we provided. Fingers crossed everything is on the up and up! 🤞🏼Crisis12 yearsCalled me twice in quick succession, just five minutes apart, but didn’t bother to leave a message. Quite peculiar, really!12 yearsReceived a missed call from this number on 23rd February. There was no voicemail left behind. We don't know anyone who uses this area code.12 yearsThe call concluded without any recorded message on the answering machine.12 yearsReceived a missed call with no voicemail left. We're unfamiliar with this number and have no dealings with anyone in Crisis. Just so you know, I've registered with the telephone preference service.12 yearsThis number consistently calls us at six o'clock every evening, yet we never answer it. Quite the persistent little nuisance, isn't it?12 yearsI called but there was nobody on the other end as soon as I picked up. I don't recognise anyone from the Bristol area code at all...Bristol12 yearsReceived a call around 8pm this evening. We couldn't shake off a shifty feeling, so we tried ringing them back to see if anyone would answer. They did pick up, but we ultimately thought it best to just let it go and cancel the call. Could well be someone trying to peddle something to us, you know?12 yearsReceived a call at 15:09 on the 21st of February, 2008, while we were away.15 yearsI received a call today, and when my husband picked up, the caller claimed to represent a charity I contribute to. However, they stated that due to data protection regulations, they were unable to disclose which charity it actually was. It’s rather peculiar, as those laws are meant to protect my personal data, not theirs!Submit Your Own Report (0117 908 8260)
