01179088972 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01179088972 👆 is reported as a persistent and intrusive cold-calling number linked to charity fundraising, often associated with organisations like Greenpeace, Cancer Research, and Ethical/Ethicall. Callers frequently hang up immediately upon answer or maintain silence, causing frustration and suspicion. Numerous recipients report multiple daily calls, sometimes up to seven, leading many to block or screen the number aggressively. Contact details appear to be obtained without clear consent, with some callers pressuring for regular donations or personal details. While the organisation behind the calls may offer opt-out options, these are often not clearly communicated. New visitors are advised to approach with caution, avoid sharing information, use call-blocking tools, and verify any association independently before engaging.

I keep getting calls from this number all the time. Luckily, I have a call blocker that only lets calls through if they’re on my approved list, or if they say their name and I choose to answer. Since nobody ever bothers saying who they are, my phone rarely even rings. It’s brilliant and honestly worth the £50 I spent on the two-handset set. After that, I always look the number up here and block it straight away, so they don’t bother me again!

If you’ve just given to charity like Stand Up To Cancer, watch out for calls from this number asking for more regular donations. I donated recently and got a call from them. They mentioned you could opt out, but it wasn’t very obvious, so loads of folks probably didn’t realise they were agreeing to more contributions.

this number and 01179088268 kept phoning me loads. first, they said they were from children in need and then greenpeace. not sure if they’re legit or just some sales or scammy people. best to just say you don’t accept cold calls and ask them to send any info in writing. then block them straight away. never share any personal info with these callers.

I keep getting calls really late at night and they just drop the line the second I pick up. Fingers crossed it’s not some expensive reverse charge. I’ve stuck a block on my phone for those numbers now.

I've been receiving calls from this number. It seems like unsolicited marketing, as I hardly share my phone number with anyone. I typically ignore calls from unfamiliar numbers, but it's becoming quite tiresome. I'm baffled as to how they managed to get hold of my digits.

this number keeps calling me like 4 to 7 times every day. whenever I answer, I just stay quiet and they start talking their usual nonsense. after a bit of silence, they hang up. i then leave my phone off the hook so they can’t make another call untill I put the receiver back. it kinda stops them for a while.

Just wanted to share some news regarding my removal from Ethicall's calling list. I got this email: --- Hello xxxx, Many thanks for reaching out to us. I’m pleased to inform you that we’ve successfully placed you on our do-not-call list, so you shouldn’t expect any more calls from our end. I apologise for any hassle this may have caused you. Best wishes, Louie **Ethicall Logo** Louie Holmes Deputy Data and Fulfilment Manager Phone: 0117 9088965 Email: [email protected] --- So, looks like I’m all sorted now!

Before you consider giving them a call, I highly recommend you take a moment to look into the sky-high charges associated with dialling 0908 numbers. You can find all the details you need at http://www.area-codes.org.uk/0908-numbers.php. Better safe than sorry!

Take a gander at the rather misleadingly titled Ethicall fundraising enterprise. **Registered Office:** Ethicall Ltd, The Waterfront, Welsh Back, Bristol, BS1 4SB, United Kingdom **Contact Number:** Tel: (0117) 908 8250 It seems you can ask to be removed from their mailing list by dropping a line to [email protected]. Let’s see if Ethicall follows through on their commitment.

I've encountered a similar issue recently. While I was at Wickes, I found myself rather swayed by an exceptionally convincing pitch from a so-called independent fundraiser. However, I swiftly excused myself when he insisted I sign up and provide my bank details on the spot. Unfortunately, he already had my mobile number, so I only have myself to blame. The charity in question was Feed Africa, and I can’t help but wonder if they might have passed my information along to others. It’s a lesson learned, but it’s frustrating to see how some organisations exploit people's good intentions.

I've been getting calls from this persistent nuisance. They're an unsolicited fundraiser representing various charities. They ring me frequently and never bother to leave a message. I ended up having to call them back just to figure out who was on the other end. Turns out, it's a group named Ethical - they’re all about fundraising for charitable causes.

This number has been pestering me consistently for the past fortnight, ringing every couple of days. I haven’t a clue who they are or what’s led them to my digits. I simply don’t pick up calls from unfamiliar numbers-anyone I wish to hear from is already saved in my contacts.

I've received two calls from this number so far. The first time, by the moment I picked up, they had already disconnected, and to be honest, I didn't bother to check the caller ID. On the second occasion, I simply declined the call. It's rather irritating! How on earth did they get hold of my mobile number in the first place?
