01202080479 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01202080479 👆 is reported as a persistent and intrusive scam commonly involving calls from someone claiming to be "John" at the Driveway Centre, frequently asking if the recipient has a driveway. The callers often use multiple local Bournemouth area numbers and employ repetitive or silent calls. They refuse to answer questions about where they obtained contact details and do not respect requests to stop calling. Despite many recipients having no driveway, calls persist and messages are rarely left. This appears linked to broader cold-calling scams including home improvements and government-related offers. Blocking numbers provides limited relief, as scammers frequently switch numbers or use spoofing. Victims are advised to report such calls to the police fraud database and raise the issue with MPs and telecom regulators to combat these coordinated nuisance calls effectively.

This is a typical driveway scam, they ring from numbers like 01274066186 and 0162229248. They always say something like "John here from Driveways, you still got a driveway, right?" If you don’t answer, they just keep repeating the same message over and over. Not sure what other phone numbers they're using, but it’s really irritating.

I've received several calls today from individuals asserting they were representing some sort of government debt programme. Their English was rather poor, and they came across as quite curt. Just like the others I've encountered, this one couldn't even get the name Geoffrey right!

So I got a call from some bloke claiming he was from a company that deals with driveway parking. Trouble is, he had no clue what my name was and asked if I had a driveway. I didn’t really want to say so I flipped it back at him and asked where he had found my phone number. After that, he just went quiet and didn't say a word. I tried asking again but he stayed silent, so I ended up hanging up. Seems dodgy to me, like a scam or something, since he couldn't even answer such an easy question.

I received a call from someone who clearly didn’t have a clue about my name. He claimed to be representing a driveaway parking firm, inquiring whether I still had a driveway available for parking. Rather than responding to him, I confronted him about how he obtained my phone number. He fell silent, so I pressed on, but he continued to keep mum. After several moments of his silence, I decided to hang up. The whole exchange seemed rather dodgy to me, especially given his reluctance to address such a straightforward inquiry. It’s likely a scam, in my opinion.

When I told him to quit calling and that I wasn’t interested in any resin driveway, he just kept talking right over me. Honestly, felt like a dodgy call, probably a scam.

Then he kept going on about my driveway. I told him I wouldn't say anything else unless he properly told me who he was. Next thing, he just hung up on me. Definitely felt like a scam to me.

Strangely enough, the voice resembles that dodgy "Government-sponsored insulation" scheme from past years. It’s rather frustrating since it’s a local number, which leaves me guessing whether it’s something to do with work or perhaps just this AI system that seems to be programmed to listen in and react to what I mention.
