Phone number ☎️ 01202497178 👆 is reported as a number associated with scam calls targeting individuals with claims of a previously purchased call blocking service. Callers often know personal details such as names and addresses, and pressure victims into paying fees for supposed upgrades or continued coverage. Many recipients deny any prior agreement, with some reporting aggressive behaviour and threats when refusing to comply. Vulnerable people, including the elderly, appear to be specifically targeted. The calls frequently involve demands for payment without providing written confirmation, and some complain of repeated calls despite refusals. Authorities and fraud services are being alerted to this activity, so it is advised to remain cautious, refuse to share personal or banking information, and report suspicious calls.

9 yearsI got a call from a young woman claiming she was with some kind of phone blocking company. She wanted me to verify the last four digits of my bank card. I told her to send me an email instead. Looks like the same scam mentioned earlier.9 yearsGot a ring earlier today from someone claiming I’d agreed to some call blocking service last year. They mentioned a password that I had no clue about. Gotta admit, she was quite polite when she ended the call!9 yearsToday I got a call from a company named Secure Block. The woman on the phone already had my name and address and said I had put down a deposit with my debit card almost two years ago, even mentioning the card itself. She told me there was an outstanding £98 fee for the full call blocking service. I made sure not to give her any info she asked for. When I asked her to send me something in writing, she said that’s not how they do things! I told her to cancel it straight away and hung up. Also, on the 18th May 2017, I got a very similar call from a withheld number. The caller said almost the same stuff but then turned really aggressive, threatening to take me to debt collectors and the police!Secure Block9 yearsGot a call from someone pretending my 78-year-old dad had bought a "60% block on nuisance calls" three years back and now supposedly had to cough up £100 for a "lifetime plan". They even had his name and address! My dad would never, ever buy anything like that. Absolute lowlife trying to trick elderly people out of their money.9 yearsGot a ring from a young lass claiming i’d joined their phone blocking service a couple of years back, and now they were offering an upgrade to cover international numbers for a one-off fee of £98. Thing is, i’ve only ever registered for the free TPS and never paid a penny to them before. When i mentioned i hadn’t lived at the address they said i’d signed up from in more than 10 years, she just dropped the call.Telephone Preference Service9 yearsGot a call from some young bloke who said I'd supposedly signed up and paid to block nuisance calls. He even used my full name and address right, which freaked me out. I told him I had no idea what he meant and never did anything like that. But he kept pushing, getting quite pushy, saying he'd got my bank info right there to back it up. I just ended the call pretty quick. Honestly, it left me feeling quite rattled and upset - really unsettling experience.9 yearsMy elderly mum, who’s 82, got 3 calls from someone claiming she’d joined a call blocking service 2 years ago for free but now had to pay to keep it. I told the bloke it clearly didn’t work since he was still ringing her up! He kept going on about the free 2 years only covered 60% and that paying in full would cover her completely. I told him to stop contacting us and cancel whatever he was trying to sell. Total scammers!9 yearsGot a call from this number, there was a lot of noise in the background and before I could say anything they just hung up. Another annoying spam call!9 yearsI got two calls earlier claiming they were from Boiler Care Group, telling me I’d been paying £19.99 and could now get it lowered to £12.99. I had a quick look at my bank statements and found no sign of any payments like that. Later, they rang again with the same spiel. I told them I’d already talked to someone and there’s nothing showing on my bank for them. The person said sorry and admitted their records must be wrong!Boiler Care Group9 yearsThis number rang me a couple of times today from some firm called Secure Block. They said they stop annoying calls and that I was signed up with them, which I definitely wasn’t. Pretty sure it’s another scam so I’ve reported it to the police fraud unit.Secure BlockSubmit Your Own Report (01202 497178)
