Reports on phone number 01202878160
8 yearsRelentlessly aggressive and frequently intimidating in their manner of speaking.9 yearsThey called me up asking for money for a phone protection plan from last year that I supposedly signed up for. Yeah, as if! Definitely a load of rubbish and just a scam if you ask me.9 yearsI got a call about renewing some kind of telephone protection plan, which ive never even signed up for. They said I needed to give my password for the policy, but I had no idea what they were on about. Then they hit me with a £140 renewal fee. When I asked how I was meant to have paid for this plan before, they just hung up on me. Definitely sounds like a scam to me.9 yearsGot a call from someone claiming they needed to upgrade my account, but I don’t even have one with them! Refused to say who they were or give any real info. Just ended the call straight away! Avoid them!9 yearsI received a call from someone purporting to be from CallBlocker, insisting that I was subscribed to their services and somehow listed in their database. Both assertions are completely false. Given that my number is ex-directory and I’m registered with the Telephone Preference Service, it’s clear they’ve obtained my details through dubious channels. I’d suggest steering clear of these kinds of calls!CallBlockerTelephone Preference Service9 yearsAvoid these folks like the plague. They’re just pushy salespeople trying to charm their way into your wallet and don't take 'no' for an answer. Honestly, I wouldn't lend any credence to those positive reviews either; they’re likely written by someone on their payroll. Just steer clear for your own peace of mind!9 yearsFor half a year now, this lot have been pushing products onto my elderly nan, and it seems like they've been passing her info around to shady firms that are just as dodgy. She’s got a direct debit going out for some kind of insurance she hasn’t got a clue about. The sellers were super smooth and acted like they knew her already, so she believed them and now she’s lost a good chunk of cash. Do yourself a favour and just hang up on these jokers! It’s total rip off!!!9 yearsGot a call from a lady insisting we’d activated some kind of call blocking thing with them back in 2015, and the password was "Tea and Toast". Thing is, we never signed up for anything like that. Plus, over the last two months, five separate people have dropped the same "Tea and Toast" line on me. When I called one out on their nonsense, they actually got really annoyed. It’s crazy how some folks will go to great lengths to try and scam you.9 yearsI got a call from a lady saying we'd arranged a call blocking service with her company back in 2015, and that the password was Tea and Toast. The thing is, we've never signed up for anything like that. What's even dodgier is that over two months, five different people all tried the same "Tea and Toast" trick. I called one of them out on their nonsense and they got proper annoyed. It's crazy how far some folks will go to try and scam you these days.9 yearsLoads of times I've had calls from some 'Call Protection Service' lot claiming I’ve got an account with them. They always mention my name and where I live, then push me to 'upgrade' something I’ve never signed up for or paid a penny. Every time I tell them to delete my info and stop ringing me, citing TPS and data privacy rules. Half the time they either get all dodgy or just hang up on me. Honestly, it’s a scam if you pay them. There’s no proper address or any company registration to be found - definitely not a trustworthy firm.Call Protection ServiceTPSCompanies House9 yearsBeware to all, 01202878160 might be dodgy!9 yearsI’d say steer clear of 01202878160. They aren’t genuine and seem to be targeting elderly folks to scam them out of their money. If they really operate out of Bournemouth, someone should track them down and shut them down quick.Bournemouth9 yearsGot my welcome pack and certificate through today, and everything seems legit, no dodgy stuff going on. Had my lad look it over just to be sure.9 yearsWatch out for those green comments, they definitely seem like they're coming from people who work for this company. If they’re really as good as they say, why don’t they share some proper info like their official address, website, company registration details, VAT number, or the names of the directors or owners you can actually check? Until they do that, I wouldn’t trust a thing and reckon it’s best to steer clear. Those green comments aren’t convincing anyone I know.9 yearsThis isn’t the TPS you’re thinking of, it’s actually the Call Prevention Team from Telephone Protection. The Telephone Preference Service is free but doesn’t really stop calls legally because lots of call centres just don’t bother respecting it. What this lot do is chase down companies that keep calling you even after being told to stop. I’ve just paid a one-time fee for their service and honestly, they’re really good at sorting it out.Call Prevention Team from Telephone ProtectionTPS9 years01202878160 definitely a scam. They kept ringing saying the Telephone Preference Service had been sold and offered some ‘good news’ about a one-time payment that would block nuisance calls forever. They also tried to get me to confirm if the number belonged to my address, which made me suspicious. The way they talked felt more like a sales pitch than a genuine support call. I remembered TPS is supposed to be free, so I ended the call and verified - it’s still free. Check out [#]tpsonline[###][###] to be sure.Preference ServiceTPS9 yearsAbsolutely, they are indeed a firm specialising in phone security. My mum has just signed up with them and has received her welcome pack. Everything seems perfectly legitimate!9 yearsReally nice folks, super helpful and they seem like genuine professionals.9 yearsI got a call from this number offering some kind of phone protection. I wasn't sure at first, but I went ahead and signed up. The welcome pack arrived today and it looks pretty good, so fingers crossed it actually does what it promises!9 yearsI looked up the website for this company and decided to give it a go. I'd say if you’re fed up with endless cold calls, they’re probably your best bet - I’ve tried the TPS but it didn’t really help me at all. Honestly, been dealing with this nuisance for ages! Cheers, John here from Glasgow.TPSJohnGlasgow9 yearsGot a call from an English call centre asking about who used to live here before me. When I said the older person had moved on, the lady just said sorry for the trouble and hung up. After seeing other comments, I suppose I'm not quite the right age group they're after.9 yearsReceived a call from some UK centre pitching a service to shield my landline from spam and cold calls. Telephone Protection, they called it. Seemed promising but I decided not to go for it.9 yearsWhen I got a call about halting sales calls, I was a bit skeptical at first. But then they sent me a booklet in the post, which turned out to be quite useful. So, I decided to proceed with it. I'll share how it goes soon.9 yearsthis lady called me, said she was from the "telephone preference" service, speaking with a pretty neutral accent. i asked a few questions and she told me she'd add my number to their list. when I checked if she was some kind of scammer, she said no and then just ended the call really fast.TPS9 yearsI got a call from a woman who spoke English really well and sounded legit. She said she could stop unwanted calls if I paid a monthly charge. Total rip-off, honestly.9 yearsI got a call from a firm claiming they could block all those annoying calls if I paid a £134 one-time fee. Seems a bit much, don’t you think?9 yearsDon’t give these lot a penny. Make sure to report em to the action line and help protect the vulnerable from getting scammed by these folks.9 yearsI got a call from a young woman with an English accent who claimed to be from the Telephone Preference Service. She said she was aware that I’d been reporting a lot of nuisance calls, including ones about sales, insurance, and even some from Indian call centres. Out of the blue, she tried to sell me a “one day only” deal that promised £120 off something, but I quickly ended the call.Telephone Preference ServiceSubmit Your Own Report (01202 878160)
