01204200293 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01204200293 👆 is reported as a persistent scam originating from a Bolton number, falsely claiming affiliation with local councils or housing associations. Callers often use South African accents and pressure individuals with intrusive questions about property conditions or tenancy status, despite many recipients not being council tenants or living in the claimed areas. They sometimes request sensitive information such as National Insurance numbers. Many victims note calls continue despite blocking the number. Several mention aggressive, pushy behaviour and an unclear organisation identity, with apparent call centre background noise. The calls are intrusive, unsolicited, and frequently flagged as suspected spam. Recipients are advised not to engage, not to provide personal details, and to block the number immediately to avoid potential fraud or harassment.

Beware of dodgy local housing scams going around, it's really getting out of hand!

Got a call from a woman who said she was from my council, but she had a South African accent. The number showed up as being from Bolton, which is nowhere near where I live. Thought it was a bit odd since that’s not my local council at all.

Saw a Bolton area code on my phone but didn’t pick up since I’m based in Scotland and definitely not on any local housing lists there. After seeing what others said about this number, I’ve gone ahead and blocked it.

This number just rang me up, it was someone doing a survey about housing problems...

There was complete silence on the other end, which kinda made me feel pretty awkward.

Just got off the phone with them, kept going on about the state of the place. Didn't want to deal with it so I just ended the call.

My lad got a ring from 01204 200 254, someone claiming to be from the housing tenancy folks, checking up on my flat. Thing is, he’s not even on the lease. When I called them out, told them I was onto their game from my job and asked for a manager, they mentioned they were based in South Africa before hanging up. There’s no doubt in my mind it’s a scam.

Got a call from this number but it showed up as spam on my screen so I ignored it. Just looked it up here out of curiosity. I’m blocking it now since I’ve been a homeowner for quite a long time and don’t want any hassle.

Got a call from that number earlier, and weirdly, the person on the line knew where I live. It was a woman and she was asking if I needed any repairs done. Bit strange if you ask me.

Got a missed call from 01204200293 but decided not to ring back as it seems a bit suspicious. Keep getting calls about repairs, the last two were from Bolton. Told the last one I wasn't interested. Honestly, this is getting really annoying now, so I'll just block and delete the number.

This number has rung me a few times even after I told them to stop. My place has no issues anyway. I put the number on block but still get alerts about blocked calls later. When I did pick up one time, I asked which council or local authority they were from. They kept saying the “disrepair team” but never gave a proper answer about who exactly they worked for. I just ended the call, felt like a complete scam to me.

Just got a call from 01204200293 about fixing something in social housing. Wondering if anyone else had the same?

They said they were from some social housing care thing, but when I asked for specifics they had no clue. Didn’t even know if my place was council, housing association or private rental. I told them I wasn’t interested and hung up. Seems dodgy to me, definitely some kind of scam so watch out.

So, this guy calling from 01204 200 293 phoned my mum about some housing issues and leaks. When she asked how he got her number, he told her he’s connected to housing and the council or something. The number is from Bolton, but my mum’s in London, which seemed odd. Honestly, he kind of spooked her with the call, left her feeling a bit uneasy about why he was ringing.

I can't remember his name but he said he was with the Tenant Help Service. He actually knew my full name and where I live. The call came from 01204 200293. Honestly, his accent didn’t sound British at all. I reckon it was a con artist. When I questioned why someone from Bolton was calling me he claimed the local council sent him, but I’m not even based in Bolton.

Someone living in social housing got a phone call from this number saying they were from the Social Housing Support Team in Bolton. They wanted to know if the tenant was happy with the place they rented. The resident felt a bit iffy about it but didn’t get asked anything too personal or invasive.

Got a call from someone claiming to be doing a local council survey, but when I asked which council they were from, they couldn’t even say the name that runs my area. Seemed dodgy to me.

Got a missed call on my mobile earlier. When I rang back, it just gave me a constant busy signal, no ringing at all. Earlier today, I answered a call on my landline and it was one of those robotic messages warning me about big withdrawals from my account. The last time I took one of those calls and pressed two to talk to someone, I ended up chatting with a scammer. So yeah, I’m pretty wary about it all.

Someone called saying they were from a tenants group and wanted to ask about my flat. They already knew my name and where I live, which was odd. Then they began asking for my birthday, which made me rethink if it was legit. They never gave me a phone number either, so I just ended it there.

Got a call today from this number saying it was about some work from the council. They asked me for my National Insurance number and stupidly, I gave it to them. Now I'm worried, what can I do to keep my info safe? Is it possible to get a new NI number or anything? 01204200293

I never pick up these calls since my phone flags them as possible spam, plus the number is from Bolton and I'm based in South Wales. They ring me loads each day, and now they’ve started calling as early as 8:21 in the morning. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.

I got a call from 01204200293, a guy with a South African accent who called himself William. He claimed he was with the government, dealing with housing issues like damp, leaks and drafts for both council and private tenants. When I told him I’ve been getting the same call every day and my reply hasn’t changed - “NO” - he said he’d take me off their list. However, while he was talking, I could hear in the background a bloke yelling insults at someone else on the other line and a woman shouting really loudly. It definitely sounded like a busy call centre going on.

Got a call from a lady speaking with a South African accent, said she was from the council. She asked if I was having any problems with dampness around the house. When I told her no, she ended the call super fast. Weird thing is, she already knew my name and where I live.

Somebody called claiming to be from a housing association wanting to inspect repair conditions for tenants. They already had my details like name, address and phone number. Once I told them I wasn’t a tenant, they just left it at that.

Had a proper nightmare with ClearcomSA. The guy sounded like he was from South Africa and reckoned they’re helping tenants because the housing board is useless. They were super pushy, really on the hard sell, but I managed to shut them down by asking for their business info. If anyone’s curious, their site is clearcomsa.com.

Got a call from someone saying they were "Tenant Support Services," checking if I was satisfied with the council property I supposedly rent. Thing is, I moved outta that place back in 2006! Honestly, bit of a laugh. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤣

This number belongs to some dodgy repair outfit. I did a quick search online and found loads of complaints about scams linked to it. They just keep switching up their tricks. If you get a call from this number, best to just not answer or hang up straight away.
