Concerns Rise Over Unwanted Calls from 01204578784

In recent months, several people have voiced their frustration regarding a phone number believed to be associated with potential scams and aggressive marketing tactics. Many users on our platform have left comments about the frequent and troubling calls they’ve received from 01204578784, claiming it is linked to companies operating under the guise of legitimate business practices.

Frequent Calls Leave Businesses Tried

Several commenters reported that they receive daily calls from this number, with representatives asking to speak to high-ranking officials in their companies, particularly the Managing Director (MD). One individual noted, “Called everyday wanting to speak to the MD of the company. When told they were not available, they wouldn’t leave a message or say who they were and would email.” This lack of transparency has left many puzzled and concerned.

Another user echoed these sentiments, saying, “Very pushy people! Said they were calling from a credit asset management department. I rang off multiple times, but they kept calling me.” Such persistence puts individuals in a challenging position, where their daily routines can be disrupted by unwelcome calls.

Identifying Scammers

The comments reveal a chorus of frustration that aligns on one key point: many believe the callers are scammers. One user explicitly warned others, “SCAMMERS. DO NOT answer to them.” They reported being contacted by individuals claiming to represent a credit protection company, which raises red flags about the nature of these calls.

Another commenter shared their experience with “Leon Teale” from the so-called “credit protection association,” describing them as “dodgy” and alleging that they were unwilling to share a contact number with the answering service. The pattern of uncooperative and aggressive behaviour has left many in doubt about the legitimacy of these calls.

Rude Responses Leave a Bitter Taste

Numerous users have described the representatives at the other end of the line as rude and unprofessional. One individual recounted their experience, stating, “called asking to speak to the MD by name, wouldn’t give any info when told unavailable.” Their insistence on speaking to the MD without providing context has been met with increasing frustration.

Further testimonies revealed that when questioned about their identity or purpose, the callers would often refuse to divulge any information. A user recounted a conversation where the caller insisted it wasn’t an unsolicited call, demanding to know “your name please,” to which they replied with a firm “no.” Many felt such tactics were inherently aggressive and left them feeling uncomfortable.

Preventing Future Calls and Raising Awareness

Users are now taking steps to alert others about this number and have taken to blocking it in a bid to stop the incessant calls. Comments like, “will be blocking this number” underscore the callers’ lack of regard for professional boundaries.

Several users have urged others to avoid engaging with these calls altogether. One warned of the “scam artists” behind the operations, while another detailed a rude encounter with an unnamed “Ms Khan,” who had reportedly called multiple times with aggressive tactics.

Moreover, some users expressed their disbelief at the continued presence of such callers, with comments like, "Why do these telemarketing companies even bother?" resonating with many who have dealt with rude and unyielding representatives from 01204578784.

Conclusion: Awareness is Key

The comments regarding 01204578784 paint a concerning picture of harassment and potential scams. As more individuals share their experiences, it becomes increasingly obvious that the number has gained notoriety for its unwanted calls and aggressive attempts to solicit business.

As always, it is advisable to exercise caution when dealing with unknown calls, and the community members have rightly highlighted the need for vigilance and sharing experiences. Awareness of scams and aggressive sales tactics is essential in today’s environment, and by continuing to share information about these numbers, we can help one another make informed decisions and protect our peace of mind.

I received a call from a chap named Leon, who claimed to be following up on a late payment my firm allegedly owed. It had all the hallmarks of a scam, if you ask me. Absolutely adore this site for its ability to verify and exchange information!

This number has been ringing me constantly, asking to chat with the managing director of our firm. Whenever I mention that the MD isn't around, they refuse to leave any details or even reveal their identity, insisting that they'll make contact via email instead. Quite the nuisance, really!

Received a call from someone purporting to be from a credit protection firm, going by the name of Leon Teale. My answering machine fielded the call, yet he refused to provide his number. Interestingly, the answering service was privy to it. I'd steer clear if I were you; seems rather sketchy.

I received a rather insistent call from a so-called CPA who claimed they were keen on making contact with FD. When I pressed them for further details, the chaps at credit asset management said they weren’t in the slightest bit interested. They got quite irate about it, so I decided to terminate the conversation.

I received a call from a chap named Justin Tarrant over at CPA, and he was trying to get in touch with the managing director directly. When I probed him a bit on the nature of the matter, he insisted it was confidential and came across as rather curt. Quite a peculiar interaction, I must say!

I got a message from a chap named Aaron Frost at the Credit Protection Association. Turns out they’re a type of debt collector. After doing a quick search, I found out they’re a bunch of scammers, so I decided to block their number right away!

Had a chap ring asking for the MD specifically, but he wouldn’t reveal the purpose of his call! It seems he plans to try again next week. Good luck to him, as I’m the one holding the gate!

I've had a rather unpleasant experience with Ms. Khan from this company. Her manner was quite forceful, and this isn't the first instance of her contacting me. I believe it's important to bring this to attention.

I received a phone call from a woman who insisted on speaking directly to my managing director. When I inquired about her identity, she cryptically claimed it was privileged information. I explained that he doesn’t entertain random calls, to which she sharply retorted that it wasn't a random inquiry and demanded my name. I simply replied with a firm "no" and hung up on her!

I received a call where they were keen to chat with the business owner. When I returned the call, I was greeted by a mechanical voice informing me that it was a promotional call from the Credit Protection Association. Very dodgy, if you ask me!
