Honestly, the smartest move is to just block these scammers as soon as you can. They’re only trying to rip you off, so don’t give them a chance. Whether it’s using BT Call Protect, Sky Talk Shield, TalkTalk Call Safe, a call-blocking phone like the BT 8600, or built-in features on your iPhone for calls and texts, plus whatever call-blocking apps you might have - just get them blocked quick.

It’s quite amusing how these so-called TPS callers, pretending they can 'block all nuisance calls’, are actually part of the problem themselves! Being registered with the official TPS in London doesn’t do much good when scammers are spoofing numbers. These fraudsters can ring you up from any corner of the globe, often using VPNs and VoIP technology - you can easily google these terms. They typically fake UK area codes, sometimes from very remote or unusual places, just to trick you into thinking the call’s genuinely from the UK! It’s a clever facade, but don’t be fooled.

I had this number trying to call me yesterday but the call never connected. Reading through the comments, it seems like it's linked to some Indian TPS scammer thing. I got a call from a different one of those numbers not long ago and had to block it, so maybe these two are connected somehow.

This person said they were calling from TPS and claimed they could block annoying calls. They said they didn't need any info from me at first. Then out of nowhere, they asked for the expiry date on my debit card, saying it was just for their records. Bit suspicious if you ask me.

The person on the line had such a strong Indian accent that I couldn't understand a single thing they were saying.

Got a call from someone claiming to be with TPS, sounded like an Indian scammer. Managed to pick up a couple of new English words from the nonsense they were spewing!

They rang saying they were from the telephone preference service, asking if I was getting loads of unwanted calls. I told them they were exactly that and to bugger off.

Got a call from someone claiming to be from TPS asking for my card details, but I quickly told them to get lost. Pretty sure it was one of those scams from India.

Had a dodgy call from some lot pretending to be from the TPS. Their English was awful, so there’s no chance they’re really from Birmingham. Told them where to go, quick smart. Total scam if you ask me.
