01223856397 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01223856397 👆 is reported as a persistent scam using a Cambridge number, where callers often claim to represent the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). Callers, frequently speaking with Asian accents, attempt to obtain personal and banking details under false pretences. Many recipients have experienced multiple calls daily, with scammers displaying some accurate information to gain trust. Genuine TPS is free and would never request bank details. Attempts to verify the calls reveal suspicious inconsistencies, such as mismatched area codes and aggressive or evasive behaviour. The number is considered a nuisance and phishing threat, with advice to ignore or hang up immediately and not provide any personal data. Blocking may help temporarily, but scammers often call from different numbers. Reporting such calls to authorities is recommended.

01223678797 called me too, quite similar to what others have said. It was a woman with an Asian accent who then handed me over to her manager. They already had some of my card info but not the full bank details. She said they were from TPS or something like that. It didn’t feel right, so I ended the call and checked the number by calling 1471.

I answered the phone and just said hi, but they hung up straight away. Total scam, no doubt.

They called claiming to be from the Telephone Preference Service and then asked for my debit card info. I told them TPS is free, so there’s no way they’d have my card details. Totally dodgy call if you ask me.

I just got a call from an Asian bloke ranting about blocking my phone - he somehow had all my info, which was proper creepy. He tried to get me to give him my bank card details, so I just hung up on him. He called again but I didn’t pick up. Honestly, I’m so tired of these pesty scam calls, they come almost every single day.

I’ve been getting loads of calls daily from this number, just like other folks said. The first time I picked up, it was some Asian guy claiming to be from the TPS. Now I just let it ring out, but it’s really annoying. I rang up my provider Virgin to see if they could block it, but they told me they only block withheld numbers, so that’s no help at all. Honestly, I’m stuck on what to try next.

They claimed they were calling from the telephone preference service, but when I asked if it was legit, they gave me a London address. Later on, I checked and the number was actually from Cambridge, which seemed odd. They had all my info and even mentioned that I’d supposedly given them my bank card expiry date as 2018. That was definitely a lie since I’ve never signed up for telephone preference. I just ended the call straight away.

I've had enough of those scam calls, so I've gone ahead and blocked them all now!

Got a call from a woman with an Indian accent, saying something about nuisance calls. I mentioned I was in the middle of getting one myself! The number displayed was from Cambridge. When I tried to call back, it showed up as "unrecognised."

This bloke who sounded Asian kept calling about my phone preference service being up for renewal. He’s quite persistent but instead of just hanging up, I leave the receiver off the hook for a couple of hours. That way, the line stays busy and it probably costs them a bit while stopping them from using that number to hassle others as well!

Got a call from a guy speaking another language, claiming to be from TPS or something. He knew a bunch of stuff about me, which freaked me out a bit. I just ended the call straight away. Now just bracing myself for whoever rings next.

This call was clearly a scam, trying to fish for info. Never share or confirm any details. Blocking one number won’t help much since they just ring from other ones, like we got today from 01223678797. I’m sure they aren’t even close to Cambridge and are probably faking the numbers, focusing on certain UK regions at a time.

Got a call earlier today from a woman with an Asian accent asking for a name I don't recognise, coming from 0122 385 6397. I told her I'd had this number for over a decade and that it definitely doesn’t belong to that person. She immediately cut me off, quite abruptly. My BT number regularly gets these nuisance calls, loads of them with similar accents. That area code looks like it's from a call centre somewhere around Cambridge. Funny thing is, my number’s on the do not call registry and isn’t listed anywhere - I’m pretty keen on keeping things private.

This number's rung me up a couple of times, always asking for someone I don't know. Proper annoying people.

Got two calls this morning from guys claiming they were from TPS, both sounded Asian. They kept saying my service would expire today or something. I told them straight up they were just scammers and hung up. Annoyingly, I got a second call from them later on.

Honestly, just cut the call right away. They're only after your bank info. Total rip-off!

I got two calls from this number but since I didn’t know who it was, I just let it ring out.

Got a call from a bloke with a foreign accent who asked if I was [my name], then tried to check if I owned the number. Pretty sure it was connected to Openreach or something like that. He ended up just hanging up on me. :-)
