Phone number ☎️ 01226666748 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number, primarily targeting older homeowners with calls about supposed new government regulations on care costs and selling homes.

Many users warn others to avoid engagement, confirming it as a known nuisance call linked to fraudulent activity. Authorities encourage reporting such calls through official channels to help tackle these widespread scams effectively.

Had a clear, polite voice say it was Carecostsolutions wanting to update me on some new Government rules. I kept quiet and just hung up straight away. Funny thing is, these calls usually expect you to ask what rules they mean, turning their statement into a chat. Totally a scam for sure. And you know, all scams could be risky biz.

Got a call from someone saying they were "Sam from Care Cost Solutions" about some new government rules. I asked him to repeat the company name and he gave me a different name but I can’t remember it now. When I pressed him on it, everything went quiet and then the call ended. Could’ve been a robot bot that ended the call 'cause I wasn’t responding the way it wanted.

I had a chat with a bloke named Sam from Care Cost Solutions regarding the latest government legislation. When I asked, "What was your company's name again?", he responded with something entirely different that I simply can’t recall. Upon pressing him for clarification, there was an awkward pause before he abruptly disconnected the call. I can't shake the feeling it could have been an auto-dialler that picked up on my confusion and decided to end the conversation. Quite peculiar, if you ask me!

Not every call from an unknown number where they don’t leave a voicemail is a scam. Sure, most are, but there’s the odd genuine one. For example, the last one I got was from my hospital consultant regarding some biopsy results. Handling scam calls isn’t tricky. There’s info on how to stop them shared below. This particular number is definitely a scam, and it's best to report it. You can block it if you like, but that won’t really cut down the flood of scam calls we all get.
3 years
The comment about 10 posts below this explains why just blocking numbers doesn’t actually stop the amount of scam calls we all get. HOWEVER, those posts do give some tips on how to actually deal with scam calls. It just needs a bit of work. Scammers count on the fact that most of us Brits don’t put in the effort. That’s how they keep getting away with it.

This is definitely a scam. They said they were from a law firm giving advice on protecting my money for care home fees. They wanted a ‘legal advisor’ to call me back. When I told them I’m a solicitor, the bloke hung up straight away!

Care Cost Solutions are just trying to frighten people into thinking they'll have to sell their home to cover care expenses. When I asked the government how they got our number, they said it was from a list of folks who’d used earlier schemes. Total scam if you ask me.

If they ring once and don’t bother leaving a voicemail, honestly just block the number right away, that way you won’t get hassled again!

I found myself on the receiving end of a rather lengthy monologue regarding government regulations from this caller. Despite my attempts to politely interject and ascertain who was on the other end, they merely spoke over me, completely disregarding what I had to say. In the end, I decided to hang up, which I would strongly recommend to anyone else who finds themselves in a similar situation with this number.

Got a blocked call, no voicemail (no shock there), quick check online backs up my hunch (source: UKPhoneInfo site): "01226 area code is for Barnsley and nearby places. This number isn’t part of any assigned range. Calls from this number are probably fakes, with the caller disguising who they really are. Ofcom data shows 01226666 numbers aren’t allocated. When number blocks are retired, they’re usually kept unused for about 2 years." = Total fraudsters!

Received a call regarding a supposed government initiative. The chap on the line started sounding quite dodgy, so I thanked him for his time and promptly ended the conversation.

They said they were from some care commission or something. After looking it up, it's clear this is a scam taking advantage of government stuff. They even told me to check BBC News updates. Honestly, I’m fed up with how news outlets twist stories to make everything seem worse than it is, stirring up anxiety and messing with people's heads. I stopped watching the news ages ago and I bet plenty of others feel the same.

Got a call from this number 01226666748 on my landline. A bloke said he was from Care Home Solutions, but he sounded really aggressive and made me feel uneasy. I couldn’t even say anything before he kept going on. Ended up hanging up and have blocked him now.

Received a call today from someone inquiring if I’d caught the latest report on the BBC about the Government allegedly tricking folks into offloading their properties. I told him to shove off and promptly blocked his number.

I received a rather rapid-fire phone call from a gentleman who seemed particularly keen on discussing the various worries that elderly individuals might encounter when it comes to selling their family residence to fund their stay in a care home. He appeared to imply that the government would claim all these resources. He also mentioned wanting to pass me over to a solicitor who specializes in elder law for a deeper conversation - he asked for the spelling of my surname and my age bracket. I wasn’t inclined to engage with him further, so I politely declined and ended the call.

01226666748 Someone rang me saying they were from some agency about stopping people from having to sell their homes when going into care. I told him it’s not relevant to me (definitely a scam) and hung up straight away.

I had a rather peculiar phone call earlier. The chap on the other end brought up something that vaguely resembled "care solutions" and proceeded to inquire if I was clued in on the latest government regulations. I told him quite firmly that I had no interest in his spiel and that he was simply squandering his breath. Consequently, I took the liberty of blocking his number on my home phone.

Some bloke called me claiming to be from some government program. I'm a senior lady living on my own. He was really forceful and aggressive, never giving me a chance to speak. I asked him nicely to stop, but he wouldn’t listen. I ended up having to cut the call off because it was stressing me out. I've blocked the number now.

I received a call from this number yesterday. They began chatting about some government announcement about needing to remortgage your home to cover elderly care costs. I told them that’s nothing new, and then the line just went dead. I quickly worked out it was a scam, as they hung up before I could tell them to stop calling. Definitely a scam.

They claimed to be from a firm that stops the Government from selling your property if you move into care. They asked me to ring back their legal team to get advice and give some personal info. It all felt a bit dodgy, so I kindly said no and ended the call.

Got a call from 01226666748 but luckily my BT phone with True Call blocked them straight away and ended the call, so they couldn’t bother me. Honestly, I’m quite impressed with BT’s technology. Anyone who truly needs to get in touch just has to say who they are and hit the hash button, just like the instructions say when they ring first.

As soon as my answerphone kicked in with the message, "Because of nuisance calls I don’t pick up myself anymore", the caller said nothing and just ended the call. I’m ex-directory and signed up to the TPS, so really they shouldn’t be ringing me in the first place! Problem solved.
