Phone number ☎️ 01226988962 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance scam claiming association with the DVLA, targeting vehicle owners with inaccurate or outdated information about emissions and car details. Callers often know your name and car registration but provide contradictory facts, leading to suspicion. The tactics include pressuring for payments, offering false compensation for diesel vehicles, and using multiple similar numbers to bypass blocks. Many recipients have experienced rudeness, hung-up calls when questioned, and repeated harassment without leaving messages.

Users strongly advise caution and report these calls as fraudulent and potentially dangerous.

3 yearsSomeone rang me saying my car had some kind of gadget fitted and I owed £15,000. Honestly, they really deserve to be behind bars for this nonsense.3 yearsReally impolite, trying to pry information.3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from the DVLA about diesel emissions. They already knew the car owner's name and reg plate, but the mobile number they called was wrong (it’s actually a family member). When I asked what they wanted and how they got the number, they just hung up. Felt really dodgy since hardly anyone has this number for that person.DVLA3 yearsAbout two days ago, I got a call from someone claiming to be from the DVLA. They had loads of my info, like my name, address, and even my car's registration. I ended the call straight away and blocked the number, but they kept ringing me from different numbers non-stop.DVLA3 yearsI got a call from someone claiming they worked for the DVLA and knew my name, but the number didn’t ring any bells so I just ended the call.DVLA3 yearsGot a call from London earlier but no voicemail was left. Not going to return the call.London3 yearsAbsolute rubbish about emissions. Some pushy telemarketer who acted like they were so important. Didn't seem to get that they were the ones being rude and invading my privacy.3 yearsSo, they somehow knew about a car I sold back in July 2015 and even got the fuel type right - it was petrol. Then they went on to ask me if I had ever owned a diesel one. Don’t really know where they dug up those details from. The car originally came from Mercedes Benz in Preston, and I ended up selling it to Mazda over in Bolton. Has anyone else had dealings with either of these places?Mercedes BenzPrestonMazdaBolton3 yearsTotal scam, don’t fall for it!3 yearsGot a call supposedly about emissions and said they were working with the DVLA. They had my full name and details of a car I sold ages ago, like 7 years back! I just ended the call and popped the number straight on block.DVLA3 yearsLooks like one of those usual diesel fumes cons. I just blocked the number straight away.3 yearsGot a call from someone who already had my name and car reg details. They said I might be due some compensation for buying a diesel vehicle, but the reg they mentioned was for a petrol one! Ended the call and blocked them straight away. Honestly, how do these scam callers still get away with it?3 yearsToday I got a phone call from someone saying they were with the DVLA. But as soon as I started questioning them, they just cut me off and ended the call.DVLA3 yearsMy phone provider usually warns me if a call might be a scam or some dodgy number. Sometimes I just wish I could give those awful scammers a good whack, but sadly, it’s not something we're allowed to do!3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming Mercedes installed some part in my diesel that wrecked my fuel mileage and that I should get back tens of thousands of pounds. Thing is, I drive a petrol car and have never even owned a Merc! Total scam, no doubt about it.MercedesMerc3 yearsI picked up the phone and the person just ended the call right away.3 yearsPeople keep ringing me but don’t say anything and then just drop the call. So annoying!3 yearsGot a call about my diesel vehicle even though mine runs on petrol, which is weird enough, but the strange thing was they actually had my car registration details? Didn't make much sense to me!3 yearsReally annoying call!3 yearsI keep getting calls from this number and whenever I pick up, they just drop the line straight away.
