Phone number ☎️ 01233280133 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation posing as a call blocking or Telephone Preference Service (TPS) department, often using local UK numbers to appear legitimate. Callers claim to verify personal details but push for sensitive information such as debit or credit card expiry dates, sometimes offering costly call blocking devices that are ineffective. Many victims, including elderly and vulnerable individuals, experience threats to their financial security, with fraudulent charges reported. Despite requests to stop, calls may continue relentlessly and originate from overseas call centres, commonly linked to South Asia. Users are advised to exercise extreme caution, never disclose card details, verify caller identities independently, and report such calls to the proper authorities to protect themselves from deception.
Reports on phone number 01233280133
9 yearsSo, this company has been ringing me loads - once yesterday and then thrice today, even though I told them to knock it off. I even mentioned I’m aware they’re not legit. They claim to be from some call blocking service. Yesterday, they had the cheek to ask my husband for his bank card’s expiry date. Luckily, he’s super wary of strangers on the phone and wasn’t having any of it; he just laughed and hung up on them. The callers sounded Asian or maybe Indian, or from somewhere similar.9 yearsI got a call from a number that said it was international but when I picked up, it was an Asian woman claiming she worked for some TPS office. She started asking me to verify stuff she clearly already knew, like my phone number, how I pay my bills, and where I live. Then she went on to ask for the expiry date on my debit card - that’s when I told her no way and asked for her number. She gave me 01233280133, which isn’t even an international number like she said. This kind of call seems really risky, especially for older folks who might get tricked easily.TPS9 yearsI got a call from a woman who sounded Asian, claiming to be from some TPS office. She started off by asking me to verify details she clearly already knew, like my phone number, how I pay my monthly bill, and my address. Then she wanted me to confirm the expiry date on my debit card. I wasn’t having that, so I asked for her contact number. She gave me 01233280133 which definitely isn’t an international code. This kind of call seems really risky, particularly for older folks or those who might be less cautious.TPS10 yearsI received a call from a number that claimed to be associated with the Telephone Preference Service's Advance Blocker Division. The person on the line introduced herself as Althea Williams and mentioned that she was calling to verify my wish to remain on their database aimed at blocking unwanted calls.Telephone Preference ServiceDivisionAlthea Williams10 yearsReceived an unsolicited call from this number.10 yearsthis number called my mum the other day. she says she never shared any card info with them but when i checked her bank statement, there's a odd charge for $103usd. has anyone else experienced something like this?10 yearsHad a woman ring claiming my mum’s direct debit was about to expire, kept pestering her to fetch her debit card and give out details. Said she was from ess#x or something, but the number showed up as Ashford. Same old nonsense really.EssexAshford10 yearssome bloke called himself mark cox and gave a phone number starting with 01233, which I think is from kent. he tricked my 88-year-old mother-in-law into handing over her debit card details. when my wife went to visit her and found out, she phoned the number back and confronted him. he promised to sort out a refund. we've contacted the bank and asked them to block the transaction. it's crazy how people like this can carry on scamming folks without getting caught.Mark CoxKent10 yearsQuick follow-up to my earlier comment. I called back (1471 came up) and pretended to want to order something, which had me cracking up. My missus was nearby and could hear me struggling not to laugh as I went full-on with a request for a massive 10-inch fiery pizza and loads of extra chips. The bloke said I’d got the wrong number, so I asked if this was "Scams Kebab House" or something. He said no, so I told him I’d ring Scams instead and just hung up, grinning like a loon. Now my other half is keen to have a go at the next call!Scams Kebab HouseScams10 yearsGot a call from 01233280133 and right away you could tell it was someone from India by the way they were talking. I played along for a while but then they passed me over to another agent. This second bloke said he was there to set up call barring for me. Next thing, he starts asking for my credit card digits! How is it that a bunch of full-time scammers sitting in a room can keep making these annoying international calls and no one stops them? It’s ridiculous!India10 yearsThey tried to get my debit card’s expiry date. The call came from a number listed on the company’s TPS register in the UK so I reckon this has got to be illegal. When I asked where they were calling from, it sounded like “asset” but I think it was actually Ashford, Kent. The number they called me from was 019722241070, and when I asked for a contact number, they gave 01233280133 to ring back on.UKAshfordKent10 yearsthis lot keep calling and say they're from ‘block my call’. i told them i’m on the tps list and they go it’s just for calls from abroad. but then they say they’re calling from ess#x. i said yeah, we want to stop spam calls from overseas, but you’re a spam call from the uk, so you should know i’m signed up to tps. he just didn’t get it so i ended the call.Telephone Preference ServiceEssexUKTPS10 yearsI got a call from the so-called telephone preference management team, who started asking for my home address straight away. Then they went on about my debit card being expired and whether I pay my phone bill by direct debit. That’s when I told them to say who they actually were. They claimed they’d post out a call blocker gadget to your house for a fee. Watch out though, these scammers sound pretty convincing, though they do come off a bit cheeky in how they chat to you.10 yearsI picked up what I suspected to be a dodgy call from something claiming to be "The Telephone Preference Management Service." They mentioned that this was their service desk's number. It seemed like a cold call to me, and I can't help but think it's just a scam.The Telephone Preference Management Service10 yearsEven tho I signed up with the TPS, I got a call from some annoying guy with an Asian accent asking for my direct debit expiry date and then a long card number. I told him I couldn’t see the details properly but he kept insisting on that info. Honestly, how come they still manage to get through TPS? What kind of joke is this country at, and Ofcom too, for not doing anything about these scammers? They’re all useless. The number they called from was 01233280133. These calls pretending to check if you’re “not a robot” are just scams. Never trust them.Telephone Preference ServiceAsiaTPSOfcomSubmit Your Own Report (01233 280133)
