Phone number ☎️ 01234816140 👆 is reported as a persistent and aggressive nuisance call frequently linked to scams. Callers often falsely claim affiliations with organisations like the NHS, Citizens Advice, or government-backed debt relief schemes, using Covid-19 vaccination or debt-related pretexts to gain personal information or promote insurance products.

Many have flagged the number as untrustworthy and recommend blocking it to avoid harassment and potential fraud. Be vigilant and avoid sharing any personal or financial details if contacted.

This number keeps calling me several times this week. The first call claimed to be from StepChange, then the next time it said something about CAB. Today, it came up as an NHS record update, but now it's saying it's about car insurance. It's a blocked number, really weird.

Got a call from some bloke called "Steven" claiming to be from the Covid Help Desk - quite suspicious if you ask me. When I told him he sounded dodgy and was probably a scammer, he just cut the call. Shame really, I was kinda up for a natter!

I got a call from someone claiming they were teamed up with the government, saying it was some charity thing to help sort out debts. They mentioned they could knock off about 60% of what I owed. Sounded dodgy to me.

Some bloke with an Indian accent called pretending to be from the NHS, asked if I had my covid vaccination proof, then quickly started pushing life insurance on me. Proper cheek to use the pandemic as a way to sell insurance. Told him off for it straight away.

This bloke kept ringing me back over and over, sounded like he had an Asian accent. First, he was asking about Covid jabs, then suddenly started asking about my life insurance info. I asked what it had to do with the NHS, but he just wouldn’t stop. I didn’t give him any info and ended the call. He rang again almost straight away, so I told him I was blocking the number. Watch out as they can be pretty pushy and sometimes come from 0161 numbers as well.

Got a call from them again, and it felt like a nuisance or scam. They started off asking about side effects from Covid as part of some survey, but then suddenly asked if I had life insurance. I told them that didn’t seem related to the Covid questions and asked why they needed that info unless they were trying to sell insurance, and they just ended the call.

I was waiting for a call from family, so I slowly made my way over to the phone despite my mobility issues. But as soon as my answer machine picked up, the person on the other end just hung up. So frustrating! I’m not young anymore, more like stuck in ancient times. Honestly, can’t we find a way to give these callers a taste of their own medicine??

Could be a scam, judging by the other comments here. I missed the call and didn't get a chance to talk with whoever it was. There’s no voicemail either, and the number’s totally unfamiliar, so I’m going to block it. Big thanks to everyone who picked up and flagged this as suspicious - it’s awesome how we can warn each other so fast! Also cheers to "Who Called Me UK" - brilliant site! x

Got a call from a woman with a pretty thick South Asian accent, and I was struggling to catch what she was saying. She kept mentioning Covid quite a bit. When I asked if I had requested the call, she said yes, but when I pressed for details like when and how, she couldn’t really explain. I told her I wasn’t interested in taking the call, and she just said good night and hung up.

Got a call from someone who clearly had my name, asked to speak to me. Since I was waiting for a call from an unfamiliar number I figured why not. There was loads of noise in the background though. He said he was ringing about my covid pass, that same old story again. Told him I'm not interested and ended the call, then blocked the number. Honestly, do they really think people don't know how to check their covid info or get a pass by now??

Around 6pm I got a call from a woman saying she was from Citizens Advice. She had a strong South Asian accent and it sounded like the same person who was reported earlier for phoning someone about Covid. She said she was from Citizens Advice but never asked for me by name, which felt odd. When I said I didn't expect a call from them so late in the evening, she got really rude and shouted something like “Oh so you work there and know better? Go **** yourself” and then just cut the call. Proper cheeky behaviour!

Someone rang my nan and grandad asking if they’d got their covid jabs yet, and then started pushing them to say who their life insurance provider was. Really felt like they were trying to get information for dodgy reasons.
