Reports on phone number 01242508624
11 monthsThey kept insisting on speaking to me and kept using my actual name, even though I told them to f*** off multiple times.1 yearIts a complete rip off! They might drop a voicemail to trick you into ringin them back, but dont believe a word. Never return their call or share any details!1 yearI got a voicemail that went something like, "Hi, this is Oreo/Oreal calling. We've got a sales issue that needs sorting out. Please ring us back on 01242508627 and mention OVEST23477. Cheers." It sounded a bit urgent but kinda sketchy too.OreoOreal1 yearGot a call from some robot voice asking me to ring a place named Oriel. Definitely a scam, so I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.Oriel1 yearThese calls are just automated scams, don't listen to what they say! Just hang up straight away and make sure to block those nasty people!2 yearsI got a voicemail from Oriel debt collectors, with a ref number included. Initially, I figured it was just another scam, but after checking around, it seemed legit. So I rang them back using the ref number given, and a friendly woman named Alicia told me my number had been mistakenly linked to a case but they’d sorted it out and taken it off. Haven’t had any more calls or messages from them since then.Oriel Debt Collection AgencyAlicia2 yearsGot a call that was completely silent, so I just ended it and blocked the number straight away.2 yearsGot a call from someone called Amy claiming to be from Oriel. Pretty sure it was one of those dodgy scams, so I thought I’d just mess around a bit for a laugh. 😅AmyOriel2 yearsWhat a scam, instantly blocked the number.3 yearsI got a call from this firm after somehow they got my number from somewhere they really shouldn’t have. I’m pretty sure of it because I gave them a name that clearly points to the leak. Feels like they're linked to a group that preys on folks like us. Watch out and stay alert.4 yearsI received a call today from someone claiming to be debt collectors. I’m a chap and have had this number for more than a decade now. They also left a message for someone named Muriel, which felt a bit off. Definitely sounds like a dodgy operation to me!Muriel4 yearsI received a phone call claiming I have an unpaid debt, but I've no clue which company they’re referring to. Best to just disregard the call.4 yearsIf you happen to have debts with companies like Sky, Oriel debt management probably already has your info. Just a heads up if you’re dealing with owing money.Oriel Debt ManagementSky4 yearsGot a call from some place called Oriel, which they said was a debt collection firm. They asked for my info right away to verify my identity. I’m not handing out my details to anyone without checking who they really are first, and you shouldn’t either. They wouldn’t tell me anything about themselves or what they wanted, blaming it on some ‘data protection act’ - total nonsense if you ask me. If they’re legit, they should be able to properly prove it without hiding behind excuses. My tip? Just block the number and don’t bother answering.Oriel5 yearsGot a call from 01242 508624, and an automated message started blabbering about some company starting with the number zero, claiming it wasn’t a sales call. It gave a reference number and asked me to ring back using that reference. Didn’t bother calling back though, decided to check the number here first. Turns out it’s flagged as a scam, so I just blocked it straight away. Would advise others to do likewise.5 yearsLately, I’ve been getting calls from this number about once every week. I picked up once, and the person on the other end was asking for someone I’ve never heard of, and then they just hung up. Definitely felt like a scam to me. So, I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.5 yearsI got a call from someone saying they were from a debt collector named Oriel, but it’s definitely a scam. They don't have any real info on you and most probably have no idea who you are. They’ll keep ringing and leaving annoying messages, probably trying to get you to phone back which might charge you. Best thing is to just block the number straight away.Oriel5 yearsJust got a call from someone saying they're from a debt collection firm named Oriel. It's definitely a scam. They probably dont have a clue who you are and there’s no way you owe them anything. Best thing is to just block the number, they’ll keep ringing and leaving messages trying to get you to call back, which might end up costing you. Stay clear of it!Oriel5 yearsReceived a call today while I was in Edinburgh. Claimed to be operating out of Cheltenham. Utter rubbish, best to just disregard it.EdinburghCheltenham5 yearsI got a text from this number telling me to ring back and mention some reference number.5 yearsthis numbrr keeps ringing me over and over. I let it go silent so it might get flagged as some scam. ended up blocking it anyway.5 yearsCan anyone tell me who this might be? They’re starting to get really annoying.5 yearsI just had a dodgy phone call from someone purporting to be from a debt collection firm named Oriel.
