01242800250 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01242800250 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation primarily targeting individuals with calls pretending to be from NHS Covid services, debt agencies, or citizens advice bureaux. Callers often use aggressive tactics, employ heavy South Asian accents suggesting offshore call centres, and frequently change phone numbers to bypass blocks. They request personal information like vaccination status or life insurance details and respond rudely when challenged. Many victims report no voicemail left, high call volumes with multiple daily attempts, and some experienced credit loss or harassment. Genuine organisations do not typically cold call in this manner. Users are advised not to answer unknown numbers, avoid sharing personal information, block and report these calls, and remain vigilant as these scams continue despite widespread awareness.

I didnt pick up but after reading these reviews i called back and it said the number was disconnected cause they broke the terms of service. So why bother ringing me in the first place?

They keep ringing me nonstop even after I blocked one number, using different ones each time. Other numbers they tried calling me on include: 01242 800258, 01242 800256, and 01242 800255. It's really annoying!

They claimed the government wanted to make sure I was alright after my Covid vaccine, I told them if they knew that much about me, they’d have my email too, so just email me instead, then they just ended the call.

Someone rang me pretending to be from a Credit Agency, saying I had multiple debts under my name that had to be settled. When I said I wasn’t about to talk to him, he just hung up and shouted some nasty swear words at me before ending the call.

I got called 3 times by someone saying they were from citizens advice bureau, saying I owed money. I told them that citizens advice bureau never calls you out of the blue like that asking for stuff, and that they were obviously trying to scam me. They then hung up straight away.

This morning at 09:24 I got a call from a number I didn’t know so I just let it ring out. My call blocker didn’t seem to think it was dodgy, so I guess they’ve got some fresh list of numbers to churn through. Seriously, how are these #### even getting hold of our phone details? It’s gotta stop already.

I keep getting calls from these people, always pretending to be checking up on Covid from the NHS. They start asking if I have Life Insurance, and they’re really pushy about it. The accent’s super thick and hard to make out, sounds like it’s from somewhere in Asia. I blocked the number but they somehow manage to ring me from other ones. Gotta be one of those call centres, really think they should be shut down for good.

Got a call from someone with an Indian accent and loads of noise in the background, claiming to be from the Covid Health Line. I've had these calls quite a few times lately. They’re just trying to find out if you have life insurance because apparently, you “must” have special covid coverage if you end up in hospital. I told them to do their homework before calling the UK! What a load of nonsense - totally a scam, no doubt about it.

Got a call claiming to be from NHS about covid, but they kept denying it was a scam. Then they started asking about life insurance, which I refused to answer, and the guy got really annoyed. Before cutting me off, he called me daft. There was definitely some serious bad temper. Fingers crossed they get taken down soon.

Got a call from some bloke with a South Asian accent, sounded like there was a busy office in the background, maybe a call centre or something. He claimed he was ringing from the NHS asking if I’d had the vaccine. I told him to get lost and asked where he got my number from. He just muttered a bit and then just cut the call. I’ve blocked the number now - definitely a scam.

I got a call from someone saying they were from the Covid support team, but then they started asking about who I have my life insurance with. Felt like a dodgy offshore call centre trying to snag my details to pass on to insurance firms so they can hassle me with sales calls. Honestly, best to just ignore it!

It seems that they purport to be a debt collection agency, yet they're quite intimidating and resort to swearing, even accusing you of dishonesty if you mention that you’re debt-free or uninterested. Personally, I’ve taken to ignoring any unfamiliar numbers. Any legitimate caller would typically leave a message, allowing me to return their call if needed. I make it a point to block these numbers after doing a bit of digging.

Got a call from someone claiming to be with a debt company, and they already knew my name. Told them I didn’t owe anything, but they accused me of lying. I just told them to sort their life out and ended the call. Then they called again, swearing at me, so I just cut the call off.

Lately I keep getting tons of calls, maybe 10 daily, all from some dodgy debt collectors. It's gotten so bad that I’m scared to pick up even if it’s something important since I have no clue who’s ringing. A few days back, I did answer one and ended up losing credit on my phone, which was just nuts. This whole situation is getting beyond ridiculous now.

This morning I got a call from 01242 800250, but I've got a simple hack to dodge dodgy calls. If it’s a number I don’t recognise, I just don’t pick up! Proper businesses will usually leave a voicemail, and only then do I bother ringing back. Funny enough, nearly 95% don’t leave any message at all. I avoid calling unknown numbers too, cause I’ve heard you can get stung with crazy connection charges - some people say it can be up to £100 just to get through! So it’s better to play it safe and ignore.
