I've been hit with several landline charges suggesting I've called this number, yet I can assure you we're neither dialling it nor getting any calls from that line. Seems like a bit of a con to me!

A couple of hours back, I flagged this as a potential scam, and it turns out it’s linked to Vitaline devices. Quite the revelation!

I keep getting calls from this number and I'm being billed for it, yet I haven’t made any calls to them. It’s quite frustrating!

I've noticed that the number 01253768147 is likely a scam. I keep getting charged for calls I haven’t even made! It’s quite frustrating, to say the least.

I've found out this number belongs to Vitaline's monitoring service. It's used when you press your emergency pendant to ask for assistance. It's part of a safety system set up by social care for adults who live on their own and might need help. Don't worry, the number is legit, though when you call it, it does make a strange noise like a fax machine before connecting you to someone.

I got charged 30p three times by bt scam and when I called back it was just a fax machine. What a joke!

Got a call through the internet from BT, but it was definitely a scam. Watch out, people!

I keep getting billed every month by what seems to be a fax machine service, but I don't even own a fax machine. I tried calling the number from my mobile to figure out why there are charges linked to my landline, which is never even connected. I spoke to Sky about it and they’re investigating, but honestly, it feels like some kind of scam.
