Reports on phone number 01256577978
2 yearsGot a call from a bloke who wanted to speak to one of our directors, calling him by his first name. I tried to find out which company he was representing, but he kept dodging the question and only told me his name was Charlie. When I pushed for more info about where he was calling from, he just ended the call. Felt pretty sketchy to me.Charlie2 yearsGot a call asking for my boss by first name, the caller claimed they'd spoken to them yesterday and wanted a callback today. Thing is, my boss wasn’t even in yesterday. The caller said they’d ring again later, but after having a look at the number and seeing all the bad reviews, I went ahead and blocked it.2 yearsGot a call from a person talking about new upgrades to our local phone exchange. Total con, nothing’s been changed at all and honestly, who even uses landlines these days? Just feels like they’re targeting the older folks who wouldn’t see through it.2 yearsThe person on the phone was really blunt, claiming they’d been chatting with a Director but the call got dropped. They wanted me to transfer them "back" to their mobile, acting like they already knew the person and had a conversation going - which wasn’t true at all. When I told them I couldn’t get into their schedule, they just hung up.2 yearsHad a call from someone trying to flog phone system packages to businesses, completely out of the blue. They must have searched Companies House beforehand, coz they asked for the directors by their first names like they were mates or had spoken before - which they totally hadn’t. Classic telesales trick to get through to the decision makers who handle the cash. I checked their reviews online, and they’re full of complaints about ripping off companies with sketchy contracts. Proper dodgy bunch!Companies House2 yearsThese cold callers are so dishonest. They claim to have talked to the MD, which is completely untrue, and get really aggressive if you don’t give them what they want. It feels so sleazy how they push phone systems. Honestly, I’d steer clear of this company entirely.2 yearsGot a call from someone saying it was Ripple - whatever that’s supposed to be - about upgrading the local exchange. They were super pushy and wouldn’t take no for an answer, just kept going on and on. Got a bit too full of themselves, so I just hung up!Ripple2 yearsLoads of calls from this number, always goes to voicemail and no one ever leaves a message. Definitely a scam.2 yearsJust got a call from someone looking for the Director, mentioning him by name. When I asked why he was calling and where he was from, he said his name was James and it was a follow-up. I pressed to find out what it concerned, but he just said it was a long story. Then he asked if the Director would be around later, before saying he'd send an email instead.James2 yearsGot a call from someone called Charlie claiming to be from Ripple, but he wouldn’t explain what the call was about. Kept asking for the MD, like they’d know why they were ringing. Complete nonsense!CharlieRipple2 yearsGot a call from someone called Dominic, said he was with Ripple and was talking about desk phones. Tried asking for the MD by their first name, saying he was following up on a chat and meeting that didn’t happen. Our MD had no clue who he was, and when I told Dominic that, he just said "oh well, I’ll send him an email to jog his memory." Felt a bit off, not sure if it was a scam.DominicRippleMD2 yearsSomeone rang up asking for the MD by name, claiming to be from a firm called 'Ripple.' They sounded quite forceful, saying things like 'If he's around, connect me.' When I asked what the matter was about, they just said it was regarding an earlier chat but refused to explain further. Because of that, I told them they wouldn’t be put through.Ripple2 yearsThey kept pushing, asking specifically for the MD by name, but when I tried to get details, they were really reluctant to share anything. Promised to send me an email later on, but nothing ever showed up in my inbox.MD2 yearsGot a call from a place called “Ripple” asking for our MD. When I told them he wasn’t here, they were quite rude about it.Ripple2 yearsGot a few calls from someone saying his name was Dave James. Tried to chat with the Managing Director, but this bloke was proper rude and dodgy. When I questioned him, he just hung up on me. Definitely felt like a scam or something fishy.Dave James2 yearsGot a call asking for the manager by name. When I asked where the call was coming from, the caller was super rude and tried to dodge the question. Said they were calling from home but you could clearly hear a busy call centre in the background! We’ve blocked the number now.2 yearsCalled asking straight away for the boss by their first name, wouldn't say who they were and came off really rude! Proper dodgy attitude.2 yearsShe said her name was Laura Smith but wouldn’t say which company she was ringing from. She kept asking for the directors by name and mentioned it was a follow-up from a chat before Christmas. She promised to send an email but never did. Plus, she didn’t let me get a word in and just hung up on me. No surprise, no one here has heard of her or had any contact before.Laura SmithSubmit Your Own Report (01256 577978)
