01258269833 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01258269833 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation targeting UK landlines with calls from individuals claiming to be from the Telephone Preference Service or Openreach, often with Indian or South Asian accents. These callers typically allege issues with phone services and seek personal or financial details, including credit card and visa expiry dates, using fake credentials and false contact information. Despite being registered on the genuine TPS and having ex-directory numbers, victims still receive multiple silent or hang-up calls. The callers display aggressive or evasive behaviour when challenged and frequently disconnect when questioned. Users are advised to block the number immediately, refrain from sharing any personal data, and report such calls to Action Fraud and Ofcom to minimise risk and nuisance.

I got a call from a woman who sounded Indian and said she was with Openreach. She mentioned there was an issue with my router speed but refused to give me any contact number to call her back.

Got a call from a lady who sounded Indian, claiming she was from Openreach saying there were issues with my internet speed. She didn’t want to share any number for me to ring back though.

I returned home following a little getaway only to discover I'd racked up six missed calls from this particular number.

I've had calls from 01258269833 a few times this past week, and every time I pick up it's just dead silent. It sounds like some kind of auto-dialling system messing about. I'm ex-directory, so I figured I wouldn't get these pesky calls, but I guess that doesn't stop these robotic random diallers at all.

Had about five calls in just six hours yesterday. I picked up three times. Like others have mentioned, they say they’re from some firm that stops annoying calls. I normally try and stay calm before hanging up, but I don’t think I was as nice on the last ring. Luckily, they never got to asking for my card info. Every time I told them I’m on the TPS, so they really shouldn’t be bothering me. How come these call centres in India can make the number look like it’s local? I’m planning to report this to Ofcom for sure.

Got called like 4 times in just a couple hours, but no one picks up or even bothers to leave a message. We’re signed up with TPS, but it really doesn’t seem to make a difference. At least Caller ID shows who’s calling, so that’s a small win.

Got calls from this number thrice today, but every time they just cut off once I picked up. Blocked it now.

I’ve been getting these scam calls from someone pretending to be with the Telephone Preference Service, saying they’re from a ‘call blocking department’ and wanting my bank details to ‘improve’ my subscription. I told them straight, TPS is supposed to be free, so why would they need payment info? As soon as I questioned them, they just ended the call. Now, they keep pestering my landline with loads of calls, like 5 times in just 4 hours, mostly hanging up if it goes to answerphone or if we pick up. It’s proper annoying!

Got a call today 30/12/18 at 13:08 from a lady with an Indian accent claiming she was calling on behalf of TPS. She said they needed to do an upgrade on my service and asked for my direct debit details for the phone bill. I was suspicious and asked why TPS would even require that info and she just ended the call straight away. Sounds dodgy to me!

Got a call from some dodgy overseas number saying they're from TPS, trying to push an upgrade for my call blocking. They wanted my bank details, obviously scam. I kept replying with just “yes” to everything, messing about for a bit, but then lost interest and cut them off, blocked the number too. Weirdly, they had a name and address but it wasn’t mine - I reckon it’s outdated info from some rubbish phone firm that’s offshored their customer service to India or somewhere.

Got a few calls from this number prefix lately. I just hang up and block them now. Feels good knowing I dodged a bullet by doing that. It’s getting annoying trying to figure out if these calls are worth picking up at all.

Got calls like 7 times in less than a day. I picked up once but hung up straight away when I heard someone talking with an Indian accent.

I've had three calls from this number today, but every time I try to find out who's on the other end, they just hang up.

Like many folks here, I got a call from a woman with an Indian accent, followed by a bloke calling himself "Jim" asking for my debit card info. When I refused, saying there was no need for that, he got really annoyed and started shouting. I just told him he was a dodgy scammer and ended the call. What a joke!

Got a call from an Asian lady claiming she was from TPS, asking if I’d been getting any more nuisance calls and even asked for me by name. I was almost gonna say ‘yeah, from you lot!’, but I just thanked her and ended the call. Definitely blocked the number after that.

I've received a message regarding my account and they're inquiring about the expiry date on my credit card. It's odd how they seem to have my address and personal details. Quite concerning, to be honest!

Got a call from a woman with a strong accent, claiming she was from the telephone preference service and that they were updating their records. She already had my name and address, but then started trying to get my credit card info. I ended the call straight away.

Got a call from this guy with an Indian or Pakistani accent claiming to be from some number blocking service. He said they'd ‘upgraded’ my phone and then tried to get me to give out my credit card info. I told him I didn’t have any cards, and then he just cut me off. I’ve blocked the number since then.
