Reports on phone number 01262238950
4 yearsGot a message saying I need to call about some magistrates court thing and national insurance, but I’ve been paying my NI since school days. Pretty scary at first but surely a scam.6 yearsGot a missed call and decided to ring back. A woman’s voice came on, but it was one of those recorded messages saying this number was blocked and someone would get in touch again. She claimed it was from a university or college about accommodation, saying the portage team would contact me. Seemed a bit dodgy to me.7 yearsGot a call from an Asian lady saying she was from BT Openreach, asking about my broadband. I replied, “What do you want?” I’d already checked the number and felt it was fishy, didn’t sound like proper Openreach. Then she just ended the call, never called back. Seems a few others have said this number claimed to be from the TPS! Just a heads up.BT Openreach7 yearsThis number has rang me quite a few times now. I just stop answering it these days. Fingers crossed they take the hint at some point.7 yearsThis number 01262238950 has been ringing me daily for the past 3 days. Another one 01262238528 also called a few times, like 7 calls in total over 3 days. They keep mentioning T P S or something about blocking services and keep pushing for my bank info. I've blocked them both now. Watch out, this is definitely a SCAM!7 yearsHer bank card runs out today! Be careful, lady!Blimey7 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy 8 times today. He said he was from TPS and needed to update my debit card info. Total con.TPS7 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy saying he was from TPS, but he got really irritated when I refused to answer his stuff. I kept firing questions back at him instead.7 yearsGot a call from an Asian lady who kept asking if I pay by direct debit and wanted the card expiry date. She wasn't interested in answering anything I asked and was really rude. Got annoyed when I refused to give her the details.7 yearsGot a call from an Asian bloke named Paul. He kicked off with some questions and I kept saying yes, yes. Then he asked if I signed up with my visa card and wanted me to confirm the expiry date. I gave him a fake one and he said that doesn’t match their records. I told him well that’s what I got, then I ended the call saying something about TPS.PaulAsia7 yearsCheers to everyone who's shared about this number. It's been blowing up my phone for days, and I've been ignoring it. Today I finally picked up and said, "Good afternoon, Call Barring Service, how can I help?" An Asian-accented lady asked if it was a business line, and I replied, "Yes, this is a call blocking service." She then said thanks and promised to remove me from their list! From now on, anyone calling from a dodgy number is getting that spiel when I answer.7 yearsCalled and asked for someone we reckon used this number before and might be on some dodgy list. They hung up saying sorry after we told them that person hasn’t lived here "for years". Had a thick foreign accent. Caller ID said "International" even though 1471 showed this same number.7 yearsPhone number 01262238950 called me, but when I picked up, there was silence so I ended the call straight away. This isn't the first time this has happened with this number.7 yearsGot a quiet-sounding bloke with a strange accent asking me to verify my name, which I did. My wife had the TV blasting, so I told him to hang on a mo while I fetched the cordless to chat somewhere quieter. But when I answered, the call had already dropped. Proper annoying, cos I was gearing up for a bit of a laugh, winding him up good with some colourful language and a few cheeky racist remarks!7 yearsThis is the second time these scammers have phoned me. They seem to be aware my credit card is about to expire, maybe trying to con me before that happens. I reported them once already. Today they called from 01262238950. It was lunchtime when they first rang and I didn’t pick up, thinking it was dodgy. Then they tried again but nobody answered. Don’t be fooled - the Telephone Preference Service doesn't cost a thing! Never share your details with them.Telephone Preference Service7 yearsKeeps ringing all day long, seems to prefer the voicemail, and hangs up as soon as someone picks up.7 yearsI've received two calls yesterday and an additional three today. I usually let calls go to voicemail, but none of the callers bothered to leave a message. After doing some research here, I've decided to block the number and report it as spam.7 yearsThey rang me about four times today and I just ignored it, they’re really irritating.7 yearsJust like what everyone else is saying. As soon as they started talking about credit cards, I ended the call. Then they phoned me back sayin' it was important not to hang up. I told the lady pretty firmly to quit ringing me.7 yearsCalled me and the line cut out right after I picked up, happened twice in a row. My phone showed it was from abroad even though the number matched this one. Sorted now, it's blocked.7 yearsThis number rang me, and when I said my name, the call just went silent, so I figured it was one of those automated calls and ended it straight away.7 yearsI've had my phone ring numerous times this morning, even though I've signed up to stop these pesky calls in the UK. I've taken matters into my own hands and blocked the number directly from my phone, yet it still insists on ringing once before the call is cut off. It's clear they are exceedingly persistent and seem completely oblivious to the fact that we're not at all interested!UK7 yearsGot a call today at 12.38 from some Asian woman rambling on about "updating my call-blocking service" or something like that. Couldn’t make a word she said. Told her I don’t even have a call-blocking service, if I did, it’d block morons like her. If you’re gonna try scamming folks, at least get someone who can actually speak proper English. She even asked for Mr. End or something like that. Complete idiots!End7 yearsThey called my home phone but just dropped the call as soon as my answering machine kicked in.7 yearsGot two calls from this number but I didn’t pick up coz I wasn’t sure who it was. Reading the comments here, I’m glad I didn’t answer and have decided to block it now.7 yearsGot a call from someone called Eric claiming to be from the telephone preference service saying they’d stop annoying calls. He asked for my debit card expiry date but couldn’t explain why he needed it. I asked for a contact number and he gave me 02036300547, which was different from the 1471 number I checked, which was 01262238950!EricTelephone Preference Service7 yearsThis bloke’s called me for the sixth time today, claiming he wants to ‘upgrade’ my annoying call blocker!!!7 yearsGot a call from a woman speaking with an Asian accent claiming to be from TPS. What really worried me was that she knew loads of my info, even the last 4 digits of my card. I told her TPS wouldn’t ask for card details and that she was definitely trying to scam me. She just ended the call after that. DPTPS7 yearsGot a call from a bloke saying he was from TPS and could block all my spam calls. He already had all my info and then started asking about my Visa card, expiry date and then wanted the stuff under my name on the card. That was enough for me, so I said I’m not giving out any financial info. He said no money would be taken but I wasn’t having it and hung up. He called straight back sounding rude. I told him no again and ended the call. Then he called once more and I told him exactly where to shove it.Telephone Preference Service7 yearsI ended the call as soon as the answerphone started.7 yearsGot three missed calls from this number within just a couple of hours. No voicemail or anything, so I figured it was probably a dodgy number. Looked it up here and have blocked it now.7 yearsGot a ring from this number earlier. Immediately knew it was dodgy since they used my maiden name and kept saying they were correct. Bit worrying they had all my info, even my postcode, but I just said no as that’s not my name. Told 'em to shove off and added the number to my call blocking system - now it’s on a massive list of numbers blocked!7 yearsGot a call from someone saying they needed to update my TPS info along with my bank details. They were proper pushy about it. I ended up hanging up, but they rang me straight back again.7 yearsGot a random call from a man with a South Asian accent. He said his name was 'Michael' and claimed he was ringing from 'Telephone Preference Management'. He was pushing some new service that supposedly stops all those annoying telemarketing calls. I asked him, 'you mean telemarketers like yourself?' and you could tell he didn’t like that. So, I just blocked the number. This is a notorious spam call centre from South Asia. Don’t trust what they say or give them any cash. Just block them straight away.MichaelTelephone Preference ManagementSouth Asia7 yearsI've received a staggering 12 calls from this number within just three days! I've made it abundantly clear that I'm not keen on their so-called phone blocking service-it's quite ridiculous, to be honest. Do yourselves a favour and steer clear of them; if you have caller ID, give it a miss and don't answer!7 yearsThis number has rung us twice in just a couple of hours. My missus answered the first call and credit to her, she was polite but gave them a piece of her mind in perfect British fashion before hanging up. I wasn't quite so patient when they called back. We’ve been getting loads of these ‘international’ nuisance calls recently - they ring and when you pick up, nothing but silence before the line cuts off. Looks like this was just the warm-up for their annoying sales pitch. I've reported them to Action Fraud now. Hopefully, if enough folks do the same, something will be done about it.ActionFraud7 yearsThis number has been ringing us incessantly - six times over the past couple of days! I'm starting to feel quite irritated by it all.7 yearsThey've rung me like 8 times in just a couple hours. No matter how many times I ask them to quit, they just say I'm gonna get another call, not from the same person but from someone else in their call centre. Proper annoying!7 yearsGot a call from some Asian bloke named Mark, said he was from TPS. Didn’t seem right so I just hung up. It’s disgusting how these pricks still manage to bother us.MarkTPS7 yearsProper sketchy call, this number’s rung my nan 4 times now. Told her to put it on loud so I could listen in, some cheeky bloke with an Asian accent getting flustered ‘cos my nan couldn’t understand him. He knew her full name, where she lived and asked if her card was due to expire in 2019. By then I grabbed the phone and told him to jog on, said if anyone was gonna call about that it’d be the phone company themselves. Absolutely ridiculous how they go after older folk! NEVER share anything when they start asking about your bank cards.7 yearsThese bloody pests have rung me up 8 times today. Two of the calls were just dead silence before hanging up, and the other six were scammers from Asia pretending they've got English names. I doubt the real telephone preference service would send idiots like these to bother folks at home trying to get you to buy something. Just tell them to jog on, or mute the phone and let them waste their own time with their rubbish talk.Telephone Preference Service7 yearsGot a call from George about some phone blocking service updating and needing to update my info. I had a bad feeling about it right away and got quite annoyed. Told him to call back when my son, who knows a lot about tech, was around. He never bothered to ring again. Proper dodgy stuff.George7 yearsThey have rung my parents six times within a couple of hours today. Every time I pick up, no one’s there. So frustrating!7 yearsJust got a call claiming to be from BT saying they were going ahead with some ‘nuisance caller’ upgrade. They kept pushing me to give them the last 4 digits of my sort code and the first 7 digits of my bank account! They were so insistent, going on for a good 20 minutes, and totally ignored me when I said I wasn’t going to hand over my info to some scammer trying to steal money.BT7 yearsThis number rang me like 7 times all in one afternoon. Every time I answered, there was no one speaking, just that annoying click from an automated caller.7 yearsWhen are the folks in charge gonna sort out this nonsense? I’m getting loads of missed calls from these idiots every single day!7 yearsGot a dodgy call claiming to be TPS asking for my card’s expiry date. Why do these people with English names but obvious Asian accents keep pestering us??!! I’ve blocked the number now, but I’m sure they’ll try phoning from somewhere else. I’ll just do the same and leave them waiting - last time, I left them on the line for a full TEN MINUTES! Ha ha ha :-)TPSUK7 yearsI left a comment about a different number and within a few mins this 01262238950 rang me. It was an Asian lady asking if I was getting annoying calls and then started pushing some phone blocker. The line was really crackly so I couldn’t really understand her and ended up hanging up. Honestly, no idea how they got hold of my name and number.7 yearsGot a call from someone with an Asian accent claiming to be from TPS, but they had the completely wrong name and address for me. When they asked for my details, I just told them to buzz off pretty quickly.TPS7 yearsJust got a call, sounded asian lady with the same message. i told her others told me my number would be blocked days ago in 24 hrs but im still here! Bye!7 yearsGot three calls from this number today. The connection was awful and the person sounded Asian. They kept pushing, talking about nuisance calls and completely ignored when I said ‘Yeah, just like this call’. Definitely feels like a scam, but kinda creepy how much they seem to know about you.7 yearsGot a call from an Asian bloke sayin he was from TPS and could block nuisance calls. Creepy thing was, he already had my name, address and my home phone number. I ended the call straight away. They were quite persistent though, called back again but I just gave it the cold shoulder that time.TPS7 yearsScam alert. Got calls from loads of different numbers in the last hour. They even knew my name and address, which is worrying but not surprising these days. When I asked who they were, some poor bloke with bad English said it was about Home Sure, something to do with renewing kitchen appliance cover. Complete rubbish. Feels like they probably have a list from various places like insurance, PPI claims, home or car insurance, and are fishing for ID theft, credit card info or just trying to gather correct details to pass on to other scammers. Stay safe!7 yearsSome woman called herself "Jessica" with an asian accent. She asked, "Are you getting lots of unwanted calls on your landline?" I said, "Yeah, actually I am." She was trying to sell me a call blocking service or something. The number showed as International, so it's clearly one of those fake spoofed numbers. She somehow knew my name too, which is weird cause I have no idea how.Jessica8 yearsThis bloke said he was from TPS, Laurence or something, with a strong Asian accent. I just told him to f### off and quit with the rubbish.TPSLaurence9 yearsGot a call from this number today offering a free service for our business to take credit card payments. They said we could start using it straight away and any card payments would show in our bank within half a day. They just wanted our bank info to get it all sorted. What a load of rubbish, proper scam if you ask me!9 yearsGot calls from this number at 6.56pm Monday, then again at 6.16pm and 5.59pm the same day. Luckily, I’ve got a BT Callblocker on my phone so it stopped them from ringing through. I get calls from other numbers too but the Callblocker deals with them all. Not really sure if there’s anything that can be done to completely stop these annoying calls though.9 yearsIt’s really annoying now - the government should seriously make a rule to put an end to these SCAM calls! I got called three times today from the same number (01262238950) saying they were TPS and asking for my card info.TPS9 yearsFraud fraud fraud fraud fraud9 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from the TPS about unwanted calls. They had my name, address and other details. Then they asked me for my credit card expiry date. I told the person, who had an Indian accent, that I thought this was a cold call and a total nuisance, then I just ended the call.Telephone Preference Service9 yearsI received several calls from an individual sounding Asian, who was insistent on obtaining my credit card details under the guise of offering a service to block unwanted calls for free. In total, they rang me six times; I chose to ignore the last four attempts.9 yearsI received a call from a company linked to the Telephone Preference Service, and the voice on the other end had a distinctly Indian or Asian accent.Telephone Preference Service9 yearsIs it just me or did the same spammer ring 4 times today? Proper annoying!9 yearsThey knew my name and said they were from the Telephone Preference Service. I told them I didn’t believe it and ended the call. Noticed I’d already missed three calls from that same number today. So, I just blocked it.Telephone Preference Service9 yearsGot a call from 01262238950, some Asian woman claiming to be from my phone company, saying she wanted to block nuisance calls. I was about to end the call, but then she asked for the expiry date on my card. Told her to get lost, but she just carried on. What a muppet. Definitely a scammer.9 yearsNot sure at all, but after seeing what others have said, I’d say it’s sketchy - anyone asking for your bank info is definitely up to no good. They keep ringing non-stop, it’s proper annoying and feels like harassment.9 yearsThis number, 01262 238950, has called me three times today. I picked up on the last one and pretended to go along with it. When he asked for my bank info and other details, I just gave him '999' and he ended the call straight away.9 yearsGot five calls from this number just today. Been getting loads of calls from them in the past few weeks as well. No one ever talks, just keeps disturbing me all the time at work. Why is nothing done about these obvious scam callers?9 yearsThis number rang me about 5 times over the past couple hours. I didn’t pick up because I looked at the reviews on this site beforehand. No voicemail was left either.9 yearsSomebody rang saying they were from the TPS, trying to update my info to stop unwanted calls. They already had my address and postcode and asked if I paid my bill by direct debit. I didn’t reply to that, then they said my debit card expired back in 2017 and asked me to check the new expiry date. I never share any bank details on the phone, so I just ended the call and I’m not picking up unknown numbers anymore.Telephone Preference Service9 yearsGot loads of calls from this number today. I let a bunch go to voicemail but when I picked up, they just hung up! Totally wrecked my afternoon. Wish there was a way to block this for good. Loads of people seem to be getting the same hassle, almost feels like harassment. Since the number’s known, can’t the police or anyone put a stop to this?9 yearsGot two calls from 01262238950 today, 18/9/17. First time the voice was all garbled so I just ended the call. Then about an hour later, another bloke rings saying he's from the UK TPS. He asked if I was getting odd calls, I said yes, especially from you lot! He then quickly hung up. Pretty sure its a scam, so I've blocked the number now.UKTelephone Preference Service9 yearsGot asked if I'd been getting annoying calls like this one?? I said yeah but he didn't catch the irony at all. Then he goes on about how the call blocking service ain't valid anymore from today. Seriously, what a bunch of muppets. Told him to do one and hung up.9 yearsNo idea who this is but they've rung me three times within a couple of hours. Every time I pick up, I just get this automated voice saying 'bye'. I’m curious if a lady answering would get something else coz my missus usually avoids picking up the phone cos of all these annoying calls.9 yearsLooks like they're up to no good trying to trick folks!9 yearsCalled a few times askin for info but they never give clear details, just seem like they wanna trip you up.9 yearsThey said they were from the telephone preference service but then asked for my credit card info. Also, they had my previous address on file which felt a bit dodgy.9 yearsThey keep phoning me over and over again - like four times just today. At first I didn’t pick up, but then I finally did and told the bloke they’re scammers before hanging up. Next thing, he rings back and says “you’re a liar!” Seriously, can’t the authorities track these lot down and stop them or at least charge them for bothering people?9 yearsI keep getting calls from some irritating company that messes with my work. Surely there’s a proper authority that can stop this nonsense. So frustrating!9 yearsTotal scammers, watch out!9 yearsGot three calls today but wasn’t home to answer. The telephone preference service doesn’t cost anything, so never share your card info.Telephone Preference Service9 yearsSomeone rang saying they was from TPS, wanted to know if we do direct debit for our phone bill. I just ended the call straight away! Number's blocked now.TPS9 yearsGot a really scratchy call from what sounded like a call centre, likely some dodgy overseas place using a fake number. They somehow already had my name and said they were with some 'Telephone Preference Management Company' - not TPS though - trying to pitch me a “better” way to block spam calls. I told them their call was exactly the sort of unwanted call I’m trying to avoid, told them to buzz off, and hung up. Have now blocked the number using BT Call Protect.Telephone Preference Management CompanyTPS9 yearsSomeone said they were from TPS, but I said they weren’t. I was just about to get shouted at, so I decided to just end the call.TPS9 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were with the telephone preference agency and that I needed to update my info. They mentioned my debit card was expired or something but said it was all free. I was suspicious when they started asking for my direct debit bank and card details. Definitely felt like a scam, very dodgy. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now.9 yearsThere was loads of noise in the background but not a single person said a word.9 yearsSome bloke called saying he was from the TPS, asking if I was still getting loads of spam calls. I told him his call was unsolicited too. He said it wasn’t, so I asked when I’d actually agreed to take that call, and why TPS would be ringing me anyway. He got all pushy and annoyed, then just went quiet and hung up.TPSSubmit Your Own Report (01262 238950)
