01268517256 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01268517256 πŸ‘† is reported as a persistent scam call targeting mainly elderly and vulnerable people, often with callers claiming to be from utility companies, council tax assistance, or phone blocking services. Callers frequently use different numbers sequentially when blocked, and sometimes provide partial, false bank or card details to appear credible. Many have experienced aggressive or confusing behaviour when challenged, and no legitimate paperwork ever follows. Some report Asian female callers demanding specific family members or using personal details unprompted. Calls come at odd hours, and no voicemail is usually left. The consensus is these are fraudulent, causing distress and suspicious of trying to extract money or sensitive info. Users warn it’s best to report and block immediately to avoid harm.

They kept ringing and asking for my mum but she weren’t about. Every time I blocked one number, another one would ring straight after from a new line. I told them to put everything in writing so I could show my lawyer but oddly, I never got no letters or emails. Definitely feels like a dodgy scam to me!

I didn’t pick up and there wasn’t any voicemail, so I’m guessing it’s some kind of scam!

Somebody called claiming they were from sky talk shield. When I asked them to say their name, they just ended the call. Pretty sure it was a scam.

I received a call from an Asian lady who mentioned that I had submitted an application for some sort of council tax support programme. To be honest, her ramblings made little sense, so I decided to hang up.

My mum, who is quite old, got a call from this number claiming to be from her electric company and saying she could get a refund. They kept pushing her, which really upset her. I don't understand how anyone can be okay with bugging old and vulnerable folks like that. It's just wrong.

I got a call from someone who knew my name straight away. An asian woman claimed I’d reached out about council tax about half a year ago and said I was supposed to be in a lower tax bracket. Then she started asking for money to help me get a refund, even wanted my bank info. I told her to jog on and ended the call.

Got a call from an unknown number at 8:30pm, so I picked up. Just looked it up here and have blocked it now.

Picked up the phone but kept quiet, just hearing silence on the other end. No one said a word before hanging up. Feels like one of those scam calls to me.

I didn't recognise the number so I just let it ring out.

Got a call from someone wanting to speak to my grandad, who’s got dementia. They wouldn’t explain why they were ringing. When I didn’t answer their questions, they just ended the call.

Got a call from an Indian woman asking to talk to my wife. When I asked who she was and what it was about, there was a brief silent pause, then she kept pushing to speak to my wife, even saying her full name. When I questioned her again, she just went quiet and ended the call. Feels like it was probably some kind of scam.

I let it ring out and no voicemail popped up, so pretty sure it was just some dodgy scam call.
