Reports on phone number 01273762431
6 yearsSome bloke rang me saying he was from Openreach, saying he needed to get onto my computer to test my internet speed. I asked for his direct phone number to confirm, but he got all annoyed and instead gave me my own number as if it was his. I just laughed and the call suddenly got cut off.Openreach6 yearsit stopped ringing before I could answer it in time so missed the call7 yearsI got a call about some dodgy insurance stuff, looked like a scam to me. I told them straight to stop ringing or I’d have to report them. Haven’t heard back since.7 yearsThey keep calling me like two or three times a day every day, but I never pick up. Not once have they left a voicemail or anything. Honestly, it’s getting super frustrating!7 yearsI've received a call regarding the renewal of my fridge freezer warranty, which was a bit odd. They were completely off the mark, suggesting my problem might be with my boiler or a Hotpoint appliance. The irony is, I don’t even own a Hotpoint! They were after two hundred quid and refused to send any proper documentation about the plan. Quite persistent as well, might I add. When they called me back as promised, I made it clear that I wasn’t interested. It’s perplexing how they managed to obtain my information in the first place. I’ll be reaching out to my supplier to find out more. The caller had an Asian accent, if that helps.7 yearsBeen getting calls from this number about three times today, which is ridiculous considering it’s a bank holiday Monday. Every time i pick up, no one’s there. It’s so frustrating, especially since I’m stuck in bed with a sore back!7 yearsI've been plagued by calls from this bloke about my boiler. As someone with a disability, I only interact with British Gas, yet this persistent caller just won't take the hint. It feels a bit like harassment, honestly. He has a distinct London accent and comes across as being from a different ethnic background. Honestly, I'm fed up with these incessant scam calls! I really wish the Telephone Preference Service would step in and sort this mess out.British GasLondonTelephone Preference Service7 yearsGot two calls on the bank holiday Monday but wasn’t quick enough to answer coz of my mobility problems, and they hung up before I could pick up. The number showed up on 1471 but it didn’t ring any bells, so I didn’t bother returning the call - I never do if I don’t know the number. Judging by all the posts here, I’m guessing this is just another scam. When will the phone companies actually do something to stop these annoying calls? They may not get me, but I’m sure loads of vulnerable folks fall for it. It’s just shocking!7 yearsI received a phone call from a chap who said he was from British Gas, wanting to chat about boilers. I informed him that I hadn’t requested his call, and mentioned I’d be reporting him to the Telephone Preference Service. He seemed to find that quite funny, so I decided it was best to hang up.British GasTelephone Preference Service7 yearsGot three calls from this number today, and that was even on a bank holiday Monday. Took me a while to pick up because I was just out in the garden and couldn’t get to my phone inside quick enough, so no one answered earlier.7 yearsGot a call around half past five on a bank holiday from someone saying my boiler cover with Homecare needed renewing. Absolutely not true, and I don’t even have a policy with them. Told them to jog on and ended the call.Homecare7 yearsGot a call about my boiler insurance supposedly being expired. Told them it wasn’t true and just hung up straight away.Home Care7 yearsOn Saturday, the 24th of August 2019, we received a call in Bristol concerning the replacement of our boiler, which the callers insisted was necessary. We opted not to proceed with any arrangements until we had the chance to thoroughly review the documentation they claimed would be sent over. Frankly, we don't see the need to swap out our boiler, even with their tempting offer of £99. Who exactly are these individuals? They certainly didn't strike us as trustworthy or particularly persuasive in their approach.Bristol7 yearsI've been getting calls from this number like 3 or 4 times a week. They're trying to sell me insurance for a washing machine I've never even owned. It’s proper annoying. I asked the lady on the phone how she’d react if someone rang her mum trying to con her out of cash, and then she just dropped the call.7 yearsI've got calls from some homecare company about my boiler cover finishing - problem is, I never signed up for any cover at all. They've called me about three times in just the past two weeks!7 yearsGot a call earlier from an unknown number and just ignored it, then added it straight to my block list. They really should be locked up with all the hassle they bring.7 yearsGot a call on my home phone at about 6 in the evening today. I think I had already added the number to my phone's block list, and now it’s blocked on Call Protect as well. Looks like it’s some dodgy lot who’ve tried pulling a fast one before, but they won’t be getting through from this number ever again.7 yearsEvery time I pick up, the line goes dead.7 yearsI got a call from 01273762431 claiming to be a home care service about my boiler cover needing renewal. Definitely a scam. Don't trust it!7 yearsGot a call from this number today about my boiler homecare needing renewal. They’ve rang me a few times before. I told them I already renewed with British Gas back in February. I also asked how they got my landline number since I’m ex-directory and signed up for TPS with BT. Then they just cut me off straight away.British GasTelephone Preference ServiceBT7 yearsToday I got six calls from this same number, but I never actually answered. I just let it ring out so it would go to voicemail. After that first ring, they never stayed on the line long enough to leave a message. I’ve ended up blocking the number now.7 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with Homecare, asking if we wanted to renew our boiler cover for another three years. It came across as a blatant rip-off. He wanted to know what kind of boiler we had, which I told him he should already know from his records. He kept going on and on, and just when I thought he might try to get my card details, I ended the call. It sounded pretty official, but I’m sure it was a total con.Homecare7 yearsReceived a call, but the line went completely silent the moment I picked up.7 yearsGot a call about Sky gear but my folks don’t even have it, so I just ended the call straight away.7 yearsThis number keeps calling my landline at the same times, usually just after 9 in the morning and sometime between 1 and 2 in the afternoon. I never pick up, just let it ring through to the answerphone. They never bother leaving a message either. It’s really starting to annoy me now.7 yearsI received a call from some dodgy bloke claiming to be from a boiler insurance company, saying it was time to sort out the renewal. Sounds like a right scam to me!7 yearsJust let it ring, it’s definitely a scam call.7 yearsReceived a call about insuring my washing machine. Turned out to be a scam. You pay up front and then get zilch in return. Really disappointing :-(7 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from TalkTalk, warning that my internet and home phone would be cut off today if I didn’t press 1 to sort it out. I just hung up right away without saying anything - felt like a scam to me.TalkTalk7 yearsGot a call and even before I said hello, they were asking for me by name and rattled off my full address. Then they started asking questions about my boiler. I told them they must have the wrong person and that the place they mentioned is a council house, which it’s not. They just hung up after that. Fingers crossed they don’t bother me again.7 yearsI've had enough of number calls from this bloke, I just let them go straight to voicemail now. When I pick up, there's never any message left, just that annoying click.7 yearsWhat an absolute bother! This number keeps ringing me, and with my husband unwell, I could really do without the distraction.7 yearsThat number, 01273762431, has been ringing non-stop for weeks now and it's really getting on my nerves. They never leave a voicemail, even though we always have the answerphone switched on. Honestly, someone should do something about these companies; it's just plain harassment at this point.7 yearsGot a call from Declan saying my boiler insurance ended back in July. That wasn’t right, so I told him straight up. Then he just cut me off!Declan7 yearsI've heard that the warranty for our boiler has expired.7 yearsHad the exact same thing happen to me. Just silence, then the line goes dead, and the call cuts off. Weird.7 yearsRight when I answered, I heard a voice say something like "you're the only one in this conference call" with a clear American accent. Then nothing. I called out a few times with no response, so I just ended the call. Later on, I looked at my call history and noticed this number had rung me multiple times before.7 yearsI've been getting two calls a day from this number. Whenever I pick up, they just hang up on me. It's about time the Telephone Preference Service took action against these nuisance calls!Telephone Preference Service7 yearsI keep getting calls from this number, and every time I answer, there's no one on the line. Even letting it go to voicemail doesn’t seem to put them off. It’s really starting to get on my nerves.7 yearsThey called me several times today, but every time I answered, the line just went silent.7 yearsAbsolutely awful, so rude and just ridiculous. Can’t imagine having no respect like that, must be a nightmare to be around. Feel really sorry for whoever’s stuck with him!7 years01273762431 rang me up saying my boiler cover needs renewing. When I asked to be taken off their call list, the bloke just ended the call on me.7 yearsI've blocked the number and haven't picked up, yet they keep ringing me. It’s absolutely ridiculous and feels like harassment. Total disgrace.7 yearsI use a call blocker app and when I checked the blocked calls from today there were loads. I decided to unblock to find out who’s been ringing me. A call came through but I couldn’t pick it up quick enough. The number showed up but they left no voicemail or anything.7 yearsSo, I looked up this number through the TPS and apparently it belongs to a firm named Home Protect 365 - seems like they deal with insurance or maybe home security. I’m not sure if it’s actually them calling or if someone else is using their number. I’ve reported them a few times to TPS already and they’ve told the company about the complaints, asking them to stop. Now, I’m just waiting to see if they actually do.Telephone Preference ServiceHome Protect 365TPSTime7 yearsThis number keeps ringing me all the time even tho I’m signed up with the TPS. My mobile lets me block annoying callers but unfortunately my landline doesn’t have that option. It’s really annoying having to get up and pick up the phone just for no one to be there. Feels like harassment more than anything.Telephone Preference Service7 yearsGot another call today, honestly can’t keep count anymore. I’ve reported it like always and reckon the cops need to step in since it’s starting to feel like proper harassment.7 yearsThis number 01273762431 keeps ringing me up about three times daily. Whenever I pick up, there's just silence and then it cuts off. It's really getting on my nerves.7 yearsI’ve been bombarded with countless calls from this number, and it’s becoming quite overwhelming. I've taken the step of reporting them, alongside several others from the Brighton region, to the Telephone Preference Service. At this point, I reckon it might be necessary to bring the police into the mix, as this whole situation has turned into a bit of a nightmare.BrightonTelephone Preference Service7 yearsThe line went silent as soon as I answered, which is rather unsettling, especially for a woman alone. This occurred at 2:21 PM on the 5th of August.7 yearsAt first, there was nothing but silence, then I started hearing background noise like a call centre. I ended the call straight away.7 yearsGot another ring from them again. Like always, I’m going to report it to the TPS. These calls are really starting to feel like harassment. Also, I don’t see the point of dragging politics into this mess like someone did before. The real issue is with the awful folks behind these calls, plain and simple.Telephone Preference Service7 yearsLike others have said, this number rang me up about a boiler deal - a 3 year plan for just £180 covering yearly servicing and parts. They wrongly said my boiler was a Bosch Worcester and ran on gas, but it’s actually a Thorn oil boiler. They refused to send me any contract until after I’d already paid via credit card. I reckon these con artists are operating out of that infamous Indian city called Brighton.Bosch WorcesterBrighton7 yearsI got a call from 01273 762431 but they just hung up as soon as I picked up, so I didn’t bother calling back. I usually use that number to file reports quite often. Lately though, it seems like the posts have become a bit personal and political. Also, some people are saying it’s linked to a boiler scam, and it’s odd because now there are adverts for boilers popping up on the site too!7 yearsGot a ring from Brighton again, with the numbers 714083 and 762440 popping up too.Brighton7 yearsThe number 01273762431 has been calling repeatedly over the past couple of days. It often stops after a few rings, and when my answerphone picks up, there's never a message left behind. If I manage to answer myself, there's nobody on the line. It appears to be linked to Brighton, which is a bit frustrating since we know people there. I just wish phone systems were as well regulated as our digital world seems to be nowadays. I wouldn’t say it’s harmful yet since I haven’t had an actual conversation with anyone.Brighton7 yearsI keep getting calls from 01273762431 and I’m pretty sure it’s a scam. They ring all the time, and the phone companies just laugh it off. Apparently, you can pay to block them, but I’m not sure how much that costs. It’s ridiculous!7 yearsNumber: 01273 762431 Thank heavens for sites where you can look these up! OFCOM, those so-called watchdogs, seem to do bugger all while scammers keep ripping people off. Hopefully, once that lot from the Tories are gone, we’ll have proper people in place to protect our older and more vulnerable folks from getting scammed.OFCOM7 yearsNumber 01273 752431 popped up on my phone, and I’m so glad there’s a way to look these things up online now. Those supposed regulators at OFCOM are just lazy clumps who don’t do a thing to protect us. Hopefully, once the Tories are gone, we’ll get proper folks working to stop these scams targeting our older and vulnerable folks.OFCOM7 yearsSomeone rang me up saying my boiler service agreement was up for renewal, even though I’ve never had one with them. I asked for my money back as I hadn’t signed anything, and weirdly, they immediately wanted my bank info to process a refund! I kept pushing for a refund by cheque through the post instead, but they just ended the call. Quite dodgy if you ask me.7 yearsKept calling over and over again but never bothered to leave a voicemail or anything.7 yearsNumber: 01273 762431. Honestly, I'm so glad there's a way to look up these calls now. OFCOM? More like Office of Empty Chairs - they do bugger all to stop these scammers. If we ever get rid of the Tories, maybe then we’ll have proper folks working to protect our old and vulnerable from getting scammed.OFCOM7 yearsNumber I meant to share was 01273 764321 - sorry about the mix-up, didn’t notice until after I posted it a couple mins ago. Glad we’ve got websites to look these things up these days. OFCOM, the so-called watchdogs who should be cracking down on scammers, just sit around twiddling their thumbs. Hopefully once the Tories are gone, we can actually pay decent staff to protect older folks and those more vulnerable from getting scammed.OFCOMTories7 yearsJust got a call tonight from this number, they said it was about my boiler. I told them everything was fine with it and they just ended the call straight away. The weird part was he already knew my name when I picked up. Really suspicious stuff.7 yearsGot a call from 01273762431 saying it was about "Sky Protect". I told them I don’t talk about that stuff on the phone and then ended the call.Sky Protect7 yearsThey never left a message but it’s so frustrating seeing these numbers pop up in my missed calls. Landlines are getting spammed by these kinds of calls and honestly, there should be something done about it.7 yearsThis bloke claimed he was from the company that made my boiler and told me the warranty had expired.7 yearsI keep getting these annoying promo calls and as far as I know, they’re breaking the latest GDPR rules. I looked up the number and it’s linked to something called Home Protect 365. You should definitely report them to the ICO so they can look into it and maybe slap them with a big fine if they’re doing wrong. Just google “how to report nuisance calls to ICO” and it’ll show you where to put in your complaint.HomeICO7 yearsI got three calls from this number today, all of them calling me by my name. Each time they said my boiler service was due for renewal. Funny thing is, it is due, but definitely not with them. Makes me wonder if they've somehow accessed the British Gas customer list? When I asked where they had my info, they suddenly hung up. I can’t help thinking these people work for a firm that’s blatantly ignoring GDPR rules. It would be great if someone could track them down and report them properly.British Gas7 yearsI got a call about renewing boiler insurance, but since I don’t have central heating at all, I told him to buzz off. He claimed he’d make a note of it in his system, though I seriously doubt he’ll follow through!7 yearsGot a call asking if I wanted sky cover.7 yearsThey called me up on a Saturday of all days! Don’t these lot ever take a break? When I answered, there was nothing but silence (typical!). I reckon they phoned yesterday as well, same thing happened - about ten seconds of quiet then they just hung up. Reading the other comments, it seems like these are just scammers attempting to swindle me.7 yearsAs soon as I picked up, the call just dropped on me.7 yearsThey rang me a few times claiming to be from Sky. But when I dialled them back, the number said it was some Home Protect 365 instead. Very fishy!Sky7 yearsGot two calls from 01273762431 today but the caller hung up as soon as my answer machine started. Blocked the number now.7 yearsThere was no message left.7 yearsOn the 24th of July 2019 at half past one, a man rang asking for me by name. He said he was Harry from Homecare, talking about some boiler coverage from British Gas. He even knew where we live. I just said, "No thanks" and he immediately ended the call. Seriously, how do they manage to get hold of our names and addresses?!HarryBritish Gas7 yearsI hardly ever pick up my landline now, I just see the missed calls and then look them up on this site. Honestly, it’s just loads of idiots sitting behind phones trying to push rubbish on people who don’t want it. Honestly, just stop with the constant ringing, it’s so annoying! 😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬7 yearsMy washing machine warranty's nearly up, but I can't remember the brand. So strange that the guy just dropped the call - probably some dodgy scam, those cheaters!7 yearsGot a call from this number, didn’t pick up but was curious so called back. Some automated voice said something about 'Home Protect' trying to reach me. I think they might be using loads of different business names or something. Definitely blocked now.Home7 yearsGot a call from this Brighton number trying to pitch me some boiler cover. I asked where they got my number, and suddenly they just hung up. This isn’t the first time they’ve called either. Proper pain in the neck.7 yearsGot a call around 7 in the evening from a bloke claiming to be ringing about my boiler and some sort of insurance cover. He spoke really clear English, no noticeable accent - maybe a bit too perfect? Said his surname was Birch, though I never caught his first name. I just ended the call without giving any details.Birch7 yearsGot a call saying my washing machine cover was up and that Rhea could renew it for less. When I questioned if they were from Domestic and General, since that’s who I've got with already, they claimed they work together. Then, they passed me on to some verification team who actually asked for my bank details!RheaDomestic and General7 yearsThey keep ringing but never leave a message on my voicemail. Really starting to annoy me now!!7 yearsA bloke rang asking for me by name, so I asked who was on the line. He let out a massive sigh and then just hung up.7 yearsGot a call from some unknown number but luckily my call blocker sorted it out.7 yearsSo I rang my mum when she was out, said it was regarding her electricity supply. Managed to convince her to set up a meeting. I’ll be back by then, so he can have a word with me instead!7 yearsA person calling about energy stuff phoned me, so I mentioned I was on the TPS and they just hung up straight away.TPS7 yearsNot sure, but this seems like one of those annoying calls you just want to ignore.7 yearsGot a call from a bloke with a really thick accent, trying to pitch some boiler service cover. Definitely felt like a dodgy scam to me.7 yearsSomeone pretending to be from Sky Protect about your Sky gear, best not to pick up.Sky7 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Sky Protect, but the voice was so thick with an accent I couldn't make it out. Just ended up hanging up.Submit Your Own Report (01273 762431)
