8 yearsNo message was left, so I just blocked the number.8 yearsSomebody called saying they’re trying to help stop scam calls, but as soon as I said it seemed dodgy, they just ended the call.8 yearsMy elderly mum got a call from this number a while back. I overheard her talking and, worried, I ended up having to freeze her bank account because she gave out her info! Today, I picked up myself and they just dropped the call. Definitely a scam - the caller ID showed something like International rather than a local Oxford St number. Might as well be the official TPS for dodgy calls!InternationalOxford StreetTPS8 yearsI really don’t get why the government just sits back while these awful scammers keep on at it. They’re aware it’s happening, yet all they do is tell us to be careful, without actually doing anything about it. It’s like the useless lot there have no real power - if they can’t sort this mess, why even have them on the payroll? I’ve tried reaching out to them and honestly, they’re absolutely hopeless.8 yearsThis number has called me silently three times now. Each time I picked up quickly but no one said anything.8 yearsJust had a call a little while ago from someone saying they were from TPS. When I gave an old credit card expiry, they put me through to some admin supervisor for "security checks." Told the bloke exactly what I thought of him and the whole setup before the call was cut off. Funny enough, while I was writing this, another call came through asking for my current credit card details. They’re pretty bold, these lot. My guess is they dug up my info and billing from when I was with TalkTalk.TPSTalkTalk8 yearsConstantly getting calls that are clearly scams, feels like harassment at this point.8 yearsGot two calls from this number today, first time they just said "i love you" before hanging up, which was kinda odd. Then they rang again and stayed completely silent. Strange behaviour!8 yearsIt took ages for them to answer and as usual, it was a scam call. Just ended the call straight away.8 yearsAbout ten minutes back, I got a call from a bloke with an Asian accent claiming he was calling from the Telephone Preference Service on Oxford Street, London. It felt more like they were calling from overseas, judging by the long delay. He said he was there to assist because he knew I'd been getting loads of scam and nuisance calls. I asked him where he got my number from, but he couldn’t answer. When I asked which phone company I used, he said he had no idea. I told him straight up he was a scammer and ended the call. Can’t wait to see what excuse they come up with next time.Telephone Preference ServiceOxford StreetLondon8 yearsJust got a call from a woman claiming to be with some kind of call blocking service. What freaked me out was that she actually knew my full name, my address, and even who stays at the house. Proper dodgy if you ask me!8 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Call Prevent. They said they knew I'd been getting lots of unwanted calls, and even though I told them I thought this was just another one, they carried on with their rehearsed spiel. They mentioned teaming up with the Telephone Preference Service as part of some government scheme. The moment I asked for their phone number though, they just cut me off. Not shocking at all, but honestly, it's pretty low for them to say they're working with the TPS to stop nuisance calls when they're probably just another scam.Call PreventTelephone Preference ServiceTPS8 yearsTotally a scam, watch out!Fraud8 yearsTotal scam! Couldn't believe it was real.8 yearsI got hanged up on the moment I picked up.8 yearsThis number just won’t stop ringing, really annoying. Had to block it a bunch of times already!8 yearsGot a call today from someone saying they were with Oxford Street’s call blocking service. Their English was really poor, and when I asked about the telephone preferences service, he seemed to struggle to answer. Before I could figure out what the scam was, they just ended the call.Oxford Street8 yearsThe person spoke with a foreign accent and quickly got quite aggressive. When I told him the name he mentioned wasn't associated with this number, he started calling me the C word. It was really unpleasant.8 yearsThis call seemed pretty suspicious, the bloke was struggling with English and even got my address all mixed up.Submit Your Own Report (01278 496987)
