01278784817 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01278784817 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance caller associated with silent calls, hang-ups, and frequent unanswered auto-dialling. Callers often claim to conduct surveys, asking for personal information such as property status, insurance, or phone details, sometimes using non-native accents. Many recipients experience multiple calls daily, often several times an hour, with some reporting aggressive or evasive behaviour when questioned. The number typically leaves no messages and may change frequently to bypass blocking.

It is advised to block the number and report repeated harassment to relevant authorities like Ofcom. Exercise caution and avoid sharing personal information if contacted.

Got a robo-call that was supposed to be from my bank's security team - totally a scam, no doubt about it.

These people keep calling me non-stop, I just end up hanging up and blocking the number, yet they still manage to ring me multiple times every day.

Got a call from Doris - sounded Asian. I told her I’m sick of these calls and to remove me from their list. She said nobody else from that company had called me. Well, they definitely have! No way I’m giving her any personal info. Told her to buzz off.

They ring me a few times every day. I stopped picking up but after a few days they call again from a different number. It’s always the same thing. I just ignore it now but it’s really annoying how persistent they are. They never bother to leave a voicemail either.
8 years
They called me like 8 times in one day before I picked up. Some Asian lady named Susan, yeah sure! Said it was for some survey, so I asked her what survey and who it was for. She just kept dodging the question and kept saying she needed my info. I ended up telling her to "get lost and quit bothering folks" or I'd rock up to their call centre in Bayswater and cause a scene. Haven't had a call from 'em after that!

Wasn't flagged by BT Call Guardian, so I’m guessing it was either a scammer or some call centre. I've gone ahead and blocked the number.

They've rung me about 8 times just today, starting at 8.30am and then every half hour or so after 11.30am. Honestly, its high time the government and phone providers actually stepped up and sorted these idiots out.

Got called five times in just two hours. Didn’t answer the first four, and they didn’t even leave a voicemail. Finally picked up on the fifth ring only to hear the line cut off. At least I made 'em pay for that last call!

I've been getting loads of silent calls from 01278 784817 recently. I'm on the TPS list, so I reckon it's either dodgy market research or some kind of scam, not a legit business cold call. Since about 8 this morning, I've had at least 7 or 8 of these calls with no-one speaking. I even tried ringing the number back to ask them to stop (I know, probably a daft move), but it just went to an unavailable tone. Doesn't matter if I let it go to voicemail or pick up and stay silent to mess with them, they just keep ringing.

I didn’t get the caller’s name properly but I could tell he was Asian. He asked if I knew the person he was trying to reach and when I said no, he kept pestering me with more questions. I told him I had to go since I’ve got three kids at school but he wouldn’t take no for an answer, so I ended up just hanging up. Please fix this, otherwise I’m going to have to look into legal options as this number keeps ringing my landline non stop. It feels like harassment, the company should be shut down #Region

Got calls from this number five times just today within an hour, and there were four calls yesterday as well. Eventually answered today, and it was a lady with an Asian accent asking if I was the owner of the number xxxx xxxxxx. I told her I’d looked up the number and knew she was ringing from Bridgwater, and honestly, all those calls in such a short time felt like harassment. I warned her if she called again, I’d have no choice but to report it to Ofcom. She said she would take my number off their list.

Looks like they use one of them autodialers. I usually check if I can hear any noise or someone speaking before picking up. If it’s just silence, I let the machine cut off on its own, so I have no clue what that scam call was about this morning. If your wondering about a call from this number, try coughing or saying hi. If they’re free, they might actually reply.

I picked up the phone on my landline and a chap with a rather poor grasp of English was on the other end, claiming he was looking for the homeowner. I offered to take down a message, but he got a bit irate, insisting that nobody ever seems to be at my place. Then, he mumbled something odd about Syria. It left me feeling rather unsettled, so I ended the call.
