Got a call from 0128585493 offering caller ID, apparently it's free from BT. Not sure if it's legit though.

Kept ringing over and over, and whenever I didn’t answer or say anything, they’d just cut the call. After seeing what others said here, I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number.

Got loads of calls from this number today but each time they hung up before saying anything. Might be the same one that phoned last week about signing up again with the TPS, but I just cut it off straight away cos I knew it was a scam.

I got a call from 01285852493 claiming they’re a company that blocks nuisance calls. They said starting from 22 Feb 19, they’d stop all unwanted calls for me. Then they asked for my bank account and card details, which I refused to give. When I asked to speak to their manager, they wouldn’t transfer me, so I just ended the call.

I received a dodgy call from someone claiming to be with the nuisance call blockers, complete with a thick accent. They were after my credit card information. Whatever you do, don’t share any personal details - just hang up the phone!

This number has been ringing me non-stop, like 5 times today and evening. I finally just blocked it. Honestly, I'm fed up with all these annoying calls. Can't someone do something to make them stop already?

My mum got a call from 01285852493 earlier today. Some bloke with a foreign accent said he was with the BT number blocking team. He wanted her sort code to 'verify' her, but when she wouldn’t give it, he told her to calm down and put her on hold. Then another guy came on, trying to make it sound like it was a genuine call, not some scam. He said something about if she didn’t cooperate, she'd get more spam calls. Mum wasn’t having any of it and just hung up.

Got a call from 01285852493 claiming to be from some nuisance call blocking company. They asked me for my credit card info which seemed dodgy so I just hung up. They rang back but I wasn’t picking up. Pretty sure I’ve never signed up or paid for anything like that anyway.

Had a bloke with a foreign accent ring me up, saying my telephone preference service subscription had run out (which isn’t true). When I asked questions, he switched to saying he was from some international phone management and that I’d already signed up for their free service (which I'd never done). Then he tried to get me to “re-subscribe” and asked for my credit card info to “verify” it was me. Told him to cancel everything and remove my info, and he got really nasty, threatening that I’d get flooded with calls if I didn’t sign up again. I just told him where to shove it.
