01285895721 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01285895721 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance and scam number linked primarily to bogus calls about driveway services or home warranties. Callers often claim to be from companies like "The Driveway Centre" or heating and plumbing cover providers, frequently hanging up when questioned or leaving no messages. Many recipients have noted repeated calls within short periods without any meaningful information or clear identification. The calls are widely suspected to be attempts at gathering personal data or conducting phishing scams. Blocking is common but often ineffective due to use of multiple spoofed or computer-generated numbers. Users are advised not to answer, to report such calls to the police fraud database, and to raise the issue with their MP to encourage legislative action against these fraudulent practices.

Got a voicemail that was totally confusing, didn't make much sense at all. I’m quite certain this number’s popped up on my phone before.

Not sure who called, there was no voicemail or anything - sounds like one of those annoying scam calls.

Trust me, just block this number straight away and don’t even bother answering. It’s better to blacklist it so you don’t get any more calls.

That was totally a scammer, no doubt about it.

This number has rung me twice now. I didn't answer and there was no voicemail left. Seems like it could be a scam?

I got a call from someone claiming to be a driveway company, but I think it was a scam. When I told them it’s a communal building, they just hung up on me.

Received three calls within a span of two hours, and they didn't bother to leave a message (I tend to screen my calls). I have a feeling it might be a scam.

Been getting a bunch of calls like this recently, must be scams. Didn’t pick up, let it go to voicemail but no message left. So I just blocked the number.

Total scam alert... some bloke called John from Domestic Repair said my warranty had been handed over to them by another company and that I’d get new documents and a Certificate of Coverage next week. He even mentioned they were dropping the price. When I asked which warranty he meant, he said to hang on while he passed me to admin, but then the line just cut off. Felt like a complete waste of time. Made me think, do they use some trick to gather info while they keep you on the phone? Bit dodgy if you ask me.

Got a missed call the day before yesterday but no message left. I’m registered with the TPS and my number’s ex-directory, so it’s odd I’m getting these calls at all. Then today, I got another one from the Cirencester region which feels like it’s linked to the first one, ’cause I hadn’t had any calls like these for ages before that first one popped up.

Got a call from an unknown number but didn’t bother answering. No voicemail either, so not sure what it was about. Feels like it could be some sort of scam.

I got a call from someone about heating and plumbing insurance, telling me my policy was no longer valid. When I asked how they knew that, they just said they'd connect me to admin but then just cut the call. Totally another dodgy scam!

I got a call from someone claiming to be 'Driveway', but as soon as I asked for more details to verify who they were, they just ended the call. Felt like a bit of a scam to me.

Didn’t get any message from them. Probably just telemarketers or some kind of scam. Went straight to block.

The phone number has been buzzing three times a day for the last four days. I've chosen to disregard every single call they’ve made, and it’s rather curious - they’ve never left a message when my voicemail kicks in. Quite the mystery!

Got another call from John the driveway bloke, didn’t even drop a message. Just blocked it straight away.

I never pick up my landline cause it’s usually just scammers, so ignored the call. Definitely seemed like a scam to me.

Got a call about my driveway but ended up cutting off instantly since I don’t even have one. Pretty sure it was a scam.
4 years
I only answer my phone if it’s someone I recognise. My voicemail message asks people to leave a message and says we’ll call back. If there’s no message after a missed call, I just figure it’s probably a scam.

Sounds like one of those scams where they pretend to fix your driveway or something similar.

I've received a total of six calls from this number today, and all I got was my answer machine picking up with nothing left as a message. I'm considering this a case of harassment and will be reporting it.

This time, nothing but silence when I answered, but if it’s the same Driveway Centre scam everyone’s talking about, then it’s definitely the sixth number I’ve had to put on my block list...

This has been happening for ages now, with calls often mentioning things like ‘driveways’ or ‘energy’. Definitely another scam alert!

I keep getting phone calls asking if I’ve still got a driveway, which is odd because I’ve told them no quite a few times. Every time I ask for my number to be taken off their list they say it’s fine and they will, but the calls just don’t stop. It’s really frustrating having to keep answering something I’m not even interested in.

This number has called me a couple of times, and today they tried to drop a voicemail. It sounded like they were driving or something because most of what they said was hard to make out, except for one clear bit: "Pass on our best wishes to Andrew for his...". So yeah, they’ve got my name now. Proper strange, honestly!

I was a bit slow answering the phone, and by the time I got to it, it had already gone to voicemail and the caller had hung up.

This number has rung me for two consecutive days. I let the first call go unanswered, but when they tried again, I picked up. They were going on about driveways. I made it clear that I had no interest in what they were offering and mentioned that I shouldn't be getting calls like that without my consent.

I've been getting calls from 01285898721 on my landline almost every day, usually 3 or 4 times. I don’t pick up numbers I don’t know, so I’m clueless about who’s calling or why, but it’s definitely annoying. Lately, I just let it ring through to the answerphone and hang up straight away.

Everytime I get a call from a number I don’t recognise, I just let it go to voicemail. Annoyingly, today I had 4 different missed calls and not a single message was left. Proper frustrating!

I got a couple of calls from separate numbers, both claiming they were with some government programme about fixing damp issues. They didn’t let me get a word in and were quick to say they’d send someone round to check the place. They said their company was called Infinity.

Hey, I just saw a missed call from this number but the caller ID didn’t show any details. Anyone else recognise it? I’m hesitant to ring back since it’s totally unfamiliar. Seems like a few others were curious about who it might be too - did anyone pick up when they called? Wondering who’s actually calling from this number.

Saw this number pop up but something felt off so I didn’t pick up. When I checked my answerphone later, there was no message left. Pretty sure it was just another scam call.

Received a call concerning my driveway, but I don’t even have one! I informed the caller of this fact, and all I got in reply was a quick "thanks, goodbye." Quite bizarre, really!
