Phone number ☎️ 01383726989 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance caller, frequently contacting people about Dyson vacuum servicing despite many not owning such appliances.

This call centre works for a company in Dunfermline that fixes vacuums. We've dealt with them a few times before, and they’re pretty trustworthy and don't charge a fortune either.

I got call centre sounds on the line then a voice asking about my Dyson vacuum. Didn’t really get what the scam was meant to be, so I just said I never owned one as they’re too heavy for me and I can’t really use them and all that. She was quite polite tho and said goodbye before ending the call!

A courteous woman called "Barbara" phoned three of our four numbers back to back. All our numbers are on the TPS. I can't really blame "Barbara" since she was nice and just doing her job to make a living in these tough times, but the firm - "Scotvac" - seem like absolute predators. They've cold called us before too, even after we told them we're on the TPS, which they blatantly disregard.

The call showed up as coming from the Dunfermline region, so I rang Dyson's official freephone number and was told it wasn’t them. They haven’t been dispatching repair technicians since covid began and only pick up machines for servicing at their own centres. I then got in touch with the Dunfermline number that had phoned me, cancelled the Monday booking, and they finally confessed they weren’t Dyson but a firm called ScotVac. I think you can work out what’s going on here.

Just had my Dyson sorted out by Alex, really friendly bloke who did an excellent job. He even taught me how to clean the filters myself, which I had no clue about before. Definitely recommend this company, I'll be using them again for sure. Good value too, saved me from buying a whole new Dyson!

Having perused the various grumbles from others, I seriously doubt that the individual behind the calls has any link to vacuum cleaner sales at all. It appears to me that they’re just one of those pesky nuisance callers. I've had quite a few ring me from this number myself, and I’ve chosen to just brush them off entirely.

Got a call from Scotvac claiming they’d service my Dyson. Had a bad experience before, but I nearly got fooled again. Looks like they’re still up and about, even after being featured on something like BBC Watchdog not long ago. Honestly, don’t let them near your stuff. Sir James Dyson himself says his vacuums don’t need servicing anyway.

I received a rather puzzling phone call earlier, supposedly regarding a Dyson of mine. However, when I informed the caller that I didn’t possess one, he quickly apologised and admitted he’d misdialled before ending the conversation. Oddly enough, I have a vague recollection of a similar incident from a few years back. What on earth is happening? It was around 8 in the evening when it all went down.

Just got a call from someone named Stacey from ScotVac asking about my Dyson. I told her I haven’t owned a Dyson in over 7 years and she said sorry and that she’d take me off their list. But then I remembered, she called my Scottish landline I got only 2 years ago - how did she link me to a Dyson I sold ages ago?! So I looked them up online. Feels like they’re using the electoral roll to pair names with numbers, which is odd since mine’s private and I’m on TPS. Bit unsettling to be honest!

Scotvac from Dunfermline rang me about a Dyson hoover I don’t even own. This isn’t the first occasion they’ve phoned a number registered with the Telephone Preference Service. They’re supposed to verify this before calling, but clearly aren’t bothering. I’d advise folks to avoid dealing with a company that so casually ignores nuisance call rules, even if their service is legitimate.

Got Scot Vac to come and sort out my Dyson vacuum, and the lad Alex was the one who came over. He did a brilliant job, honestly the best service since I got the Dyson. I've tried other firms before but none matched up to this guy. He was polite and explained every step he was taking, even gave me tips on cleaning the filters. Would definitely recommend these guys!

The person on the phone claimed to be from a firm hired by Dyson to do servicing for a 'discounted price' of £25, with extra charges for parts. They said they'd be nearby the next day. When I asked some questions, they didn't know anything about the model or if it was under warranty, and couldn’t explain how they got my details. The call came from across the country using a number that was only recently set up. Seems really dodgy to me, probably a scam.

I received a call rather late, around 9 o'clock in the evening. They inquired whether I owned a Dyson vacuum cleaner. Well, I've got an old DC01 model, and Dyson actually contacted me over a decade ago to inform me that they wouldn't be servicing that particular version anymore. The whole thing left me feeling a bit on edge, so I decided to end the conversation and hang up. To add to that, they attempted to ring me two more times, but I promptly unplugged my phone!

These callers keep ringing me up until 9 in the evening, which is quite bothersome since I start work at 4 in the morning. Each time I answer, they inquire whether I have a Vax or a Dyson; I do have a Vax. When I confirm it's functioning fine, they abruptly end the call. This happens up to four times a day on my landline, and they even know my name, which is rather unsettling. It's reached a point where I've resorted to taking the phone off the hook!

I keep receiving relentless calls about a Dyson or Vax, neither of which I possess. They appear to be utterly incapable of comprehending a firm refusal and continuously hound me.
