Loads of folks claim it’s from IPS but I’m on both IPS & TPS lists and still this number keeps blowing up my phone. I’ve missed like 8 calls already and had to block it, plus I reported it to my mobile provider thinking it’s some kind of scam. Weirdly, these calls only kicked off after I signed up to try and block scam calls with both IPS & TPS 🤦‍♂️

So annoying! This company kept calling me about comparing utility bills, claiming they could slash my costs, but they were really pushy and wouldn't take no for an answer. Proper harassment!

Please tell me who this is? I’m really upset and don’t want to be disturbed right now, I’m mourning the loss of two loved ones. So, please stop calling me, thanks.

It's quite perplexing, isn’t it? If you have something authentic to say, why not just leave a message instead of hanging up? If you're not willing to do that, then perhaps you shouldn’t be calling at all. Just seems like a ploy, really!

I got a call from someone saying they were with IPS, trying to tell me about special deals from other companies. That doesn't seem like something IPS would normally do.

This number keeps calling me and it’s driving me mad. If you’re legit, just leave a message instead of ringing nonstop. Bet it’s scammers anyway.

I found out this number belongs to the IPS group (Individual Protection Service). You can sign up your phone for nothing to help block annoying but legal ads and dodgy, illegal scam calls. I gave it a go and it looks like it’s doing the job so far.

I’d say don’t bother, total nuisance. Just block it.

I keep getting calls from this number, but most times I’m at work and can’t pick up. One time I did, but all I heard was lots of people talking in the background and couldn’t make out a word. They've also left quite a few voicemails, but it’s the same thing - voices and background music, no clear message. I’ve had enough and blocked the number now!

They keep ringing me non stop, its really frustrating.

Got a call from a number flagged as possible fraud since it’s a business line. Turned out to be someone from the Individual Protection Service (IPS) offering to sign you up to block spam calls and scams. They’re funded by some partners they mentioned, but there’s absolutely no pressure to join. If you decide not to go ahead, no worries at all. It sounds a bit unbelievable, but honestly, it’s a free service they provide.

Since I blocked this number on the 4th of August, they've kept ringing me loads every day. Really can't be bothered with it. Pretty obvious they're ignoring the message.

I got two calls from 01403800249 in just a couple minutes. This isn’t the first time either, I’ve been getting loads of calls from this number before. My phone actually flags it as possibly a scam. I usually don’t pick up any calls from numbers I don’t know, especially ones I didn't ask for.

Yeah, they rang me several times earlier.

These calls are total SCAMS! Make sure you report every dodgy call. Just search for ‘action fraud’ on Google, then hit the ‘police.uk’ link. From there, find the ‘reporting’ tab and pick ‘phishing report’ from the menu. Scroll down past the bit about scam emails and you’ll find the form to fill out your report. You don’t have to sign up or anything. Look out for yourselves out there, and seriously, don’t ignore any suspicious calls - report them all!

My phone buzzed and the caller ID showed "Potential Fraud", so I just ignored it and didn't pick up.

So, this number rang me up the other day, but as soon as I mentioned that it popped up on my phone as a possible scam, the person on the other end seemed a bit rattled. She told me to just look them up on Google and then abruptly ended the call. Quite dodgy if you ask me.

Been getting calls from some dodgy phone preference scam all day. Tried blocking one number, but then they rang me from a different one. They even left a silent voicemail after I put a message up saying no spam calls, which is just ridiculous!

I got a call from a number 01403800249 about some phone blocking service, they kept going on about it being free but mentioned partners you could get some perks from. They claimed I joined up through Facebook or something. I told them they’re just as much a nuisance as the spam calls I’m trying to avoid.

I keep getting calls from this number on my phone every single day. I never pick up. Ended up blocking it now!

They said they were some kind of manager at TPS, and I reckon I've talked to them before since they already had my email and a memorable word. It was mostly harmless though, just a ploy to get you to sign up with companies so they'd cold call you later. Bit of an irony, considering TPS exists to stop those annoying calls :/

They say to rely on ISPs to put a stop to all those annoying cold calls and harassment, but funny enough, it’s actually the ISPs themselves causing the hassle. When you spot this number ___, just don’t pick up - better to block it straight away.

I got a call from 01403800249, and the bloke claimed he was from IPS doing a follow-up. He asked for my name and address, but I refused to give any info. Something just felt off about the whole thing, so I ended the call. Definitely didn’t trust it.
