01449720709 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01449720709 👆 is reported as a persistently nuisance phone number linked to scam calls, often claiming to be from a benefits organisation. Callers typically remain silent, hang up abruptly, or pressure recipients for personal information, sometimes knowing names and addresses, raising concerns about possible identity theft. Many callers speak with foreign accents and refuse to reveal their identity or allow recipients to verify their legitimacy. The calls occur frequently, sometimes multiple times a day, including early mornings and weekends, causing substantial distress, especially to vulnerable individuals. Despite blocking efforts and GDPR removal requests, calls persist, often from withheld or private numbers. Recipients widely recommend ignoring or blocking and caution against sharing any personal details. The consensus urges regulatory action to combat this ongoing harassment.

Got a call from a man with an Asian accent claiming to be from UK benefits. He asked if he could speak to someone whose name definitely wasn’t mine. Then he asked for my full name, so I asked what the call was about. He said he had some questions, but I told him I don’t share my details on the phone and asked him to send a letter instead. After that, he just hung up. Feels like a total scam trying to grab personal info.

This number keeps popping up repeatedly over the past few days, it's driving me mad! I don’t get how these people are still getting away with it even though there’s new rules in place. Plus, I’m pretty sure I signed up for BT’s do not call list ages ago, so how are they still managing to ring me? Strange times.

I keep receiving calls from these muppets on a daily basis. They claim to be representing You Benefit, calling to ask just three questions. I’ve repeatedly asked them to remove my number from their list, but they are an absolute nuisance! Absolute pain in the backside! 😤

Got a call from 01449 720709 at about 10 in the morning. Some Asian guy was quiet until I told him to speak up, somehow he already knew my name and postcode. When I said that info wasn't right, he quickly switched to asking if I had insurance on my washing machine. Had a nearly identical call a few days ago. Usually, I just hang up straight away, they're proper pain, especially when they ring at 8am while I'm trying to get the kids ready for school. These idiots really don't get it.

Some bloke rang me up knowin our family name. He kept pushin me to say if I was some person. When I asked him who he was, he just brushed it off and kept askin me to confirm who I was. I told him if he wouldn’t say who he was, I wasn’t gonna chat with him. He kept pressurin me for an answer so I had to just end the call. No idea who it was but I’m not trusting them one bit.

It's usually around 10 in the morning on a Monday when those annoying cold call scammers ring me up. Nowadays, I just let it ring for about 5 or 6 times before picking up, then I stay quiet. At least that way they know someone answered but I don't have to deal with their nonsense. I've been getting calls from that benefits place in the UK for more than three years now. Honestly, the businesses they work for should really be fined because they must be aware these cold callers are total pests.

Somebody rang me saying they were from the benefits office and they actually knew my name. They didn’t even let me get a word in before going on about me being on the do-not-call list and that they shouldn’t have contacted me. I just hung up straight away. Honestly, I’m so tired of these scam calls. Something really needs to be done about it soon.

I got a call from this guy named Peter, sounded like he was from abroad. He kept asking me some stuff about my postcode and address. I asked him a couple of times where he was actually calling from and he said something about benefits. Didn’t trust it, so I just hung up.

I’ve been inundated with these relentless calls as well. It’s absolutely infuriating, and I’m completely fed up with it. I think the chap mentioned something about Benefit UK, but I can’t be entirely certain. The moment I started probing him about his reasons for ringing me, he just hung up.

Answerd the phone but stayed quiet, some lady started chatting without even saying who she was. She quickly got bored cause I said nothing and hung up. Didn’t get a follow up call, so definitely not a legit caller. Seems like typical spam to me.

This morning at precisely 11:10, I received a phone call from a gentleman representing what he referred to as "You Benefit." He claimed he had a brief survey consisting of three yes/no questions that would take no longer than twenty seconds of my time. Naturally, I inquired how he obtained my telephone number, to which he replied that it was sourced from their database and that they were reaching out to all residents in the vicinity. I chose not to engage further. Upon doing some digging, I found scant information online pertaining to that name. There is, however, a mention of "U Benefit," but clicking on it leads to an empty webpage. Quite dodgy, if you ask me. G T J

Got two calls within about 30 minutes. The first one was just dead silence, no one said a word. When I didn’t ring back, they called again pretending to be from Benefits UK, asking me to answer some questions. They knew my name and address spot on. I told them I wasn’t the person they were looking for, then the bloke immediately asked who I was. When I replied that it wasn’t their business, he just hung up straight away. These lot have called me before; definitely scammers trying to trick people into giving away their info.

I’m convinced these annoying calls come from your phone company, even if they say they don’t. The government won’t step in either, cause they’re just focused on squeezing more cash outta us to line their own pockets. Seems like no one really cares anymore, just looking out for themselves. I just let the answerphone pick up now - no point risking it. Oh, and yep, I’m ex-directory too.

I had quite the experience with a caller who utterly mangled my name! They seemed intent on keeping me chatting and claimed that if I answered three questions, I’d be spared from their incessant calls forever. One of the queries involved my address, which I promptly told them was wrong. No chance I’m revealing my whereabouts! After that, they abruptly cut off the line. Just prior, they rang me about 40 minutes ago, but I wasn’t quick enough to pick up. Honestly, the only calls we receive on our landline are these nuisance ones and the occasional client. We only keep the landline because my husband runs his own business, and while most of his calls go through his mobile, it’s a comfort for our customers to have that option. The downside is that I have to maintain a polite demeanour for every single caller, just in case! 🙈

Had another ring from UK Benefits again in just a couple days and they weren’t happy with me saying no. They said they just needed to ask a few quick questions but then refused to stop calling. What creeped me out was they already had my full name and where I live. Lately the scam calls won’t quit, loads of them, which gets on my nerves big time. Almost always the voice sounds foreign, maybe Indian? I usually just fire back with, “Your mum should be proud, raising such a dishonest scoundrel!”

I just didn’t pick up when this number 01449720709 called. I’m older and have disabilities, so these scam calls really wear me down. Even though I paid my phone company to block anonymous numbers, they keep ringing me from loads of different numbers. I get about three or four calls daily. It’s getting unbearable. Someone really needs to sort this out.

Today at about 10.15 on 27/10/2018, we got a call from some man with an Asian accent who told my wife it was her dad on the line. This really upset her because her dad has already died, and she was almost in tears. I tried ringing back but the number was some automated nonsense and didn’t look real. Honestly, these lads should be looking into stopping this kind of thing.

Just got a ring from this number early this morning, like around half past eight on a Saturday - who even calls then? Didn’t pick up since I didn’t have a clue who it was. Seriously, they should just leave us alone and stop bothering people at weird times like that!

This number has been ringing me non stop claiming it’s about benefits! They always ask if I’m Mr Smith, which I’m not. Then they want me to confirm a postcode that’s nothing like where I actually live. I never give out my real info. Nowadays, I just put some music on loud and let them listen for a bit before they hang up. Fingers crossed they’ll stop calling soon.

These persistent calls just won't let up, incessantly bothering me every 40 minutes since 9:18 this Saturday morning! I've chosen not to answer them, yet I really wish they'd take the hint and stop. We have a voicemail system in place for a reason, and if they're too lazy to leave a message, that's their problem. Honestly, I’m quite fed up with the constant stream of scam calls invading my peaceful weekend.

Got a call from 01449730709, they wanted to talk to me by name. I told them no, then they just hung up. It’s weird how these people seem to have personal info, feels like someone’s sharing details around. There’s definitely some kind of pattern going on here.

Got a call from someone with an Indian accent saying they were from "UK Benefits".

Luckily, haven’t had any more calls from them.

I got called like 11 times within 30 minutes. Sometimes they just hung up, other times they asked to talk to whoever’s in charge.

Lately, I’ve been getting loads of annoying calls so I just let my answerphone pick up everything. The scammers never bother to leave a message, but at least I can see their number and block it straight away. If it’s someone legit, they’ll leave a message and I can call them back. It’s getting really frustrating now. Honestly, the Government and phone companies really should do something about all these nuisance calls. If it wasn’t for needing the internet, I’d have dumped my landline ages ago!

We kept getting calls from someone saying they were from Benefits UK, ringing non stop for about 30 minutes. We told them loads of times we weren’t interested but they just wouldn’t stop.

About five minutes ago I got a ring from this number. The bloke on the line sounded quite foreign, maybe Indian? Like others mentioned, he wanted to ask me a few questions about my benefits. Since I’m retired and don’t claim any benefits, I knew straight away it was dodgy. What bothered me a bit was that he definitely had my surname and address, though he only got the first letter of my first name, which was wrong. I just told him I had no idea who he was and hung up. I’ve got a block set up on my phone but somehow he slipped past it.
