Phone number ☎️ 01472501915 👆 is reported as a persistent and aggressive nuisance scam, often pretending to be from the Telephone Preference Service or related departments, frequently featuring Indian or Asian-accented callers. Calls commonly include background noise suggestive of call centres, silent responses, sudden hang-ups, or rude behaviour when challenged. They may attempt to extract personal or payment card details, create confusion about genuine services, or threaten recipients. Most users recommend ignoring, blocking, and reporting the number due to high risk of fraud. Vulnerable individuals, especially the elderly, are particularly targeted. Callers often fail to provide verifiable information and react poorly to scrutiny. The volume and frequency of calls indicate a well-organised scam operation, causing significant irritation and concern for many recipients.
Reports on phone number 01472501915
8 yearsAdvantage finance called me out of the blue.8 yearsI just let the answerphone take it and they didn't bother leaving a message. Typical! Fingers crossed I'll stay this sharp and just ignore these calls when I'm older.8 yearsHad this guy with an Indian accent claiming his name was Roger, plenty of call centre chatter in the background. He said he was from Telephone Preference Management - my husband’s reply was too much to say here. We ended the call with Roger stuck listening to Ellie Goulding blasting from the speaker!RogerTelephone Preference ManagementEllie Goulding8 yearsThey just rang me but my call blocker stopped it, looks like the code’s from Grimsby. With all the complaints here, it’s gotta be a scam. These folks should be banned for abusing phone lines and trying to con people.Grimsby8 yearsJust like a bunch of others here, I said "who's this?" and all I could hear was that usual call centre buzz in the background before they dropped the call.8 yearsMy mum’s been getting these silent calls non-stop, it’s proper annoying. Don’t they have anything else to keep them busy, seriously?8 yearsEven tho its a Grimsby code, my Caller ID said it was from abroad. I chose not to pick up.GrimsbyCaller8 yearsSounds like a noisy call centre in the background but no-one actually spoke to me. They just cut the call after about 20 seconds. From what I’ve seen here, looks like this "Michael" bloke is up to no good, probably a scammer messing about.Michael8 yearsHeard a lady with a thick Asian accent but couldnt understand a word she said. She hung up on me after I tried to ask a few things. She kept asking if I was the owner of something but had no clue what she meant.8 yearsYet another scammer from Asia.8 yearsBeware of tps scam calls!TPS8 yearsThere wasnt any voice just some weird sounds in the background. I just ended the call, checked 1471 then tried calling back. The number wasnt on record.8 yearsGot a call from some muppet at 11:32 this morning, could hear loads of noise in the background.8 yearsMichael (sure thing!) had the nerve to lecture me about nuisance calls. When I mentioned I thought this was one, he just went and called me a daft woman with no sense. Hopefully he doesn’t stir up too much trouble for others, but I doubt many would be fooled. If you get a call from this number, best to just block it!Michael8 yearsI just gave him a quiet chuckle, and that Michael bloke can go crash his boat on the rocks, and then we’ll all be singing hallelujah!Michael8 yearsNo one spoke, but I could hear quiet chuckling in the background.8 yearsLike a bunch of others, just silence when I picked up the answering machine.8 yearsRinged me a couple of times but left no voicemail or anything.8 years01472 501915 rang my mother-in-law asking for £150 to unblock her phone, then started being really rude and making a pass at my wife. How come nothing’s being done to stop this kind of scam?8 yearsJust like what everyone else is saying, all I get is a robotic goodbye or no reply at all. But now, they’re ringing me up in the middle of the night, like at 10pm, 1am, even 2.30am. It’s so annoying!8 yearsGot a call from 'Telephone Preference Management' trying to get us to renew a subscription we never had to stop nuisance calls. Honestly, it’s pointless - didn’t stop a single one. The caller quickly changed it to 'Service' mid-sentence. I reckon some older folks or those with hearing difficulties might fall for this trick. [email protected]@@@@@s!Telephone Preference Management8 yearsGot hit with another one of those quiet calls. Seems like I’m getting roughly 4 of these daily from different numbers. Honestly, I’m not expecting much to change with the new regulations they announced today!!!8 yearsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise, answered and it was just silent on their end, but I could hear people chatting in a call centre. Funny enough, the new regulations on nuisance calls kicked in today. Been receiving loads of international calls recently, but I picked up this one since I recognised the area code.8 yearsGot a call around lunchtime on Saturday. I could hear loads of background noise like a call centre, with voices humming in the background. No one actually talked to me, they just hung up straight away.8 yearsSomeone rang saying they were from the telephone preference service (TPS). They already had my name and address, which was a bit worrying. The person spoke with a really thick Indian accent. They asked me to verify my details so they could supposedly stop nuisance calls. Seemed like a total scam to me, so I just hung up straight away.Telephone Preference ServiceTPS8 yearsGot a call from a woman with an Indian accent, sounded like one of those cold calls. I said straight up 'how can I help you?' then she just hung up. These annoying calls are coming more often now, even though there’s loads of people trying to cut them down. What a load of rubbish.8 yearsThere was some noisy chatter in the background, then after a bit this man with an Asian accent just said "hello". I told him to "Leave me alone" and he quickly ended the call :-)8 yearsSome idiot who just stayed silent the whole time.8 yearsI got a call from an Asian bloke named Dave claiming to be from the Telephone Department. He wanted me to sign up for TPS and said he’d send a gadget to hook up to my phone to stop spam calls. Honestly, I gave him the same reply I did to another Asian guy, Kevin, who rang me last week saying he was from the Computer Department.DaveDepartment of TelephoneKevinDepartment of Computer8 yearsSpoke to Michael, sounded like he was from Mumbai, Calcutta or maybe even Lahore, trying to sell some service to block nuisance calls. Told him he himself was a nuisance, but he didn’t seem to get the joke at all!MichaelMumbaiKolkataLahore8 yearsThey put me on hold for a bit then a robot voice said "goodbye" like they just gave up. Honestly, most of the calls I get now are dead silent so maybe they really don't have any operators left? Seems like a total waste of time.8 yearsHad a brief moment of silence followed by an automated "goodbye," which suggests they might have overloaded their call centre and run out of staff. Considering that a staggering 95% of the calls I receive these days are dead air, I can't help but wonder if they've got anyone left to answer the phone!8 yearsGot a call today, all I could hear was some weird muffled noise, then it just cut off. Proper annoying!8 yearsWoman with an Asian accent called, asked for my wife by her first name. Heard loads of background noise then she just hung up.8 yearsWas informed during the call that my payment card had reached its expiry date, and they requested my new card information.8 yearsFraud alert. Hope you have a good one.8 yearsGot a call earlier, but no one said a word. Just some mumbling I could hear behind. Looks like whoever it was lost their script!8 yearsTypical scam calls from Asia, like those TPI, Microsoft, PPI, or Accident Claim ones. Normally I don’t pick up, but if I’ve got some free time, like today, I mess with them for ages before telling them off with a proper string of classic Anglo Saxon swear words - seems like everyone gets them lol. Over time they’ve tried scare tactics, like saying they’ll turn up or keep calling nonstop, but it never actually happens. So don’t hold back, give the buggers a proper telling-off, male or female. 😄 That number’s now blocked on my BT Call Guardian, along with loads of others.TPIMicrosoft8 yearsThe person called asking if they were speaking to Mrs X. When I asked who he was, he said he was from TPS, which I really don’t believe. He mentioned our address and said I lived in the "City of XVille", but I told him that’s not a city. Then he started shuffling a bunch of papers, probably his script, trying to keep up. He went on about stopping nuisance calls for me. I got bored and said, "Like this one?" and he just hung up! Total scammers!XTPSCity of XVille8 yearsI received a call, but oddly enough, there was utter silence on the other end.8 yearsThis number has rung me a couple of times, but luckily call blocker stops the calls from coming through. If you're getting constant cold calls, I really suggest reporting them to the ICO (Information Commissioner's Office). They actually take action against these cold calling firms and some have been fined big amounts - one got hit with a £100,000 fine for making more than 75,000 annoying calls. Definitely head over to the ICO website and file a complaint.ICOInformation Commissioner ’ s Office8 yearsAnnoying caller on a Bank Holiday. Didn’t leave a voicemail either. I never pick up if it’s an “unknown number” and block them straight away if there’s no message. Hopefully they’ll give up soon.Bank Holiday8 yearsGot calls over and over from this number. Both men and women with Asian accents. Sometimes they say there’s a problem with my computer, other times they pretend to be from Microsoft or BT. They get really rude if you ask any questions and just hang up on you. I imagine this is a proper nightmare for older folks or anyone who might feel scared or worried by these calls.MicrosoftBT8 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy asking if I was the phone 'owner'. I said nothing. He claimed to be calling from the 'phone company'. I just stayed quiet and ended the call. That’s the second dodgy call today. Another one came from 0203 287 5683 and left a message that could freak out anyone who's vulnerable - pretending to be HMRC but sounding really harsh and scary.HMRC8 yearsMy mum’s been getting quiet calls from 02476680732 and it’s really worrying me. Does anyone know how to put an end to this?8 yearsIt seemed like there was a call centre buzzing in the background, but they just ended the call as soon as I picked up.8 yearsJust got a call and as soon as I picked up they ended it. Bet they found someone more likely to fall for it on another call.8 yearskept ringing over and over, claiming they wanted my debit card details for some kinda security thing! totally fishy.8 yearsI answered the call but stayed silent, then the person on the other end just said goodbye and hung up.8 yearsIt’s quite frustrating receiving calls at such odd hours, like 8 in the morning or even as late as half past 9 in the evening. When I finally picked up, the chap on the line, who sounded Indian, didn’t take kindly to my inquiries regarding how he obtained my details. I politely requested him to “hold” and set my phone down on mute for about 8 to 10 minutes. Upon returning, he was still hanging on, so I cheerfully thanked him for his patience and for effectively wasting his own time. He muttered something in what sounded like his native tongue before abruptly ending the call. Naturally, I’ve now added him to my block list!8 yearsThe woman with an asian accent said hi then it just cut off.8 yearsGot a call from some Asian scammer. People in Grimsby should stick to real jobs, not this rubbish.Grimsby8 yearsFraudsters pretending they're from the TPS.Telephone Preference Service8 yearsGot a call from this number, the person asked if it was my number and I told them I just rent it. They hung up straight away. Honestly, don’t feel guilty about being a bit blunt with these callers.8 yearsGot a suspicious sounding bloke with an Asian accent claiming to be from TPS, but that was all he managed to say.TPS8 yearsThis number 01472501915 keeps ringing my landline, it’s supposed to be from Grimsby and sounds like one of those scams - best just to ignore it.Grimsby8 yearsAnswered the phone and a lady with an Asian accent just said “hello” then quickly ended the call.8 yearsI keep getting calls on my landline from this number 0147250191, which apparently is from Grimsby and looks like a scam - best to just ignore it.Grimsby8 yearsGot a call from this number, but when I answered, there was just complete silence on the other end. I did catch faint chatter in the background, like it was coming from a call centre or something. Seems dodgy, especially after reading other folks’ reports about this number. Definitely feels like a scam. I’d say it’s risky and wouldn’t trust it.8 yearsGot a call around 11:10 this morning - an Asian woman said hi then just burst into singing over the phone! Really odd. Better block this number.8 yearsGot a call today from an Asian bloke called Roger, claimed he was from the TPS. Told him I’m already on their list but he said mine wasn’t activated or summat. Asked me to confirm my name and address but I refused. Then he started shouting all kinds of nasty swear words at me! I’m seriously thinking of learning some Asian insults now. This dodgy guy defo needs to be reported.RogerTPS8 yearsMy phone buzzed, I picked up and heard a woman say 'bye' before hanging up straight away. Definitely seems like a scam to me.8 yearsA lady with an Asian accent already had our name, address and phone number. She said she was calling from TPS and then asked about the expiry date on our card. My partner wasn’t impressed and ended the call straight away.TPS8 yearsSaid he was from the TPS call blocking team. I told him he was faking it and just a scammer. Blocked the number straight away.8 yearsGot called by yet another scammer, that’s the second different one just today. Stay clear!8 yearsClaimed to be from t.p.s., probably one of those indian fraudsters. Had a right laugh keeping him chatting with loads of rubbish until he got proper mardy. Then I told him I wished his kids got a nasty illness, which just set him off even more. I really enjoy messing about with these muppets.8 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from the TPS, but it was just an Indian scammer.IndiaTPS8 yearsA lady with an Asian accent called asking if this number belonged to me. I replied with "Why do you ask?" but she just stayed silent, so I ended up hanging up.8 yearsThe person just cut the call as soon as I picked up.8 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy saying he was with the TPS. He knew bits of my name and address, asked me to confirm them. When I asked how I could check he was legit, he just rambled on. Then I asked for his website and he shouted twice “How many times do I have to tell you!” before hanging up. Sounds like a total scam to me.TPS8 yearsSo this person called and asked for me by my name. I told them it wasn’t me. They kept going, asking if I was certain. I just chuckled and said yeah, then ended the call!8 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent claiming he was ringing from the Telephone Preference (or was it "reference"?) Service, trying to add me to their list to stop nuisance calls. Funny enough, I’m already on the TPS register. He started talking about some records with my details, then totally bungled his words and hung up straight away. All I managed to say was “Hello” before he gone.Telephone Preference ServiceTPS8 yearsI rang them just now. Answered with a hello, then a woman quickly said goodbye and hung up. Strange behaviour.8 yearshow much longer are they gonna keep doing these annoying cold calls? it’s proper frustrating!8 yearsReally unpleasant and pushy bloke, sounded Asian, got rude with me so I told him to sod off and ended the call. He then rang back and started shouting all sorts of abuse down the line.8 yearsSomeone called saying they were stopping nuisance calls to my number. Asked me to confirm my name and phone number, then suddenly wanted the expiry date from one of my bank cards. Told them I wasn't sharing that info, then they got really rude so I just ended the call.8 yearsGot a call around 10:45 this morning, they asked for Mrs M. Told them they had the wrong person and they just hung up. Just another dodgy scam from abroad I reckon. Said nah and bye.Politely8 yearsrang me then just dropped the call as soon as i picked up8 yearsThis number called me too, and also 13015154500, same caller saying they’re from TalkTalk about my internet, but I don’t even have their service. Now I’m getting messages from 17747222675, they’re real pushy. I’m avoiding answering because after reading the other reviews, it seems a bit risky.TalkTalk8 yearsCaller had an Asian accent. Wanted to know who had the number before. Then just hung up. Tried ringing back but the number didn’t show up anywhere!!8 yearsSome bloke called saying he was from TPS and wanted my credit card info. Told him the service is free, and he just hung up.TPS8 yearsGot a call from an Asian bloke saying he was from TPS, total scam without a doubt.TPS8 yearsThey called but didn’t leave any voicemail, definitely sounds like a scam to me.8 yearsGot a call from 01472 501915 around 15:11 today. Some Asian bloke called Roger claiming he was from "Telephone Preference Marketing". Definitely a scam so I just ended the call.RogerMarketing8 yearsHe called claiming to be from the TPS, saying they were protecting my phone line. I told him he must reckon I’d fallen off a Christmas tree or something. Then he replied back that the Christmas tree had toppled over and out of nowhere started singing ‘Merry Christmas’!TPS8 yearsGot a call from some bloke pretending to be from BT. He was going on and on, but I didn’t fall for it and refused to give out any info. When I asked him for my security password, he hung up sharpish. Total scam, what a bunch of muppets!BT8 yearsI keep gettin calls but nobody ever answers! It’s really annoying!8 yearsSome bloke said he was calling from Telephone Management Services. I told him I’m already signed up to the TPS and asked how he got hold of my number, since they’re not supposed to be ringing me. He replied, “What you gonna do about it? I’ll just keep ringing you over and over.” I then asked, “Are you threatening me?” and he answered, “Yeah, I am. You want to take me on? What you gonna do?” I just ended the call there and then.Telephone Management ServicesTPS8 yearsI received a call from someone purporting to be with the Telephone Preference Service, a chap of Indian descent. However, when I started probing him with some unexpected queries, he seemed quite taken aback. In the end, I decided to terminate the conversation.Telephone Preference Service8 yearsGot a call from this number, but as soon as my answerphone kicked in, they hung up. Definitely a scammer.8 yearsI answered the phone, but the only thing I caught was someone saying, “Goodbye,” before the line went dead.8 yearsJust got a call maybe 10 minutes ago from someone saying they were TPS, warning me my payment info was about to expire. They mentioned my debit card and address but the details they gave were totally wrong and old. Didn’t bother staying on, hung up straight away because it was so obviously a scam.TPS8 yearsCan someone please block this damn number? After a quick lookup it shows up as Virgin Media from Grimsby. It’s clear it’s just being used for annoying calls or maybe some sort of scam or harassment. I mean, with all these similar reviews here, you’d think Virgin Media could sort it out for us! Seriously, can’t they do anything to stop this madness??Virgin MediaGrimsby8 yearsHad a call the other day where the person kept mentioning TPS, then started asking about payment info.
