Best to steer clear of this number-it's part of a dodgy mobile phone scam. They lure you in with promises of a tempting phone and tariff deal, but once you divulge your bank details, they'll order a completely different device in your name. When the pricey phone arrives, you’ll be hounded by the scammers to return it for a 'replacement'. But don’t be fooled; if you do send it back, you'll find yourself stuck with a hefty phone bill and no new handset to show for it! Moreover, they'll possess all your banking info and personal details. It's absolutely vital to cancel your card immediately and have a chat with your mobile provider. Under no circumstances should you send back that phone! Reporting this to the police is a must, and consider enrolling with Cifas Protective Registration to help shield your account from future fraud attempts. Stay vigilant!

Got a call from Mosin Mobile about a phone contract, told them I wasn’t interested and they just told me to f off. Proper rude!

If everything I hear is right, why haven't these lot been stopped or locked up for ages? I never pick up numbers I don't know, proper folks usually leave a voicemail if it's important, and I'll ring back if I want to. Nowadays, you’d think these numbers could easily be tracked down and dealt with.

Watch out for the number 01473378129 - it's linked to Ipswich but the callers keep switching from English to Urdu after every sentence. Feels like the calls get rerouted overseas. They pitch cheap phone deals and then ask for your card info along with other personal details. It's definitely a scam, pretty much identity theft, and they'll use your card to make purchases. If you've shared your info, get on the phone to your bank straight away and freeze your cards and online accounts. Also, report it to the police and get a crime reference number. They won’t actually provide any deals, just take your money.

All those comments here hit the nail on the head, this is definitely a scam. I got a bit wary when the offers seemed way too good, so I looked into it myself. Honestly, if something looks too amazing to be real, it’s worth digging a bit deeper before trusting it.

Beware of these con artists! They lure you in with a bargain that seems too good to be true, and once you accept, they go ahead and sign you up for phone contracts without your real consent. Then, they claim there was an error and request you send the phones back to their "office" at 1 York Street, Manchester - which turns out to be a vacant building. After that, they vanish, ignoring all your calls and emails, leaving you stuck with bills for phones you never wanted. Stay well clear of these cheats!

I keep getting calls from abroad, with someone saying they’re from Mobile Limited or a name like that. When I tell them I’m going to report them to TPS, they just carry on ringing. Sometimes they pretend to be an energy provider. They don’t listen when I ask them to stop calling me. It’s pretty annoying how often it happens.

I ended up messing with them a bit and they actually blocked my number lol. Since it’s a national number, calling there doesn’t cost a thing.

Steer clear of the number 01473 378129! They're nothing but a bunch of con artists.

Hello, I’m Andrew, and I’m with phonesltd.co.uk. We’ve recently uncovered a scam that's been traced back to Pak*stan, involving con artists masquerading as representatives of Phones LTD. They’re placing calls from the numbers 01473 378129 and 378474. These tricksters are offering unbelievably low mobile phone deals that aren’t genuine, just to siphon off personal and banking information from unsuspecting victims. The deceit runs deeper than you might think - they take these details and impersonate the victims while signing them up for mobile contracts online in their name. Soon after, the phones are dispatched to the victims' addresses, and the fraudsters then reach out, claiming there’s been an issue with the delivery. They provide an address for the supposed replacements. Often, these addresses belong to empty homes, where a member of a UK gang is waiting to intercept the delivery, sign for the packages, and steal the phones. Consequently, the victims find themselves liable for lengthy contracts with no phone to return to the original provider for cancellation. We’re doing our best to support those affected and recommend the following steps: First, cancel the bank card that you shared with these scammers immediately. Secondly, it's important to report the incident to the police for a crime reference number. This documentation serves as proof that you’ve been victimized, which should assist in the cancellation of your contract(s) in co-operation with the network provider. I sincerely hope this information proves useful to someone out there. Should you need to reach us, our sole contact number is 01473 231323.

This phone number is involved in dodgy dealings. It appears to be a call centre based in Lahore, Pakistan, using VoIP technology to masquerade as representatives of UK mobile providers. They lure unsuspecting individuals with tantalising offers that don’t actually exist, all in a bid to extract personal and financial information from their targets. Once they've swindled the necessary details, they proceed to place online orders for mobile contracts under the guise of the victim. Consequently, the unsuspecting individual receives mobile phones at their doorstep, but they’re nothing like the models they believed they had ordered during the call. Following this, the fraudsters reach out, feigning concern over a dispatch issue and provide phony addresses (typically in Manchester) for the victims to return the incorrect phones through Royal Mail. These addresses turn out to be vacant properties where a UK-based gang waits to intercept the deliveries and abscond with the devices. Ultimately, this leaves the victim burdened with numerous 24-month contracts and without any phones to return to the providers to annul the agreements. Please exercise extreme caution and refrain from divulging any personal or financial information over the phone.

Somebody left a really strange message on my answering machine, talking in such a bizarre voice.

I rang a company earlier today, and even though my number is listed on the TPS, they just ended the call.

My mate just had £330 taken outta his bank account, no idea how it happened.

Hello there, I'm Andrew and I represent phonesltd.co.uk. We want to bring to your attention an ongoing scam involving individuals who falsely claim to be affiliated with Phones LTD. They've been reaching out from the numbers 01473 378129 and 378474. These con artists are offering non-existent, overly cheap mobile phone deals, trying to extract personal and financial information from unsuspecting targets. However, the scheme goes much deeper than that; they exploit these details to impersonate the victim and place orders for mobile contracts online, all in the victim’s name. The phones end up at the victim's address, and shortly after, the fraudsters follow up with a call, feigning an 'issue with shipping' and providing a new address for returns. Typically, these addresses belong to unoccupied properties, where a member of a UK gang is poised to intercept the delivery, sign for it, and make off with the phones. This leaves victims in a tough spot, stuck with 24-month contracts and no actual devices to return to the provider for cancellation. We’re doing our utmost to assist those affected and recommend the following steps: First and foremost, cancel your bank card that you provided to these scammers immediately. You'll also need to report this incident to the police to obtain a crime reference number. This documentation proves that you have been swindled, facilitating the cancellation of your contracts by the network. I genuinely hope this information aids someone out there. For assistance, feel free to reach us at our sole number: 01473 231323.

I've been getting loads of calls at my job from some guy who says he's with a phone company or that he's trying to ask one of my colleagues out. It's really odd. Sounds like an Indian bloke, and he rings pretty much daily.

What a dreadful individual, utterly deceitful in every regard! I can’t help but think that, eventually, the truth will catch up with them. It's only a matter of time before they face the consequences of their actions. Karma has a way of evening the score, doesn’t it?

This number kept ringing my office landline, asking all sorts of strange questions. I told them plenty of times to stop bothering the landline, but they just wouldn't quit. Ended up reporting the number to the police for harassment.

They keep ringing my job non stop, I’ve lost count after about 50 calls this week alone.

Got a call on my work phone from someone saying they represent a website and wanted to offer me a job earning £2700 each night! Asked me for my mobile number but I said no and ended the call. Then they rang me again from a number beginning with +42, telling me to send them a message because they were waiting on it. The voice sounded like a guy, maybe Indian, probably in his 30s. Really weird experience.

This phone kept ringing me constantly over 3 days, like 15 calls or something. I actually picked up once and asked them to stop calling, but the person on the line didn’t really speak English well, so it was hard to make out what they were saying. The only thing I caught was something about costing me £20, but I have no clue what that was even for!

They just wouldn’t stop ringing me, even when I hung up. Kept trying the work phone even tho I kept telling them to quit it. In the end, I had to report them to someone higher up. After that, they actually said sorry and finally left me be.

So this number phoned up wanting to talk to someone specific. When I told them they’d got the wrong number, they started arguing with me. Weirdly, they called again the next day asking for the same person.

Got a call from some spammer trying to push phone deals on me. The woman on the other end struggled a lot with her English.
