Phone number ☎️ 01482484617 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving texts and calls from individuals falsely claiming to represent a debt collection agency managing PayPal accounts. Recipients frequently report receiving messages addressed to the wrong names, with demands to call back urgently and quote reference numbers. The messages often display incorrect personal details and sometimes use spoofed email addresses, raising suspicions. Genuine companies have warned about such spoofing tactics. Many users advise ignoring or blocking the number due to repeated harassment and potential costs. Official PayPal confirmation has identified these communications as fraudulent. New visitors should remain cautious, avoid sharing personal information, and verify any debt claims directly via official company channels. This scam has caused considerable frustration and stress among those mistakenly targeted.

Got a few messages from someone saying they're Wescot 'for PayPal' that start with "Hi Billy..." and include this number to chat. I’m not Billy though! Definitely looks like a scam to me.

Does anyone here happen to have an account with Lloyds? Or maybe any of the Lloyds banking group?

I've been getting nonstop calls and voicemails from people saying they're Wescot. At first, it was just voicemails from a different number (+44 1482 590502) asking me to sort out a repayment and giving a reference number. I blocked it straight away since it clearly seemed like a scam. Now, I'm also getting texts from a new number that’s hidden, claiming Wescot is ‘handling’ my Paypal account and telling me to call 01482484617. I've blocked that too. I really feel sorry for the real Wescot team - they must get loads of confused people contacting them because of these dodgy calls.

Calls and texts keep coming non stop. The legit Westcot Debt Collection company even have a part on their site about fake numbers being used. I keep blocking them and fingers crossed they stop after a while.

Got a text from “Wescot” saying PayPal told them to handle my account and they’d send me a link to sort things out or I could ring them. Yeah, right! Pretty sure it’s another bunch of scammers from India - loads of them keep texting and calling me from different numbers. I’ve got a voicemail on the longest timer possible, thanks to Kitboga’s “just wait a moment remix” - look it up if you want a laugh :D Now they don’t bother leaving messages cos every time they do, it eats their time and money. Score for me!

They claimed to be PayPal but sent an email from PayPai. Com which looks identical. They said my account was overdue. Apparently, they are located in Hull.

They sent me a text asking me to ring them back, so i did (probably not the smartest move). I asked for some details then just ended the call. Now i’m phoning the number listed on Wescot’s official site (which is different from the one that called me) to see if they even recognise me! I’ve never heard of this company before or had any dealings with them.

They said they were with Wescot, but I’ve never heard of them or dealt with them at all, so I thought it was a scam. They told me they needed to get in touch urgently and that I should ring them back with a reference number they gave me.

01482484617 has been ringing me repeatedly, but they keep getting my name wrong and claiming I owe money. If this number pops up, just don't pick up and block it if you can. No need to worry, it’s probably nothing serious.

Just got a couple of texts and a call from Wescot claiming they need to speak to me urgently, telling me to ring 01482484617 with some reference number. It’s a joke. Definitely blocking them since I don’t owe anyone a penny. Had similar calls from Eon before, with automated messages about debts. Rang Eon myself using their official site number and they said I’m not even a customer! What a load of rubbish!

I've been experiencing something quite similar for the past few days, around three or four to be precise. I've attempted to block their number, yet they keep resurfacing with a different digit combination. It's obvious it's the same bunch, as they never bother to leave a proper message. All I receive is "call me urgently" followed by the phone number. Just yesterday, that's all I got time and again, and by the day's end, it seemed like they were rather frustrated, only leaving the number and nothing more! It's utterly unprofessional, to say the least! Cheers, S.M.W.

Received a rather alarming message urging me to ring them back right away. If it were genuinely pressing, why wouldn't they have just called me directly? Sounds like yet another dodgy scam, if you ask me. Never heard of Westcot before, and I’m quite convinced I don’t owe money to anyone!

got a text last night saying it was urgent but I just ignored it. this morning I got a call from someone called westcott. they had my name but the address was wrong. he asked for my personal info but wouldn’t say which company he was calling for, only said it was some utility. the bloke refused to give his name and then just hung up. now I’ve got another text from the same address, says to call wescot urgently on 01482484617 with ref 00000000. the registered office is glencairn street saltcoats ka21 5jt no. sc084131. suspicious to me.

Received a rather pressing message yesterday, but I decided to overlook it. Fast forward to this morning, I got a phone call from Westcott. They had my name but an unfamiliar address on file. The caller was relentless in asking for my personal information, yet due to 'data protection' regulations, he wouldn’t divulge which company he represented-just mentioned it was something to do with utilities. The chap, who refused to share his name, abruptly ended the conversation. Now, I’ve been sent another urgent text from the same number, prompting me to ring Wescot immediately at 01482484617, quoting reference 00000000. The registered address provided is Glencairn Street, Saltcoats KA21 5JT, with registration No. SC084131. Quite the nuisance, if you ask me!

I've just received a rather peculiar message asking me to urgently contact Wescot at 01482484617, referring to some odd number 787430727. It also mentions their registered office is on Glencairn Street in Saltcoats, KA21 5JT, and includes the company number SC084131. Quite frankly, I've never encountered this before, so I decided to block the number without any hesitation!

I've received several calls and messages from this number, and I suspect it's linked to a debt recovery scam. It appears to be associated with Wescot Debt Collection, which operates out of Scotland.

I keep receiving messages and calls from this number that's incessantly asking for someone named "Steve Luck." I followed their instructions and pressed 2 to indicate I'm not this Steve fellow, yet all I get in return is an automated response requesting I ask him to ring them back on some number or other. It's becoming quite tiresome, as I've sent several replies clarifying that they've dialled the wrong person. My most recent text was rather blunt: "I'm not Steve Luck, you muppets!"

I received a text stating "call me urgently" along with a phone number and an address. Honestly, if it were truly pressing, they would have picked up the phone rather than sending a message. It’s pretty clear this is just another cold call.
