01483537542 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01483537542 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance associated with scam calls, often involving foreign-accented individuals posing as representatives from official telephone preference or blocking services. Callers frequently attempt to extract personal or financial information, such as debit card expiry dates, under false pretences. The calls can be intrusive, targeting vulnerable individuals and sometimes using known personal details like names and addresses to seem credible. Genuine telephone preference services do not charge fees or request sensitive information. Many recipients advise caution, refusing to share personal details and reporting these suspicious calls to the official telephone preference service. The number is widely believed to be linked to fraudulent activity rather than any legitimate organisation.

Got a call from a number I didn’t recognise. Pretty sure it was someone unknown.

Since 7 January 21, there's been a steady stream of calls from men and women with foreign accents, never giving up. They've been ringing a vulnerable woman, luckily with carers who understand these aren't genuine calls and manage the situation.

it's really worrying how they got my full name, address and postcode. i told the woman i was going to report her to the police and she just put the phone down. honestly, the authorities should do more to stop these calls, especially since they target vulnerable people.

got a call from an asian lady asking for the old owner of our flat, whose name's still in the directory linked to our number. it was definitely a cold call. i've signed up with the telephone preference service, which costs nothing and lets you flag dodgy calls, texts or emails, especially ones that seem like scams.

I received a call from this number, and the connection was dreadful. The caller claimed to be from the BT preference service, offering to block unwanted calls. However, we’re already signed up for that service, and I know for certain that the legitimate version doesn’t come with any fees. Quite dubious, if you ask me!

I contacted BT's preference line to arrange blocking all nuisance calls for the duration of my days. Since I manage my payments through direct debit, I wanted to find out when my debit card would no longer be valid, as it seemed to have expired according to their records. I explained that they shouldn't need that information given that I pay by direct debit. However, the woman on the other end was adamant that she required the card's expiry date to connect it to my account. No matter how many times I repeated that it wasn't necessary, she kept pressing for the details. I firmly told her there was no chance of that happening and hung up.

I picked up the phone, but the line was silent. This week alone, I’ve now received three calls from a number based in Guildford. Seems pretty fishy to me; I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s some sort of scam.

I had a rather amusing encounter with a chap sporting an Indian accent, who asserted he hailed from some ‘call-blocking department’. It was clear he plucked my number from the directory since he addressed my partner using my name. He claimed to be situated on Margaret Street in London, but the code he provided pointed straight to Guildford in Surrey! I decided to engage him further, peppering him with queries like the purpose of his call and who my direct debit goes to (which he failed miserably at, given I'm not even with BT). It seemed as though he either grew tired of our little game or caught on to our ruse and abruptly ended the call. We've now taken up a new pastime: seeing just how long we can keep these con artists on the line. A proper lockdown delight! 😂😂😂
