01523457895

01523 110 584 phoned me, some Indian woman claiming to be from Sky, said there was a problem with my router. When I cut her off mid-script, she got flustered and just ended the call.

Got a call saying it was from Amazon, asking about an account I don't even have. The caller kept making weird noises like blowing air into the phone. When I told them I didn't want an account, they just kept pushing, asking for money. No account number or anything legit given. Total scam.

Got a call today from someone saying I’d taken a loan with Nat West, kept pushing like I had even though I kept saying I hadn’t. Then they asked if maybe it was a loan with another bank? Strange. I asked to speak to a manager to find out how they even got my number (I’m ex-directory). They said the manager was busy and would call me back, but I said I’d call them instead. When I asked for the company name, they said “National Refund Company” but wouldn’t give me a callback number and then just hung up on me. Pretty dodgy if you ask me.

A heads up: Don't bother chatting with anyone ringing from this number. It’s clear as day it’s a scam; the 01523 code isn’t real in the UK, so it’s definitely faked. There’s no use getting angry about why the caller isn’t in trouble legally. Any details you share about accounts, loans, amounts, payment dates, or whatever else, will be sold on to other scammers. The best move is to just tell them you don’t want to talk, hang up, and block or ignore any more calls from this number (or any other starting with the same code).

This number rings me at least a couple of times every day. They keep asking for a Katherine Jones, but I tell them they’ve got the wrong person. After that, they start swearing at me and sometimes make really offensive sexual remarks. I’ve told them I’m recording the calls and asked nicely to be removed from their list since I’m on the TPS, have never given permission, and I’m ex-directory. But it doesn’t seem to matter at all. It’s really distressing.

Got a really annoying call about some PPI on a loan I never took from a bank I’ve never even dealt with. They had my name wrong too, as you can tell, and then went on to swear at me for forgetting stuff and accused me of breaking the law by not giving them my bank details. Things are definitely looking up these days...

Got a call from this number wanting to talk to some Mr W**D****. I’m a woman, and when I asked who was calling, I just got this endless loop of nonsense, like a robot ignoring my questions about who they were and where they were from. I just hung up because if they weren’t interested in answering me, why should I bother listening? It’s so annoying! What really surprises me is that, since the number’s out there, nothing seems to be done by the authorities to stop it.

Got a call from this number claiming I took out a loan with Halifax back in 2005 and supposedly cleared it in 2009 - which is total rubbish as I never had that loan. Then they insisted on speaking to a manager to verify it, saying I’d get some PPI money back. They were really pushy, I can see how this could fool a lot of people who might be more trusting. It’s honestly mad to think how they manage to sleep at night doing this!

Got a call from someone claiming I had a PIP refund from a Barclays loan. He kept talking over me and ignored when I mentioned I’m partially deaf. I asked him to send me the info in writing, but he just carried on rudely. Ended up hanging up and looked the number up on 1471, then tried calling back but the number wasn’t valid. Didn’t share any details, clearly just another scam.

That annoying Gupta, please stop calling and just head back to Slough already!

The person on the phone somehow had my name - how they got it I have no idea - but they butchered it so badly I couldn’t make out half of what they were saying. I told him his English was too poor for me to follow and he just hung up. My number is ex-directory, so it’s clear someone’s leaked my details and sold them on. Since the caller’s number is a UK landline, I’m surprised no one’s done anything legal about it yet.

I just hang up on those marketing calls straight away, telling them 'I'm not interested, remove me from your list and stop calling, it's a total waste of time'. Honestly, these calls are such a pain!

Had the same thing, some cocky bloke with an Asian accent calling himself Michael, claiming I’d overpaid a loan from Barclays. Asked him where he even got my private number and told him I’m on the TPS, but he just kept butting in and wouldn’t listen. This was the fourth time he rang in a week, so I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number.

Got a call from this number saying I had overdue PPI from Lloyds Bank. I thought I’d humour them just to see how long they’d keep going - figured they wouldn’t be hassling someone’s granny for ages. When I finally called their bluff and refused to give my bank info, they threatened to come round and mess with my missus. Mad behaviour!

Just got back from holiday to a barrage of calls waiting. Total nightmare.

I’ve been getting calls from 01523457895, they keep telling me I borrowed £5,000 from Lloyds in 2005 and repaid it in 2009, which I know is not true. Then a different number, 01914067097, called me claiming to be from the claims department. Feels a bit dodgy to me.

I've got that BTW call blocker too and honestly, it's been a total lifesaver. Every so often, I take a look through the blocked calls just to make sure I haven't overlooked anything important, like a message from the doctor or hospital. It's crazy just how many unwanted calls it stops from coming through. Really top-notch stuff!

Got a call today from some Asian bloke saying I’m owed £980 in PPI compensation. He told me my loan was from 2005, which I found odd since I cleared it back in 2009, supposedly with Halifax. Tried calling the number back but it just wouldn’t go through.

Got a call from a bloke claiming I’d taken a loan back in 2005 that was settled in 2009 from a firm that’s now gone bust, with Lloyds TSB supposedly handling the PPI refunds. He said all I needed to do was let him put me through to his supervisor and they’d send the claim info by post. I refused and ended the call. Then the supervisor called back, telling me I had to remember the details or I'd lose the money. When I said I didn’t recall any such loan, he handed me back to the first guy, who then rudely told me to ‘f### off’ and called me an idiot. I just hung up after that.

Got a call about some refund from a PPI claim relating to a loan I supposedly had from 2005 to 2009. Problem is, I never took out any loan, so I told the lady to get lost! Then a bloke rings back, saying I overpaid, but when I asked what exactly, he seemed proper confused. Wasn't impressed at all, told him where to stick it!

I got a call off this number from some bloke who sounded really full of himself, said he worked for a pension advice firm. When I asked where he got my number, he actually said he nicked it! He seemed English to me. The number was 01523457895.

Got a ring from this number saying I could claim back some PPI cash. Told them I never took out any loans or credit cards, so no PPI for me, and that I’m not daft. Asked nicely for them to stop calling as I didn’t want to be impolite. I hung up, but no sooner did I put the phone down, the bloke called right back - so I guess I was a bit rude after all! Then he rang a third time, shouting some proper abuse at me, calling me all sorts of names. Lovely! I wouldn’t want his job, but I reckon I got under his skin, which made me smile a bit!

01523457895 kept ringing me over and over, telling me about some loan from 2005-2009 worth £4000 and that I was owed £1800. They barely speak proper English and just wouldn’t stop calling my house phone. I’m certain I don’t have any PPI claims with Lloyds TSB as I’ve never dealt with that bank at all.

Im so fed up with these kinds of calls... They just target people who are easy to trick.

I get these annoying calls almost every day, so today I finally picked up to tell them to quit ringing me. But as soon as I answered, this bloke started going on about a personal loan I supposedly had with Barclays back in 2005-2009 for £6000. I kept telling him I never had any loan, but he just wouldn't hear me out. In the end, I had to hang up because not only was he clueless, but his voice was really starting to get on my nerves. How do they even get hold of your number when it's not listed anywhere?

They keep calling me every day, saying I’m eligible for a refund. It’s really frustrating, so I usually just end the call straight away.

I’ve been getting about three calls every day from this number, all with the same tale about some £4500 loan from Lloyds between 2005 and 2009, saying I'm owed money back. It’s clearly a con, and these call centres ought to be blacklisted. The company running this scam should be fined a massive £200,000 and face charges. If they’re able to trace these scammers and block the calls, what on earth is the regulator doing about it?

This number has been ringing non stop, like every hour or so, and I’ve told the bloke on the phone that I’ve never had a loan, so there’s no PPI for me. The man’s got a thick accent and I can barely understand him. I’ve also said I’m on the TPS and that it’s obviously a scam. I even said I’d report them but they just won’t stop, calling me even if I don’t pick up. So frustrating!

This company keeps ringing me like 2 or 3 times daily saying ive got ppi to claim. I told them I already claimed and got paid for any ppi owed, but the caller just hangs up and rings back about an hour later. Then we gotta repeat the whole thing all over again, its really frustrating.

got a call from a woman today. could barely understand her, only caught something about money. her english was really bad.

Just like everyone else here, I got a call about supposedly overpaying a loan way back in 2005 and this guy said he'd sort my refund out! He keeps phoning me nonstop every single day.

They keep asking about a loan from around 2005 to 2009. If I dont say which bank, they claim its Lloyds tab. Get really rude if I dont play along. Honestly dunno what they want from it all.

Just got a call from a bloke with a really thick Indian accent saying I was due about £950 for some PPI claim. I told him I never had any loan, but he kept insisting that I did and claimed he had all my info. I asked for his name and who he worked for, ‘cause what he was saying didn’t add up. He said he was from the “UK Refunding Department.” When I asked where they were based, he had a hard time understanding and then said they weren’t really based anywhere, just a web company or something. I asked him for the loan details he said I took out - he mentioned it was a personal loan for £4,500 from AA Finance Co, linked somehow to Halifax bank, taken in 2005 and paid off in 2009. He was pushy and even started asking my age, so I cut the call off right there.

Caller spoke in some weird language about a loan from 2005. We have never taken out any loan. Proper frustrating!

Said they was calling from a PPI claims company, they ask ya a few questions and then pass ya on to a manager who repeats the same questions. Dunno what they’re really after, but it definitely isn’t about PPI.

Very impolite. Won’t respond when asked anything. Rang me a few times now. Just don’t pick up and block if you can!

Proper rude this lot, kept ringing nonstop and when I said whoever they wanted wasn’t here, they just hung up on me.

Got another call from some foreign guy, really hard to make out what he was saying. He was telling me I had some unpaid PPI money, but I've already claimed all mine so I wasn’t interested. I told him no and just ended the call. He’s called me like 8 times in a row to piss me off for hanging up. After I ignored each one, I checked the number using 1471 and it’s always the same, 01523457895. Ugh, proper annoying bloke!

Some bloke with an Asian accent keeps phoning me claiming I’m owed £1600 from Sky due to some overpayment. Thing is, I told him I’ve never had Sky in my name, it’s my partner’s account. Still, he won’t give up calling. It’s mad how these scammers keep at it. Why don’t the authorities step in and stop this? I worry someone less sharp or older could easily fall for their trickery. It really winds me up.

Just like loads of others have said, this bloke won’t stop ringin. Next time, I’m goin straight to Murphy, or maybe Murphy’s Knacker’s Yard, or even Mabel's dodgy place, speakin as the top boss!

For days now, this firm has kept ringing me non-stop. They just won't stop pestering. I've been polite, then a bit sharp, even left them hanging on the line, but they never give up. One time, I spoke to a man with an Asian accent and told him flat out I wasn’t interested and asked them to stop calling. He actually said he'd keep ringing, even if it means up to 100 times a day! My husband told him to piss off, and guess what? He then rang me back complaining that my husband was rude. I tried once more to say I didn’t want anything, but he just talked over me. So I hung up, only for him to call back straight away, accusing me of being rude. Blocking the number isn’t an option either because when I don’t pick up, they hide their number next time they call! This afternoon alone, it's midday and I’ve already had five calls. Yesterday was even worse, with at least ten! This is seriously out of order - it’s almost like I’m being stalked! I really don’t know what else to do.

They ring me up pretty much every single day, but when I ask who's calling, they just cut off. I tried ringing them back, but their number won't let calls come through. So annoying!

I keep getting calls from this number around six each evening. Every time, there's just silence on the line, no one saying a word. It'll be interesting to see what happens when they finally do try to speak now that I’m aware of who they might be.

Today I got a call from 01523457895 about some ppi on a loan I never even applied for. I kept asking him where he got my info and which loan he meant, but instead of answering, he just snapped at me to 'shut up’. Honestly, I’m still stunned at how rude he was.

Today, I got called 4 times by this number all within an hour, but every time there was nobody speaking on the other end. Really annoying!

This number kept ringing non-stop but I put call guardian on my phone this week and now they cant reach me at all!

Got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent for the second time today - he was going on about some 'refund', probably about PPI or something. I just ended the call straight away.

got a call on wed 23/9/15 about some ppi thing, told the bloke to do one and hung up the phone.

We’ve been receiving calls repeatedly from these individuals claiming that we’ve applied for a loan, but I can assure you, we haven’t done anything of the sort! It’s becoming rather tiresome, to say the least.

Struggled loads to get what this Indian bloke was saying, his accent was all over the place. He kept saying I was owed PPI, which I’m sure I’m not. Ended up hanging up cos he just wouldn’t listen when I said no.

This number kept ringing me several times today. Each time they called, the questions seemed to dig deeper, getting more specific. In the end, I just hung up because I’m pretty certain I never took any loans on the dates they mentioned. They even nudged me to fib to the next person in the line, who sounded like he was from around here. To top it off, they wanted to arrange a home visit - no chance of that happening!

Had a tough time figuring out what he was going on about, but it was something to do with PPI. He kept pushing and wouldn’t accept a no, so I just ended the call.

An older family member got a call from someone who sounded like they were from abroad, claiming she was owed money from a Government grant and needed her bank info to send it. Luckily, she’s pretty sharp and told him she was stuck in a wheelchair with a dodgy hip and couldn’t get the details right now. She managed to chat with him for about four minutes before he gave up and hung up. I’m certain he’ll be back though. It’s scary for those who aren’t as careful or experienced.

Just got a voicemail like the one mentioned earlier. The guy wouldn’t tell me where he was based, and even though I kept saying I was interested, I ended up having to cut the call short.

Had this woman shouting down the line in some kind of eastern accent, shouting my son's name like it was urgent or something. I told her I just couldn't catch what she was on about, honestly it was all a blur. It's so frustrating - these annoying calls keep coming and nothing seems to stop them. Weirdly, the phone line is registered in my name, not my son's, yet she was specifically asking for him. I think I heard the word 'national' somewhere in there, but it was too garbled to make sense of it properly.

My mum got a call from someone claiming she might be owed cash from a car loan from like 10 years ago. Problem is, she’s never even taken out a car loan before.

Got a call three times from a guy claiming he was with the government about some money owed, said he knew my parents' address and postcode, and mentioned a loan with TSB from 2003. He kept asking me to confirm the info but I told him no, he needed to talk to my parents. Then he started pushing me, saying my parents might miss out on some cheque if I didn’t help and it’d be too late by the time they returned. He’s ringing again on Friday, so I decided to look up the number and came across this!

I’m so over this number ringing my landline. It’s gotten to where I just ignore the house phone now, completely fed up with all these annoying spam calls.

Right after your call, he rang me up and I ended up having to cut him off.

Got some idiot on the phone claimin I had PPI on a loan I’ve never even taken out. Then the bloke goes on sayin it was my wife’s, cos she borrows from our joint account or summat. Total muppet.

Got a call from this number a couple of times today. When I picked up, a guy with a strong foreign accent started talking about loans, but I don’t have any. Just gonna ignore my landline for now, these annoying telemarketers are such a pain.

This number has called me a few times, so I decided to look it up online. Just as I was doing that, the same person rang me back. He was talking about some £900 but I couldn’t really understand him properly because of his thick accent. When I told him I was Googling his number and had been told to report it to the police, he immediately ended the call.

This number rang me up claiming I submitted a form to reinstate my loan insurance. Told them to stop calling because I don’t have any loan with them. Then the person on the phone raised their voice, insisting I did fill out the form. That’s definitely not true.

This number rang me again and I decided to pick up. Tried to catch what the person was saying but honestly, it was just nonsense. Asked them to say it again, but it was still rubbish. Ended up hanging up.

I got loads of calls from this number today. I stupidly picked up the first one, and the caller actually knew my name and mentioned something about £900, but I wasn’t sure what he was on about. I just hung up. We keep getting these annoying calls even though we’ve signed up to the preference service.

Got a call from a bloke with quite a thick foreign accent around 6.45pm. There was loads of noise like a crowded office behind him. I really couldn’t catch what he was rattling on about, but he did know my house number and postcode somehow. He mentioned something about a loan, though I’m not after one nor do I have any. I explained I’m just a painter sorting the decorating inside, since he didn’t seem to know who was living there. After a bit, he finally hung up and left me alone.
