Just to add to what I mentioned about my letterbox being glued shut - luckily, the postman had already dropped off the letter confirming someone had opened a fake account in my name. I've reported it to the police after spotting the bloke messing with the letterbox. They advised me to use [#]noddle[###], a free website where you can check if anyone has done credit searches using your details. Turns out, there were a few tries recorded. I'd suggest having a look yourself and you could even confirm the website’s legit with the police if you’re unsure.

I don't know if my earlier posts showed up, but some folks were mentioning this number might be linked to identity theft and messing with bank accounts. Not long after I got a call from it, where I just said my name and address were right but didn't share any card info, we ended up having identity theft problems ourselves. Strange thing, they even stuck my letterbox shut.

This keeps happening so often, there’s got to be some way to put an end to it. Has anyone checked if the TPS is aware of what's going on?

Got a call off some Indian bloke saying he's with the TPS. Kept trying to get me to chat, but I told him it was a work line, so just pass a message on. He insisted they had my number because they’re supposedly my TPS service. I kept questioning him till I had enough and just ended the call.

A man called saying he represented some kind of international Telephone Preference Scheme. When I asked a few questions, he got really rude very fast. I told him it sounded like a scam, and he actually threatened me, saying I'd be bombarded with nuisance calls and there was nothing I could do. I mentioned reporting him to Ofcom, but then he claimed he was with Ofcom himself. He spoke with a strong Indian accent.

Got a call from a lady with an Indian accent, she said her name was Karen and claimed to be from TPS. She asked if my visa debit card, which she said expired this November, was correct. I didn’t really trust it, so I told her TPS is supposed to be free, why was she bothering me about my debit card? Then she just hung up on me. Sounds like another scam to me, honestly these things need to be cracked down on.

Got a call from a lady speaking with an Indian accent, and there was loads of background noise. She said she was calling from some telephone preference thing and asked if I got any unwanted calls. I just replied, "Yeah, like this one," then put the phone down sharpish. My hubby handled it differently though - he told them, "This is Holborn Police Station, let me check for you," and kept them hanging.

This number rang me as well, asking the usual stuff - my name, where I live, and if I pay my phone bill by direct debit. The bloke sounded Indian and claimed he was calling from the telephone preference service. When he started asking for my debit card info, I just hung up straight away. Makes me wonder how many folks might've actually handed over their details. It's scary to even think about! Why is there no way to crack down on this kind of thing?

Got a call from a guy speaking with a thick Indian accent who said he was ringing from the Telephone Preference Service. He already knew my name and asked if I'd been getting annoying calls, then tried to get me to verify my address - which he oddly already had. Didn’t feel right, so I just ended the call. Don’t have a clue how he got my details in the first place. These sorts of calls are way more annoying than your usual nuisance calls and really need to be put a stop to.

So, my husband answered a call from 01607418077 and the bloke on the other end was asking for me by my first name - guessing he knew I handle the bills. They kept trying to check if I was around and kept asking over and over if we’d been getting annoying calls lately. My husband just kept saying nope every time.

Had a call just like a few others here. They said my TPS registration was out of date and needed sorting. Oddly enough, they already had my name and address sorted out.

We received two calls from this number today, but both times it was just silence on the line-there was absolutely no response whatsoever. Quite baffling, really!

Someone rang my mum, who’s in her 80s, asking if she’d been getting any nuisance calls. He already knew her name and where she lived, then went on about how she pays her phone bill by direct debit. When he asked her to confirm her credit card info, she just hung up straight away.

Got a call from a bloke with an Indian accent, who oddly enough wanted my phone number even tho he had just rung me. He then asked if I pay my TV licence by direct debit and tried to get my debit card expiry date. That’s when I just ended the call and looked up the number on Google.

I received a rather persistent call from an Indian gentleman claiming to represent the BT Telephone Preference Service. He was probing about my credit card details, which raised my alarms. I decided to terminate the call promptly.

I got a call from an Indian bloke who wanted my name, but I gave him a fake one. He wouldn’t share any info with me though. Then he asked if it was sunny or raining here. I asked him what he wanted, but he just asked the same question again. When I asked which company he was calling from, he wouldn’t say a word. So, I just ended the call and hung up.

A woman with a Chinese accent rang me, asking me to verify my identity and other details. She seemed to know an awful lot, even mentioning that one of my bank cards expired back in 2017. She requested that I specify which card it was, but I decided to hang up. Shortly after, she called again, but I chose not to pick up this time. This all occurred on my home phone.

Got two calls from the same number today, both times they said they were from the TPS. It’s the same old trick they use all the time, and honestly, this sort of thing should be cracked down on.

I got a call from someone with an Indian accent who first asked for my name, but when I gave a wrong one, they refused to share any info. Then they randomly asked if it was sunny or raining here. When I asked what the whole thing was about, they just kept repeating the question about the weather. I also tried to find out which company they were representing, but they dodged that too. So I just said bye and hung up.

Got a call just before noon, around 11.58am, claiming they’d stop all unwanted calls but then asked me to verify a card number. Thing is, I’d already cancelled that card months ago after getting caught up in a scam from these folks pretending to be TPS. Felt a bit dodgy if you ask me.

Got a call from a guy with a strong Indian accent who claimed he was checking TPS records. He already knew my name and where I live, and kept pestering me about how I pay my phone bill. He didn’t seem to have any card details since he asked if I used the Post Office to pay. When I questioned why he needed that info and requested his contact number to call back, he got pushy and almost aggressive about it. The moment I asked for his phone number, he just hung up. This felt like harassment and honestly, these kinds of calls should be banned.

Got a call today and they were asking for my deceased partner. The moment I told them he wasn’t around, they just cut off. The line wasn’t very clear and the caller had a sort of accent that didn’t sound local. Definitely felt a bit off.

Got a call on my home phone from this number. They kept pressing me to verify my name, using an old surname my local council once used on a bill ages ago - I reckon they’ve sold that information around quite a bit. I told them I was on the caller preference list, but the caller insisted they were legit. I wasn’t having any of it and wouldn’t give in. The bloke got annoyed with me being so dodgy and just ended the call! He had a pretty strong Indian accent. Definitely not a call I needed to bother with. Best to just ignore or mess with them!

I received a call from a chap with a rather unusual accent, claiming to be affiliated with the telephone preference service. However, when I requested him to clarify what he had said, he abruptly hung up. I attempted to call back the number, but to my surprise, it was deemed unrecognised-even though it was the very number that 1471 indicated had reached out to me. It seems there’s some dubious activity afoot. Stay vigilant!

Never share your details with 01607418077. Got a call from a bloke claiming to be from TPS, telling me I had to re-register my number to stop spam calls. Bit rich, since he was the exact type of call I don’t want! He tried to get me to confirm my address, phone number and that my bills were paid by DD. When he started asking for my credit card info and the expiry date, I just said no way and hung up straight away.

They keep ringing non stop asking for the expiry date on my debit card!!! Didn't give it. So annoying how they won’t quit. When they asked if we get nuisance calls, I told them it’s from THEM!!!

Got a call from some bloke with an Indian accent saying he was from TPS. Then he started talking about changes from Inland Revenue and some Windows or Microsoft tech stuff. I just ended the call straight away. Why do these guys bother pretending? They should try proper work instead of ripping people off. It’s really disgusting.

Got a phone call from a bloke with an Indian accent, said he was from TPS. When I told him I thought he had my info wrong and that I’d prefer to just use the official TPS site, he snapped back saying I’d probably keep getting my bloody nuisance calls anyway. Seems like total scam to me.

Got a call from 01607418077, claiming to be from the TPS or something. A mate of mine had exactly the same call a few days back, so when this guy rang, I said I was recording the conversation. He kept asking why I didn't trust him, then I just told him to bugger off! If his English wasn’t great before, he sure learnt a bit sharper from that!

Somebody rang me up asking for my card’s expiry date and then wanted loads more details about it. Pretty sure it was a scam trying to get hold of my info to mess with my bank account.

Got a call on my home phone from this number earlier. Some guy with a thick Indian accent asked for me, but the moment he started butchering my name (as always), I just ended the call. Didn’t let him get to the reason for calling, but I’d bet money it was some nonsense about TPS, my bank info, or “tech support” rubbish. Best steer clear of it completely.

Got a call from some bloke with an Indian accent - total spam, so I've blocked the number already.
