9 yearsJust like the comment before, these people kept calling and texting my 86-year-old mother-in-law. They’re definitely not from Orange, just pushy telemarketers. She got really anxious thinking her phone line might get disconnected. Proper scumbags.Orange9 yearsI reckon it might be some mobile shop ringing up about a contract, cos my wife just got a text saying hers is about to finish. But I thought they'd call from an 0800 or maybe a 07 number, not a random one like that. Bit strange if you ask me.10 yearsLast month, I received a rather odd call from someone claiming to be from Carphone Warehouse, trying to push us into an upgrade. I made it clear that we're going through Orange directly. Fast forward to today, I got another call, this time from a rather rude gentleman who insisted he was from the “Despatch Department.” Despite our repeated inquiries about his affiliation with Orange, he refused to answer and just kept talking over us. When we pointed out that he clearly wasn’t with Orange, he had the audacity to call us obnoxious and uncooperative before abruptly hanging up. Quite the experience!Carphone WarehouseDespatch DepartmentOrange10 yearsReceived a staggering seven missed calls from this number today, and we had no clue who it belonged to, so we decided against answering at first. Curiosity got the better of us, and we thought it prudent to Google it - which led us straight to this site. So, when they tried their luck for the eighth time, we promptly told them where to stick it!Google10 yearsJust like everyone else who's commented, I had a similar experience. This chap called us a whopping seven times before we finally answered. He claimed we were entitled to a complimentary upgrade, which was quite puzzling since we'd only recently had an upgrade done ourselves. Curious, we asked for more details, but honestly, she just went off on a tangent that felt endless. After about fifteen seconds of her droning on, we had to cut in and say we weren’t interested at all. At that point, she got rather haughty and unpleasant, to the extent that we had to tell her she was dull, terrible at her job, and to basically shove off!11 yearsWe've received a fair few calls from these individuals, even though we've made it quite clear we don’t wish to be contacted anymore. The caller came across as rather confrontational, with a touch of sarcasm and a complete lack of politeness.11 yearsWhat a bunch of utterly insufferable individuals! They’re practically shoving it down our throats that we're foolish for not upgrading with Orange Direct, despite having made it crystal clear that we had no intention of using their services for our phone upgrade. The lady on the line claimed she was from BlueGoose, but we've noticed they seem to toss around all sorts of random names when they call us and our mates who’ve received the same sort of calls. It’s all rather dodgy, to say the least!Orange DirectBlueGoose11 yearsI just had a call from this number, and it turns out it belongs to a mobile phone dealer affiliated with Orange based in Manchester, operating under the name Dragonfly. To be honest, it was rather off-putting. Their approach was excessively forceful and quite confrontational. Definitely not a delightful experience!OrangeManchesterDragonfly11 yearsWe received a call from this number, but it was clear they'd mistakenly reached us, as we were unfamiliar with it. After that initial call, they went on to ring us an additional six times within the hour! All their attempts were completely disregarded, of course!11 yearsI recently found myself in a rather unpleasant conversation with a caller from this number. They claimed to be representing Orange and were eager to push an upgrade onto us. Despite politely stating multiple times that I would prefer to handle this online when I was ready, the caller's tone became increasingly aggressive, laced with sarcasm and rudeness. I had to firmly instruct them not to call again, to which they responded with an absurd comment about my attitude! Honestly, what a farce! Clearly, they’re up to no good. Just a heads up to everyone - steer clear of these chancers!11 yearsWe received a call from this number, and the caller was all about offering us an upgrade. They claimed our tariff was £30, which raised our eyebrows since we know it's actually £25. As soon as we mentioned we'd prefer to speak directly to Orange for any changes, they promptly hung up! It didn't stop there, though; they kept ringing back, insisting we were on a £30 plan. Honestly, it's quite infuriating! Just for the record, we absolutely detest these types of calls! 😂Orange11 yearsIt appears that this number is being quite bothersome to a lot of people. Honestly, I think it's best to just go ahead and block them.11 yearsThe salesman simply refused to accept our polite refusals, even after we made it abundantly clear how busy we were that day and our disinterest in any unsolicited offers. In the end, we had no choice but to tell them we were hanging up, which we promptly did. However, they called us back, completely disregarding our wish for no further communication.12 yearsWe've received a multitude of missed calls from this number, which prompted us to investigate it here. They rang again, and when we answered, we politely asked if we could decline their offer. No thank you, we aren't interested. The caller started to talk over us, so we reiterated our point, hoping for a bit more courtesy. Instead, she launched into an angry rant because we dared to reject their unsolicited sales pitch. Just to clarify, it was they who reached out to us-an unwelcome interruption during our dinner, while we’re trying to enjoy our holiday!12 yearsI recently received a call from the same number we discussed earlier. I calmly pointed out that we manage our account directly with Orange. The caller tried to argue that their associates were in touch with Orange, to which I asserted my awareness. I noted that we had just been in contact with Orange last week and confirmed our direct dealings with them. She attempted to cut me off mid-sentence and spoke to us in a rather condescending manner, as if we were utterly clueless. Once we requested that she remove our number from their records and cease any further calls, she abruptly hung up. A formal complaint to Orange is definitely on the cards.Orange12 yearsI’ve just been bombarded with calls from them, and it’s thrown up some serious red flags regarding identity theft. We pressed them about why they were sharing our date of birth, but they assured us it was all sorted. Now, however, we can’t seem to reach them at all, and I’m a bit on edge after agreeing to a complimentary upgrade. It feels like a waiting game now to see how this all unfolds. Strangely, Orange seems to be completely oblivious to the entire situation.Orange12 yearsWe're feeling rather unwell at the moment. We just spent ages on the phone with Carphone Warehouse and Orange regarding our elusive phone upgrade! Naturally, the representatives have no record of our situation whatsoever. In a bid to find some answers, we sifted through our call logs and came across this number. Reaching out to Orange about it resulted in them brushing us off; they claim it’s not their issue. As for contacting the staff member at Carphone who was aiding us, that’s impossible since their call centre is far too large to direct us back to the person handling our case. Do you think we should involve our bank? Could this potentially be a case of identity theft?Carphone Warehouse and OrangeOrangeCarphone12 yearsI've received numerous calls today from these callers, and they have been rather pushy. The moment we kept saying no to the orange upgrade, which we can't even access at the moment, they would just hang up without a second thought! Quite cheeky, impolite, and really quite forward. The name of the company struck me as more akin to Blue Ghost, which is rather peculiar.BlueGhostSubmit Your Own Report (0161 274 1318)
