Phone number ☎️ 01614948261 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving calls claiming people agreed to pay for educational or safety booklets for schools. Callers often mention past agreements that recipients do not recall, apply pressure to pay, and send dubious invoices. Some using similar names try to confuse recipients, and the amounts requested frequently change. Callers can be aggressive and sometimes hang up when challenged. Multiple people report repeated calls from different numbers even after blocking, with some describing the operation as well-organised and linked to previous known scams under different names. Many warn it targets small businesses and charities, giving a bad reputation to legitimate organisations. The calls typically come with threats or claims that booklets have been printed or delivered. Recipients report a lack of proper written confirmation or invoices.

6 yearsGot a call from them saying I supposedly agreed back in Feb 2020 to pay £200 for safety leaflets for secondary schools. I told them I had no memory of that conversation at all and that I wasn’t going to pay. They said they’d check their records and ring me back the following week.6 yearslike a few others mentioned, this felt totally dodgy. she kicked off the call by saying my name, then when i told her i hadn't talked to anyone about school safety pamphlets or anything, she suddenly claimed she was after someone else with a name like mine, even though she used my actual name right at the start. s####6 yearsdefinitely a scam. they claimed i’d signed up to support d#### awareness leaflets last feb last year (which i never did or heard about). i requested some info and an invoice to be sent over as it sounded fishy. what came through looked really dodgy and the “covid discount” if i paid that same day seemed off. they wanted £125 but dropped it to £110. no chance i’m handing over any cash to them!6 yearsI had a really unpleasant experience with Kelly and her coworker. They were quite aggressive, insisting I pay for invoices that turned out to be completely made up. Then, out of nowhere, they started saying the amount could be bargained down. Total scam. They’re really giving legitimate charities a bad reputation. Just a heads up, I reckon a lot of what you pay ends up funding these women’s salaries, not the charity they claim to work for. They kept telling me there was an agreement in place and that an invoice was on its way, but neither of those things were true.Kelly6 yearsSo, this strange private number got in touch with me the other day claiming I’d signed up to sponsor some school booklets or whatever. I told them to email me the info and an invoice but never got anything back. Now that number plus 02039368382 keep ringing me every single day. Had no choice but to block both numbers.Asa6 yearssomebody rang me up about an unpaid bill from june 2019 for some school books, but i told them i got scammed over this two years back and stopped dealing with it, then they just ended the call on me.6 yearsI run a small business and got two calls from ASA. After the initial call, they dropped their demand from £700 down to £500, telling me to pay straight away! They even sent an invoice and some sort of 'certificate of contribution' before I’d paid. When I said they sounded like scammers, they just hung up. The number was blocked on my caller ID (1471). Obviously, we never placed any order and didn’t pay a penny. It’s shocking that these rip-off callers are still allowed to operate.Asa6 yearsI just got a call pretty much like the one described above. I don’t remember ever saying yes to those awareness books, so I said no to paying on the spot. Now they’ve sent me a bill for £375 which I’m not planning to settle.7 yearsI just got scammed by what seemed like a legit company. I made a single payment and then got a call a few months later saying I owed more. Today I rang them back and they told me I still have five payments left. I was hesitant at first but they talked me into it, so I paid again. Feeling proper annoyed with myself now. Definitely not falling for that again.7 yearsIt’s just the same company using a different name, a complete rip-off. A while back my elderly mum got tricked by them. The original firm had to shut down, but clearly they just changed their name to carry on. Makes me sick that this is how they earn money, absolutely disgraceful. Our phone’s on the TPS list, but that doesn’t seem to stop them ringing non-stop. I blocked their number yesterday and guess what? They rang again today from another number. Never gonna pick up any calls from 0161 again.Telephone Preference Service7 yearsI got a call from Asa North West about some teen safety campaign they claimed was a huge success. I called them out saying it sounded fishy and a scam. The woman on the other end got defensive, saying my words were unkind, then just hung up on me. Sounds like they’re running a scam to me! I’ve reported them to the Information Commissioner’s Office and blocked the number straight away. Better safe than sorry!Information Commissioner7 yearsThese folks selling educational books just won't stop ringing me! I had to put my phone on answerphone all the time now. It started when I casually mentioned I was interested, then suddenly they said I’d ordered some books and owed £220 if paid that day, and they’d send the books to whichever school I chose. Next thing, I got a bill through the post saying what I paid was just a deposit. Honestly, feels like a huge rip-off.7 yearsi was about to pay but then found this page and realised i never made an order so no way am i paying.7 yearsIf you’re curious about 02030112175, you may wanna look into it more. When I was digging around that number, I found a firm claiming they supply phone numbers from all over the UK and offer call management too. On top of that, there was a different business that used to register limited companies for less than a tenner, plus a Covent Garden marketing address if you paid extra. Sounds a bit like Bee Safe’s address, right?UKCovent GardenBee Safe7 yearsJust got a call from this number on Monday and honestly, if you've had one too, you should definitely check out some of the warning posts about 02039368382. It’s a very slick scam operation, totally professional in how they run it. The authorities don’t seem to give much attention to them, but they’re wrecking a lot of small businesses out there. Keep flagging these calls and hopefully, one day they’ll put an end to these scams. The calls might come from different area codes, but it’s definitely the same group behind it all.7 yearsIt's odd how the lady who used to ring me up about the bee safe educational booklet con now seems to be representing the new ASA (Adolescence Safety Awareness). She’s got such a unique voice, you’d remember it. Back in February, I foolishly paid this bunch for their booklets, thinking it was still the bee safe group. They promised then that I wouldn’t have to pay again. Well, surprise surprise, they called me again on this number asking for more money. ASA only started up in November 2018, so there's no chance I knowingly agreed to buy any more booklets after that.ASAAdolescent Safety Awareness7 yearsi don't know who these lot are but it seems like just saying yes to anyone calling from an unknown number is risky now. they asked for me by name and when i said who was calling, they hung up. then another caller came through asking the same thing. could be some sales pitch or a scam, either way I’m not having any of it. i’ve gone ahead and got myself a call blocker.7 yearstoday i got two calls from this number, both from different people. i’ve just been tricked into buying so-called educational books, and now i’m smarter about scammers trying to get your personal info first. i asked each caller who they were but neither gave me a proper answer.Submit Your Own Report (0161 494 8261)
