01707819534 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01707819534 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance call linked to various scams including driveway offers, solar panel promotions, and false tax rebate claims. Callers often use different numbers, remain silent upon answering, or disconnect abruptly, leaving no message. They frequently employ scripted sales pitches from fictitious representatives named "John" or "Alex," aiming to elicit personal information or commitments. Many victims highlight the ineffectiveness of the Telephone Preference Service in blocking these calls. The calls are characterised by frequent callbacks, silence, or sudden hang-ups when answered. Victims are advised to block the number, refrain from engaging, and report every scam attempt to official police fraud agencies, such as Action Fraud, to aid in combating these increasingly common fraudulent activities.

Got a call on my landline from someone going on about solar panels, but I just ended the call straight away. I only bother picking up if they know me by name, which this lot didn’t. I thought being on the Telephone Preference Service would stop this sorta thing, but obviously it’s not much use at all.

Got a call from someone named Alex claiming to be with renewable energy. He said I was one of four people nearby who could get a discount on solar panels. But he rang my mobile - how did he even know my location? I told him he sounded like he was just reading a script, which seemed to throw him off a bit. Pretty clear it was a scam if you ask me.

Got a call from some bloke named Steve claiming he was from the 'Solar Centre'. He said they were doing a marketing drive nearby and would give a deal on solar panels and fitting if we took part. When he asked if I was interested, I said no and told him not to call back. Pretty sure he would've asked for personal info if I kept chatting. After hanging up, I dialled 1471 and that was the number that showed up.

Got two calls from 01707819534, both times it was about some driveway stuff. Then, weirdly, I also got a couple of calls claiming £500 was withdrawn from my bank. It's just awful how they target people who might not be able to protect themselves. Proper scummy behaviour.

This number 01707 819534 keeps calling me over and over throughout the day. I usually let my answer machine pick up, but there’s never any message. I checked the number with 1471. I’m planning to contact my landline provider once more to see if they can help me block these annoying calls. Since I’ve been caught out by scams before, I don’t bother picking up. If it’s something urgent, they can leave a voicemail.

I had a ring from someone called Alex from Solar Centre. Every time I asked him for the full company name, he dodged the question and just kept going back to his sales patter. After pressing him a few times for a legitimate company name so I could report them, he just abruptly ended the call. Honestly, registering with the Telephone Preference Service feels pointless. You can't even report scam calls properly because TPS demand full details like company name, phone number, address, and website. Might as well forget it.

Had two scam calls in just five minutes! The caller hung up after I let it go to voicemail. Now I've blocked the number. It’s frustrating because BT won’t take our number off the phone book, even though we’re ex-directory and signed up with the TPS. Been battling with them about this for ages.

Loads of reports popping up in the past couple of hours say it all really. There’s a bunch of possible scams coming from that one number, all different ones too. Makes it pretty clear what’s happening. Got called by 3 separate scammy numbers today, each rang me like 3 times but left no messages. Like most of us, if I don’t get a voicemail from a number I don’t know, then it’s probably nothing to bother with.

Got a call from someone named Alex, who claimed to be from the Solar Centre. He spoke just like John from the Driveway Centre did before, offering a no-cost survey and a discount on installation. Apparently, they’re making a brochure featuring “satisfied clients”, quite like the Driveway Centre used to do. I told him I’d already had my home checked and solar panels aren’t an option for me. Also mentioned that I’m on the TPS list, so technically he shouldn’t be ringing me up at all.
