9 yearsGot a call where no one spoke when I answered. Tried ringing back but the number didn't come up or connect at all. Weird one.9 yearsThat Sc###horpe number is such a scam, honestly. Just don’t pick up when it rings, it’s better to ignore it completely.9 yearsGot a call on my mobile from an unknown number out of the blue.9 yearsI got a call with a recorded message telling me I could be missing out because of some accident or something.9 yearsI picked up and heard a message, sounded like an automated voice in English, saying something about missing out on compensation from an accident claim. Pretty dodgy if you ask me.9 yearsI really wish these folks would just head back to their own country. Would make life so much easier for everyone, to be honest.9 years01724786379 (Sc***horpe, England) - The incessant cold calls from this number are baffling and downright infuriating. These individuals, who clearly masquerade as representatives from reputable organisations like Sky, TalkTalk, or even the Telephone Preference Service (TPS), display a complete absence of ethics or remorse. The scammers, with their discernibly Asian accents, attempt to extract bank card information with an underhanded scheme. When they inevitably fail to get what they want, they resort to using crude language, which is quite uncalled for. In the UK, we have an Acceptable Use Policy that governs telecommunication services; if consumers are obliged to adhere to this policy, why on earth are phone providers allowing these unscrupulous charlatans to harass and cause distress to countless individuals? The whole situation is utterly unacceptable!EnglandSkyTalkTalkTelephone Preference ServiceTPSUK9 yearsThey ring my number daily but I always ignore it since they don’t bother leaving a voicemail or anything.9 yearsGot a call from an Asian bloke asking for my missus, claimed he was ringing from Sky. I told him I’m her husband and he can chat with me instead. Then he asked if we got Sky for our TV. I told him if he was really from Sky, he’d already know that. He then told me, “That’s why I wanted to speak to her. Now jog on, just jog on,” and slammed the phone down.Sky9 yearskept ringin me up sayin they were Talk Talk, but it felt dodgy.TalkTalk9 yearsSomeone called me about an accident that supposedly took place at my home, but that never happened. I just told them there was no accident and then ended the call. Be careful though, because if you've got a claim going on, these calls might try to squeeze info out of you.9 yearsAt 9:34 this morning, this number rang us up and a woman with what sounded like an Indian accent started talking about our internet service. But the moment I asked her "What internet service exactly?" she just hung up.9 yearsGot a call from a lady with an Asian accent saying she was from TPS. She wanted my credit card expiry date, but I told her I never share that kind of info on the phone. I asked her to send a letter instead, and then she just hung up on me.TPS9 yearsThis idiot needs reporting for being a complete nuisance and possibly scamming people.9 yearsGot calls from this number several times yesterday and even more today. Some Asian lady said she was from the TPS, but I just told her that’s not true and ended the call. Definitely seems like a scam to me.TPS9 yearsTwice now, this number 01724786379 has been ringing me, once on Monday and then again Tuesday at about 5.30pm. When I picked up, there was nobody there which is pretty frustrating. Honestly, I'm just waiting for them to ring again so I can give them a proper telling off.9 yearsMy phone buzzed and I picked up but stayed silent. After about 10 seconds of silence, a guy with an Asian accent spoke up, asking if he’d reached (used my real name). I asked who he was, and he said his name was Kevin. Then he asked again if he was talking to Mr J. When I repeated my question, he just hung up. Pretty weird! [email protected] :)Kevin9 yearsI just received a rather peculiar call from an individual claiming to represent the TPS, insisting that if I verified my address, all unwanted calls would cease. Naturally, I wasn't going to divulge any details and asked them to repeat both their name and the number they were calling from. Unsurprisingly, they hung up without another word!TPS9 yearsGot a call earlier from a private number, but the person hung up right after I said hi. Then, not long after, I picked up a call from 01724 786379, from Sc###horpe, and they just ended it straight away. Looks like loads of us are getting hit with these calls today! They’re really persistent, aren’t they? Luckily, I’m not giving them any info! I feel bad for the people who got treated badly though - that’s just not on.9 yearsGot a call from a woman speaking with a strong Asian accent, claiming she was from the Telephone Preference Service. She tried to get me to confirm my name and address, promising no more annoying calls in future. But just a day later, my phone rang again. When I answered, it just clicked straight to a dead tone. I hung up right away - if I’d stayed on, who knows what sort of charges I’d have ended up with. Absolute thieves, the lot of them!9 yearsGot a call from 01724786379 saying there was some weird stuff going on with my computer. Didn’t let them get a word in after that because it sounded like a right scam to me. Just a heads up, don’t share any info with these sorts of calls!9 yearsGot a call about life insurance, and I mentioned I was in Zante and didn't have any. He then went on to call me a stupid f****** lady! Really rude!Zante9 yearsI've received calls from this number that ring briefly and then cut off as soon as I pick up. Once, they claimed to be BT wanting to discuss my contract, and another time, they quizzed me about my washing machine. It's rather amusing now because I've started replying in Welsh; they just don’t understand and keep parroting the same lines before hanging up! On other occasions, I’ve had my dog let out a good bark into the phone-quite the entertainment! I need to answer these calls since my phone doesn't show caller ID, but I've decided it’s about time for an upgrade. Note to self: get a new phone soon!BT9 yearsI received a call from a woman claiming to be from BT, using the same tired storyline about issues with junk files cluttering up my computer due to the web. It’s quite disheartening to think that some individuals still fall for these tricks. One would hope that one day, phone networks could fully block numbers flagged as scammers by resources like this site. Interestingly, this woman mentioned she had been with BT for five years working in central London, yet she was utterly unaware of the nearby Tube station, St Paul’s, as she took a taxi to work each day. Furthermore, when I questioned her credentials, it came to light that she was just 18 years old and claimed to have been working there since she was 13, which is blatantly illegal in the UK. She promptly ended the call once I pointed this out.BTLondonTubeSt Paul ’ sUK9 yearsI received a call from an Asian chap claiming to represent my internet service provider, TalkTalk - though that’s not who I’m signed up with. He claimed that I had some dodgy downloads that could wreak havoc on my computer. When I pressed him for the location of his office, he seemed taken aback, eventually stating it was on Victoria Street in London. However, when I inquired about the postcode, he stumbled and mentioned he was new there, and couldn’t provide it. As I pushed for a proper contact number, he gave me something vague like 188188, but when I pressed him for a full number with the area code, he just hung up. Clearly a scammer, considering he wanted remote access to my device.TalkTalkVictoria StreetLondon9 yearsI’m quite relieved I took the time to browse through some other remarks. I’ve gone ahead and blocked that number. It’s baffling that TPS isn’t doing its job-I'm utterly fed up with these incessant calls. I can’t seem to catch a break!TPS9 yearsThis bloke claimed to be with the Telephone Preference Service and strange enough, he had my address and which bank I use. He asked for my account details, saying it was to check something under the Data Protection Act. I hung up on him but he rang me again from some unknown number with a different area code. Just a heads up - if they know your bank, they probably already have the first bits of your sorting code and debit card. They’re just after the rest of the numbers, so watch out!Telephone Preference Service9 yearsI got two calls back to back from 01724786379 but didn’t pick up. Out of curiosity, I looked up the area code and it’s from Sc###horpe, though I have no idea where that actually is and have no connection to it whatsoever. This was just the final straw after loads of irritating calls from the subcontinent and other places abroad. I’ve gone and disconnected my landline just to have some peace and quiet. From now on, I’m only going to answer calls on my mobile since it’s better at handling unwanted numbers.Scunthorpe9 yearsReceived a call today, 20th June 2017, from an Asian/Indian gentleman who claimed to be associated with "Windows." His approach was quite peculiar, throwing in some diversionary tactics like mentioning a window cleaner had just been by, which really threw me off. He then proceeded to inquire about the state of my computer’s windows-how did he even know I had one? I couldn't help but question whether he had somehow been watching me! I mentioned that I had noted down his details, eager to see these chaps face some sort of consequence, and suddenly, the line went silent!9 yearsClaiming to be someone from BT, a chap named Mike or Travis, became rather aggressive when I mentioned involving the police. He threateningly yelled that he wanted to do me in, saying he’d ‘rip my bloody head off'!BTMikeTravis9 yearsI got two calls really close together from 01724786379 but I didn't pick up. I looked up the area code and it’s from Sc###horpe, a place I’ve got no connection with and don’t even know where it is! Honestly, this was just the final straw after loads of annoying calls from the subcontinent and other random countries. I’ve ended up disconnecting my landline just to get some calm. Now I’ll only be using my mobile for calls since it’s way better at handling those I don’t want to bother with.Scunthorpe9 yearsSeems to be an unwarranted call claiming to be from some "Department," but the line went dead.Department9 yearsi got a call from some guy called peter who said he could fix my pc if i just installed teamviewer (###). luckily, i didn't go along with it cos that way he'd have taken over my whole computer. watch out for this - they just wanna steal all your online money!PeterSubmit Your Own Report (01724 786379)
