Reports on phone number 01724786379
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 bloody lot would just take a hike and go back to their own country.9 years01724786379 (Scunthorpe, UK) - I’ve been getting calls from this number and it’s clear the people behind it are pretending to be from well-known companies like Sky, TalkTalk or even the TPS. These scam callers, who have an Asian accent, seem to have no shame at all. When they can’t trick you into giving your bank card info, they get rude and start swearing. There are rules about how companies should behave with phone and broadband users here, so why do network providers let these dodgy callers keep bothering and upsetting folks? It’s honestly quite frustrating.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 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from the TPS, saying if I gave them my address, I wouldn’t have to deal with more annoying calls. I refused to share any details and asked them to state their name and number again. As you’d expect, they hung up straight away.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 yearsThis number keeps calling me and then hanging up as soon as I pick up. When they finally did speak to me, it turned out to be BT talking about ending my contract. On a different day, they asked about my washing machine, which was odd. Now, I answer in Welsh, and it’s quite funny because they just keep going on and then drop the call. Another time, I let my dog go crazy barking down the phone - that was something! I have to pick up anyway since there’s no caller ID, but I really need to get a new phone soon.BT9 yearsGot a call from a woman claiming to be from BT, saying my computer was full of junk files and causing problems. It’s a shame how many people fall for these scams. Hopefully one day phone networks will block numbers flagged as fraud on sites like this. She said she’d been with BT in central London for five years, but oddly didn’t know the tube station near her office, like St Paul’s. Apparently she took a taxi every day. Another weird thing was when I pressed about her age - she claimed to have worked at BT since she was 13, but then hung up once I pointed out that’s illegal here in the UK. BT really need to sort this out.BTLondonTubeSt Paul ’ sUK9 yearsI got a call from a guy with an Asian accent claiming he was from TalkTalk, my “internet provider” - but actually, it isn’t. He told me I had some sort of dangerous and illegal download that’d mess up my computer. I asked him where he worked and he said Victoria Street, London, but when I asked for a postcode he said he was new and didn’t know. I also requested a proper phone number and all he gave was 188188, then when I pressed for a number with the area code, he quickly hung up. Definitely some scammer trying to get remote access to my PC.TalkTalkVictoria StreetLondon9 yearsI was lucky to be checking other comments before I got this call. I've gone ahead and blocked the number now. Why on earth doesn't the TPS stop them? I'm so fed up with these constant calls, never getting a moment of peace.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 yearsGot a call today, 20/06/17, from an Indian guy with an accent, said he was from Windows. There was a bit of hesitation before he spoke. When I mentioned the window cleaner had just left and asked how he knew, he dodged the question. Then he claimed he wanted to talk about the windows on my computer - seriously, how did he know I had one? Has he been snooping around my place? I told him I hoped he had my details because I was planning to get his lot banned. Then, bam, the line just cut off!9 yearsCalling himself Mike or Travis from BT, he got really angry when I said I’d report him to the cops and started threatening to 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 yearsGot a call from someone who claimed they were ringing from a "Department" but the line just dropped abruptly. Definitely seemed like an unsolicited call.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)
