01782408799 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01782408799 👆 is reported as a number associated with Staffordshire police victim support or the Citizens Advice Bureau in Stoke-on-Trent, often contacting individuals after crime reports or for welfare check-ins. While generally legitimate, the calls can feel intrusive, with callers reluctant to disclose their organisation upfront and refusing incoming calls, which raises suspicion among recipients. Some have experienced silent voicemails or abrupt hang-ups. The inability to return calls and insistence on confidential handling of personal details causes frustration and doubt about authenticity. Despite this, the service aims to offer support for victims, including assistance with debt or mental health issues. Users are advised to verify independently before sharing information and remain cautious due to the call style and no-callback policy.

I got a call from someone claiming to be from a charity helping victims after an assault that had the police involved. Even though they seemed to know a bit about the case, when they started asking me for specifics about what the police were doing, it made me suspicious. Felt like they weren't really after helping me, just fishing for info.

I reached out to CAB North Staffs recently after a long wait for assistance. During the call, I inquired about the organisation the caller represented, but he was rather evasive and refused to disclose any details. This struck me as quite peculiar, prompting me to press him for clarity. Alas, he still couldn't provide an answer. Given the many unsolicited callers we encounter-whether they're chasing debts, parking fines, or peddling energy plans-I decided it was best to wish him a courteous farewell. It was only after doing some digging here that I remembered I had indeed reached out to CAB North Staffs in a moment of frustration just a week and a half earlier. What a pity that it takes such an age just to receive a response, and even then, they managed to create a scenario where there was seemingly “no assistance available”!

I happened to miss a call and when I attempted to return it, I got a message saying the line doesn’t accept incoming calls. Interestingly, I received a text message shortly after from something called victim gateway. I've had a few issues lately, so it’s quite odd that my phone is flagging this as a potential scam or fraudulent activity. What’s even more baffling is that they haven’t tried to get back to me either.

Good day, I am Jonathan from Pelsall, West Midlands. I would like to report a scam regarding the number 01782408799. I request that they refrain from contacting me again. If they continue to do so, I will involve the police in this matter.

Received a call from this number a moment ago, and the caller had the gall to ask if I was the person they were looking for, using my full name no less. When I inquired about who was on the line, the lady flatly refused to disclose any information, insisting it was 'confidential.' Positively curt if you ask me! Given that I've fallen prey to scams in the past, there's no way I'm giving any details to some random, incredibly impolite caller!

I received a call from this number, and they inquired about a specific name. When I asked who was on the line, they replied it was a confidential matter and refused to divulge their identity. It seems rather absurd, really. They won't tell me who they are unless I acknowledge that I’m the person they're seeking, which is a bit pointless, isn't it? I could easily say yes without being that individual, so it still raises questions about their own privacy protocols.

I recently received a call from the number 01782408799. When I picked up, there was no one on the line, but I could faintly hear two women chatting away in the background. After a few seconds of repeatedly saying "hello," I decided to hang up. I attempted to call the number back, but encountered the same issue-it turns out they’re not accepting incoming calls. Quite frustrating! 😤

At my workplace, I received a call from an unknown number. The person specifically asked for me by name, and the receptionist connected the call to my extension. However, when one of my colleagues answered the call, they refused to disclose their identity or the reason for calling. In fact, we explicitly instructed them not to contact us again and requested their removal from our records. Unfortunately, they disregarded this request and called us once more after an hour. This time, when I picked up the call, there was complete silence for around 20 seconds followed by them abruptly hanging up. At that point, we decided to block their number altogether.

I received a call from this number regarding my son, but the caller refused to disclose which company they represented. They claimed it was a matter of confidentiality and insisted that I verify my identity before they could share any further details. I wasn’t inclined to comply with that request. It’s baffling how revealing the name of their organisation could possibly compromise any confidentiality!

This number is completely safe and not associated with any scams or dangerous activities. It is related to the Citizens Advice Bureau and they are reaching out to provide assistance with debt problems and mental health issues. They consider these factors as significant contributors to people making poor decisions. Life holds more value than any monetary debt symbolized by coins or banknotes featuring the Queen's face. Thus, those who spread fear about this number are either misinformed or have dialed the wrong number. Additionally, there is no option for inbound calls as indicated, but I initially ignored it. Luckily, I did not act impulsively and accuse them of being scammers. In fact, they have been quite accurate in assessing benefit entitlements and ensuring retroactive payments.

When someone calls and asks for you specifically, it's only fair to ask them to identify themselves before confirming your name. But it's concerning when they refuse to provide any information about who they are or where they're calling from. What's even more unsettling is that their number cannot be called back as they do not accept incoming calls. This situation leaves me feeling unsure about the legitimacy of the caller, and their behaviour is quite disappointing.
