01785290024 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01785290024 👆 is reported as a nuisance scam call mainly targeting the over-60s with false claims of police affiliation or local crime safety initiatives. Callers, often with well-spoken English accents, attempt to set up home security visits or promote emergency response services but hang up abruptly when pressed for details or questioned about their legitimacy. The calls frequently feature silence or automated "goodbye" messages, breaches of the Telephone Preference Service rules, and may originate from a Birmingham-based company. Call recipients advise blocking the number through phone services and warn against engagement, as the calls appear to be part of deceptive tactics possibly aiming to gather personal security information or push questionable contracts. Overall, caution is strongly recommended.

Can someone please stop that annoying “goodby” ring tune? It’s so irritating. Just block it already.

Pretty common stuff around here with scams, but I managed to get the company name this time. It’s First Contact Security Ltd from Birmingham, number 0121 201 3705. They try to hook sellers by promising 5% back on spending through the contract’s duration, so I reckon they might not always be the ones making the call. Still though, they hold the blame. They also seem to go after people over 60 using fear to push their sales.

Had a guy on the phone, posh English accent, was going on about some crime or emergency thing. When I asked questions, he just cut me off. I called the number back and all I got was some recorded tunes. I'm on the TPS, so this call was definitely against the rules, but who even do anything about it these days?

Got a call from someone claiming they were working with the police because crime had increased around here. They said they had teams around to check out properties and give advice. When I asked them who exactly they were so I could contact the actual police, they just hung up on me!

They claimed it was an emergency service, saying it was about keeping you safe, sounded like some police safety campaign, but it really isn’t.

A polite bloke rang me up asking if I was aware it was safety awareness week. The moment I mentioned if he was trying to sell me anything and told him I’m on the TPS, he quickly ended the call.

Just like loads of others, I saw "International" pop up on my phone. Didn’t even pick up. Tried to block it through BT 1572, but the number they confirmed sounded a bit different. Bit confusing!

Got a bloke calling about some emergency response thing. I kept saying no to setting up a slot for a visit, and then he just dropped the call on me.

A bloke with an English accent called asking for someone who moved out like 9 years ago. When I said that wasn’t them, he just said “Oh must be the wrong number” and then cut off. The caller ID showed it was flagged as “International” but there was no effort to check if I was right. No sales pitch or anything, just hung up straight away.

The phone just rang and as soon as I answered, the call dropped. Honestly, these folks are total losers.

Got a call from some bloke who sounded like he was working for a call centre. He asked if we’d been told about crime and emergency services around here. I said no. Then he tried to push using this security company that would link you to fire, ambulance and police. I asked why I’d bother when we have 999, and then he just ended the call. Seems like they might want to come round and "check" my house, probably a scam. Watch out for this one!

A friendly sounding lady rang me claiming to be from Homeguard Security. She said there had been a rise in burglaries nearby and offered to arrange for a male or female 'officer' to visit and check out my home. She even used my name. I asked if Homeguard was connected to the police and she replied no. I ended the call straight away.

Got loads of calls like this. Normally, when I pick up, there's a weird silence then someone starts yapping about safety stuff. The caller ID says 01785, but it’s definitely not from here - seems like an overseas line with a lag and rubbish sound quality. Pretty sure it’s a dodgy scam like others mentioned.
8 years
Got a ring from this number earlier - claimed to be some "Local safety awareness co-ordinator." Honestly, it makes me suspicious like they're just trying to suss out your security measures before maybe giving details to someone who could show up at your place when you're out.

It was just a lady's voice saying "Goodbye". Pretty sure it’s a trick to make you ring them back, and you end up paying for it, obviously!

Got a call from 01785290024 on 31st May 2018. All I heard was silence and then they just hung up saying ‘goodbye’. Proper annoying call!

Got a call from someone pushing a safety gadget for our neighbourhood. She said the company name was Homeguard. When I mentioned we’re on the TPS list, she claimed they don’t have to follow it since it’s about public safety. When I kept questioning, she said it’s all about protecting lives. I just ended the call.

I've had the same thing happen to me. You can stop the number bothering you by using BT's free call block service - just dial 1572 straight after you answer a call you don't want. Just listen to the voice prompts. They often ring back the next day with one digit different, but if you keep at it over a few days, the calls start to drop off. Also, if you don't answer these dodgy calls, whether you choose not to or you're not home, you might find the same number has called you up to 6 times in a single day when you check your missed calls!

Just had my time thrown away by these jokers as well, and I'm registered with the TPS too. The caller was a woman who really should be more aware. Seriously, how does someone with any self respect or ethics justify earning money by blatantly breaking the law like that?

Same here, just a quiet ring then cuts off after about five seconds with a recorded "goodbye". At least it's different from those overseas scammers who you can't really do anything about. From what I've heard, nuisance calls in the UK can actually get in trouble, especially if they're hitting up numbers registered with the Telephone Preference Service [#]tpsonline[###][###] to block marketing calls.

Got a call from a woman with a West Midlands accent about some "Emergency response" and "Safety awareness" schemes. She asked if I knew about them and if I'd been called before. The moment I asked where she got my details from, she just hung up. I'm on the TPS list.

Had pretty much the same thing happen to me. Got called by a bloke pushing some kind of "emergency assistance" programme that he claimed was backed by the local bobbies. When I tried asking for the company’s name and number, he just asked if I was actually interested in it. I said no, and then he wanted to know why I needed the info. I told him I was thinking of reporting him to the phone preference service, and he got proper narky and said I was threatening him. In the end, he just went "alright, have a good one" and hung up. So annoying!

Just had the exact same thing happen to me. I'm on the TPS list, yet got a call about a higher burglary risk in the area and that security staff would be visiting soon. Last time I told the bloke we were home all day and had CCTV, he just said "some people are impossible" and hung up. This time, I mentioned I'd already had a similar call and told her what happened, she apologised. When I asked for the company name, she said they were linked with the local police. I then asked for a contact number, and as you'd expect, she cut me off!

Pretty much like what others said, she used my first name which was a bit creepy. When I asked the woman what company she was calling from, she dodged the question. Then when I asked how they got my number, she just hung up on me. So annoying. I’ve also signed up to the TPS.

Got a call from a British woman saying she was with some government safety programme about crime in our neighbourhood, using our name. She wanted to set up a visit from their security team. As soon as I asked for the company's name so I could report them, she just ended the call. Registering on the Telephone Preference Service doesn’t seem to stop them at all.

Answered the phone just now - there was a pause then an automated message said 'bye' - so ive blocked the number now (like loads of people!) They really should find proper work - whenever I do manage to speak to a real person on these scam calls, I always tell them to sort themselves out and get a real job!! Along with a few other choice words!!

Got a call about the 'Safety Awareness Scheme' again. As soon as I mentioned I'd had the same call before, they just hung up on me. Seems like a dodgy scam trying to book fake appointments for some sort of 'security system' or the like.

why do these morons just not leave us alone and find a proper job instead of bothering decent people like me today, i picked up the phone, heard nothing for ages then someone just said bye and hung up

Got a call from 01785290024 claiming to be about a “safety awareness scheme”. The caller actually said my name and asked if I was aware of the scheme. When I mentioned our number was on the telephone preference service, he quickly said he would take us off his list and ended the call straight away. Bit dodgy if you ask me.
