01865988629 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01865988629 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance scam caller linked to unsolicited investment offers in fine wines, often promising high returns. The calls frequently involve silence or immediate hang-ups when answered, with some instances of callers asking for deceased or unknown family members. Despite being on the Telephone Preference Service, complaints describe aggressive and intrusive behaviour, including abusive remarks and pressure tactics. Attempts to clarify the caller’s identity reveal claims of marketing affiliations, though these are unverified and suspicious.

Regulatory action appears limited or ineffective, emphasising the need for caution and call blocking.

Got a call with no one saying a word, then they cut me off. I've gone and blocked the number now.

I picked up but no one spoke, then after around 20 seconds the call just dropped.

Just got a call at my mum's landline a little while ago. When I picked up, the person asked for my dad by his first name. I told them straight away that he’d died about 18 months back and asked who was speaking. They said “sorry about that, ma’am” and then ended the call pretty sharpish.

Got a call from 01865988629 earlier - definitely a wine scam, watch out!

Just rang my mum’s number a bit ago and picked up. The person on the other end was asking to speak with my dad using his name. I told them straight away that he’d died about a year and a half back, then asked who I was talking to. They quickly said sorry and dropped the call.

I've been getting calls from this number a few times each week when I’m not home. Today, I finally answered but stayed quiet, and then after a short pause, I heard the line go dead. I've blocked the number now and reported it to OFCOM because it seems like one of those silent calls.

AFM called me up trying to get me to put money into Fine Wines, claiming a 15 to 20 percent return. I just said I can beat that easily (which I can) and that was the end of that conversation. He didn’t have a clue what to say next.

This number seems to be a scam, no doubt about it.

Someone called for my husband, who passed away more than ten years ago. When I called them out on it, they just kept going, claiming to be from some marketing firm. With so many people complaining, I really don't get why these calls haven't been stopped yet!

I was hoping to chat with a long-gone acquaintance, yet I was told I had a recent conversation with them. Seems like some kind of promotional ploy, if you ask me. - Caller: Unknown

I’m on the telephone preference service but still get calls pushing investments in fine wines, saying they’ll give you 15 to 18 percent returns. The whole thing feels like a big joke with all these so-called government bodies - Information Commissioner’s Office, Trading Standards, Action Fraud, and even your local police. Feels like none of them really do anything about it.

Loads of people called about putting money into "premium wines". Totally rubbish if you ask me.

This number has rung me a few times before. Whenever I've tried ringing back, there's just complete silence on the other end. I've decided to block it now.

Got a call but nobody said a word. Pretty awkward.

Pretty sure it was the same number, and the caller said something like AFM. They asked if they were talking to my husband's first name. Since I’m a woman and had already answered, I said no and asked who was calling. Then the person asked again, “Is # free?” I said no and asked what it was regarding. The caller got a bit rude, saying, “So you’re telling me # isn’t available?” I just said yes and hung up. Hopefully I wasted their time as much as they wasted mine. Next time, I’m just gonna put them on hold and pretend to be searching and searching ‘til they give up.

When I asked him how he got the right to call me, he said it was because I joined some marketing thing. I told him I never agreed to anyone sharing my number or email, and asked nicely if he could take my number off their list. After that, I just hung up.

This number rang me twice back to back, and both times when I picked up, there was nothing but dead silence. Definitely not answering if they call again.

I get loads of cold calls from scammers, they really should just be stopped altogether. It’s annoying how often they keep ringing.

Had a rather unwelcome cold call today from someone trying to peddle wine investments, completely disregarding the Telephone Preference Service. The number was 01865 988629. Disappointing, to say the least!

The phone stopped ringing the moment I answered it. I have no clue who could be calling from Oxford.
