0197841254 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 0197841254 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance and scam caller frequently targeting individuals with false claims about loans and PPI refunds. The caller, often an Asian male with a poor English accent using various English names, repeatedly harasses recipients, demanding personal and banking details, and becomes abusive when challenged or refused. Many report multiple daily calls, including rude language and threats, with attempts to exploit vulnerable people. The number appears to be spoofed, making it untraceable and unresponsive to callbacks. Despite registration with the Telephone Preference Service, calls continue unabated. Users are advised to ignore, block, and report the number to relevant authorities, avoiding giving any personal information and not engaging with the caller to prevent further harassment or potential fraud.

Got three calls from this number today. The bloke on the line had a thick Asian accent and I could barely follow what he was saying. He claimed I was due £1800, but I have no clue from where. When I asked him to send a cheque to the address he gave me, he started asking if I was bankrupt and wanted my bank details to transfer the money (as if I’d fall for that). In the end, I told him to either post the cheque or keep the cash. He said he’d donate it to charity instead, I said fair enough, and he just hung up. Hopefully they’ve taken the hint and will stop calling me now.

Some bloke rang me up asking for me by name. Said he was gonna send me £1500 back, some refund on a loan from 2006. I wish that was true! Like he knows about the time limits on debt claims! I just ended the call. The number 1471 showed "unknown number," so how are they even ringing if you can’t call back? Seriously, BT or whoever’s in charge, sort it out. These calls must be coming from a local exchange here in the UK, right?

Got a call from a guy with an Asian accent claiming I was due a PPI refund. I kept asking for the firm’s name and address, but he just stuck to his script, so I hung up. Lately I’ve been getting loads of calls each day, and I reckon it’s because EMCAS, who I managed to get to quit pestering me, might have passed my info on. The timing fits, as these new calls kicked off right after EMCAS stopped.

Got a call from an Asian bloke calling himself David Wilson, claiming I was supposed to get £2000 from a loan with my bank. He kept pressing about which bank I was with, but I told him I don’t have one. He wouldn’t stop, so I just hung up. Then he called back asking why I cut the call. I asked him to say his name and company again, which he did, and I told him nicely I’d report him to the police. He hung up. Had loads of calls like this before and after, really annoying and harassing.

Had a call today from this Asian guy who spoke really bad English and kept asking for my wife by her name. I told him I needed the account password first. He said he didn't know any password. Then he tried asking for my wife again. I asked for the password once more and you could tell he got proper annoyed. I just laughed and said, "No mate, that’s definitely not the password." Next thing, he ended the call pretty abruptly. Absolutely hilarious 😂😂😂

TOTAL SCAMMER/S. SPOKE WITH AN ASIAN-SOUNDING VOICE WHO SAID HE WAS ENGLISH AND CALLED HIMSELF ALFRED. HE CLAIMED TO BE FROM A COMPANY NAMED "NATIONALISED REFUNDS". WHEN I TOLD HIM I’D BILL HIM FOR EVERY MINUTE ON THE PHONE AND WOULD SUE HIS FIRM, HE CALLED ME A BLOODY IDIOT AND TOLD ME TO F**K OFF BEFORE HANGING UP. REALLY HOPE THE AUTHORITIES CATCH HIM SOON.

Scam alert - got a call from a bloke with an Asian accent claiming I was owed £2000 from PPI on some loan from 2002. Played along for a bit, then when he asked for my bank info, I told him since he’s got my name and address, just send me a cheque instead. Of course, he hung up straight away.

Just a tip from me - I've noticed that being nice and playing along just a bit, while clearly not sharing anything new, usually makes them lose interest and leave me alone. So far, no one’s been rude or called back, apart from the odd genuine British firm that’s a bit disorganised! Whenever it's a real company, I always report them to the TPS or ICO.

A really courteous bloke with an Indian accent rang me up, asking if I recalled my PPI claim being sorted (about as likely as me winning the lotto without even buying a ticket!), saying I was meant to receive £1200 from the bank. Then he asked me to grab some paper and a pen, and once I had them, he wanted to know which bank I’d used the most over the past five years. I told him I wasn’t quite sure and needed to check, so after a bit of messing about, he just ended the call.

A woman phoned and asked for me by name, saying I supposedly had a loan from Lloyds Bank from about 5 years ago and was owed some PPI refund. I told her I've never had a loan with Lloyds, but she insisted maybe I’d forgotten and offered to get some money back for me. When I told her, "Let me guess, you want my bank details so you can nick my cash," she just hung up. Proper rude behaviour!

0197841254 - got a call from an asian bloke saying I had a personal loan from between 2005 and 2008 for £3000. I told him another firm sorted out my PPI claim and I only trust them to handle my stuff, no one else. He said the Lloyds claim was refused and his lot could get the money for me. I told him no thanks, I’ll stick with the company that’s already helped me fine, then ended the call. He rang straight back saying “madam don’t hang up on me.” I just told him to buzz off cos I’m sure it’s a dodgy call.

My mother-in-law keeps getting calls from an Asian man about some PPI thing. His English is really poor and rude, and as soon as she says she’s not interested, he starts getting aggressive and threatening. He never gives his name or the company’s info either. Doesn’t seem like a genuine person at all, probably just a scammer trying his luck.

Someone rang me today saying I took out a loan back in 2004 and owed PPI. When I told him I never had a loan, he kept insisting I did. He got really rude and started threatening to sue me. Yeah, good luck with that, mate. The worst part is, he actually knew where I lived.

The lady on the phone was talking with a really thick accent, sounded like she was from India or somewhere near there. I struggled to get what she was saying. She kept going on about some loan and PPI stuff but I told her I never took out any loan, no matter how many times. Then she started reading out my address, which was spot on, but the rest of her info was way off. Told her I had no idea how she got my details. Then she just ended the call without even saying sorry or anything. I kinda enjoy winding them up a bit since they’re the ones footing the bill for the call.

I had a really unpleasant experience with an Asian gentleman who got quite aggressive after I refused to reveal my identity, so I just ended the call. He then called back and said he'd keep calling until I gave him my details. I told him that wasn’t how things work and warned him not to threaten me. Later, he phoned again from a different number, 02038378973. This number is linked to a scam, as it had previously contacted my 90-year-old mother, telling her she’d won a load of fish and wanted to pick her up for a photo shoot. We reported that to the police straight away.

They ring me every single day and when I try to ask where they got my number from and if they can remove it from their list, they just end the call straight away.

Got a call asking for Mr (my surname), but since we get flooded with PPI and similar calls every day, I just hung up. He rang back straight away and asked again, so I asked which one he wanted. Then he started getting abusive, calling me a f##king idiot. I told him the same and hung up. After that, he rang me about 30 times in a row, shouting threats and swearing. Honestly, it’s just a nasty scammer number, nothing but trouble.

0197841254 called me around 11:10, asking for someone else. I told them they’d got the wrong number and hung up. If they try again asking for the same person, I’ll just repeat myself and hang up again. But if I see the number on my screen and know it’s dodgy, I just disconnect straight away without saying anything. I’ve got zero tolerance for these annoying scam callers.

Got a call from someone claiming I took a loan from Barclay’s Bank, which I supposedly paid off back in 2009, and that I was owed compensation for PPI. I told them I never had any loan with them. Then they just ended the call. The voice sounded like it was an Asian accent.

He asked for me by name and claimed I had some PPI from a loan way back in 2009. I told him fine, just post me a cheque then. After that, I just ended the call. Definitely a pest call coming from another country.

They keep ringin’ me up sayin’ I owe £9000 on credit cards, but I’ve never even had one! Told the bloke this and he started callin’ me a liar and got really rude, so I just hung up. Then this afternoon I got two more calls, picked up one and a woman asked for a Mr by name. I said no one here by that name and asked what it was about, she just said it’s none of my business. Whenever I answer, they just hang up. It’s really getting on my nerves now.

Someone with an asian accent rang me on 01978 41254 today, and ive reported it to tps. I’d suggest others do the same to help stop these calls.

The person on the phone said my name, so I tried to turn the radio down to listen properly, but they had already hung up. Before this, someone called me saying I’d got a loan back in 2004 or something like that.

Got a call from an Indian lady who wouldn't take no for an answer, kept asking for my bank info and was talking about massive compensation. Seemed iffy to me straight away. Even after I hung up, she rang me back again. In the end, I had to be really blunt just to make her stop calling. Number was 01978 41254.

Just got another call 45 minutes after the one from 035609022. Same story as everyone else. They said I took a loan back in 2005 and paid it off in 2009 from BOS. The bloke wouldn’t believe me when I said I never had a loan and started giving me info to pass to his manager so they could send me a cheque. Blocked both numbers straight away.

Sounds like a right dodgy scammer. The number shows up as a 10 digit one, so no way to call back. The guy said I had a loan with Nationwide from 2005, paid off by 2009, and he was from the refund department. Claimed I got overcharged and owed money back. When I told him I never had that loan, he just hung up. Proper worry for older folks with cons like this going about their business. They’re just after bank info from vulnerable people, and I’m scared some will fall for it eventually. Total scumbags.

This number keeps ringing us non-stop and we've had to block loads of numbers already. They called on 8th October at 14:53. Then again several times on 9th October at 10:34, 12:39, 13:00, 14:28 and 15:14. On 12th October they got through at 12:00, 12:28, 15:16 and 18:07. More calls on the 13th October at 10:58, 13:59 and 14:38. It’s getting really annoying!

Got one of those PPI scams again. This guy with an Indian accent, calling himself John, phoned me and at the end he passed me onto something called Claims Advisory Group. They take nearly 40% of whatever they manage to get back for you. Seen this routine way too many times now.

Wow, this number keeps ringing me non stop the last few days. When I finally picked up, they said the same thing as everyone else here. Said I took a loan in 2005, paid it back by 2009, and now there’s £1,500 waiting to be returned to me.

Some bloke from Asia has rung me about 8 times using loads of different English names. He keeps insisting I got a loan back in 2005 and cleared it by 2009, which isn't true at all. When I told him it all sounded like a scam to get money from me, he just hung up on me.

Beware of scammers from Pakistan trying to trick you into giving bank details for a fake refund. They use the info to carry out other financial frauds like identity theft. Just block and don’t answer. Such dodgy scam artists!

Had a similar thing happen to me like what others said back in 9/10/15. Sounds dodgy to me cos he said the loan was in both my and my 'husbands' name, always callin me Mrs with his last name. Me and my partner have different surnames and only got together late 2005. Ended up hanging up but he kept ringing from the same number all afternoon, which I just ignored.

Some bloke called me saying I took out a loan back in 2005 and repaid it by 2009, then went on about me claiming some payment protection or sumthin. I told him I never had any loan, and he suddenly got quite nasty. I ended the call but a minute later he rang again, still banging on about a cheque for £1,500 waiting for me. I said, if you've got my details, why not just post the cheque? Then he just hung up on me. Weird encounter!

I got a call from this number back on 08/10/2015. The person asked for me by name and I said yes. Then he started talking about a loan I supposedly had with Barclays that I'd already paid off and that I could claim PPI. I told him I never had a loan with Barclays but he kept pushing, saying "don’t you want your money?" and that I was due about £1,500. I challenged him on this, and he passed me over to a guy with an English accent. The first caller had an Indian accent. I explained the same thing to the second person and he said if that’s the case, he couldn’t help me.

On 9th October 2015, this guy (from India) rang again so I handed the call to my partner who started grilling him. He asked what the company's name was, and the caller said it was PPI Reclaim Ltd. When asked if the company was officially registered at Companies House, he said yes. But as soon as we asked for the registration number, he just cut the call. I tried ringing that number back and got a message saying it’s no longer working. Seriously, watch out for these sorts of calls.

My mum and dad got a call about a loan just like the one mentioned, but they shut it down right away. So glad they didn't fall for that scam, these con artists are everywhere!

Someone rang saying I’d got a loan back in 2005 which I paid off in 2009 and that I could claim PPI. After a bit of back and forth, the bloke started shouting swear words at me and then just ended the call. Then the next day, the same person called again, and when I asked how they got my number, they just swore at me once more and disconnected.

Got a phone call from a bloke who claimed I’d taken a loan back in 2006, which is totally wrong because I’ve never had one. When I asked him for his company info, he just hung up on me. The guy spoke with an Asian accent. I checked the number with 1471 and it showed up as 0197841254.

Like the last couple of folks mentioned, I got a call from an Asian bloke claiming I was due 1,400 quid from a loan back in 2009. I told him I don’t recall taking any loan then he just ended the call on me. Judging by the line quality, this definitely wasn’t a UK number, sounded like it was from overseas. I’ve blocked that number already.
