Reports on phone number 01985217552
8 yearsThis is the second time I've been bothered by these scoundrels today, and both calls came from different numbers. Calling them anything nicer would be being polite. Some truly awful folks with no regard for decency whatsoever.8 yearsGot a call from a man with a Pakistani accent phoning my 83-year-old mum, claiming he was from BT and trying to get her bank card information. It really frightened her. This kind of thing must be put to an end immediately.BT8 yearsGot a call from an Asian lady warning me my phone would get blocked. I just told her to buzz off and then blocked her number straight away. Felt dodgy, like she was trying to scam me for some details. Better safe than sorry!8 yearsSome bloke said he was from TPS and kept going on about my visa card being about to expire soon. I told him it wasn’t true and he asked me to double check. I just ended the call there and then.TPS8 yearsI got a call from someone claiming to be with a service that stops nuisance calls. When I refused to give my address, they quickly got frustrated and just ended the call.8 yearsI answered, no one spoke but I could clearly hear voices chatting quietly in the background. Strange silent call.8 yearsI got a call from 01985 217552 claiming to be from the TPS, asking for my bank details. Didn’t trust it one bit and reported the number to Action Fraud straight away.TPSAction Fraud8 yearsNope, stayed quiet so far. I've just blocked the number now.8 yearsGot a call from this number, some guy with an Asian accent. I told them I’m blocking all spam calls now, including theirs. Then they started asking about my bank card - total scammers!8 yearsGot a call from an Asian woman asking for my husband, claiming she could help stop nuisance calls. I told her to count this one as a scam because I don't even have a husband! As soon as I said that, she just hung up. These scammers really need to be cracked down on.8 yearsI’ve had enough of this number constantly ringing me up with some Asian bloke on the line every single time. I tell them to stop but they just keep coming back. Can’t Ofcom do something about this? It’s so annoying. Even though it shows a UK number, I’m pretty sure it’s actually from overseas, so it should be possible to track it down.Ofcom8 yearsI just received a rather perplexing call from this number. The woman on the line was rather hard to follow, though it seemed she was jabbering on about some sort of call blocking situation. She pressed for the expiry date of our debit card and then went on to request the security code from the back. Oddly enough, she was already aware of which bank we were with. As the conversation turned rather intense, I eventually decided to hang up. Quite unsettling, to say the least!8 yearsThis lot keep ringing me but hang up straight away - proper cheats! It's so frustrating. Someone should really track them down, expose who they are, and put an end to their nonsense.8 yearsGot a call from an Asian bloke claiming to be with Preference Telephone Service, asking if we’d had any nuisance calls lately. Told him we’d had three, including his own. He reckoned there wouldn’t be any more today. He managed to give me an address, postcode and surname, which I reckon anyone could find in a phone book. But as soon as he realised I was messing about with him, he hung up. Gutted really - I was hoping to waste a bit more of his time. Still, they must be fooling some folks otherwise they wouldn’t keep ringing. Someone really ought to shut them down.8 yearsMy elderly neighbour, who’s 88 and lives by herself, has been receiving these relentless phone calls. It’s causing her a lot of distress and unease, which is truly unfortunate.8 yearsGot told to **** off, so I just blocked the number.8 yearsMy 88-year-old neighbour, who lives by herself, has been getting nonstop calls and it’s really stressing her out. She’s quite upset about the whole thing.8 yearsA guy named Michael kept ringing me trying to sell some so-called scam blocker phones. I told him I’m just renting the place and not the one who pays the bills, but he wouldn’t let up. I ended up chatting with him for well over two hours. He mentioned he’s from Future Nº 5 Phones and said he’d ring back once I managed to scrape together £120 from my pension, then he’d explain where to send the money.MichaelFuture NΒΊ 5 Phones8 yearsI picked up when this number called but they ended the call straight away.8 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Indian accent who called himself Michael. He claimed he wasn't selling anything but asked for my card info to supposedly stop nuisance calls. I hung up straight away. Then he rang back and I just let it go to voicemail, but no message was left. Seems dodgy to me, though weirdly he knew my name, address, and had an old expiry date from my bank card. Definitely felt like a scam.Michael8 yearsHad a call from a woman with an Asian accent, asking for my husband. I told her he wasn’t available, and she then went on about nuisance calls, totally missing my sarcasm when I said, “Oh, like this very call, then?” She then tried to get me to confirm my card details to stop the calls. I wasn’t having any of it and told her to politely ‘buzz off’, calling her a right scammer who deserves to be behind bars forever. Honestly, next time I won’t bother being so civil! π8 yearsI got a call from 01985217552, and all I heard was a beep that kinda sounded like a lady, then it went totally quiet before they just hung up. It felt a bit creepy, like something was off or maybe even threatening.8 yearsI received a dodgy call claiming my subscription had lapsed and that they’d happily renew it for me-all for free, they said! So, I decided to play along for a bit. As we chatted, it soon became clear they were not being upfront, as they started mentioning fees and insisted on getting my banking information. That’s when I put my foot down and mentioned that a quick search online revealed this number was linked to scams. He tried to argue, but I firmly told him to leave me alone and that I’d be reporting the number immediately.8 yearsThis number keeps ringing my phone every single day, so I decided to contact Virgin Media to see if they could block it. Turns out, they weren’t able to do anything about it, which was really frustrating. They only offered me the option to change my house number for free. I might have to go down that route at this rate. It's so annoying how these people are allowed to keep pestering regular folks with no consequences.Virgin Media8 yearsTotal scam, don’t trust it!8 yearsGot a call from 01985217552 and they were asking for my bank details, was a bit suspicious if you ask me.8 yearsScam alert with that call blocker! Do your best to steer clear of it. Honestly, it’s sickening that those crooks are the ones we're desperate to keep away from us! They’re just preying on the vulnerable and taking their cash. Makes me wonder how they can even sleep at night. Proper awful.8 yearsThis call blocker thing is such a scam, seriously stay clear of it. I can’t believe these folks get away with it, they honestly ought to feel terrible for what they’re doing πΏππΏ8 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be BT, said they were making sure I wasn't getting any annoying calls. Tried to pry for my name, address, all that, but I didn’t give them anything since I’m not even a BT customer. Total scam, no doubt about it!BT8 yearsGot a call from some dodgy folks asking for my bank info, seemed like a total scam to me.8 yearsGot a call from an Indian lady claiming she could stop all my annoying calls. I jokingly told her I actually liked getting those nuisance calls (which isn’t true). She was left speechless and just ended the call! Haha, made me laugh.8 yearsA bloke from abroad called asking if I was the owner of the house, using my initial and surname, like “Is this Mr J. Bloggs?” When I told him I wasn’t, he just ended the call straight away. Would’ve been a laugh to mess with him a bit more though.8 yearsJust looked up the number 01985217552 on a different platform. Apparently, this bunch is trying to sell a service that blocks nuisance calls. They ring at the most inconvenient times, hang up, and then a few weeks later they’re back on the line, peddling their phone blocking device. Whatever you do, steer clear of giving them your card information. It’s a total scam!8 yearsI got a call from a lady with a strong accent, she was really difficult to follow. She asked for my bank card info, saying she'd set up some kind of call blocker for me. Felt a bit off to me.8 yearsI'm worried these con artists might trick some vulnerable folks. It sounds daft to me, all this talk about paying your phone bill on time like it's connected to the TPS, but I guess some people could fall for it. Obviously, they're just after your credit card info.8 yearsThis is definitely a scam, so best to avoid any contact with them.8 yearsI got a call from a woman with a foreign accent talking about some call blocking service, but she just wouldn’t stop to hear me out. Eventually, I just ended the call.8 yearsGot a call from a guy named Albert, sounded Asian, trying to sell some call blocking thing. I just ended the call straight away.Albert8 yearsThey told me I wouldn’t get any more nuisance calls from now on because I pay my phone bill by direct debit, then they asked which credit card was about to expire. I just ended the call straight away.8 yearsGot a call from some bloke with a foreign accent trying to sell me a call blocking service. Seemed a bit dodgy to me.Submit Your Own Report (01985 217552)
