01985217552 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01985217552 πŸ‘† is reported as a persistent nuisance involving fraudulent calls from individuals often claiming to represent a call-blocking or telephone preference service, frequently linked to a well-known provider. Callers request sensitive data such as bank card details, expiry dates, and personal information, sometimes exploiting known customer details. These contacts are typically made by callers with South Asian accents, and calls involve aggressive or deceptive tactics, including silent calls or repeated hang-ups. Vulnerable people, including elderly individuals, are notably targeted, causing distress. Despite efforts to report and block the numbers, the calls continue unabated, prompting calls for regulatory intervention. It is strongly advised not to engage, share personal information, and report such calls to official fraud authorities.

This 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.

Got 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.

Got 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!

Some 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.

Got 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!

Got 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.

I’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.

I 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!

This 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.

Got 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.

A 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.

Got 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.

Had 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! πŸ˜‚

I 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.

I 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.

This 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.

Scam 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.

Got 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!

A 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.

Just 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!

I 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.

I'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.
