01985649918 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01985649918 👆 is reported as a persistent scam originating from a UK number using the BT area code. Callers pose as Telephone Preference Service (TPS) agents offering to stop nuisance calls for a fee, but their true aim is to obtain personal and bank details. Many victims have noted multiple calls daily, sometimes with no response or aggressive behaviour when challenged. The number often shows as unrecognised or international due to spoofing tactics. Official TPS are aware and investigating, advising to report the calls. Users express frustration at the inability to block or trace the number and warn others of the deceptive and harassing nature of these calls. The scam targets vulnerable individuals with convincing but false claims tied to telecom services.

Does anyone recognise the number 01985075695? It rang me today and I have no clue who it might be.

this number has rung me a few times today, it shows up as from abroad.

The tps know about this risky scam and they’re looking into it right now. The reason why nobody can find this number and why it shows up as unknown is because apparently these scammers have hacked into a uk dialling code, which is sadly quite common with these fraudsters. The best thing you can do is just hang up and then report it to tps through their website, either by filling in the online form or calling them directly.

Got these annoying calls all day from some bloke trying to help stop harassment, or so he said. Rang me three times, so I just blocked the number. Seemed like a total con to me.

This number rang me up four times just today. They claim to be some kind of telephone preference service promising to stop all unwanted calls, even from abroad, if you pay a one-off charge of £21.99. Funny, maybe they should block their own calls first!

This number kept ringing me up about four times this evening, saying they were from some telephone preference service and warning that "my account" was expiring the next day, and only they could prevent unwanted calls. They just kept yammering on, so I brought up GDPR and they quickly dropped the call :) Total rip-off, I’ll be switching over to the real TPS for my info soon.

Got 5 missed calls from this number today alone! Just saw an email from BT warning about scam calls - what’s the point if they aren’t cracking down harder? Why don’t they just block these numbers for good?

This landline number 0198649918 has rung me about five times today. The first call was about some sort of help with unwanted callers, but I just ended the call straight away. It really worried me they knew my name. Since then, I haven’t picked up, and after reading some comments, I’m really pleased I didn’t. What bugs me is that I tried to block the number, yet the calls keep coming through anyway.

This number, 01985 649918, rang me 4 times earlier today, but each time I picked up, there was nobody speaking. I tried ringing it back after checking 1471, but it just says unknown number. How is that even possible? Why don’t the phone providers do something about these creepy calls? It’s ridiculous that someone can keep ringing without showing their number. What if they don’t stop and keep it up all night? What’s one meant to do in that situation?

This is definitely a scam. They pretend to offer a free service to block annoying calls but really want your credit or debit card info. They say they’re from TPS but that’s not true at all. I called TPS myself after finding their number on the official site and they told me they know about this scam and are looking into it. Make sure you warn your friends and family about it, and share the number these scammers are using. When you report it to TPS, remember to call 1471 first to get the calling number, but expect the crooks to switch numbers eventually.

Got a call from someone claiming to be from TPS, but they actually wanted info from my debit card. They kept going on about needing the "direct debit reference numbers," but it was obvious they were just fishing for my bank account info. Total scam.

Had a couple of calls earlier but no one said a word, just background noise and some voices you could barely make out.

Got a call from someone claiming to be from TPS again, said they had a free call blocking service. Then they started asking for what sounded like my Visa card info? I asked why they’d need that if it was a free service and they just launched into some nonsense about how I pay my phone bill by direct debit. Seemed like a total ploy to get my bank details, so I just ended the call. Added the number to my block list straight away.

They called two times but as we didn’t know the number, we let it go to voicemail. When we checked, they had already hung up.

I had a rather unpleasant encounter with a chap who identified himself as being from the Telephone Preference Service. Despite my attempts to decline his offers, he became increasingly aggressive and, in a rather ungracious manner, eventually terminated the call. Quite off-putting, to say the least!

Got a call from someone with an Asian accent, asking for the person who apparently had my number about six years ago. I told them it was TPS and then just ended the call.

Been getting calls today from 01985 numbers, this one was 649918. Caller asked if I was bothered by nuisance calls, so I said they’re the only ones bothering me and just hung up. This is the second different one with the same 01985 code ringing me today. I’ve already reported it.

Got loads of calls from 01985649918 today. Normally I just don’t pick up if it’s a number I don’t know, but seeing it pop up a few times made me think it might be something worth answering. Turns out, probably best not to bother.
