Phone number ☎️ 02010256890 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number frequently impersonating the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) to gain personal and financial information.

Many report the caller possessing some personal data such as name, address, and phone number, adding to the deception. The calls are often aggressive or hang up when questioned, with no genuine organisation details provided. Numerous victims advise not to share any details, to hang up immediately, and to block the number. Users recommend reporting such calls to phone providers and Action Fraud. Use of call-blocking devices or services is effective in preventing these nuisance calls.

Got a call from some phone management company saying I needed to pay for a call blocking service. I told them I never signed up for anything like that (I'm on the TPS list anyway) and asked where they got the nerve to call me. Next thing, they just cut me off! Good riddance, must be another scam. I keep getting these annoying calls even though I’m on TPS.

Really concerning. The person on the phone spoke to my elderly mum for a good few minutes, pretending to be from the TPS and asking for credit card info. It was a bit hard to catch everything they said, but the caller was so insistent and smug you’d think they think it works sometimes. Makes me worry there’s some people who actually fall for it.

Got a caller from London claiming to be Telephone Preference Management, but the line was all crackly and breaking up. They asked if I’m still bothered by spam calls. Told them yeah, then just as I said that, I couldn’t hear a thing properly so I ended the call. Bit of a pain really.

Got a dodgy call claiming to be from my phone company, asking for my bank card info. Luckily, I’d recently watched one of those OWL watch videos about these scams, so I was on alert. I asked them to confirm some details about the provider first, but they totally messed up and couldn’t give the right info. Pretty obvious scam after that.

This number kept ringing me non-stop. I finally picked up on their third try today. They said they were with some kind of telephone preference thing and asked if I was still annoyed by unwanted calls. I told them straight up, you’re the real pain here, so just stop calling. Then they just hung up. I've blocked the number now but I’m sure the random calls won’t ever really stop.

Just got a ring from this number. Some bloke with an Asian accent said something about TPS and wanted to check up on me. When he started asking for my credit card info, I told him no way and ended the call sharpish.

I've had quite a few calls from this number recently. Today, an Asian guy said he was calling on behalf of TPS and asked me to verify my name, address, and credit card info. BE CAREFUL, IT'S A FRAUDSTER! Never share your personal or financial information with them. I'd recommend just ending the call straight away and alerting your phone company and Action Fraud so they can get this number shut down.

I’ve been receiving numerous calls from this number, and today I had the misfortune of speaking to an Asian gentleman who falsely claimed to represent the Telephone Preference Service. He insisted that I verify my name, address, and even my credit card information. It’s important to let everyone know that this is undoubtedly a scam! Please refrain from sharing any personal or financial details with these callers. My advice is to simply hang up and report the number to your telecom provider and Action Fraud. Taking these steps can help ensure the number gets shut down. Stay vigilant and protect your information!

Got a call from this number earlier on. The caller was an asian bloke who was accusing me of being involved in some terrorist activities. I told him to leave me alone and ended the call. Then he rang back asking why i ended the call so quickly. I just told him off and hung up again. Honestly, this sounds like a dodgy scam call, so watch out for it.

Just like others have said, I got a call asking me to confirm some personal information. I told them right away if they had my info already, then they were clearly scammers because the TPS would never ask for that kinda stuff. I wasn’t about to share any of my details with them.

I got a call from a guy who said he was from some Telephone Management Service, sounded Asian. He asked me to give my name, address and credit card info, which felt dodgy right away. Honestly, watch out because this is a total scam. Never share your personal or bank details with callers like that. I’d just tell you to hang up straight away and report the number to your phone company and also to Action Fraud. If enough people do that, they might shut down the number.

Got a call on 20/7/16 at 7:27pm and they actually already had our last name. When my wife tried to find out who they were calling from, they just hung up straight away. Without knowing that, we can’t report them to the TPS. Honestly, when will the government get a proper regulator to handle this? TPS, OFCOM and the Information Commissioner don’t seem to be doing much about it.

They keep calling, asking for someone I've no idea about. Even after I've explained they're dialling the wrong number, they don't seem to get it. Today I had enough and told the guy to remove me from their list as I don't know this person. The rude bloke just hung up on me! Got a bit annoyed and tried ringing back, but turns out the number's not even valid! Didn't realise it was some sort of scam at first but now I'm absolutely blocking it for good!

I use a BT Guardian phone and it blocks calls from anyone who doesn't say who they are right away. Every evening, we look at the list of calls that never made it through to our house and it's always a relief. Honestly, the BT Guardian is hands down the best gadget we've ever bought. We've had it for nearly a year now and not a single nuisance call has come through during that whole time!

Like others have said already, I told the bloke I wasn’t who he was after, yet he just hung up without saying anything. When I tried offering help, he just replies with a quick "No2". Pretty sus if you ask me. What puzzles me is how they manage to fake the number so it shows up on my caller ID, but when I ring back it just says “the number you have dialled is not recognised”.

Got two calls today from someone saying they’re TPS. When I asked if they were for real and if I still get annoying calls, they just went off on me with some pretty rude language and then cut me off. Safe to say, I don’t believe a word they said (big surprise there). I’ve blocked the number but doubt it’ll actually stop them. Their English sounded a bit dodgy, but the insults were spot on, which was quite amusing!

They called and asked for someone who wasn’t me, and as soon as I told them they’d got the wrong person, they hung up pretty fast. They did apologise for bothering me, which was a bit odd. I decided to look up the number just to be sure, and it turns out it’s linked to a scam. But weirdly, when I tried to ring back, it said the number wasn’t valid or something.

I had about 5 calls all during the same afternoon (my answerphone stays on to help screen annoying calls). Eventually, I got so irritated I picked up, and like others have said, they asked if I’ve been getting nuisance calls. When I said yes, he promised they’d stop starting the next day. That made me suspicious straight away because I can’t see why TPS would ring me out of the blue. Then he wanted me to verify my address, which was the moment I hung up and looked up the number.

Stupidly, I then used the same phone to contact my bank and ended up giving them my card info. Later, I found out about scams where they don’t hang up properly - they stay on the line and listen while you give details to the “bank”! It really freaked me out, especially as they already had some of my card info. Had to get my card blocked immediately!

Got a call earlier today, sounded like one of those TPS people trying to verify info. The caller muddled up my last name and first name and spoke with a really strong Asian accent. Next thing, they asked for my bank details which I obviously refused. Then they tried to give me a different number to ring back to "confirm" the call was legit. I just ended the call straight away. From what I know, TPS never asks for money or bank stuff. I've already flagged this up to TPS and Trading Standards.
