02030045597 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02030045597 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance caller falsely claiming affiliation with the genuine Telephone Preference Service (TPS). Numerous complainants describe silent calls that abruptly disconnect or hang up when answered, with no legitimate follow-up. Callers often pressure recipients into purchasing costly call-blocking devices or subscriptions, sometimes targeting vulnerable individuals, including the elderly. Many have experienced rude or threatening responses when challenging the calls or refusing to engage. Attempts to call back result in automated messages stating the number is not in service. The company behind these calls uses misleading names such as "Telecom Protection Service" and operates unscrupulously, exploiting the confusion around TPS to scam people. It is advised not to engage, not to provide personal or payment details, and to report these calls to official regulators.

Any idea how to block these annoying silent calls that keep happening all the time? They're so dull and pointless!

I kept getting calls from this number, but every time I answered, there was nothing but silence. Curious, I decided to ring it back using two separate landlines. Each time, a recorded message came through saying, "The number you have dialled is not in service; please verify the number and try again. Goodbye." Very odd!

This person has kept ringing my dad quite a few times. Luckily, his live-in carer usually picks up and tells them they need to speak to me, then passes on my number. Lately, the caller’s been getting a bit rude, asking why he always only talks to the carer. When I tried calling the number back, I got a lady speaking with an American accent saying the number’s not recognised or something like that. Pretty odd!

Before I could mention TPS, they asked where I got my number from, then as soon as I said I was registered, they just hung up.

WATCH OUT, THEY’RE NOT REALLY TPS - The legit TPS is the Telephone Preference Service, which is supposed to block nuisance calls. This scam tries to imitate it but calls itself Telephone PROTECTION Service instead. The names are so alike it’s easy to be tricked!

Got a call from someone claiming to be with TPS, telling me they could "112% confirm" I'd never get annoying calls again. I found that a bit odd, but things took a turn when the bloke said they’d be keeping tabs on me around the clock for two weeks. When I questioned why, he just laughed about some conspiracy and hung up on me. Proper weird.

A few weeks back, I got a call from a lady who sounded quite polite and clear. She asked if I was the person she thought I was, using my name. I said yes, but then there was nothing but quiet on the other end. I tried saying hello a couple of times, still no response, then I heard the sound of her phone being put down.

Someone called me, said her name was Shannon or something like that. I told her straight up that their number, which popped up on my caller ID, is one of the biggest annoyances I get calls from. She seemed surprised, then started blabbering about some calling software problems that they supposedly "share" with BT. Total nonsense if you ask me. Honestly, these kinds of places should be shut down just for the way they operate, no matter if they have anything worthwhile or not.

This lowlife rang up my 91 year old mate - luckily she wasn’t wearing her hearing aids then, so she got me to answer instead. If she’d been able to pick up herself, I’m convinced she might’ve handed over her bank info, thinking it’d put an end to all the endless calls she gets. Honestly, it’s about time the government and BT did something serious about these scams!!!

I've had calls from this number on several occasions. I've saved all my close mates, family and key contacts in my phone's address book with special ringtones set just for them. When a call comes through with a different tone, I usually just don't answer. If it's important, they can leave a voicemail, but this number never does. Besides, my nearest and dearest already have my mobile, so if there’s ever anything urgent, they’ll get through.

This number rang me once again today at 1:54pm. Since I do night shifts, getting these calls so often right around this time is super frustrating. They pop up at least monthly, sometimes weekly, and recently they’ve even hit me three days straight in a row. I’ve finally decided to start jotting down every call I get from them. I always planned to keep track, but they’d usually stop for a while, making me think the bother was over, only to have it start up anew like happened today. When I pick up, there’s nobody there. And if I try ringing back, I get a recorded message from an American woman saying the number isn’t active anymore.

Had a female on the line who claimed she was aware of our struggle with annoying calls. I told her we were experiencing one at that very moment! She then began to ramble on about how she and her team could assist in putting an end to these calls... so I promptly hung up. This number appeared when I dialled 1471.

A guy named Alex rang me up, saying he knew about the nuisance calls I’d been getting. He claimed his firm could supply a gadget to block silent and overseas calls, which was meant to be better than the usual TPS service, all for a weekly fee that worked out to a one-time cost of £99.99. He gave me a premium rate number, 08719891414, and mentioned there was a cooling off period. When he asked if I wanted to pay by Visa or MasterCard, I told him I’d think about it and call back if I decided to go ahead. He just said “alright” and ended the call. Since it was an unsolicited call asking for money, I’m not sure this was legit at all.

Telecom Protection Service just took £79.99 off my elderly mother-in-law for some useless little gadget they sold her. I always tell her never to buy anything from cold callers, but she said they called right after she’d had a load of nuisance calls and said "we know you're getting lots of unwanted calls." Makes you wonder who was spamming her right before these scammers rang up trying to sell their product. They're obviously targeting vulnerable older people and ripping them off. We're going to look into whether there’s any legal action we can take and do all we can to stop these awful con artists.

This was just like all the others people mentioned here. They try to use the TPS as a way to trick you, but when I pointed out she was basically just another cold caller, she quickly changed her tune. The TPS doesn’t seem to block every call, especially ones coming from overseas call centres. I reckon without the TPS, I’d be getting even more of these annoying calls.

My phone rang earlier today while I was out, so my lad answered and got a message from them saying they'd ring again. They did try calling back, but by the time I grabbed the phone, the line was dead. I tried ringing them back, but some woman with an American accent told me the number wasn’t active anymore!

At about 5.02pm, I got a call from a woman named Natasha, who said she was ringing because lots of people in my area had been getting annoying marketing calls. She said she could put a kind of extra protection on my phone number to stop any more of these calls. When I asked if someone in my house had reported this or if it was just a random cold call, she said there were plenty of complaints from our postcode. I pointed out that sounded like a cold call, and the real TPS wouldn’t do that. She got a bit defensive then, saying she was just doing her job and it definitely wasn’t a scam, promising it would work. Honestly, it’s quite upsetting that folks feel they have to take these call centre jobs, pushing scams to make ends meet.

Got a call earlier today and was told it’d cost me 49.99 quid a year to stop the calls! That’s actually less than what I’ve seen other folks say here, but I’m not up for paying just to block spam calls. I’m alright with just telling them straight I’m not interested in what they’re selling.

In the afternoon, my wife got a call from a man saying he was calling from TPS (number 02030045597). He told her they knew we’d been getting loads of sales calls lately and offered to stop them for a fee every month. My wife told him to call back when I’d got in from work. He did ring again in the evening, repeating the same lines and started talking about routers and internal calls. What he didn’t expect was that I’ve been with BT for 45 years and know plenty about routers! This company’s a total scam, don’t fall for it. Once I told him I worked at BT, he hung up straight away. Make sure you control the conversation and never agree to anything. One thing that worries me: someone else mentioned a Solar Ltd in their report, and not long ago I had Solar Wall asking about loft installation. Fingers crossed they’re not passing on personal info to these scammers.

I got a call from this number and they claimed to be from the Telecom Protection Service, not the TPS. They wanted me to pay 50p a week to block annoying calls. When I asked if it was a cold call, the lady actually admitted it was. That was pretty much it for our chat.

So this number rang me yesterday claiming to be Solar Energy Ltd. When I asked how they got my info, the bloke sounding pretty harmless told me they had some sort of lists at their office. I told him straight away to take me off their list because I’m on the TPS - he just shrugged it off, saying “Oh, a few get through”. Then, guess what, today the same number calls again but this time they say they’re the TPS or some official sounding outfit because there’s loads of spam calls round here! Honestly, these lot are proper parasites. Seems like a scam to trap people who think the TPS actually works - which it doesn’t, not one bit. I dread to think what they’d try to pull if someone actually fell for their solar pitch. If only folks realised to never buy stuff over the phone, maybe we could starve these vultures of their prey.

I got a call from a bloke claiming to be Tom Bending from some “telephone preference services,” saying they were doing a survey. He asked if I’d been getting loads of nuisance calls lately, and I replied, “Like you, then?” That seemed to catch him off guard a bit. I let him go on, but soon worked out he was trying to sell me a dodgy package to block overseas nuisance calls for £79.99. I told him my daughter sorts all that out and asked if I could ring him back. He made a fake noise like he was talking to someone, then gave me a number to call - 08458750121 - plus a website, www.telephonepreference.co.uk, hoping it’d sound legit. But I wasn’t about to get caught out. Those annoying calls are a pain, but they’re not getting my money!

I got a call from someone claiming to be Laura at Tps, saying there were loads of annoying calls around here and she wanted to help me sort it out. When I said I wasn't interested, she just said no worries, but something felt off. I looked up Tps on their official site and they actually don’t do cold calls at all. Definitely a dodgy one, watch out!

Just got a phone call from some bloke called Liam who said he was with the TPS. He told me I'd been getting loads more dodgy calls lately and tried to sell me some premium service for like £79.99. When I asked if his offer was listed on the TPS website he said it should be, but I couldn't see anything. He wasn’t too aggressive, but it defo felt like he wasnt being straight with me. Total scam in my opinion!
