02031291533 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02031291533 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation targeting UK residents, posing as the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) or Telephone Preference Management. Callers, often with Indian accents, work from call centres and frequently reference genuine personal details to gain trust. They commonly ask for debit or credit card information under various pretexts such as renewing membership or blocking nuisance overseas calls. Many victims note repeated, intrusive calls, sometimes multiple times a day, with some senior and vulnerable individuals particularly at risk. Genuine TPS does not charge or request payment details. Users are advised to neither share personal or financial data nor engage with these calls; instead, report them to relevant authorities. Blocking the number provides limited relief as calls often persist. Vigilance is essential to avoid falling victim to this fraudulent activity.

Just wanted to share some info for anyone annoyed by these kinds of calls. 1. Kunal Gupta, who runs Met Technologies Pvt. Ltd. in India, employs call centre staff who pretend to be from TPS and try to scam folks. 2. He also owns telecom businesses in the UK, company number 08127967, called Met Technologies Ltd. 3. You can report the UK company to the DMA and legal bodies, and they will investigate. I've already put in a complaint myself. The more people report it, the faster they'll act.

Got a call on Friday morning from someone saying they were from the Telephone Preference Management. I told them I’m already signed up with the Telephone Preference Service, but they insisted they could stop calls from abroad. I was pretty suspicious, especially since they were clearly ringing from a call centre and had an Indian accent. So I asked where exactly they were calling from. They said 17 Margaret St, London, so I looked it up on a postcode finder and found there are about 10 businesses there, many of which sound like they could be dodgy.

There was an Asian guy who called, said his name was James and claimed to be from TPM. He asked if we were still getting marketing calls. I told him yes, and he said he'd sort it by signing us up for another year with TPS. When he asked for my info, I just said no thanks, I'll handle it myself on the website.

Received a call from this number earlier today, and it was clearly a call centre given the background chatter. A woman with an Indian accent was on the line. It's odd, as the area code appears to be from London. She inquired if I wished to block international nuisance calls. When I probed for the name of her organisation, she mentioned it was TPS, or Telephone "Management" Service. Quite intriguing! I had already verified my name and postcode, but when she asked if I used direct debit for payment, I was curious as to why that mattered - yet she couldn't provide me with a sensible explanation. She claimed to be reaching out on behalf of BT, Virgin, TalkTalk, and the like. However, when I mentioned I wasn’t a customer of any of those companies, she seemed a bit thrown off, wished me a nice day, and then abruptly ended the call.

They asked if I was the account holder and said they had to verify my account details. I asked for a number to ring them back, and they gave me this one. When I called, I told the person I was nervous this might be a scam and said I needed to be sure they were a genuine company. The bloke didn’t really respond properly so I just ended the call.

Got a call from this number claiming to be from Telephone Preference, asking for the expiry date on my debit card. Do they honestly think people are that daft? I told him I'd be just as annoyed if I asked for his details. Why do these calls keep happening? Last week they rang me at least five times on my mobile. They say they can stop unwanted calls, well they should start by stopping these ones cos they’re definitely top of my blacklist now.

I've had a couple of calls from this number, supposedly representing the TPS. The person on the other end had an Indian accent, and you can definitely tell it’s a call centre because of the lag when you pick up. Quite suspect, to say the least!

I received a call this morning at 8:15 from a gentleman with a thick Indian accent, claiming he was from the Telephone Preference Service. He inquired whether I was still troubled by unwanted calls. Upon confirming that I indeed was, he then asked me to verify whether I settled my utility bill via direct debit. I was taken aback and asked why he needed that information. He insisted it was to confirm my registration. I told him that it was irrelevant to the TPS and refused to provide any details. He kept insisting, so I simply ended the call.

Just had a rather puzzling phone conversation with an Indian gentleman by the name of 'ERIC'-of all names! Quite curious about what he’s really called. He insisted I verify my identity, but I firmly declined. He claimed he couldn’t assist me with blocking pesky calls unless I confirmed my name. I reiterated my refusal and suggested he send me a written confirmation instead, as I preferred not to handle such matters over the phone. Unsurprisingly, that was a no-go for him. Having suspected a scam from the outset, I promptly ended the call. Afterward, I did a quick search on the number and found some alarming information. Thought I’d share my experience as a warning!

Got a call from an Asian guy with a loud background, sounded like a call centre. He said he was ringing from the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). Strange thing is, he already had my postcode and address, then asked for the expiry date on my debit card. When I asked why, he said it was to verify my details because they were updating their system. I told him I didn’t have my card nearby, so he said he’d ring me again later.

I've been receiving calls from this number for several days now. Decided to pick up this morning, and a chap with an Indian accent claimed he was from the Telephone Preference Service. He asked for my registration number, which I didn't quite grasp initially. When I inquired further, he audaciously suggested that I should provide the long number from my bank card! I thought he was having a laugh at first, but he insisted that he only required my bank card details to verify my registration. In the end, I told him to shove off and promptly ended the call.

They rang my elderly mum pretending to be from Call Blocker Services. Told her her old subscription was overdue. Then read out her card details. Asked for £50 to keep the service going. Mum hesitated but gave them her card security number so they could charge £50. They had already phoned her back on 7/09/2015 and taken £53 without her properly agreeing. I rang on 8/09/2015 to demand a refund but never got one. Mum had totally forgotten about the earlier calls or that it was meant to be a lifetime service. I asked for a refund again on 7/01/2016.

Just like a few others here, someone pretending to be from the TPS has been ringing my nan loads of times every day. She accidentally shared some info at first, not knowing they weren't legit, so we had to get in touch with her bank quick to protect her account. It's really taking a toll on her health, having to deal with this constant nuisance, and even though we've tried blocking the number, they somehow still manage to get through.

He said it was about renewing some kind of blocking. After checking with his supervisor, he somehow had my name and address, then he recited an expiry date for my visa card, but it was wrong.

I just added this number to the telephone preference service, so it looks like they’re purposely going after numbers on there - what a bunch of awful people. Bet it’s the same call centre pretending to be from Microsoft - gotten two of those calls not long ago too.

A bloke rang me, said he was from the Telephone Preference Service, claiming he had to verify some info so all calls would stop by tomorrow. He asked me to confirm stuff like my name, address and postcode. But the details he gave were all wrong and it set alarm bells off, so I just ended the call and didn’t say anything more.

They keep ringing me twice a day, then either just hang up or stay silent. I tried calling the number back but got an answerphone asking me to leave my details and they'd call me again. I hung up, they’re 100% scammers. Wish I knew how to report them, but no idea where to start.

Just like comment from 18 11 2015, the caller dropped the call as soon as I said hello.

Got a ring from this number earlier but didn't pick up. There's an option for real callers to leave a message which I can reply to, but annoying ones often just hang up without saying anything, like this caller did today. I quickly looked up the number here and saw all the past comments. Glad I trusted my gut and didn’t answer, instead relying on the useful info shared by others. I’ve labelled it 'Unknown' since I didn’t answer, so no clue what they wanted.

Received a call today, 24th November, from someone claiming to be with the Telephone Preference Service. However, they started inquiring about bank account details. I ended the conversation promptly.

Got a call from this number, they asked if I was still getting annoying calls. Next thing, they wanted my debit card info. I told them I thought they were trying to scam me and ended the call straight away!

He claimed to be from TPS and asked if I was still paying my phone bill by direct debit. Then he wanted me to confirm my card details. I told him it was my wife's card and she wasn't here. He said he'd ring back later. I'll let you know if he gets back to me.

It’s rather vexing, isn’t it? I receive calls from this number a couple of times daily, yet every time I answer, they simply disconnect. It’s beyond frustrating!

Chris claiming to be from the telephone preference service rang me too. Almost the same as others said, asked for the expiry date and the first few numbers from my card’s verification code. Seemed to have a lot of my details already. Watch out, folks!

I just said hi and the person on the other end just dropped the call immediately.

I'm utterly fed up with receiving calls from this number. Every time I pick up, there's just silence on the other end before the call drops. It's incredibly frustrating!

Got a call from this number asking me to verify the expiry date on my card. When I questioned where they’d got my card info, they just ended the call. Said they were calling from TPS but sounded dodgy to me.

TPM, Ben Williams, 12/11/15. This was the first time they called and I really hope its the last. The bloke asked for my card info to stop the nuisance calls. I told him no and to just remove me from their call list.

They keep calling but never bother to leave a message. I'm starting to think this might be some sort of scam!

He said he was from the TPS and checking on blocking international calls. He even gave my old postcode, and when I told him no, he asked for my new postcode. I didn’t give it and he just ended the call.

I must say, they certainly gave off a strong whiff of a scam in my opinion.

I had an encounter with a bloke claiming to represent the Telephone Preference Service, insisting he needed some information. I distinctly remember registering for that service ages ago, thinking it was a lifelong arrangement! When he asked about the expiry date of my card, I was taken aback-I'm no fool, mind you! I told him that I couldn't access my card at the moment, and he mentioned he’d ring me back on Monday morning. I’d love to see that happen, seeing as I’ve already barred the number from reaching me!

Got two calls from this number but no one said anything, so can't tell who or what they're about. Once I figure out why they're ringing, I'll update here with the info.

Like others have said before, they’re targeting people who are easy to fool. Whoever’s behind this needs to be found and stopped, surely it can’t be that difficult to track them given all these reports? They keep asking for card info and PINs - it’s clearly just a scam!

I had a rather dubious encounter with an Indian chap who inquired whether I ever got unsolicited marketing calls. When I affirmed that I did, he assured me that they’d stop coming. Then, out of the blue, he wanted to know which bank I was with and whether my card had expired on a specific date. The alarm bells were ringing! I concocted a random date, and he immediately began to probe for my card number, starting with a '4' - another massive red flag! I couldn’t believe the audacity! I straight up told him, "Do you really think I’d be fool enough to share my banking info?" *** A heads-up to everyone, especially the older generation: stay vigilant against these con artists! ***

Got a call from an asian bloke claiming to be from tps management. He said he knew I pay my bill by direct debit and asked for my card details which I wouldn’t give. I tried ringing the number he gave me but no answer, so I just told him to jog on.

Just got a ring from this number saying they wanted to help stop my annoying calls. He seemed to know, or guessed, that I pay my phone bill using a debit card and asked me to confirm the last 4 digits to verify my identity. When I said I wasn’t comfortable sharing my credit card info, he changed it to needing my debit card details. I didn't carry on with the call - smells like a scam to me. Watch out folks!

Happened again but this time he said his name was William. I asked him for his number so I could see who he was. He gave me this number and then kept asking stuff about my debit card. He didn’t seem happy when I asked for his card info back and just ended the call. Proper sick of these calls. They really should be banned.

Just got a call from someone saying they were from Telephone Preference Service Management. Was a guy with an Asian accent calling himself Ben Williams. Started feeling dodgy when he asked how I pay my phone bill. Then he tried to get my Credit Card details - I said no way! He said it was to stop nuisance calls, but I told him he was one of them. Hung up straight away! Sounds like a scam to me.

It seems to us that this is a scam masquerading as TPS, attempting to obtain credit card details and their expiration dates.
