02031478198 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02031478198 👆 is reported as a dubious and persistent phone number linked to unsolicited messages urging recipients to call back urgently about a vague "private matter" with references to a firm called Fredrickson International. Many users advise against returning the call due to suspicions of it being a scam, with concerns over high call charges and unclear motives. The text messages lack specific details and fail to identify the individual they seek, raising doubts over their legitimacy. Some callers experienced lengthy hold times or were unable to verify the company's contact details through official channels. It is widely recommended to avoid engagement, ignore the messages, and consult consumer forums for further advice, as this appears to be a tactic to provoke a costly call-back rather than a genuine debt collection or business enquiry.

We've received one as well! It was a very similar text message asking us to return the call. Not a chance! If these folks truly wanted to reach us, they would have dropped an email instead.

I received a couple of messages this month urging me to get in touch with a company called Fredricks, stressing that it was rather pressing. I couldn't agree more with others who've commented on this; if it were legitimate, they would undoubtedly know our name and address. I reckon they'd come knocking on our door if we actually owed them anything! I'm quite astonished that they seem to be mixed up in this whole affair. No way am I returning their call!

This number belongs to Fedrickson International, and honestly, we're becoming increasingly frustrated with the situation. These individuals persistently keep trying to reach someone else, and we want to make it clear that it isn’t us. We’ve only had this number for a mere three days!

Received a similar text message on my mobile earlier today. I'm definitely not giving them a ring. If they need to reach us with such urgency, they ought to pick up the phone themselves. Can't say I've ever come across Fredricksons International before.

I've received the same message myself. We're definitely not calling this back; I'm familiar with numbers like that. Folks like this tend to fleece you for a small fortune just for returning the call. My advice? Steer clear and don't bother ringing them again!

I nearly overlooked it, but I received yet another text earlier today-it was the same old spiel, but from the number 02031478143 this time. I shot back a message saying that if these nuisances don't cease, I’ll be reporting them to the authorities. Fingers crossed they'll take the hint and disappear. Sadly, there's not much info out there on this latest number, but I’m determined to keep searching!

Same digits, rather dodgy if you ask me, so I won’t be getting in touch with them! Grateful we decided to look it up online!

We received a message from them yesterday, and we’ve decided not to give them a ring. A heartfelt thanks to everyone for your thoughts!

I’ve just received the same boilerplate message as others here, so just a heads up-don't bother returning a call from this number at any point. To clarify, it has come to light that someone’s been dispatching the same messages to various individuals. Those who called back found themselves stuck on hold for as long as ten minutes, and when they eventually hung up, they quite possibly dodged a hefty phone bill. It seems like a scam that BT might be turning a blind eye to, as it's clear they could be raking in the profits. The charges for these calls could soar to £2 a minute! Stay vigilant, everyone!

We received a text message from this number urging us to call back regarding a confidential issue, specifically stating that it wasn’t a sales call. When we called the number, referencing the case they provided, we found ourselves in a queue which raised some red flags for us, so we ended the call. Curious to uncover more, we decided to do a bit of digging online and stumbled upon this discussion. We’ll certainly continue to look into this matter.

Received another dodgy message from Frederickson International, complete with a reference number and some nonsense about a private matter. I looked up their official website (they're a debt recovery agency, just so you know), and the contact number they provided was completely different. It's at least the second or third time this has happened to me. Honestly, as Caro pointed out, it makes you wonder if they're trying to intimidate us into revealing our personal information. If it were urgent and they really had a legitimate claim that we owed them money, surely they'd give us a ring instead of sending these vague texts? It's all a bit suspect, if you ask me!

The number appears to be the same as another I found, which is quite dodgy indeed! I certainly won't be giving them a bell. Thank heavens we thought to look it up online!

We've just received a similar message! It’s the same wording, prompting us to give them a call back. Not to get too deep into it, but if they really require our assistance, they ought to reach out through email instead.

Received a message on my mobile from that number. The text claimed it wasn't a sales pitch, urging us to get in touch with some unspecified company. It read, "This is not a promotional message. Please contact my special project team immediately regarding a confidential issue, reference number...". We replied, asking them to call us if it was truly urgent, but we've yet to hear a peep back from them. I suspect this might not be of any significance after all. Cheers, Steven.

I received a message from Frederickson International via my landline with BT. It didn't seem to be a promotional message. They’ve asked for a prompt call back at 02031478198.

I’ve received a text from BT that shows up as 08456021111 on my handset. It’s regarding a call to Fredrickson International at 02031478198 about a personal issue, including a reference number. However, the message doesn’t specify who they’re trying to reach. This is the second time this month I’ve received such a message. We have no intention of returning their call! If it's truly significant, I'm certain they'll send a letter.

I received the same pre-recorded message on our office line. It mentioned ref number 3373212. Has anyone else come across this reference?

Blimey, these folks are relentless and rather unpleasant! We had a chat with someone from their end, and it seemed like they were rummaging through our personal details without much reason. We asked why they were probing us since they were the ones who called first. After a couple of attempts, they left messages urging us to call back, complete with a reference number on the second call - not to mention the awful hold music that was playing! It’s quite concerning, isn't it? Are they merely trying to fish for our banking info under the guise of a debt collection scare?

I recently received a text message from someone urging me to get in touch with them right away about a confidential issue, including a rather peculiar single-digit reference number. We're not going to respond, as it all seems rather dodgy and likely a scam.

This phone number appears to belong to Fedrickson International, and we're becoming increasingly frustrated with the situation. These individuals keep calling us in search of someone else, which is quite annoying, especially considering we've only had this number for a mere three days!
