Phone number ☎️ 0203168714 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance number making frequent calls, often multiple times a day, usually early morning. Callers claim to represent well-known companies like BT, TalkTalk, Microsoft, or an energy provider, but frequently exhibit foreign accents and aggressive or rude behaviour when challenged. They employ scare tactics about computer viruses, unpaid debts, or reduced bills, often seeking remote access to devices or personal information. Many recipients report being registered with the Telephone Preference Service, yet calls persist. There are also instances of silent calls or hang-ups upon answering. Overall, this number is widely associated with scam activity and unwelcome telemarketing, and it is strongly advised not to engage, share personal details, or follow their instructions. Blocking the number and reporting to relevant authorities is recommended.

11 yearsI keep getting silent calls from 0203168714, usually around twice a day. This morning it rang but when I answered, there was no one on the line! Really annoying.11 yearsGot two calls within a couple of days, both said they were from BT. Ended up just hanging up the second time they rang.BT11 yearsMy mum’s been getting calls from this number nonstop. The bloke said his name was Derek Wilson but sounded like he had an Indian accent. He was going on about her phone service, but when she didn’t want to answer, he just told her to f### off. She doesn’t need this hassle, especially now. She’s on the TPS list too.Derek Wilson11 yearsA chap with an Indian accent, who went by the name of 'Peter', called me up. He had my name on hand and claimed that the Office of Fair Trading had a record of an unsecured debt linked to me. I quickly brushed him off.PeterOffice of Fair Trading11 yearsI got a call from this number saying my computer was having issues. I told them I don’t even own a computer, only tablets. They insisted it was down anyway. I just said, "Yeah, it’s dead, just like my phone now. Cheers, bye!"11 yearsCalled by this number earlier. I'm not too great with computers, so I did what the person told me. My computer did run faster afterwards, but then I get slapped with a £350 charge! Can't believe speeding up a PC costs that much, there’s gotta be cheaper ways out there!11 yearsGot a call today from a number saying they were from BT, saying my phone bill would be going down next month. This is the second time they’ve called me today. I just told the person I’m not falling for it and asked them to stop ringing me.BT11 yearsThis number called me bright and early at 7:36 am today! They claimed there were issues with my computer. I told them off for waking me up so early, but the guy said because my computer supposedly had so many problems, he could call me at that hour. He wanted me to press the windows key next to the ctrl key, but the computer I use most isn’t a Windows machine so that button doesn’t even exist. Then he asked if it was a Mac. I said I’d get my son to fix whatever “problems” there were. Honestly, it worries me that others might fall for this. How do these people live with themselves?11 yearsI didn’t quite get their name, but the caller claimed they were from some company saying my phone bill was going to be cheaper starting next month. It all sounded a bit dodgy, so I told them to ring me back another time. After seeing stuff about it online, I’m pretty sure it’s a scam, and next time I’ll be telling them off properly!11 yearsThis morning, Saturday 3rd October, at 8.15am I got a call from 0203168714. It was dead silent on the other end! Honestly, it’s so frustrating how these scammers keep disturbing my peace, especially early in the morning when I’m trying to sleep. Someone really needs to put a stop to this nonsense!11 yearsUgh, 0203168714 rang me twice today! The first time was at 8.15 this morning on Saturday 3rd October and it proper woke me up! When I answered, no one was on the line. Then they called back at 10.30am, same thing - no one there again! So annoying!!11 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from Windows support. I turned down their help, tried to be polite about it though.11 yearsThis number 0201597791 keeps ringing me and then suddenly my laptop just crashed. Really annoying!11 yearsSo, I rang my mum up yesterday, right? When she said she’d already looked into her PPI and wasn’t due anything, the bloke just snapped, “oh f#ck off.” He told us his name was Stan. Proper rude.Stan11 yearsMy mum got a couple of calls from the same person, all within an hour. When she told him she'd already answered once earlier, the bloke started swearing, calling her all sorts of nasty names. Lovely behaviour, right? Would it be worth reporting this to the police?11 yearsJust got a call from this number a sec ago, offering me £2,000 back for PPI. They actually knew my name and where i live, which was a bit creepy.11 yearsThese calls keep coming twice daily from 0203168741, it’s really getting on my nerves. Always that rubbish about PPI, I’m fed up with it.11 yearsSomeone named Ellen with an Indian accent rang me from 0203 168714 claiming to be from the INSURANCE REFUND DEPARTMENT. When I told her I wasn't interested and asked to be removed from their list, she just hung up. Somehow, they had my name and home number. I tried ringing the number back but it just goes unanswered. Judging by the details they gave in the messages, I’m pretty sure this is a scam, so I’ve blocked the number on both my mobile and my landline.Ellen11 yearsReceived a call from this number earlier today. When I picked up, all I could hear was a sort of buzzing noise, and then they just disconnected. Quite odd, if you ask me!11 yearsI got called by 0203168714, some person said they were from TalkTalk. Just about an hour later, I got another call from Microsoft, no idea what's going on. Can someone please do something and shut this number down?TalkTalkMicrosoft11 yearsI received a call from a number claiming to be from TalkTalk, insisting that my computer had been compromised and that my bank information, Facebook account, email, and so on had been breached. They urged me to get onto my computer so they could guide me through erasing the supposed virus. As if I’d fall for that! I promptly reached out to TalkTalk to inform them of this incident, only to find out that it was indeed a scam - they had not made any such call.TalkTalkFacebook11 yearsThis guy called, sounded foreign and said his name was Alan, claiming he was from Talk Talk. I told him I’m not a customer and just ended the call.Alan11 yearsHad a call from some bloke claiming he was from BT, saying my internet was gonna be cut off for a few days because of some tech issue. As soon as he told me to get on my computer, I got suspicious it was a scam and ended the call straight away!BT11 yearsThey keep calling me at half nine every morning, but I simply brush it aside.11 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Asian accent who claimed he was "Jason" from Microsoft Tech Support. I just let him go on for a bit, and when I didn’t respond to his "Hello, is anyone there?" he hung up himself. He tried ringing me again a few minutes later, but I ignored it. Just another dodgy scammer!JasonMicrosoft11 yearsThis morning at ten o'clock, I got a rather alarming phone call from this number. The caller claimed that my computer would be disabled within a day due to some virus they said I had. When I mentioned that I would involve the authorities, they turned quite rude, telling me to ‘be quiet’ before ending the call unceremoniously. Quite a distressing experience, to say the least!11 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy claiming he worked for Microsoft and said my PC was full of serious issues. I pretended to go along with it for some time, but once he figured out I wasn’t buying it, he just ended the call. Not long after, an Asian lady rang and also said she was from Microsoft, but as soon as I started talking, she just dropped the call. Quite sketchy!Microsoft11 yearsSpoke to some young lady with an Indian accent from TalkTalk, but the number was different than the one yesterday. Cheers, TalkTalk!11 yearsI got a call around 8:40 this morning, they claimed to be from Talk Talk, but I just ended the call straight away.11 yearsI didn’t quite get the person’s name, but the caller told me something like, “just calling to inform you your phone charges will be lower starting next month. Is that alright with you?” I guess if I’d said yes, they’d have assumed I agreed to switch my contract over to them. I’m on the Telephone Preference Service list, but it clearly does nothing. Feels like OFCOM cares more about the companies than actual customers.Telephone Preference ServiceOFCOM11 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from Microsoft, claiming they’d downloaded files and only they could fix my computer. I managed to keep him on the phone for 17 minutes - wonder if that’s a new record for wasting a scammer’s time! On a serious note though, this is totally ridiculous. Can't something be done to shut this number down? Don’t fall for it - never let them download anything onto your laptop, just let them waste their own minutes. Gotta admit, I kind of enjoyed messing with him and wasting his time!Microsoft11 yearsReceived a cheeky call from this number with some blokes pretending to be from Windows support. I swiftly told them where to go!11 yearsThis number keeps buzzing me, stays quiet then just cuts off. Proper annoying, honestly!11 yearsWhat a total scam, got a phone call from these people on Saturday morning around 11.54, 19th September. I live in Leeds. I just gave her a bit of a hard time and then ended the call. Wish I’d kept her talking to see what she was after, but I was a bit tied up then.Leeds11 yearsGot a call from a bloke with an Asian accent claiming he was ringing from Microsoft, saying my computer was getting infected with some dodgy stuff. I told him I doubted that was true and then asked who he thought he was actually talking to. Next thing, he just hung up on me.Microsoft11 yearsGot a call from some bloke claiming to be from the computer support team, sounded like total rubbish, probably from Pakistan or somewhere like that. Honestly, these scammers should be stopped. But I do enjoy messing with them a bit, giving them nonsense before finally telling them I don’t even own a computer. Are these people really that daft?Pakistan11 yearsI reckon this call is from Guangzhou City in Guangdong, China. I did a wee bit of searching, and it seems likely. The phone rang, but just as I picked it up, they had already disconnected. This all happened at 09:21 on a Monday morning.Guangzhou CityGuangdongChina11 yearsGot a call today from someone saying they were with Microsoft. I told them they’d got the wrong person since I don’t even own a computer. The voice sounded Asian but they spoke like they were American or something.Microsoft11 yearsGot a call from 0203168714 again on 19th Sept. Nobody said a word on the other end, so I ended up just hanging up real quick!11 yearsI've been getting calls from this number quite a bit lately - twice just today, and a couple of other times in the past two days as well. Might’ve been more days but I didn’t always answer. When I did pick up, I just said hello and hung up pretty quickly without listening. The number looks odd to me, so I just assumed it was some sort of scam.11 yearsGot a call from 0203168714 both yesterday and today. Yesterday, I chatted with them for a minute and they claimed to be from a telecom firm, so I just ended the call. Today I hung up straight away without even letting them say much. After seeing what others have written, I’m pretty curious how they managed to get my number since I’m ex-directory and signed up with the TPS. Also, loads of reviews mention TalkTalk, but I’ve never had any account with them. Wonder what’s going on!TPSTalkTalk11 yearsGot a call from this number at 6:20 in the morning, but when I picked up, there was silence and I didn’t say anything. Then, it called me again around 10:50 am. I’m off sick today and really don’t need the hassle. I’ve noticed this number popping up for the past couple of days too.11 yearsI received a call from this number, but it seems incomplete - it's missing a digit! The caller claimed there was an issue with our internet and insisted that we were somehow introducing a virus online. Very peculiar, indeed!11 yearsGot a call from a woman saying my internet was having issues. I asked where she got my number from and she claimed the UK police told her to ring me. Then I got another call less than an hour later, and there was loads of background noise. If these numbers are flagged, why aren’t they blocked? This happens to me all the time now.UK11 yearsI got a call from a woman with an Asian accent saying my internet was compromised and they'd disconnect me by the end of the day. She told me to switch on my PC but something felt off. I quickly ended the call and later contacted TalkTalk to let them know about this scam.TalkTalk11 yearsI received a call today from a woman using this number. If I recall correctly, she mentioned something about lowering my call charges, but I found it quite hard to follow her explanation. Her accent was quite thick, and I struggled to grasp what she was saying, so I decided to end the conversation.11 yearsI got a call the other day from someone pretending to be TalkTalk, but I'm sure they weren’t really them. They said my account had been hacked and asked for my details, but I’d already noticed some funny activity on my account so I didn’t give anything away. Turns out, my info was probably stolen from TalkTalk itself since I’m an old customer. It’s scary how easily these scammers can get hold of your stuff. Just a heads up to anyone with TalkTalk, be extra careful what you share on calls!TalkTalk11 yearsI've been getting around two calls every day from this number claiming to be TalkTalk's tech support. They keep saying my internet’s about to get cut off. I know it’s rubbish and have told them that, which usually makes them hang up. A mate of mine wasn’t wise to the scam and ended up having her computer shut down, which ended up costing her quite a bit.TalkTalk11 yearsGot a call from this weird number too. The person said something about a TalkTalk customer needing to answer the phone. I just hit mute and left the handset by the phone while I kept doing my thing this morning. After a good four minutes, a lady with an Asian accent ended the call. I then blocked the number so it won’t bother me again.TalkTalk11 yearsGot a call from someone saying they're from Talk Talk, trying to get me to let them access my computer remotely. Total scam, just ended the call straight away!11 yearsI received a call from this number claiming to be from Talk Talk, insisting that my internet connection had been compromised. It was evidently an attempt to con me into divulging my banking information. I reached out to Talk Talk directly, and they confirmed that they are indeed aware of this scam.TalkTalk Talk11 yearsHad a call from some “TalkTalk” person claiming my PC was infected with nasty files. They somehow knew my account number, probably from some dodgy employee. As always I asked for my email, but after a bit, the caller - naturally Indian - said they couldn’t find it. What a shocker! We ended up arguing for a good ten minutes before they hung up with a quick goodbye.TalkTalk11 yearsGot a call from someone with an asian accent saying my computer licence number was tampered with or something like that. Seemed dodgy to me.11 yearsIf you want to stop all those annoying calls, definitely try the BT 8500 handset pack. You can pick it up from BT directly or on Amazon. It really helped me cut down on unwanted calls, but a couple of things to note: you’ll need caller display activated and obviously you have to be with BT as your provider. Worth it though!BTAmazon11 yearsI got a call from some bloke who said his name was Peter Brown, sounded Indian and I honestly couldn’t understand a word he was saying. I told him I wasn’t interested and just ended the call.Peter Brown11 yearsI keep getting loads of calls from energy companies, it’s nonstop every single day. It’s really annoying so I just end up hanging up straight away now. Feels like they’re ringing from some kind of call centre or something.11 yearsPicked up the phone and all I could hear was that annoying chatter you get from call centres. I just ended the call and blocked them straight away. Lately, I've been getting loads of calls from 0203 numbers and from what I've gathered, these are scammers operating out of India trying to get your bank info to rob you. It's really frustrating that nothing seems to be done to put an end to this!India11 yearsDefinitely a total con artist, watch out!Fraudster11 yearsI told them I wasn’t interested in the energy survey but the lady kept pushing me. Then she got a bit rude. I’ve had about six calls in just four days, even though I asked them to stop and to take my number off their list.11 yearsGot a call from a woman who claimed I wasn’t interested, so I just ended the call. Then she rang me back three times, getting annoyed that I’d hung up. When my husband picked up, she only said she was speaking to ‘a lady’. We asked where she got my number from; she said my internet company. My husband pointed out there’s no internet provider linked to this number, then she switched to saying it came from a crime report. I told her my number’s registered with the TPS and asked for her manager. After me asking about 20 times, she abruptly hung up.Telephone Preference ServiceTPS11 yearsGot a call from someone with an Indian or Pakistani accent claiming to be doing a Home Energy Survey. Their English was really hard to understand. They wouldn’t give me a proper website or any number to ring back, just kept asking for details like who provides my gas and electricity. When I told them to get lost, they weren't happy about it - but honestly, fair enough. Wouldn’t it be great if we could just block all calls coming from India? Or at least make them go through an operator, like those old reverse charge calls we used to get?India11 yearsThere was some noise in the background but nobody spoke, so I just ended the call.11 yearsWhen I picked up, all I could hear was noises like from an office, so I just didn’t pay much attention after that - that’s my go-to move whenever this kind of thing happens.11 yearsI got three calls back to back from this number, and they just wouldn’t accept it when I said no. It was pretty annoying.11 yearsGot a call from someone with an Asian accent saying he was Peter. He told me my computer licence was compromised and asked for my licence number. I told him I wasn't giving any info to strangers and he just dropped the call.Peter11 yearsThere was a fair bit of commotion in the background, yet no one actually said a word!11 yearsIn a bit over four hours, I've had three calls about something to do with energy, but I can't quite make out what's being said. It's getting really frustrating because we have a private number and we're on the TPS list.TPS11 yearsThey persistently ring us multiple times each day, without fail. We've taken to simply hanging up on them now.Submit Your Own Report (203168714)
