02033847799 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02033847799 👆 is reported as a persistent and deceitful scam targeting elderly individuals, posing as a nuisance call blocking service or pretending to be affiliated with reputable organisations like BT or the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). Callers often pressure vulnerable people into providing bank account or card details under the guise of avoiding nuisance calls, demanding upfront payments followed by monthly fees. The operation uses aggressive and manipulative tactics, sometimes exploiting memory issues or illnesses like dementia, and frequently employs foreign accents to make claims. Although some bank details alone cannot authorise withdrawals, the threat of unauthorised direct debits is significant, prompting many to report suspicious activity to banks immediately. This scam is widely condemned for its heartlessness and should be avoided entirely. Genuine nuisance call blocking services are available free through official channels.

Watch out for this phone number and the company behind it. They got in touch with my elderly mum and somehow convinced her to give her bank info, setting up a direct debit of £129 upfront and then £5.99 every month after. The documents they sent looked pretty legit. They’re pushing a call blocking service aimed at older people. Thankfully, we spotted it in time and cancelled the direct debit ourselves, and the bank was able to refund the first payment. The callers had a strong foreign accent and were really pushy.

Got some calls from Asian/Indian folks trying to get me to renew a 5-year caller block service. They started asking for my IBAN which seemed off because that’s a bank thing, not anything to do with phone plans. Definitely sketchy, so watch out for that!

Just finished a call with someone named 'Edward' trying to close my mum's account. She suffers from dementia and Alzheimer's, and back in May she agreed to pay £99. Not sure if there were supposed to be ongoing monthly charges, but I cancelled the direct debit with her bank before calling. Edward asked to keep my phone number 'in case of any questions,' but I told him since I’m closing the account, he shouldn’t hold any of our contact info. To be safe, I’m going to change all mum's bank details because we've had trouble with a company called 'Guaranteed Telecom' before.

My 87 year old mum got a call from these lot today. Classic scam stuff - they said she'd have to pay £399 to start with, then £199 every month after. Luckily, the price was so high she started to question it, but I’m sure they’ll be back at her door again soon.

Just got a call that felt fishy again - I always check by asking for their number and then use this site to double-check, and it turns out to be a scam. Not surprised really!

My elderly mate, who’s 86, rang me all worried earlier. She’d just had a call from 02033847799 saying the government was changing rules about nuisance calls and she needed to cough up £99 now plus £4.99 every six months to block overseas calls. They kept her on the line for over 30 minutes, really wearing her down. Eventually she got her cheque book out and gave them her info like they asked. It’s awful because she had a stroke three years back and finds it hard to talk when upset, so they totally preyed on her vulnerability.

I was at my 92 year old aunts place when she was on the phone, startin to get her cheque book ready! The call was from 02033847799. I grabbed the phone off her and told the person to sod off and not to bother her anymore. Total scam.

At about 7:15 this morning, this caller rang my mum pretending to be from BT. They said her call blocker, which she’s had for five years, needed renewing. Even though she told them she’s entitled to a free replacement, they kept insisting she had to cough up £99.

My mum nearly got tricked out of £129 by someone claiming to be from BT. They rang her and asked for her bank details from her cheque book. Luckily, she said that all her financial stuff is handled by her daughter, so they didn’t get away with it.

My 88 year old mum got a call from these lot, and they managed to coax her birth date and card info out without much fuss. She’s usually quite careful, especially after falling for a scam before, but these scammers were very slick. It’s really upset her, and I’m hoping that if enough folks speak up, this dodgy and shady company will finally be put to an end.

My Dad got a few calls from these scammers at home, trying to sell him a lifetime block on nuisance calls for a single payment of £129. What freaked me out was that they actually knew his BT account number! Bit worrying, to say the least.

Got a call earlier claiming to be about TPS. When they asked for my bank sort code and account number, I said no way. They kept insisting it was just to verify I paid the telephone bill. I wasn’t having any of it and refused to share anything. The guy tried to calm me down but my hubby came on the phone and started asking questions, then they quickly ended the call. Wouldn’t trust those lot at all.

My elderly grandparents nearly got ripped off when someone tried to get their bank details. They said the price was reduced to £99 and mentioned a monthly charge. Thankfully, we spotted it in time before any money was taken and cancelled the whole thing.

I got a dodgy call from someone pretending to be from Telephone Preference Service. They sounded way too eager like they thought I was about to give away my bank info. When I checked, the number was 007356721404, found out by dialling 1471. Total scam.

I just got a call very similar to that one from 12/02/18. I sat through her spiel, waiting for the bit where she’d ask for some sort of private info so I could hit her with my usual spiel about how she’d be better off finding a real job instead of dodgy scams. Feels good to get that off my chest. Shame I don’t have an old landline with a twisty cord to slam down for dramatic effect. Clicking a button just doesn’t have the same punch.

Got a call earlier, some bloke asking how I pay my phone bill, then started rambling about all the scams going around.
He wasn’t having it when I tried to say no, so I figured I’d mess about and waste a bit of his time instead.

I just got a ring from 02033847799, and it was a woman speaking with a foreign accent who claimed they were trying to put an end to my nuisance calls. She even mentioned my address. I told her I was a bit doubtful since I know the TPS doesn't call people to get new clients. I asked where they were based and for a contact number to verify things. She gave me her number without hesitation, and then we ended the chat. Later on, I decided to check the number out on here.

My granny got a call from these people pushing a TPS service charging £99.99 upfront and then £5.99 a month. She turned them down at first, but an hour later they rang again, dropping the upfront fee to £49.99 with the same monthly direct debit deal. They were really pushy and rude, which upset her a lot. Luckily, we got in touch with the bank straight away - no money was taken and the card is now cancelled. Honestly, it’s awful how they target older folks like this. Big thanks to everyone who shared their experiences here.

someone rang me claiming to be from bt’s telephone preference centre, saying my contract had expired and i had to sign up again. she already had my name, address, and postcode, which was a bit worrying. then she asked for details from my bank card or cheque book to complete the re-registration. i told her there’s no chance i was sharing that info and ended the call straight away.

There’s a group calling themselves National Telephone Preference Management Services offering to sell access to the TPS for £99-00, which is meant to be completely free. It’s so wrong how they target vulnerable folks, like my dad who is 92. Absolute scam artists preying on the elderly.
