02038174484 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02038174484 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance caller frequently linked to scams involving false claims of refunds or rebates, often related to PPI, utilities, or government fees. Callers, sometimes using Welsh accents or names like "Synergy" or "HES," pressure recipients for personal and credit card details, sometimes employing aggressive or rude behaviour. Despite many recipients being registered with the Telephone Preference Service and using call blockers, calls often continue multiple times daily, causing distress, especially among vulnerable individuals. Calls sometimes end abruptly or are silent, and attempts to verify the caller’s identity typically prove futile. Authorities like Trading Standards and the Ministry of Justice are recommended points of contact for complaints. Blocking the number is widely advised, and vigilance against sharing personal details over the phone is emphasised.

Got calls from a phoney energy firm, they were using all sorts of tricks like offering refunds and rebates just to swipe your card info. Proper scam.

I've received calls from this number on two occasions, and on the second call, I somehow managed to spare them a couple of minutes-definitely a rarity for me! Surprisingly, they turned out to be rather useful, assisting me in reclaiming £7400 from PPI claims I was completely unaware of. Typically, these unsolicited calls can be such a bother, but it's a reminder that occasionally, there's a gem amongst the usual nuisances that might be worth your fleeting attention.

I genuinely wish for this firm to be put out of business. As someone who relies on a wheelchair, I find it incredibly frustrating that despite my registration with the Telephone Preference Service and my phone’s blocking features, their calls still manage to ring three to five times before it finally cuts them off. By the time that happens, I've already had to struggle to get to the phone. It's utterly baffling how the regulatory bodies seem so indifferent to dealing with these nuisances. These unwelcome interruptions are really making my day-to-day existence quite unbearable.

Some bloke said he was calling from the "Claims Department." I asked which claims department he meant, but he just dodged the question. So, I just ended the call.

They said they were from a PPI claims company. The first thing they did was ask for the number on the back of my credit card to "confirm my identity" (bit odd if you ask me). Seems like a sneaky way to get you to grab your wallet and have your card ready, so when they later ask for the full card number, expiry date and security code, you might just give it without thinking. I wasn’t having any of it and told the guy, who said his name was "John Evans", to share his credit card info with me then! Unsurprisingly, he wasn’t keen. I just said I’d ring back later and ended the call.

I got a call from someone claiming they could help with my PPI claim. The bloke said his name was Ashleigh Davis and that he was from Synergie. They asked for loads of info, including my credit card number. I was daft enough to give it to them, but when I wouldn't share the three digit security code, the guy started being really rude and aggressive. I rang my bank immediately and had the card blocked.

We've been receiving calls from this number repeatedly, and honestly, we've no clue who it belongs to. Since we don't pick up calls from unfamiliar numbers, they have no hope of reaching us.

I received a rather peculiar phone call earlier on from HES, claiming to be associated with Welsh Water. They asserted that Welsh Water owes us a staggering £890, possibly even more.

I received a rather curious call earlier, the woman had a distinct south-west Welsh twang. She claimed to represent an organisation called HES, and mentioned that I’d been overcharged for surface water drainage on my water bill. When she inquired whether I was on a state pension or a private one, I responded private (which honestly isn't true, as I’m not of pension age!). To my surprise, she said I wasn’t eligible for a refund, but they could possibly arrange for someone to come out and conduct a survey. When I pressed for more details about HES, she seemed rather evasive. And, upon challenging her about these supposed ground water charges, she abruptly cut the line. She did mention explicitly that she was calling from Swansea and claimed to be affiliated with HES, but I suspect this might well be one of those dubious call centres that are quite infamous in that area.

I had a rather unpleasant encounter with a rather pushy individual who claimed that I had filled out a survey requesting a call. Naturally, that couldn’t be further from the truth!

Honestly, my day was going splendidly until this chap came along and turned it upside down!

This number has been ringing me nearly every day without fail. They've left a rather raucous message from what sounds like a busy office on my voicemail. I’ve tried picking up to ask them to cease their endless calls, but as soon as I do, they hang up! It’s incredibly frustrating! Like many others, I’ve attempted to call back to discover their identity, only to be put on hold-and this has even happened at the crack of dawn!
