Phone number ☎️ 02038616398 👆 is reported as associated with aggressive and persistent cold calls claiming to offer services that stop nuisance or council tax-related calls, often demanding payment upfront for ineffective protection.

A lady phoned me claiming I was overpaying council tax due to the pandemic or something, and that she had permission from the council to sort it out. I told her I'd get in touch with the council on my own. She then just ended the call.

A lady called my missus at 12:26 today, asking to speak to whoever handles the council tax payments, maybe someone named Sharon. My missus said I was out and asked her to ring back in a couple of hours. Since then, there’s been no more calls. It’s obviously a scam so I’ve blocked the number and also reported it to the council.
Sharon

A woman called saying I had some sort of council tax refund. She started shouting at my missus, insisting on talking to me. When I asked her what council area she was from, she just said she didn’t know. Said something about a government scheme too. Then when I kept asking which council she was talking about, she just hung up. Seems like a total scam to me!

I've just received a call from this number from someone attempting to peddle a so-called LIFE LINE for both my wife and myself. When we indicated our disinterest, they kept pressing us for an explanation. My wife inquired about the price, which was over a hundred quid, but they offered to accept £50 upfront. We're well aware of these shady schemes, and it’s clear that their tactic is to lure you in with the low initial payment, making it easy for them to snaffle your financial details and drain your account. This number has previously contacted us regarding insurance claims, alongside other scams, so I strongly advise everyone to stay cautious and steer clear of these dodgy operations.

I was inquiring about a supposed claim regarding an accident, as my insurance provider had apparently notified her. The thing is, I don’t have my own car insurance - I’m covered under my husband’s policy. This led to a bit of a flare-up on my part, and I ended up telling them to shove off!

My bewildered mum has received multiple bothersome calls from this number, and in her confusion, she ended up sharing her bank details for what she believed was £69 to halt those pesky interruptions. I've attempted to get in touch with them, but they're not picking up. Just a heads-up to everyone-this is yet another scam in the wild!

Like I said earlier, this guy said my number was getting loads of cold calls, told me his name was Jacob and his number was 02038616398 - which matched the number on my phone. Then he started going on about some deal for £1.90 a month to help with it. When I refused and said I wouldn’t pay, he wanted my bank info and I just hung up.

Got a call from Micha who claimed she was aware I’d been getting annoying calls. She told me to note down her number and said she could stop the nuisance calls for £1.91 each month. There was also an option to pay £69 as a one-time fee. She asked me to confirm my name, address and postcode before inquiring about my bank. That’s when I ended the call.

Received a call today from the number mentioned regarding persistent nuisance calls. A woman on the other end claimed she was informed by several companies as well as my service provider. When I inquired about who exactly these companies were, she dismissed my question with a vague response. I pressed her for details and then expressed that I considered this an invasion of my privacy. It’s clearly a scam!

On Wednesday 4th January, I picked up a call from this number and let my automated message run. It basically says “we don’t recognise your number” and then goes on for about five minutes talking about all the spam calls and the possible legal stuff. Bit funny really.

I just got a call from this number saying the exact same stuff. The bloke on the phone repeated everything I’ve read here. When I asked where he got my info, it felt odd he was cold calling about stopping cold calls. I asked for his name and phone number and then the call suddenly dropped. Pretty suspicious, stay clear!!!

I received a call claiming that I needed to provide my banking information to subscribe to a service for £1.91 a month, aimed at reducing unwanted calls. We never share our financial details via phone, and upon seeing similar experiences shared by others, I feel incredibly relieved that we didn’t fall for it. Clearly, this is nothing more than a scam!

Got a call asking for some Mr ???, who’s never even lived here. We keep getting these annoying cold calls for him. When I asked who was on the line, they went all weird and said if I wasn’t Mr ??? then why was I asking. I’m feeling rubbish and had just got up when I picked up, so I lost my patience a bit. Afterwards, I got a voicemail calling me ‘not smart’. Proper rude!

Blimey, that was close! Got a call from a woman named Demi who claimed my info was on some list cos it had been passed around, and she could help stop all the annoying calls if I paid either £1.91 a month or a one-off £59 fee. It all sounded pretty convincing! When I told her I’d need to ask my husband and call her back, she cut the call straight away. That’s when I got suspicious and decided to look it up on this site.

He told me my number had been passed around to loads of businesses and I’d get loads of spam calls, but they could sort it out. I told him I’d never heard of them and wasn’t about to pay anything. He just went, ‘Alright then, bye,’ but didn’t actually hang up. Seemed like he wanted me to end the call, so he said ‘Bye, then’ again. I didn’t hang up, and eventually, he gave in and did it himself.

When I picked up, there was no one talking but you could hear chatting in the background. I used my call blocker and pressed the red button, so hopefully they won’t trouble me again. I really don’t get why some folks pay a monthly charge when you can grab a call blocker for around £20, or just use free stuff like t####er on your phone.

I recently received a call from this number, but when there was no immediate response, I hung up. To my surprise, they rang me back, accusing me of being rude for not letting her speak. When I pressed her for the purpose of the call, she simply asked for my partner. I inquired about her identity, but she refused to divulge that information and then abruptly ended the conversation. It’s quite amusing, isn’t it? Who’s really being impolite here? I must say, after glancing through the other comments on this site, I’m rather pleased I didn’t engage further.

The chap on the line introduced himself as Allen and inquired whether I was fed up with bothersome, unsolicited calls. When I nodded in agreement, he proceeded to mention that for a meagre monthly fee, he could put an end to all those pesky interruptions. At that juncture, I sensed something was off and firmly told him to do one - or rather, to take a dive into the nearest lake! I promptly ended the call. That number’s now firmly blocked on my landline.

Got another call from them this week, nice sounding young woman on the line. She said she could help block all the cold calls so I listened for a bit. She gave me a number to call back for more info - turned out to be the same one. Told her it sounded like a scam, but she said no way. Then I said she'd be after £1.90 a month plus my bank details, and she said only if I wanted to. I asked her to send me details in the post and she just hung up.

This number rang me and I told them straight away I don’t answer unknown numbers and asked nicely if they could delete my number so I wouldn’t get calls again. Instead, she kept talking over me while I was telling her to stop ringing me. We had a proper argument cause I didn’t want any more calls, then I just hung up. Barely a minute later, she rang back and was insisting I say sorry. When I asked her to apologise instead, she just ended the call. Very odd behaviour.

I’ve just had a rather peculiar call from someone named Ashlee Jones using this number. She claimed to be affiliated with a call prevention database and tried to rope me into a monthly fee of £1.91 for three years, totalling £71! When I expressed my reluctance to share my bank information over the phone, she rather politely bombarded me with nonsense about why mail communication isn’t reliable. Then she insisted I call back to arrange a direct debit. Quite the cheek, isn’t it?

Got a call from someone named Allen just before 1pm today. He was trying to sell a service that would remove our details from some database that’s apparently being shared around. Cost was £1.91 a month or £69 for three years. When we asked why he’d called us since we’re already on the TPS, he couldn’t give a proper answer. We told him we weren’t interested.

They kept ringing my elderly mum, who gets annoyed by these calls all the time. I was a bit worried at first but after going through the info, mum mentioned the calls have actually started to lessen.

What a dodgy situation! It’s definitely a scam. My bank has all the necessary details and they promptly blocked my card. They called me up and even left a voicemail about a £70 transaction that didn’t go through. The fraudster claimed it would only cost me £1.91 a month to prevent those pesky nuisance calls. Whatever you do, don’t share any banking information over the phone! They really had me on the verge of falling for it.

I received a call from this number earlier today. Fortunately, my phone has a nuisance call filter, which intercepted it right away. It seems that there have been quite a few complaints about this number for my device to recognise it so swiftly! I’d recommend staying clear of it.

This number just rang me out of the blue offering to help me block cold calls. When I asked where they got my contact from, they said it was listed with them.

I'm on the TPS list but still got a call from them. Had a short chat with a woman who sounded English. I told her I was on TPS and that it was illegal for her to call me, so she shouldn't call again. She quickly replied she was calling about nuisance calls, then hung up. Pretty sure she was just going to try and sell me something to stop nuisance calls, even though she was one herself. From what I've seen, all 0203 numbers tend to be nothing but trouble.

I received a call from this number last week and, at first, it seemed rather promising to halt any further communication. However, things took a turn when she requested my debit card information. I expressed my reluctance, and she suggested I contact their company for verification-though, I noted, it was an identical number which seemed rather pointless. Then she mentioned that I’d have to ring my bank to authorise any payment if I gave in to her request, which immediately set off alarm bells in my head. I promptly ended the call and reached out to the police, who informed me that it was indeed a scam and advised me against engaging with them. I’m quite frustrated with myself for allowing her to take up so much of my time trying to persuade me. Just a heads-up to others: stay vigilant!

They promised to put an end to the annoying calls, but as soon as I told them I wasn’t gonna pay, they just slammed down the phone! They’ve called me more than once before, and honestly they’re just as frustrating as the bloody nuisance callers themselves! Proper pain in the neck!

Got a call from Jacob, real polite bloke, offering to block all those annoying calls for £1.90 a month over three years. I told him I get loads of calls like that and don’t trust cold callers anymore, including him, and all I have to do is just hang up, for free. He said thanks nicely, said goodbye, and hung up. It’s a pity all that nice manners were used trying to scam an old lady. I’m a proud nan of three honest, hardworking lads - Jacob, why not find a proper job, stop targeting innocent folks, and make your nan proud instead?

This number kept ringing me up trying to give legal advice about something that was already sorted. After telling them loads of times to stop and take me off their list, I asked them nicely to remove my details. Then, the very next day, I got a call about stopping nuisance calls for £2 a month. When I looked into it, it turned out it was the same number from before! Total SCAM, in big bold letters. Watch out for this one.

I recently received a rather unexpected phone call from someone named Natasha, who claimed she could put an end to all my unwanted calls. Naturally, I was intrigued and queried how she managed to obtain my unpublished number. Strangely, she couldn't provide a satisfactory explanation. I couldn't help but wonder why she would take such an interest in stopping my nuisance calls; it certainly sounded fishy to me, possibly a ruse to extract some cash. From what I've seen, it appears they might be conning folks out of £69! Thankfully, I decided to hang up before getting any further involved, especially after the website warned that it was dodgy!

Got a ring from a lady saying she could help block spam calls. When I asked which company she was with, she just ended the call straight away. Definitely a dodgy one, watch out.

I received a call from this number inquiring about my husband. When I informed them he wasn’t available, they simply disconnected! How incredibly disrespectful. We’re on the TPS list and will be lodging a complaint against this number. Does anyone happen to know which company this is?

I had a rather strange experience today when a woman rang me looking for my details, but fortunately, my phone decided to cut out on me mid-call. I nearly dialled her back, especially since it was an 0203 number, but something held me back. Instead, I took a moment to investigate, which led me to your website packed with numerous unsettling reviews. Frankly, I deem this a form of harassment, and it's high time these firms faced some serious scrutiny and penalties.

I received a call from this number the other day and spoke to a lovely woman named Sandy. She was absolutely fantastic-so courteous and really attentive to my needs! She helped me organise the service for just £69 over a three-year period. Now, a month and a half on, I can confidently say I’ve been enjoying some blissful silence on my landline. What a relief!

Received a ring from this number the other day; a lovely lady named Sandy was on the other end. She was absolutely fantastic-so courteous and really keen to assist. I ended up signing up for the service, which cost me £69 for three years. It’s now been about a month and a half, and I can honestly say I’m enjoying blissful silence on my landline. What a relief!

Got a call from this number, a woman named Sandy answered. She was really nice, polite and helped me sort everything out. I signed up for the service, £69 for three years. It's been about 6 weeks now, and I can honestly say my landline has been so much quieter since then.

Isn't it a bit of a laugh? A telemarketer ringing me up to see if I wanted to prevent calls just like theirs!

This number rang me at 11:10 today, asking for my wife. When I asked who was on the line, the woman launched into a spiel about unwanted calls. I told her she was just a telemarketer charging people to block telemarketers. She insisted she doesn't offer anything for free. I repeated that she was just a cold caller wanting money to stop cold calls. She got annoyed, told me to believe what I wanted, and then hung up.

This morning, precisely at 11:10, I received a call from this number inquiring after my wife. When I questioned the identity of the caller, she launched into a lengthy pitch regarding unwanted calls. I pointed out that she was simply a cold caller herself, trying to impose a charge for a service that claims to eliminate such calls. She retorted, insisting that nothing comes for free. I reiterated my point, emphasising that she was indeed a cold caller, proposing a fee for stopping cold calls. In a huff, she snapped back and hung up, leaving me bemused.

Had a call similar to what’s been mentioned, trying to persuade me to subscribe for £1.39 a month to stop nuisance calls. They insisted everything was legit and said they’d post me all their company info and that I’d get a 14 day cancellation period. I told them no thanks, I want to look into your business first before signing up. They were alright about it, but I’m still not handing over my card details. Honestly, all I’m asking for this Christmas is a decent call blocker.

I asked why they weren’t on the TPS list. They said “TPS is useless and we do call blocking for annoying calls.” I told them THEY were the annoying call and hung up. Felt good to put them in their place! Total scam.

Received a phone call from this number earlier today. The individual on the line started going on about nuisance calls, and I initially assumed they were affiliated with the Telephone Preference Service. However, things took a turn when they inquired about which credit card I'd prefer to use for a supposed monthly fee of either £1.75 or £1.95 - honestly, I can't recall the exact figure now. To top it off, they claimed that the TPS has ceased being free. At that juncture, I made it clear I had no inclination to proceed with whatever they were offering.

Got a call on my phone earlier, this bloke says he can stop annoying calls on my landline. I told him I don't really get those on my landline, he insisted that I must. I replied I only get rubbish calls like this on my mobile. Then he just said “Alright then, have a good one - you miserable old cow!” Honestly, I found it quite amusing!

Got a call on my BT8610 Call Blocker, which I picked up for under £80. Caller probably wouldn’t say their name, so I just blocked them straight away. They’re banned for good now! Another nuisance sorted!

When I was questioned about whether I was still receiving nuisance calls, I confirmed that I indeed was.

Some woman named 'Jade' rang my dad who’s getting on a bit, saying he owed her £89 to stop bothersome calls. Sadly, he gave her his card info and £89 got taken straight from his bank. He wrote down the number she called from, but when I tried ringing it to sort it out, I was just left on hold and never spoke to anyone. Dad’s been on the TPS list ages, so I’m really puzzled how they even got hold of his number and name in the first place.

How amusing is it that they were asking for £69 just to shield oneself from pesky cold callers for a mere three years? Quite the cheek!

Somebody named "Shannon" phoned my 90-year-old dad who has dementia - he's on the TPS list - and tried to trick him out of his bank info. Luckily, his carer got there in time and ended the call. I reported it to the ICO, but as usual, nothing seems to come of it!

He said he could put an end to the annoying calls but asked for my bank details to take a monthly direct debit of £1.98. I can’t help but think if I’d handed over my details, things would’ve turned bad. He got quite defensive when I asked who exactly he was. Totally a scam, no doubt about it.

i might be wrong about the bloke, but it all felt a bit iffy, he said he was going to add us to some list to block annoying calls, knew my name which caught me off guard. asked if we’ve been getting loads of spam calls and i said yeah, then he brought up that database thing, i just thought it was a scam and ended the call!
