02038835957 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02038835957 👆 is reported as a persistent and intrusive spam number linked to various scams claiming to be from council housing repair teams or mobile providers like O2. Callers often display unfamiliar accents and pressure recipients with offers of insurance, phone deals, or debt management services, frequently seeking personal details. Many recipients report silent calls, hang-ups when challenged, or no message left on voicemail. Some users experienced repeated calls, calls referencing tenancy or social housing despite not being tenants, and suspicious tactics such as asking for outdated names. Overall, this number is strongly associated with fraudulent activity and harassment, with most advisories recommending not to answer, to block immediately, and to avoid sharing personal information.

Got a call from someone who somehow knew my name, claiming they were ringing from Birmingham, even though I’m based in London. He said he worked with different councils to speed up repairs for tenants, so we didn’t have to hang about waiting for the council. Claimed it wouldn’t cost me a penny. Didn’t feel right though, seemed too eager and a bit forceful, so I just told him no thanks and hung up. Feels like he might be after some sort of commission or bonus.

They said they were selling life insurance, and honestly, I thought it was a bit dodgy. They even passed me between a couple of folks, which made it seem more legit. One of them claimed to be an adviser from Devon, so it sounded convincing at first.

Usually, I don’t answer calls from numbers I don’t recognise, but because it was in the middle of school hours, I thought I’d give it a go. A lady with a South Asian accent, who spoke English pretty well but it was clear it wasn’t her first language, was on the line asking me about life insurance. The moment she mentioned life insurance, I cut her off with a polite “No thanks, I’m not interested” then quickly ended the call and put her number on my block list.

Got a call from a London number I didn't recognise and I just ignored it straight away and blocked it. I’ve come to realise these random calls are just annoying spam or scams, totally pointless and nobody needs that hassle. I'm sick of getting them constantly every day. I don't pick up unless I know who's calling now, I just block anything dodgy. Honestly, these companies should be banned for good. Watch out and don't fall for their tricks.

Answered the phone and a woman named Ciara said she was from some housing department, didn’t say which company or anything. She said it was about council tenants. I told her I live in a privately rented place, not council housing, but she kept asking stuff about how the property was kept. Got fed up and hung up.

After I made my report, I rang O2 on 202 and ended up chatting with a guy from India for a bit. Honestly, I’m still not sure what’s going on because it sounds like iconnect might just be a middleman handing you over to O2. But why do they do that? Either way, be careful out there, folks.

They gave me a ring and I answered. They were asking about my place and if anything was broken or needed fixing. I said they should be dealing with my landlord about that. Then I told them straight up it sounded dodgy and none of their business. Definitely a scam. Total housing scam.

This one was really odd. Like lots of others mentioned here, I got a call supposedly about some O2 money saving deal, and the person sounded Asian. I decided to humour them, giving out made-up info until they said they'd get a Senior Advisor to ring me back. Not long after, someone from Manchester called me on 01617683231, speaking with a proper accent, and from what I picked up, they seemed like a genuine O2 new business advisor - maybe about 90% sure. The first caller felt almost certainly a scam, like 99.9%, but the second one was weirdly convincing. Quite strange experience overall!

So this person called me using my maiden name, which I hardly ever get called by since I got married like seven years back, so I was kinda suspicious right away. They said they were from o2 and were trying to tempt me with free calls, texts and data or something. I told them I wasn’t interested and just ended the call.

I've been plagued by these dodgy calls, can't even count how many I've received-at least five, I reckon. Most of them were silent, save for the last one. There's absolutely no chance this is a genuine London number; it has that typical, frantic vibe of a call centre in India. They were prattling on about my O2 contract, but I decided to have a bit of fun and pretended to be completely clueless. Managed to keep them on the line for nearly twenty minutes while I was stuck in a wretched traffic snarl on the M25 (I was just the passenger, mind you). They abruptly hung up when I mentioned I was a witch doctor who curses my foes. Quite amusing, really!

Got two calls from this number on consecutive days. Both times it was someone speaking with an Indian accent, yet they insisted they had English names and were ringing from London. I'm pretty sure they were actually calling from somewhere near Delhi, maybe Gurgaon. The first was a lady saying she was with a company called Iconnect, the second caller said they were from O2. They both seemed to know my name and that I have an O2 account. I didn’t hang around long, but it was obvious they were up to no good.

Got a call today from someone saying they were O2 offering some kind of promotion.

I ended the call and blocked the number straight away.

I got a call from someone saying they were with o2 and had some 'great offers' for me. Oddly, they already knew my last name. They kept going on a bit too much, like saying things were 'absolutely fantastic'. The guy had a really British name, which I found a bit strange since he didn't sound local at all - not that that’s a problem, but it added to my suspicion. There was just this vibe about the way he spoke that didn’t sit right with me, felt like a scam or something dodgy.

Whenever I get a call from an unknown number, I always make sure to look it up first. This was no exception. The phone rang but I chose not to pick up. From what I can tell, it seems like just another scam attempt. If they ring me again, I plan to keep the call going for at least a couple of hours so they can't bug anyone else. I’m certain that if it was something important, they’d try again anyway.
