02045205138 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02045205138 👆 is reported as a persistent scam call originating from overseas call centres, often claiming to represent well-known UK retailers like Carphone Warehouse, Currys PC World, or Virgin Media. Callers offer implausible deals on phones or broadband, pressuring recipients for immediate responses and personal information. Many have experienced repeated, harassing calls from multiple similar numbers, with some callers hanging up aggressively when challenged. Blocking tends to be ineffective due to number spoofing and rapid number changes. Users are strongly advised not to engage, to block, and to report all incidents to the UK’s Action Fraud and the ICO. Raising awareness with MPs about introducing preventative technology in the phone industry is also recommended to combat these sophisticated scam operations.

Getting nonstop calls from some call centre in India... they're seriously bugging us. We've taken it up with the ICO!

Fraudulent activity - attempted to pitch a phone deal.

SCAM ALERT - The guy claimed he was from Carphone Warehouse. I've fallen for that one before, so I didn’t buy it this time. When I said I wasn’t convinced, he acted like he was shocked. I told him I’d been done over by scammers like him before. Then he told me to get lost and hung up. Not long after, I got a call from nearly the same number, just a couple of digits changed at the end, but I ignored it.

This number kept ringing me loads of times, claiming to be from Currys PC World and trying to sell me a broadband and SIM card deal that seemed way off and too good to be real. They kept switching numbers to call me again and again, which felt really pushy and annoying. They wanted me to answer straight away like it was urgent. Honestly, I wouldn’t pick up if I was you - block it and report the lot, it smells like a proper scam!

Absolutely dodgy number, instant block from me.

Got a call from someone claiming to be from Curry's PC World offering a deal on an iPhone 12 - something like £25 a month for two years with unlimited texts, calls, and data, saying they wanted to upgrade my contract. It sounded a bit fishy to me since new phone contracts for the latest models usually start at around £30 a month or more. Plus, as far as I know, Curry's normally only sell the phones themselves; they don’t actually handle contract deals unless you visit the store in person. So yeah, pretty sure this was a dodgy call.

This number keeps ringing me non stop! Whenever I pick up, there's always a buzzing call centre on the other end. No clue who they are but it’s so frustrating how often they call!

Some person called claiming they worked for a phone company and told me because I’m a reliable customer who pays on time, I deserve a discount. Then they said they'd pass me on to someone who could explain everything further. Totally a SCAM.

Received a call purporting to be from the Carphone Warehouse, where a gentleman with a distinct Indian accent was touting various mobile phone offers. Some of the deals he presented were downright astonishingly low. Honestly, they sounded almost too good to be genuine.

Got a call from some geezer claiming I could nab a bargain iPhone 13 from "carphone warehouse". Had a laugh with him, played along and then asked straight up if it was a dodgy deal. He just ended the call sharpish, which said it all really.

I received a call purporting to be from Carphone Warehouse, and they rattled on about some random iPhone offer. However, as soon as they clocked that I was actually on the line, they hung up without a word. Definitely gives off scam vibes! The whole thing felt like it was coming from an Indian call centre, too. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!

FRAUD ALERT - Received a call purporting to be from Carphone Warehouse. The accent sounded distinctly like it was from a call centre in India or possibly somewhere in Southeast Asia. Best to steer clear of answering these calls!

A chap with a rather baffling name asserted he was representing Carphone Warehouse. To be honest, it felt just like another dodgy scam call if you ask me.

Utterly dodgy! To be honest, I couldn't quite make sense of most of the rambling the caller was on about, but the moment I detected that unmistakable Indian accent, I lost all interest. They were probing me with personal questions, and I flatly refused to engage. When they pressed me for a reason, I simply stated it was because they were clearly trying to pull a fast one. The caller insisted they weren't up to any mischief and even offered to provide a company’s number for verification. I told them not to waste my precious time, mentioning that if it was something genuinely urgent, there were far better ways to get in touch. Despite asking them to refrain from calling me again three times, I eventually had to cut them off mid-sentence as they continued their futile attempts to persuade me.
