02078700199 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02078700199 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance caller frequently associated with automated or silent calls, often ending with a robotic "goodbye" and immediate hang-up. Callers sometimes claim to represent organisations like "Customer Lifestyle" or offer alleged bank refund services, including PPI refunds, but provide no legitimate company details and often refuse to identify themselves properly. Many recipients are registered with the Telephone Preference Service or have ex-directory numbers, yet these calls continue at various times, including evenings. Attempts to call back the number often result in automated messages stating the service is unavailable. The calls cause distress, especially to vulnerable individuals, and despite multiple complaints to authorities and providers, the issue remains unresolved. Blocking and call barring are common user strategies, though the nuisance persists.

I received a call that went silent for about ten seconds before a robotic female voice piped up with a "goodbye" and promptly disconnected. Quite baffling, if you ask me!

Got a call from this number earlier in the day, and all I heard was a recorded female voice saying ‘goodbye’ before the line disconnected. Quite annoying, to say the least!

I've received numerous calls recently, and it's quite vexing. Each time, there’s just a frustrating silence, then a synthetic female voice bids me farewell before hanging up. It’s absolutely maddening! I thought we were meant to be on the Telephone Preference List.

I've received multiple calls from this number, and all I hear is a dismissive "Goodbye" before they cut off. It’s incredibly irritating! Is there any way to put an end to these pesky calls?

We recently received a call from a number linked to something called "customer lifestyle." Strangely, they mentioned our surname, even though this is our work landline. It all felt rather odd, to be honest.

Earlier today, on the 7th of June, 2013 around 3.04 PM, I received an unusual call. A woman's voice simply said "Goodbye" before the line went dead. Curiosity got the better of me, so I dialled 1471 to trace the number. It turned out to be 02078700199. Upon calling back, I was greeted with a woman's voice stating, "Apologies! This service is no longer in operation." Quite baffling, I must say!

I’m absolutely fed up with this number that keeps ringing me! It's been happening daily, and I'm starting to lose my patience. Every time they call, I'm either busy or just can't pick up in time. Honestly, I'm just pleading for them to leave me alone! I can't fathom how they got hold of my details, especially since I'm registered with TPS and my number is ex-directory. It's baffling and downright frustrating!

I answered my phone around 9 in the evening, and after a brief silence, I heard a pre-recorded voice simply say, “goodbye,” before the call ended abruptly. Quite bizarre, really.

I keep receiving calls from the number 0207 870 0199, and every time I attempt to return the call, I’m met with a robotic voice saying, "This service is no longer available." It's becoming quite bothersome, to say the least!

I've received three calls from this number, and each time there's about a ten-second pause before someone says, "you're going to die," or something like that. It’s a bit unsettling, to say the least. I'm hard of hearing, so the whole situation is rather perplexing. The number in question is 0207879199. Seems like I'm not the only one receiving these strange messages!

I've observed that these peculiar phone numbers, which I generally tends to disregard, display a curious behaviour. When you answer the call but choose to remain silent, the caller does the same and doesn’t utter a word. That’s precisely what just transpired! Since I've got call barring in place, I’ve gleaned what others have mentioned about this number, and I’ve made my decision - it’s time to block it.

I had recently sent an email inquiry to an office in London, so when my phone rang with a number that appeared to be from the same area, I naturally presumed it related to my request. A lady named Sam introduced herself and rather abruptly mentioned that my bank had a refund due to me. I’d just placed my phone beside my radio, tuned into Radio 4, and before I could gather my thoughts, Sam hung up. What an absolute bother! This nonsense really needs to come to an end.

I received a rather annoying phone call claiming I had some funds due to me regarding Payment Protection Insurance. The problem is, I've never had any such insurance! I informed them that my number is on the Telephone Preference Service list and requested the company's full details so that I could lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office. They outright refused to give me any more information, simply stating they would "document my comments." I've gone ahead and submitted a complaint on the ICO’s website, so now it's a waiting game to see how that unfolds...

I entered the number directly into my computer and, to my surprise, was met with a message three times stating that the broadband connection was unsuccessful. After a brief pause, I gave it another go and, luckily, it worked without a hitch. However, when I did manage to speak to someone, they were rather hard to hear, so I decided to hang up rather than struggle through the call.

My mother-in-law received a call from this number claiming that she and my father-in-law were facing bankruptcy and that they required their banking information. They’re in their seventies, for goodness' sake! I'm absolutely livid. With my mother-in-law already unwell, she certainly doesn’t need this unnecessary pressure piled on top. It’s utterly outrageous!

I received a call from this number earlier today. A woman, who seemed to be of Asian descent, started to speak, but I cut the line since I recognised that annoying long pause typical of spam calls. After a moment, I decided to return the call, realising I was waiting for a call from London. It rang endlessly, around twenty times, but nobody picked up.

We're constantly being plagued by bothersome calls, so we've stopped picking up our home phone and refrain from sharing the number. Just now, this number rang incessantly for a good five minutes before I finally hung up in frustration! It's incredibly irritating, especially considering I had just managed to get my little one to sleep.

Not long ago, I received a call from a lady of Asian descent who absurdly claimed, "You've been getting nuisance calls, so please fill out this 15-minute survey, and then the calls will cease." As I hadn’t actually experienced any such disturbances up to that moment, I pointed out that she was, in fact, the sole nuisance on the line. I perceived her words as quite menacing, trying to pressure me into divulging personal information unlawfully. I've since lodged a complaint with the ICO, but they seem rather inept, as I continue to be plagued by those irritating automated "goodbye" calls.

I received a call from this number earlier, and all I heard was the word "goodbye." Strangely enough, they didn’t end the call after that. Today happens to be my late mum’s birthday, and given that she only passed away a few weeks back, this has really shaken me up.

This number has been ringing me repeatedly, at any time of day or night. When I pick up, it’s eerily silent, and then it hangs up with an automated “goodbye.” Does anyone know how I can put a stop to these annoying calls?
13 years
These callers seem to choose the most inconvenient times to ring, and it’s always the same robotic “goodbye” before they hang up on me. Attempting to return the call is futile, as the number isn’t in service. In the past, I've dealt with a similar situation, but that number allowed for callbacks. So, in retaliation, I took a leaf out of their book-I called them back and dropped a quick “goodbye” 20 times within a mere five minutes. I explained that I had received the same treatment from them, and miraculously, they removed me from their list and ceased calling me altogether. Unfortunately, this new number doesn’t offer me the same opportunity for a bit of payback.

I received three calls today. I ignored the first two and checked the number with 1471. When the third call came through, I answered it, thinking it might be the person I was waiting to hear from. To my dismay, it was a representative from Lifestyle claiming I had a bank refund waiting for me, and they had an Indian accent. Honestly, I’m absolutely fed up with these nuisance calls!

I've been receiving calls from this number twice daily for a whole week now. Finally, I decided to pick up and all I got was a robotic voice that simply said, 'Goodbye.' Quite odd! Can anyone assist me in blocking this number?

They seemed to know my complete name and claimed to be ringing from a place called Lifestyle. I was rather perplexed as my phone number is meant to be unlisted, so I quizzed them on how they acquired it. When I mentioned my intent to involve the police, she chuckled dismissively.

Greetings,

This is Richard from Mumbai reaching out to you (audio unclear), regarding a refund that you are due from your banking institution.

Pardon? Which bank are you referring to? I’ve got accounts with two different banks.

I’m Richard hailing from Bradford, and I’ve got news that your bank needs to issue you a refund.

Oh, splendid! How much are we talking about here?

Typically, it’s in the ballpark of £2000.

Fantastic, just pop a cheque in the post and I’ll start planning my getaway.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Is anyone there? Richard, can you hear me?

I've been plagued by calls from this number day in and day out for the past fortnight, and not a single message has graced my answering machine. Today, I managed to pick up just in time (3pm, Monday 18th August 2013) only to be met with an automated voice that simply said “goodbye” before hanging up. It’s quite frustrating, especially since I’ve registered with the Telephone Preference Service to avoid such disturbances. While I have no issue with receiving marketing calls per se, it’s only polite for callers to leave a message or engage in conversation when I do answer. Typically, I record these calls on sites like this one, but I can’t help but wonder what impact that truly has. Is there anyone genuinely addressing the rampant number of complaints out there?

I've been getting constant calls from this number, and it's driving me quite mad! Whenever I pick up, there's nothing but silence on the other end. I'm on the ex-directory list, and I've done my part by registering to block unwanted calls, so I'm a bit baffled as to why BT isn't sorting this out.

It seems that my phone log has noted these individuals reaching out to me a couple of times today, as well as twice yesterday, once on the day prior to that, and previously on a couple of occasions in early August and mid-July. Unfortunately, my device doesn’t save calls that go further back than that. I've been registered with the Telephone Preference Service and have recently opted for ex-directory status in a bid to dodge new callers once the next directory is published. As others have mentioned, given that this is a UK-based number, why on earth isn’t BT taking action to terminate it?

They refer to themselves as 'customer lifestyles' and claim they're ringing up because you could be entitled to a bank refund. Then they say, "Before we go any further, could you please verify your address is still........." At that moment, it's best to just hang up! It's vital not to disclose any personal details to random callers. I’m registered with the Telephone Preference Service, yet those unsolicited calls keep coming through.

When I dial 1471 to find out who's behind it, the same number pops up each time! It’s getting really frustrating, and considering I don’t even know who they are but they somehow have my number is rather unsettling. I do think it’s time to take some action, as the thought of chucking the landline altogether has crossed my mind more than once. This really ought to be sorted out!

It's absolutely infuriating how these firms latch onto anyone's misfortunes, isn’t it?
