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!

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 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!

Lately, I've been getting calls from weird numbers and I normally just let them ring out. But today I answered and kept quiet, and the person on the other end didn’t say a thing either. I've got call barring set up anyway, so after checking what others had to say about it, I'm just gonna block that number straight away.

Every night around 8:25 pm, this number calls my old number listed in the directory. There's a recorded female voice that just says "goodbye" and then the call ends. It's a bit strange.

I’d just sent an email to an office in London, so when a call came through from what looked like a London number, I figured it was about my query. A woman named Sam answered and soon started chatting about my bank owing me money back. I wasn't really interested, so I put the phone down beside my radio which was playing Radio 4, and after a while, Sam just gave up and ended the call. What a pain, these calls really need to be stopped.

Got a call from them saying I was due a payout for PPI, which is rubbish as I’ve never had any. Told them my number’s on the TPS list and asked them to give me their full company info so I could report them to the Information Commissioner’s Office. They wouldn’t give me any details, just said they’d "take note of my complaint". I’ve submitted a report through the ICO site now - let’s wait and see what happens...

I punched the number into my computer and it came up with an error saying the broadband couldn’t connect, not once but three times. After waiting a bit, I tried again and it worked fine. The people on the other end spoke, but I could barely make out what they were saying, so I ended up hanging up.

This number called my mother in law claiming that she and my father in law had gone bankrupt and asking for their bank information. They’re both in their seventies. It really got me mad. My mother in law isn’t well, and she definitely didn’t need that kind of worry on top of everything else.

I got a call from this number earlier today. A woman with what sounded like an Asian accent started speaking, but I cut off the call after that usual annoying silence these spam calls have. Later, I called back because I’d just recalled I was waiting on a phone call from London. The phone rang something like 20 times but no one picked up.

We get annoying calls quite often, so we never pick up the house phone or share the number. This particular number just called me, and it kept ringing for like 5 minutes before I finally hung up! Proper irritating, especially since I've just settled my newborn to sleep.

Got a call a few weeks ago from a lady with an Asian accent. She said I was getting nuisance calls and if I did a 15 minute survey, they’d stop. Thing is, I hadn’t actually had any nuisance calls before that. I told her she was the only pest bothering me and that her offer felt like a threat, trying to pressure me into giving info she shouldn’t have. I ended up reporting it to the ICO, but they didn’t help at all. Since then, I’ve just been getting loads of those typical recorded "goodbye" nuisance calls nonstop.

They ring at the most irritating times and it’s always some automated voice saying "goodbye" before hanging up on me. Trying to return the call is useless since the number isn’t even active anymore. I had a similar experience before with another number, but that one could be called back. So I played the same game - I kept ringing them and saying goodbye repeatedly, like 20 times within 5 minutes. I told them I was just returning the favour. After that, they took me off their list and never bothered me again. Sadly, can’t do that with this new number.

Got three calls from this number today. Ignored the first two, but after not recognising the number, I got curious and dialled 1471. The third call I picked up because I was waiting on another call. Turns out it was someone from Lifestyle, with an Indian accent claiming I was owed money from my bank. Honestly, I’m sick of getting these kinds of calls all the time.

She called claiming to be from Lifestyle and knew my full name right off the bat. I asked how she got my number since it’s not listed anywhere. When I told her I’d be reporting the call to the police, she just laughed.

Hi there, it's Richard from Mumbai here, ringing about a refund you should be getting from your bank.

Which one? I have a couple of accounts.

Ah, yes, this is Richard calling from Bradford, and your bank is due to pay you back.

Oh, that's good news! How much are we talking?

Generally, about two grand.

Brilliant, just send me a cheque then and I’ll start planning my holiday.

This number has been ringing me daily for a couple of weeks now, yet I never get a voicemail. Today, I finally picked up (around 3pm on Monday 18-Aug-13), only to get some robotic voice saying "goodbye" before hanging up. I’m on the TPS, so it’s pretty frustrating that these calls keep coming through. I don’t mind telemarketing calls really, but it’d be nice if they at least left a message or spoke to me when I answer. Whenever I can, I log these nuisance calls on sites like this, but I’m not convinced it leads to anything being done. Does anyone know if all these complaints actually get looked at?

I've had this number ringing me non-stop. Every time I pick up, there's nothing but silence. I'm on the ex-directory list and all those annoying call blocking registers, yet BT lets it through. They charge us for good service, but clearly they don't deliver. What’s going on?
BT

My phone shows they've rung me just now, a couple of times the last two days, once on the 7th of August, the 6th, and back on 18th July too. It doesn’t save calls older than that. I’m registered with the TPS and recently made my number ex-directory to stop new listings - hoping it helps with fresh releases. Like others mentioned, this is a UK number so why on earth doesn't BT just block it altogether?

They say they're from 'customer life styles' and claim they're ringing to tell you that you might qualify for a bank refund. Then they ask if your address is still the same, something like "is your address still..." and that's when I just put the phone down! Never give personal details to someone you don’t know on the phone. I’m signed up to the Telephone Preference Service but it doesn’t seem to make a difference, these calls keep coming.

No idea who owns this number but it’s really annoying me lately. Every time I answer my phone, no one’s there, and when I check with 1471, this exact number shows up each time. I have no clue who they are and it worries me that they have my number. This has got to stop because it’s making me think about getting rid of my landline altogether, which shouldn’t even be a thing. Something needs to be done about this!

I’ve lost count of how many times these people have rung me up… usually it’s some foreign-sounding voice claiming to be from consumer lifestyle. I always say no thanks, I’m not interested. About a month ago, a woman answered, and even after I politely refused, she just wouldn’t stop. She even mentioned the call was being recorded but carried on regardless. In the end, I just said again I wasn’t interested and hung up. Then, only a couple of minutes later, she called back and just said I’d be getting a yellow envelope before hanging up. Sure enough, the next week a yellow envelope turned up, which I chucked straight in the bin, yet the calls kept coming. Just last night, an English lady phoned and I told her I’d already made it clear to everyone I wasn’t interested, she said sorry and promised to remove my number from the list. Well, guess what? Ten minutes ago I got a call from the same woman who first rang me four weeks ago. I just put the phone down on her.

I just had a bloke ring me up saying he could sort a refund for my so-called mis-sold PPI. Thought I’d play along a bit and told him he’d better double-check his files, ‘cause I’m certain I never had any PPI. He sounded proper stunned! These firms who jump on that bandwagon really wind me up. Actually, I know some folks who work the other side, dealing with the endless false PPI claims these companies send through for people who also never had it. It’s a total nightmare for them!

I’m on the TPS and my number’s ex-directory!
