The overall consensus warns of a high-risk scam operation exploiting trust in telecom brands and urges reporting through official channels and regulatory bodies.

I'm constantly getting calls from random numbers I dont reconise. The TPS should really step up and do something about it instead of just sitting on their hands! With the tech these days, it cant be that hard to stop all the fake numbers from ringing through. Come on TPS, do your job and stop wasting our time!

02080506297 was buzzing this morning, 7th February 2024. An Indian-accented lady claimed to be from Virgin Media. I tend to hang up straight away since I've ditched Virgin ages ago! Unfortunately, I answered the call by accident this time.

This morning (7th Feb 2024) at about 7:57, I got a call from 02080506297. I didn't pick up and there was no voicemail left. I checked this number here and found out it's linked to scams, so I've just gone ahead and blocked it on my phone.

Got several calls from different numbers all starting with 02 around 7:19 to 9:22. The numbers that kept popping up were 02080506297, 02922643259, and 02081299292. Each time the phone rang just once before getting cut off. Definitely dodgy calls, I'd say stay clear of those.

They claimed I was owed a refund for some electrical goods and just needed my bank info to send the payment. I played along, keeping both him and his 'manager' talking for about 10 minutes before they eventually hung up. Fingers crossed this stops a few others from falling for the same thing.

This morning got a call on my landline from 020 8050 6297. Picked up and it was a woman with an Asian accent saying she was calling from Sky about my broadband speed. She asked if I knew how to test it, but when I told her I’m not a Sky customer, she said they also assist Virgin customers and such. Seemed fishy, so I just ended the call. Definitely a scam.

Got a call from a woman with an Asian accent claiming I was owed £149 back on some electrical goods. I kept asking her which appliances exactly, but she just kept repeating “electrical appliances” without giving any details. This back-and-forth dragged on for a few minutes. Eventually she asked if I wanted the refund or not. I said no, so she told me to stop wasting her time. I fired back saying she was the one wasting mine, and then she just hung up on me. Proper waste of time that was.

Some bloke said he was from BT about my broadband, but when I asked for proof, he threw me a code with a bunch of random letters and digits, plus a name that made no sense at all.

A woman with an Asian accent rang me, said she was from some telecom company or somthin. When I asked what the call was about, she just hung up straight away.
