Phone number ☎️ 02080506297 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number frequently targeting UK landlines and mobiles with cold calls impersonating BT, Sky, Virgin Media, and refund offers for nonexistent appliance insurance.

Many victims experience repeated hang-ups, silent calls, or automated messages, with no legitimate service verification provided. The number is linked to multiple spoofing and nuisance call complaints, often displaying call centre background noise and scripted interaction. Users strongly advise not answering unknown calls, never sharing information, and blocking the number. The overall consensus warns of a high-risk scam operation exploiting trust in telecom brands and urges reporting through official channels and regulatory bodies.

3 yearsI'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!Telephone Preference ServiceTPS3 yearsThis morning, 07-02-2024, I got a call from 02080506297. The woman on the line sounded Indian and claimed to be from Virgin Media. I accidentally answered but quickly ended the call since I haven't been a Virgin Media customer for yonks!Virgin MediaVirgin3 yearsPhone rang at 8 in the morning, answered it then they just hung up straight away.3 yearsThis 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.3 yearsMy landline rang around 8:03 this morning, it went off after a few rings, maybe three or four, but they didn’t bother leaving a message.3 yearsGot 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.3 yearsI was a bit wary, so I decided not to pick up.3 yearsThey 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.3 yearsThis 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.SkyVirgin3 yearsYep, it's that BT internet scam popping up once more!BT3 yearsWhen I picked up the call, I gave a little cough, and they just hung up straight away. It was on the 6th of Feb around 4:20 in the afternoon. I've blocked the number since then.3 yearsGot a call from an unfamiliar number today.

Total scam, I reckon.Virgin Media3 yearsSupposedly, she claimed to be calling from EE, but it was all fake.EE3 yearsGot 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.3 yearsI picked up the phone on my landline but there was no one on the other end when I tried to respond.3 yearsGot a call around quarter past nine in the morning, it rang a few times like three then suddenly dropped, but when I picked up there was nobody there.3 yearsLooks like just another BT scam to me.BT3 yearsSomeone rang me up saying they were from BTinternet and that my wifi was having issues because the connection kept cutting out. I told them I didn’t even use wifi, but they insisted I did and even mentioned the street I live on. Bit creepy if you ask me.3 yearsI've had two calls now about my BT internet acting up. They asked if I could sit in front of my computer so they could fix it, but I just ended the call.3 yearsThe call dropped as soon as they said I’d been charged £149 extra. There was loads of noise in the background, like people shouting and phones ringing. The person on the line spoke Chinese, not English.3 yearsMy home phone rang at 8:10 this morning but they didn’t bother to leave a voicemail.3 yearsSupposedly sent by3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming they were giving me a £149 refund cause of an error in my home appliance insurance. I told them straight up I wasn’t buying it and to stop calling - definitely felt like a scam.3 yearsGot a call about some refund for insurance on appliances, which I never even signed up for, they were asking for my card details to give me the money back.3 yearsOn 6 February around 1pm, i got a call from someone called "Jordan" who spoke with a strange foreign accent. He said he was from BT Internet and started by asking me to confirm my address and postcode. Then he rattled off a number i was meant to write down and repeat back - he said it was my security number and i shouldn't share it with anyone else. Apparently, my internet wasn’t secure and loads of people were using it. He offered to help me secure my computer! He told me to open up my computer and check a number, then tell him what i saw. I pretended not to understand and asked which channel i should switch to, as my TV was showing the BBC at the time. Getting a bit annoyed, he said it wasn’t the TV but my computer he meant! I told him my computer was broken and in for repairs, maybe because of all those people supposedly using it. Before i could say more, Jordan just hung up on me 😅 Honestly, i had a laugh out of messing with the scammer 🤣JordanBBC3 yearsJust got a call from this number, thought I'd mention that it's definitely a scam.3 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be BT Openreach from 02080506297.

I told them we were registered with TPS and didn’t accept unsolicited calls. Right as I hung up, a distressed voice insisted it wasn’t a cold call.BTTPS3 yearsSome 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.

Nope, didn’t feel right so I just shut it down!BT3 yearsNo clue who it was, just ended the call straight away!3 yearsGot a call from an unfamiliar number but didn’t pick up, and no voicemail was left either.
