5 yearsI've tried blocking their number but they keep calling me over and over! It's so frustrating 😡5 yearsThis number keeps ringing me non stop, its really annoying!5 yearsI didn’t pick up since the number was unfamiliar, but when I checked online later, it turned out to be a scam.5 yearsGot a call from 02081542597 about some T.V wordsearch thing, and somehow they've managed to withdraw cash from my bank. Feels like a rip-off for sure.T. V.5 yearsSaw this wordsearch competition on telly, and I gotta say, it's for real. They did ask me for my bank info to cover postage for a wordsearch book, which sounded a bit odd at first. But guess what? The book actually turned up this morning!5 yearsGot a ring from this number claiming I’d won a prize from a competition I supposedly entered by texting the word guitar. They asked for £1.95 for postage to send lottery tickets and other stuff. I told them I didn’t feel safe handing over my bank info on a call and asked if they could send me something by email or in writing instead. The guy said no, everything has to be done over the phone! That felt really dodgy. I refused to give my details and he just said ‘ok bye’ and hung up. Wouldn’t trust these people for a second! Stay cautious.5 yearsThey called me up and straight away started asking for my bank info. Couldn't believe it, seemed a bit dodgy if you ask me.5 yearsI get like five calls every day from this number, and the moment I pick up, it just cuts out after a couple of seconds, with no one saying a word. It's so annoying!5 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be from my bank, sounded like a total scam.5 yearsI entered this ITV wordsearch competition and they rang up to say I’d made it to the finals. They said they’d send me a free wordsearch book and some lottery tickets, but I had to pay £1.95 for postage. I told them I wasn’t comfortable sharing my bank details on the phone, and the guy was pretty understanding about it. He just wished me luck in the finals and that was that.ITV5 yearsI got a call claiming I’d won the final round of some ITV competition with a ten grand prize. They said I’d be getting a letter soon but I’m baffled how they even got hold of my phone number and email in the first place, especially if it’s supposedly from ITV. Seems a bit dodgy to me!ITV5 yearsGot a call about this ITV competition thing. They said it was some kind of word puzzle or something. Sounded a bit dodgy to me.ITV5 yearsGot a call about paying with a debit card for prize delivery, something to do with a TV word search competition. Totally a scam, obviously. Didn’t share any info and just hung up straight away.6 yearsSounds like a scam to me, didn’t get anyone answering on the other side.6 yearsI got a call from someone claiming I’d won a prize and they asked for my 83-year-old mum’s bank details. She was clever and told them to call me back instead. Guess what? They never phoned again. They were super convincing though!6 yearsI received a call claiming I was the lucky winner of some competition, and they wanted my bank details to send me my prize. It has all the hallmarks of a scam, if you ask me!6 yearsSo some people called me saying they were from this lottery on TV that I’d actually signed up to, which freaked me out a bit since I have no idea how they got my number or details. Things got dodgy when they started asking for my card info, saying it was needed to cover postage so they could send me the ‘winning’ tickets. Instantly made me suspicious!6 yearsAt first I was unsure but gave the number a ring back, turns out it was the ITV competition I'd entered. The lady told me I'd made it to the finals happening at the end of March, with a prize pot of £10,000. She also mentioned I'd won a word search book and only had to cover the postage cost. I told her I couldn't afford the postage, and she was alright with that. They never asked for any bank info or anything sketchy. Honestly, I don't think this number is dodgy at all.ITV6 yearsI got a call from 020 8154 2597 and called back straight away. They told me I’d somehow made it to the final round of a TV competition I supposedly entered. Then they tried to get me to sign up for a free trial of a word search book which would have cost me £1.95 for postage. When I said no, they just cut me off out of nowhere while I was still talking.6 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from my bank asking for my account info - sounded dodgy to me. Definitely a scam trying to fish for my details. Watch out, don’t give any of your bank stuff to callers like that!6 yearsHad a call with my mum not long ago, and some scammer tried to con her out of her card info. They claimed she’d won a lottery ticket and a word puzzle book but needed to cough up £1.95 for shipping. They went on about GDPR nonsense, saying they wouldn’t keep her card details - totally irrelevant but clearly an attempt to sound genuine. Then they offered to give her their registered business info and website, which is easy enough to find with a quick Google search anyway.Google6 yearsSo I got a call saying I’d won some tv contest and was in the last round for £10,000, then they started asking me what I’d spend it on. I told them I was a bit busy and asked what the next step was, then the caller just hung up on me 😂 total scam. These kinds of calls really should be blocked by telcos, they must be selling the phone lines to scammers or something. It's such a pain!6 yearsGot a call from someone who sounded like a total scammer. Definitely dodgy, wouldn’t trust them.6 yearsGot a call saying I'd won a prize but they wanted £1.95 and asked for my bank card info. I said I'd ring back since I didn't have my card with me. Seems dodgy, maybe a scam to get into your bank account. Watch out everyone!6 yearsI got a call saying I’d won a word search contest on TV, not the grand prize, but they were sending me some lottery tickets instead. I remembered entering it ages ago and had phoned my answer to a number, though I can't recall exactly which one now. They then asked for £1.95 to cover the postage and wanted my bank details. I wasn’t comfortable, so I offered to send a cheque instead. The woman said they weren't accepting cheques atm, so I told her I wasn’t interested in taking it any further. She didn’t argue, so I just thanked her and ended the call!6 yearsGot a call claiming I’d won a lottery through some TV contest, asking for my bank info. Definitely a scam, so I’m just going to block that number now.6 yearsGot a call earlier saying I’d been selected in some ITV competition with a chance to win about nine and a half thousand quid. They mentioned I’d receive a word search book as a prize, supposedly including 40 free lottery tickets. However, they then asked for my bank info to cover postage and packing fees. I said no thanks quite firmly. They insisted I’d still get entered in the draw, but honestly, I’m not getting my hopes up at all.ITV6 yearsOh, so that's Churchcastle Ltd behind that TV wordsearch contest! I've had two calls from them already - one came through yesterday and another just now, but I ignored both. Funny enough, I also got a letter yesterday (dated 16th) inviting me to ring 09066350615 to take part in yet another wordsearch game. They mentioned the call would set you back £3.50 a minute and last about a minute and a half, meaning a max charge around £5.40, plus whatever the phone company adds on. Apparently, after that, you can choose to be transferred to a second call lasting two minutes, which can cost up to £7.50. Honestly, I don’t see how STV lets these sort of pricey calls be advertised on their channel.Churchcastle LtdSTV6 yearsAnnoying phone call, couldn't get rid of it!6 yearsCalled the number, but no one answered. Just dead silence!6 yearsGot a call about a TV word search contest, they said I’d made it to the final draw to win £14,000. They asked me for £1.95 to cover sending some puzzles and lottery tickets through the post. Sounded a bit off to me.6 yearsHas anyone actually ended up sharing their bank info with these lot?6 yearsgot two calls from this number then nothing after. no clue who they are.6 yearsI just got a call from a company trying to sell me word search books for £1.95. Seems a bit odd to me, not sure if it’s worth it or a bit of a scam? Anyone else had this?Tele6 yearsHad a go at one of those Puzzle Play TV wordsearch competitions, the free kind on telly. Turns out, once you enter, they’re always trying to push really pricey wordsearch books on you. Proper sneaky, that.Churcastle / Puzzle Play TVSubmit Your Own Report (020 8154 2597)
