02081669838 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02081669838 👆 is reported as a highly persistent nuisance number frequently linked to scam or unwanted telemarketing calls, often from overseas call centres. Callers may remain silent, hang up abruptly, or use fake names when asking for random individuals. Despite many users being on the TPS list or ex-directory, the calls continue unabated, causing considerable stress, especially for vulnerable individuals. Calls often start early mornings and can occur multiple times daily. Attempts to block or report the number to authorities like Ofcom and the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau have proven largely ineffective so far. New visitors should exercise caution, avoid sharing personal information, and consider ignoring or blocking this number to prevent ongoing harassment and potential fraud risks.

Sounds like another call centre from India, judging by the accents. They usually want you to do a survey or try to sell some rubbish product or service. They always ask for Mr Spumbledank, which is a fake name I made up for them. Funny enough, one just rang while I was typing this and hung up before I said anything.

Received a call just after eight in the morning. When I picked up, there was complete silence on the other end, so I decided to hang up.

For the past three months, I've been inundated with calls from this number. Each time, they purport to be conducting a quick survey on behalf of different organisations, like Consumer at Home. Despite being ex-directory and registered with the Telephone Preference Service, it appears to have had no impact whatsoever. Given my recent diagnosis of breast cancer, as well as the ongoing treatment I'm facing, these annoying calls are incredibly unwelcome and only serve to heighten my anxiety. It’s frustrating that there's seemingly no effective way to put an end to these persistent callers.

I’ve been receiving daily calls from this number. Today, I picked up and kindly informed the woman on the other end that I wasn’t interested in engaging with her queries, to which she bluntly replied with "go to hell." How delightful!

I dialled this number, and the message I received urged me to reach out to the fraud hotline (the police) to lodge a report. I can’t help but wonder how many people have actually flagged this, considering they're still ringing me persistently even after I've begged them to stop. Their response? “We’re not always the ones calling you.” I beg to differ, as they clearly are! I suspect it all stems from a competition I entered, which likely led to my information being handed over to other entities. Alternatively, it could be from various online activities where I’m required to provide personal details, even though I consistently select the option to avoid my information being shared.

They call me like 4 or 5 times a day. Sometimes nobody even talks, such a right pain.

I've been plagued by this particular number for what feels like an eternity, ringing me daily for months on end. There are times when the line is dead, only for them to abruptly disconnect, while other moments feature either a rather rude chap with an Asian accent or a woman on the line. I've repeatedly asked them to cease these incessant calls, but to no avail. They start as early as 8:30 am - one day I was bombarded with six calls within just three hours! I reached out to Sky Talk for advice, and they suggested hitting the hash key to block them, yet nothing's changed. It’s utterly maddening, especially now that we’re in the summer holidays with these persistent disturbances. It's beginning to feel like they're breaching some sort of law and I'm absolutely fed up!

I keep receiving calls from this number and all I get is some coughing noises on the line! Intrigued, I called 1471/3 to trace it, and they directed me to this number, 0300123200400, which they claim is a fraud hotline. What a right kerfuffle!

I'm utterly frustrated with this situation and the associated numbers! I received three calls within just five minutes, all asking "How am I today?" Honestly, I’m downright tired of these pesky cold calls! What on earth leads them to believe I'd willingly share my personal information or consider making a purchase from someone who's thousands of miles away? It's beyond ridiculous!

In the past couple of days, I’ve received approximately 15 calls, all starting from 8:30 in the morning. I’ve tried ignoring them, and even answered once to firmly request they cease calling, but to no effect. I believe my next step will be to respond with rather more bluntness-just without resorting to profanity.
9 years
I received an unbelievable 19 calls in a single day, and the very next morning, there were two more before half past nine. It became so unbearable that I had no choice but to sever my phone line. I can't fathom having to endure such harassment daily; it’s enough to drive anyone to despair. I've never encountered this level of nuisance calls before-surely, there must be some kind of intervention available for this number? I politely requested that the Asian gentleman cease his calls, yet he had the audacity to threaten me with relentless ringing just to irritate me. Whoever this individual is, I sincerely hope he understands the concept of karma, as it seems to be heading his way in a rather significant fashion.

This number's been ringing several times over the past few weeks. When someone from my team picks up, a bloke speaks and asks to speak to one of my coworkers (he actually knows their name). If we just pick up but don't say anything, there's a bit of silence before the caller just hangs up.

Typically, there's a bit of silence on the other end, but if they do decide to chime in, it’s usually just to trot out a few queries. They always want me to verify my name and address. I simply point out that they've already posed two questions, and then I promptly hang up!

Absolutely echoing what others have said. The phone starts ringing before 9 in the morning and doesn’t let up until well after five. When you finally manage to answer, there’s nobody there. It’s incredibly frustrating, especially considering my husband’s disability; he could easily take a bad tumble rushing to grab the phone. Someone really ought to take action against these nuisances!

It’s happening three times daily now, and yet there’s never anyone on the other end. Whoever it is, I’m so infuriated by their persistence that I could easily lose my temper! What a letdown that the authorities can’t seem to do anything about these nuisances!

I've received countless calls from this number, and they never seem to respond when I pick up. It appears they’re trying to reach my wife, who has a disability and is considered a vulnerable individual. Once, she actually answered, and they just hung up on her! In an attempt to tackle this, I purchased a call blocker, which was effective for a bit, but now they’re ringing under withheld numbers. It's clearly the same lot of callers, and honestly, it’s becoming incredibly frustrating. Surely there must be some legal measures in place to combat this sort of harassment?

They've rung me up three times over the last few days - twice at 1.40 in the afternoon and once yesterday morning at 8.40. When I told them I was just having my brekkie, they kept pushing to ask more questions. The people calling have really English sounding names, but it’s clear they’re not from here. I asked if she was ringing from India, and she said yes. I’ve also told them to remove my number from their list, but they just don’t seem to listen.

There was a weird silence after I answered with ‘hello,’ so I waited as the caller kept saying ‘hello’ over and over before I ended the call and blocked the number. Honestly, it's about time some sort of measure was introduced to deal with these annoying time-wasters.

I've been receiving multiple calls throughout the day. Whenever I pick up, there's complete silence on the other end. Strangely, they never bother to leave a voicemail either.

Just looked them up, seems the firm is located in Watford. If you call, youll get a recording telling you to either leave a message or call 01923 281700. On money saving experts [###] there’s loads of complaints about consumer lifestyles.

Getting calls as much as five times daily... I've picked up a few times, but all I get is silence on the other side before the line goes dead. Quite baffling, really!

They've rung me nine times already and its just gone 1pm. Bloody persistent, I’ll give em that. My number’s ex-directory, so how on earth they got hold of it is beyond me. I just spoke with my landline provider and they couldn’t explain how these muppets are managing it. So now I’ve got caller ID, which might help me recognise when it’s them, but I still have to keep going to the phone every time they ring, sometimes up to 8 times a day!

He mentioned wanting me to answer a few questions but when I said I don't share info over the phone with strangers, he gave his name and said it was for some consumer survey. I told him again I reckoned it was a scam. He kept pushing so I asked if he'd put me on his list. I said I was going to report him, and he just told me to do it.

Got another call from these muppets, I've got caller ID now so I just block anyone I don’t know straight away.

02081669838 keeps ringing me up non stop. I told the person on the other end that my calls might be recorded, then they just hung up. Can't figure out how to block this number either.

I’m absolutely fed up, receiving countless calls daily. I’ve taken the step to register my number to block unwanted calls, yet I still find myself bombarded by these nuisances. Today alone, I had a staggering ten calls from all sorts of different companies. When will it end?

I’ve been getting calls like this for ages now, usually from some Ryan bloke who, when I ask why he keeps phoning, says there’s another Ryan and it wasn’t him. I even spoke to a supervisor and asked to be removed from their list. Things went quiet, but only for like an hour before another call came through - just silence. Does no one have the authority to put a stop to these pestering calls and stop these companies from harassing people like this?

This number keeps ringing me over and over. I picked up and said I’m not up for any surveys and asked them to remove my ex-directory number from their list. Seems like they aint done anything about it and it’s seriously getting annoying now.

I seem to receive this particular phone call a couple of times each day. How on earth they’ve managed to find my number is beyond me, but it's certainly a bother! It’s downright infuriating, I must say! They don’t even bother leaving a message on the answering machine! What’s the point of calling at all if they can't be bothered to drop a note?

The bloke said his name was Ryan and kept asking me all these lifestyle questions. This number rings me up like three times daily. I told him to remove my details since I wasn't about to answer his stuff and then just ended the call. Proper annoying, this. I can't even see who's calling cause I don't have caller ID, so I just pick up.

02081669838 - Ive been getting loads of calls from this number, like daily, sometimes even twice or thrice in a day. A guy called Blake keeps ringing, and when I told him yesterday I’m on the TPS, he just hung up. After that, got a couple silent calls and another one today. This time it wasn’t Blake but the caller said it was only a quick couple of questions and would just take a minute. Proper fed up with it now, so I filed a complaint with Ofcom last night!

I'm registered with the Telephone Preference Service, yet I'm still inundated with calls daily. Just had a bloke named Blake on the line, probing me with queries. When I mentioned my TPS registration, he promptly hung up on me. To make matters worse, I received a couple of silent calls last night. And wouldn’t you know it, I've just had yet another call insisting he was simply trying to ask a few questions! It's becoming quite the nuisance, with about three disruptive calls a day now. I reached out to Ofcom last night to lodge a complaint.

This number keeps ringing me all the time, maybe it’s cos I asked them to leave me alone. Does anyone know how I can get them to quit harassing me? It’s really annoying.

Here we are again, second call today. It’s proper harassment, told the person when they accidentally picked up. They just ignored me and kept talking like I wasn’t even there. BT really ought to block these numbers straight away once they get loads of complaints. Seriously BT, you should be able to sort this out.
