Reports on phone number 02081912817
2 yearsGot a call about paying for an ad in a school mag that I never signed up for. Total scam, definitely steer clear!2 yearsI received a request for payment regarding some charity books intended for schools, but I can assure you that I never consented to this at all.2 yearsI got a call from someone who said she was with the education department and that I had signed up to put an advert in some anti-bullying campaign. I didn’t remember any of that and when I asked more about it, she just got all rude and ended the call. Seems like a classic scam to me.2 yearsLike many others have said, I was pretty baffled when she told me I’d signed up for some sponsorship. She mentioned I’d get a bill or something, but it’s been ages with nothing in the post. Foolishly, I gave her the address for our firm, but since she already had my full name, phone, and company details, she probably knew everything she needed anyway. At least she didn’t demand any money during the call.2 yearsI got a call about some school books being offered, which turned out to be a scam. When I tried to call her out on it, she just started yelling at me.2 yearsThis number kept ringing me claiming we’d backed some anti-bullying campaign and that books were going out to schools nearby. They wanted me to cough up a £259 sponsorship fee right then on the phone. I said just email me the invoice instead - still nothing in my inbox. They keep calling my work line about 4 or 5 times daily but I’m usually tied up in meetings. After seeing these comments, I reckon I’ll pick up the next one and see what they say… good luck to them! Haha!Haha2 yearsKeeps ringing me up asking to speak to the director. I just tell them he’s not here and end the call. Pretty clear it’s some sort of dodgy scam or someone trying their luck!2 yearsGot a call at my workplace today, the person asked for my mum by her first name even though she’s 80. Luckily she said I was the right person to talk to. They claimed she’d agreed to sponsor some local school project or something. When I rang them back, it just went to voicemail. I’ve reported the whole thing to BT and put it up here as well.BT2 yearsThey keep ringing trying to speak to our MD, just using their first name. When I tell them he's usually tied up in meetings and tough to reach on the phone, they start getting a bit rude and then just hang up.2 yearsGot a call about choosing a school for some anti-bullying books, they claimed we talked about it back in September. Thing is, we never got a call before that. Then they just dropped the call on us and went quiet. Quite odd really.2 yearsGot a call from this number just now about some school anti-bullying books. They said they talked to us back in August, but we never did. I told them they must have the wrong place and ended the call.2 yearsGot a call from 0208 191 2817 and the lady asked for me by my first name. When I asked who she was, she kept insisting that if I wasn’t available, it didn’t matter. I said maybe I am here but you’re just wasting my time and ended the call. I looked it up later and it seems ‘Louise Green’ is connected to some school book scam. Proper dodgy! 😠Louise Green2 yearsJust got a call about some £261 charge for a magazine ad I never agreed to. Total scam, watch out!2 yearsGot a call from a woman who seemed really convincing. She thanked me for backing a school campaign and mentioned a £20 discount, meaning I’d just owe £179. When I told her I never signed up for anything, she said she had a recording of me agreeing and said she’d play it - but she never did!2 yearsI received a rather puzzling call from someone named Cerys or Kerry Malcolm, stating that we had been involved with a charity focused on children's road safety. I had to clarify that we’ve never actually pledged any support to such a cause. To my surprise, she insisted that we had indeed contributed and that it was a done deal. Her tone was quite discourteous, and after mentioning she’d send us an email, she abruptly ended the call. Quite a strange encounter!CerysKerry Malcolm2 yearsAvoid the number +44 20 8191 2817 - it’s definitely linked to a dodgy scam operation. Keep your guard up!2 yearsThey called saying they were ready to collect payment for a sponsorship we supposedly signed up for last September, and mentioned the books were finished and set to be sent out. I told them I wasn’t interested since they’d attempted this scam before, and then they just dropped the call. Totally a SCAM, steer clear!2 yearsSomeone called claiming to be from some kind of educational help, but then oddly wanted to speak to a specific person in our house!! After that, they just ended the call abruptly.2 yearsBeware of this number +44 20 8191 2817-it's a scam!2 yearsHad a phone call from this number earlier, with a woman saying she was Louise Green. She mentioned my name and claimed we backed a school fundraiser last September. We told her we never did, and suddenly she just hung up.Louise Green2 yearsGot a call from this number too, claiming I’d agreed to support some anti-bullying initiative last October and owed £189 as a promised donation once it finished. They got my name and my work address spot on, but honestly, I don’t remember anything about this. Like others mentioned, no letter or anything before. The person on the phone was polite, spoke softly with a Midlands accent, said she’d need to check with the enquiry team and then just ended the call. Felt very strange!Midlands2 yearsI received a rather persuasive phone call today from someone claiming to represent a charity my business had backed last year. They mentioned that the campaign had wrapped up and that they were preparing to send over my certificate. They double-checked my name and business address and expressed their gratitude for my contribution towards their aims. All the while, I couldn’t help but feel something was amiss. To my surprise, they proceeded to inform me that there was still an outstanding invoice of £199, supposedly for which I had requested billing to my business address to facilitate VAT claims. At that point, I decided it was best to bid them farewell and ended the call with, "Thanks for the tale, have a splendid day!"3 yearsGot a call today from someone claiming I promised in September to sponsor textbooks for some schools. I never agreed to anything like that. They asked me to pay £259 right then and there over the phone. I told them to email me an invoice instead. What’s weird is they mentioned my business name during the call.3 yearsI got a call thanking me for backing local schools last year, apparently their campaign was all about road safety books. They asked if I could leave a review somewhere, said they’d send a copy of the book, but then mentioned they needed the invoice paid now. Bit confusing to be honest!3 yearsThis number? Definitely don’t believe what they claim, they’re not exactly honest about who they are.3 yearsGot a call on our office phone from this number, and just as they ended the call, they said something about Netflix.Netflix3 yearsA while back I flagged this number as a scam. They say they're making road safety leaflets for local schools and even send over a few samples with your firm's info stuck on them. Then, out of nowhere, they send a bill for the printing and try to rush you to pay quickly with a discount if you sort it within a day or so. Best thing is to just give it a miss and let the proper folks know.3 yearsI got a call saying I’d supposedly bought books for a school and that I needed to pay £200. Felt dodgy to me, probably a scam.3 yearsJust got a call about some dodgy school book deal, total rubbish if you ask me.3 yearsGot a call earlier claiming I'd promised to sponsor some school books. I called it out as a con and she just dropped the call! Definitely steer clear of this one.3 yearsGot a call from 020 8191 2817 and all I managed was to say hello before it hung up instantly. Seriously, this number should be blocked for good.3 yearsThis morning, I received a rather dodgy phone call from someone claiming to be Susan Taylor from the Educational Support Centre. Apparently, we had supposedly come to some arrangement back in March regarding an anti-bullying initiative. It was all very suspect, and once I questioned her about it, she promptly ended the conversation! Clearly up to no good.Susan TaylorEducational Support Centre3 yearsBeware, total scam alert! They’re using fake school ads to trick people. It’s all a con, absolutely nothing genuine about it. Stay far away, this is just a scam trying to catch you out.3 yearsProbably just another scam call, best to not pick up.3 yearsSame here, they called using my name then just hung up on me.3 yearsSomebody rang, asked for me by name and as soon as I answered, they just hung up. Definitely a suspicious number - watch out!3 yearsI’ve just had a rather odd phone call from someone wanting to have a word with a Mrs. Turkey, followed by some rather childish giggling. Rather perplexed, I attempted to return the call in search of a Mrs. Mistletoe, only to discover that the voicemail box was closed to further incoming calls. How bizarre!TurkeyMistletoe3 yearsThey were still ringing me up on the 19th of December 2023. Claiming to arrange book sponsorships for schools that I supposedly agreed to before, asking where to post a certificate and all that. Just put the phone down and don’t go along with it!3 yearsGot a call about paying £189 for a school magazine ad that I supposedly agreed to. When I asked where I had authorised it, the person just cut me off. They’d actually tried calling me once earlier too, back in April 2023.3 yearsIt’s quite baffling, isn’t it? Given the advancements in technology today, why aren’t these fraudsters apprehended and held accountable? If folks are taking the effort to share their unfortunate encounters on this platform, surely the authorities should be able to trace these criminals and bring them to justice. I reckon that any ill-gotten gains they’ve acquired should be seized and diverted to charitable organisations throughout the UK. Allowing these unscrupulous individuals to continue their deceitful practices unchecked is simply unacceptable. I’d love to see a monthly roundup of these cases aired on television, complete with images and names of the wrongdoers. Let’s bring them into the spotlight and hold them responsible for their actions!UK3 yearsI received a call from someone claiming that my company had committed to funding a school safety initiative in the Morpeth region. They requested £289 for a sponsorship that I had never discussed with anyone. When I asked for some proof of this so-called agreement, they abruptly ended the call. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!Morpeth3 yearsCalled me just one time then cut off. The number closely matches a bunch of dodgy calls I’ve been getting lately.3 yearsWhat an utter shambles! I received a call from a rather posh elderly woman claiming that we had committed back in April to fund a booklet about road safety for youngsters. She was keen to send us a copy and add our appreciation on some website or another. Almost immediately, she was probing about where to direct an invoice for a rather hefty sum of over £200. I made it clear that I had never agreed to anything in April and wasn’t interested in footing any bills. At that point, she abruptly ended the call. I sincerely hope her festive season turns out to be quite dismal, given how she’s turned such an important matter into a dubious scheme!3 yearsI answered the call to an awkward pause, which pretty much screamed scam. Then this woman with a British accent introduced herself as “Susan Taylor from the Educational Support Centre,” using my name directly. I didn't acknowledge it, and when I pressed her for more details, she abruptly ended the call. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!Susan TaylorEducational Support Centre3 yearsThey rang me up, saying they were from Merton Educational Support Centre, expressing gratitude for my assistance with some packages. However, when I mentioned I wasn't involved, they promptly ended the call. Very curious indeed!Merton Educational Support Centre3 yearsI received a call claiming I was backing a campaign for children's safety, which, to be honest, I had never done. When I reiterated that I had no involvement with such a campaign, they abruptly ended the conversation.3 yearsI had a rather peculiar experience earlier. A woman with a distinctly British accent inquired about someone by their first name. When I informed her that he wasn't around, she abruptly ended the call without so much as a word. If it had genuinely been a legitimate matter, I can’t help but think she wouldn’t have just dropped the line like that. So I’ve made the decision to block the number. Quite the mystery, isn't it?3 yearsWe're currently seeking contributions to create a safety booklet aimed at educating our local school community. This resource will focus on essential road safety tips to ensure our children can navigate traffic safely. Any support you can offer would be immensely appreciated, as it will help us in making our neighbourhood a safer place for everyone.
