Right after I'd actually applied for the Vanquis credit card, this number rang me up trying to pull a scam.

Some idiot calling from 020 8616 8791 is ringing up saying you've been in some accident, obviously trying to scam folks. Why don’t these losers just find a proper job instead of tricking people? Bet they wouldn't be happy if their own mums or grans got caught out by scammers like themselves. They’re proper disgusting, honestly.

Watch out for this number. Back in 2015, our Virgin Media account got hacked, and then the hackers got into my Virgin emails too. They even managed to get into our Amazon account, and we got locked out. They switched the currency to euros as well. The Manchester fraud team had to step in because there was a scam with a supposed £100 refund for a faulty modem. Since then, I closed everything with Virgin and switched to a different provider. Whether genuine or not, calls starting with 0202 - including those dodgy bitcoin ones - I never pick up unless it’s family from Islington.

Vanquis bank, I was just about to complete my application and everything seemed fine till they asked me to arrange a direct debit over the phone. They said it’s all sorted and I should get my credit card in a couple of days. I’m gonna keep an eye out to make sure the direct debit isn’t being misused or anything dodgy happening.

They claimed to be calling about my Barclays credit card application. I told them I never applied for one and that it sounded like a scam. I told them to stop calling me and ended the call. I’ve contacted Barclays myself, and as I suspected, there’s no record of any application or call from them in their system!

I got a call from this number not long ago, and it was definitely Vanquis on the line. They told me my application had gone through successfully and wanted to discuss a few details. Funny thing is, I'd just been on the phone with Vanquis like 10 minutes before. While they were chatting, I looked the number up online and found this page. I figured I’d ring Vanquis myself using the number on their official site, and they confirmed that this call was genuinely from them. So yeah, the number is legit and you can trust it's really Vanquis.

They call and let it ring about four times then just cut off. If you pick up before it hits four rings, there's no one there. This has been happening about 4 or 5 times daily, and there’s gotta be some reason behind it, even if it’s not clear. Feels a bit suspicious to me.

Vanquist Don't bother leaving a message. The number is real, but when you ring, they warn they’ll keep calling until you pick up. I tried contacting them to stop the calls... they ask for your full name and address but refuse to say what the call is about. Without giving your info, they won’t take you off their list. They claim the TPS and ex-directory status doesn’t affect them at all. This feels like a proper scam. Ringing Vanquis just leads to endless automated nonsense... there’s no way to speak to a human being. Best just block them and don’t give out any personal details - they’re clearly dodgy and might either scam you or sell your info to other con artists.

For the past few weeks, this number keeps ringing me on almost every day. Even today, Good Friday, I've had a couple of calls - one around late morning and another soon after 2 in the afternoon. They also ring on weekends, including Saturdays and Sundays, as well as during the week. The timing is all over the place; one call even came through after 9 at night. They never leave a voicemail, which is really annoying. If they're from some credit card company, I've never actually signed up with them.

Got a call from this number earlier. It was just some automated voice telling me that Barclays Bank was trying to get in touch and if I wanted to stop getting calls, I should ring some other 0800 number. I didn’t bother calling that number though. Instead, I rang Barclays directly and they told me it wasn’t one of their numbers. So, I sent an email to their security team about it so they can check what's going on.

So, I got a call from some woman saying she was from Vanquis credit card company. I was confused because I never even applied for one. She kept mixing up my surname and calling me Mr something else. Then she asked me to prove my identity and wanted my credit card details for that. I ended the call pretty quickly. A few hours later, the same number rang again, but this time my wife answered. The caller said they were from BT's finance team and claimed I had an unpaid phone bill. They pressured my wife to give them our credit card number and the 3-digit code, saying our phone would be disconnected if we didn’t comply. I told my wife to say I needed to find my card and that I'd call back. After she hung up, I contacted BT directly. They checked my account and told me everything was paid, no debt at all. I also gave them the scam caller’s number. After a short wait, they called me back and confirmed it was a scam. Absolutely dodgy!

Today started off with calls coming in early, first one at 8.03am, then another at 9.27, and a third at 10.14. I never asked for any credit card from this company. I told them the person they were asking about doesn’t live here, never has, but they kept ringing me twice more after that. This call centre really should double-check their info before ringing people. Hopefully, they take the hint and leave me alone after this, otherwise I might have to say some things that’ll make it clear I’m not interested in any credit cards at all.

I applied for a Vanquis card not long ago and got a call to verify some info from my form. They only rang once and even called again later that same day. If you're getting loads of unwanted calls, maybe give BT a ring and ask them to take your name off their marketing lists. Also, you can register with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) to cut down on these calls. Might be worth trying! :)
