Shortly after I submitted my genuine application for a Vanquis credit card, I received a call from this number that seemed to be a scam. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!

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!

My phone just won't stop ringing with these mysterious calls, and as soon as I pick up, they hang up! It's quite baffling. To top it off, I got a text today claiming that my credit card application has been accepted... but I’ve never even applied for one! So, I opted to delete the message without bothering to open it.

This phone number is absolutely reliable and is indeed associated with Vanquis. I just got a call from it! The person on the line claimed to be from Vanquis, and funnily enough, I had just been on the phone with them about ten minutes earlier. They informed me that my application had been approved and they wanted to discuss a few details. As they were sharing the information, I took the liberty of looking up the number online, which led me to this site. After that, I decided it would be best to reach out to Vanquis myself, so I dialled the number listed on their official site. They assured me that this number is certainly one of theirs.

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.

Vanquis Credit Card application team. They might call you or you might give them a ring to finish up any applications you’ve started. It’s a genuine number, definitely not a scam.

This lot never leaves a voicemail. The number is legitimate, but if you ring them, their message is that they’ll keep hounding you until you pick up.

I attempted to call in order to cease the incessant calls, but they insisted on having my name and address. They won’t disclose the reason for their call, and without your personal details, they refuse to take you off their list.

They claim that the Telephone Preference Service and ex-directory status don’t apply to their operations.

It’s quite evident that this is a scam.

If you try to reach the Vanquis number, be prepared to navigate through a maze of automated nonsense... There’s no way to actually speak to a human being.

Just block these nuisances and avoid giving them any of your personal information, as they’re clearly running a dodgy call centre that could either con you or, at the very least, sell your details to other crooks.

Without a doubt, this number is associated with a fraudulent caller. They ring me several times daily, yet never bother to leave a voicemail or reveal who they are. They clearly have no regard for the Telephone Preference Service. Upon reviewing other reports, it appears they masquerade as various companies attempting to fish for your banking or credit card information. I highly recommend blocking this number straight away.

I've been getting calls from this number nearly every day for the last couple of weeks.

The times seem to be all over the place, with one call even coming in after nine at night! They never leave any message, which is incredibly frustrating. If this is some sort of credit card firm, I can assure you that I haven't shown any interest in their services whatsoever.

They confirmed that this number isn’t associated with them, so I’ve gone ahead and reported it to their security team via email for further investigation.

I let them know that the person they were inquiring about has never set foot in my home, yet it did nothing to deter them from ringing me up not once, but twice more. This call centre ought to double-check their details before harassing innocent folks. I sincerely hope they take the hint and refrain from contacting me again. If they persist, I may have to use some choice language that would surely get the message across that I have no interest in any credit cards whatsoever.

If you've just put in for a Vanquis card, be aware that they typically ring you up to verify the information from your application. I've only received one call from them after my application, and that was on the very same day. Should anyone be experiencing annoying cold calls, it's advisable to contact BT and ask for your name to be taken off the marketing list, as well as registering with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). I trust this information proves useful to you! 😊
