Phone number ☎️ 02086388271 👆 is reported as a persistent scam operation targeting individuals and businesses with calls falsely claiming to represent educational publishing for schools. Callers, sometimes using fake numbers and posing as legitimate agents, pressure recipients into verbal agreements and later demand payments, often threatening bailiffs or legal action. While a few schools have acknowledged receipt of materials, the overwhelming majority describe deceptive practices, aggressive chasing for money, and nonexistent or misleading company details. Many advise ignoring calls, blocking numbers, and reporting to Action Fraud or Trading Standards. Genuine sponsors caution others not to be misled by the aggressive tactics or supposed discounts, as this appears to be a fraudulent scheme causing distress and financial loss. Caution and verification are essential before engaging with these callers.

2 yearsGot a call from them claiming to be 02. Every time I hung up, they rang straight back, telling me not to end the call. Ended up blocking the number and reported it. Such a pain!6 yearsWe've received a plethora of calls from this number, and they even seem to ring from a range of made-up mobile digits. They claim to represent SafetyEducationMedia, although I highly doubt their legitimacy. They resort to intimidation tactics, threatening to dispatch bailiffs and impose a CCJ on your home if their so-called demands aren't met. It's all a ruse! Don't let them bother you for a second! Just hang up and don’t give them a moment of your thoughts!SafetyEducationMediaCCJ6 yearsI got a call today from someone saying he was Eddie Wilson, after not hearing from him in ages. He said a director had supposedly agreed to fund some educational books, which sounds like a load of rubbish to me. I’ve dealt with him before, so I knew straight away it was a con. He also wanted the director to ring him back on a different phone number, 02086388271, which looks suspicious and should definitely be blocked. Totally a scam and best off avoiding any contact with him!Eddie Wilson6 yearsAvoid these dodgy characters at all costs. Do not enter into any agreements with them. The so-called magazine is a complete fabrication, and they’ve nothing tangible to deliver to educational institutions. They try to distance themselves from the number 020 3807 4957, but there’s a clear connection to it.6 yearsWaste of time, absolute scam this one. They phoned saying we’d chatted back in Feb, but honestly, I couldn’t recall any of it and told them straight off. The firm’s called Safety Schools Media, apparently operating from some hot desk setup in London - at least that’s what I found on company house. Loads of other businesses share the exact same address. They keep ringing up demanding money now, and even got pretty disrespectful with my missus. Avoid at all costs.Safety Schools MediaLondon6 yearsSo, I got a call today from someone claiming to be part of a debt collection company, trying to squeeze money out of me... Seriously, do they really think I'm daft? I knew straight away it wasn't genuine just by the person’s voice. Enough is enough, stop ringing me! And by the way, you're definitely not "Eddie" from the debt recovery team.Eddie6 yearsSteer clear of Safety Educational Media Ltd; they're reportedly publishing textbooks for educational establishments that seem questionable at best. I’d strongly advise against engaging with them-better to notify Action Fraud and Trading Standards about your concerns. Stay vigilant!Safety Educational Media LtdAction FraudTrading Standards6 yearsSafety Education Media Ltd. is just another con targeting schools. They ring you up with some dodgy deal about sponsoring this 'safety magazine' they say is for schools, but it's just a mess of copied content from other sites. It's basically a sneaky textbook contract trap. Best thing to do? Just end the call straight away.Safety Education Media Ltd.7 yearsThis particular number is affiliated with SafetyEducationalMedia UK Ltd, which operates a mailing service in London. They have been sending out intimidating letters from Manchester, persistently asking for increasing sums of money. I've reported this to Action Fraud and Trading Standards. It's best to steer clear of them altogether!SafetyEducationalMedia UK LtdLondonManchester7 yearsSafety Educational Media UK Ltd - nothing short of a complete shambles. They have the audacity to masquerade as a charitable organisation when making their calls. The racket starts with convincing you to cough up for a batch of leaflets supposedly to be delivered to a school, after which they graciously send over a thank you certificate. But lo and behold, the second invoice arrives out of the blue, claiming it’s merely a second payment. Next, you’re inundated with threatening missives. They even go so far as to stage a farcical incident where they pretend that bailiffs are en route, armed with a CCJ against your name. Upon further digging, you uncover the shocking truth: those leaflets never even made it out the door! I've brought this matter to Trading Standards and Action Fraud, yet nothing seems to be changing. Steer clear of these charlatans at all costs! Caller: SAFETYEDUCATIONALMEDIA UK LTD.Safety Educational Media UK LtdCCJSAFETYEDUCATIONALMEDIA UK LTD7 yearsI helped fund some books for my son’s school, Long Toft Primary. The teachers said the booklets are a brilliant addition to their life skills lessons and will really help the kids stay safe and healthy. It’s refreshing to find a company that actually delivers on their promises, well done to them!Long Toft7 yearsThis company got in touch with me and at first, I was a bit suspicious too. So, I visited their website and rang up a few schools that were on their testimonial list. Turns out, the schools actually did get the books they ordered. They also have a warning about scammers out there, telling folks not to get involved with those fake ones. From what I gathered, the schools were satisfied with the books they received.7 yearsSafety Educational Media rang me about a suggestion to provide books to nearby schools. The call was quick, hardly any chance to say anything. At no point did they say it would cost me anything. The real trick is they post an invoice after the call and then someone named Joe keeps ringing me constantly demanding payment. I’m getting around 5 calls daily from loads of different numbers. Absolutely don’t pay up - report these lot to Action Fraud!Safety Educational MediaJoeAction Fraud7 yearsI actually decided to visit their office to check it out, but turns out the company isn’t even based there.7 yearsGot a call from a guy who spoke some Asian language, but I couldn't make head nor tail of what he was saying.7 yearsGot two calls one right after the other from this number. I have no idea who it could be, so I just ignored it.7 yearsWe've been receiving calls from this number, claiming that we’ve supported some school workbooks and they're asking us for payment. Truth be told, we’ve never sponsored anything related to a school, as it has absolutely no connection to what we do. I must add, the caller was rather vague and didn’t specify where they were ringing from. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!7 yearsWatch out, this place is a total scam! They claim to fight fraud but they’re actually in on it. Definitely don’t send them any money, they know exactly how these scammers operate!7 yearsThey should really send out educational booklets to schools, but not the usual topics. Stuff like warning about risky apps that kids and parents need to know about. The people I spoke to were actually quite respectful, even though I couldn’t afford to pay for the booklets myself.7 yearsJust a heads up, it's a total rip-off! They sound really legit, but honestly, it's all smoke and mirrors like any other con artists. Don't fall for it or give them a penny.7 yearsJust a heads up, this is a total rip-off. They sound pretty legit, but honestly, they’re just like all the other scammers out there. Don’t hand over any cash, it’s best to just ignore and block them.7 yearsReceived a call from the school after I donated some books to them. They mentioned the booklets were really useful and current. Apparently, the head teacher recently spoke to the year 5 and 6 kids about some of the topics covered. Nice job everyone!7 yearsI suspect this is linked to a fraudster. My wife got conned out of £118 via a phone call, and upon checking, the company listed on Companies House doesn't align with any of the information provided by these people. Quite dodgy, if you ask me!Companies House7 yearsGot a call from a place selling educational magazines the other day. Was a bit annoying but the person on the phone was pretty polite about it. Not something I was looking for, but at least they weren’t pushy. Don’t think I’ll be subscribing though.7 yearsWatch out for SAFETY EDUCATIONAL MEDIA UK LTD - they're a scam! Don't give them any money, just block and ignore.Submit Your Own Report (020 8638 8271)
