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 had plenty of calls from this number, often pretending to ring from fake mobile numbers. They claim to be with SafetyEducationMedia and try to scare you by saying they’ll send bailiffs round or put a CCJ on your home if you don’t pay up. It’s definitely a scam, so don’t bother engaging with them. Just hang up straight away and keep your cool!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 yearsAbsolute scammers and cheats. Never say yes to any offers. There’s no real magazine, it’s all a sham and there’s nothing actually published that gets sent out to schools. They’re connected to the number 020 3807 4957, even though they refuse to admit 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 MediaLondon7 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.Eddie7 yearsWatch out for Safety Educational Media Ltd. They’re pushing books to schools but it feels like a total scam. Best to steer clear and definitely notify Action Fraud and Trading Standards about them.Safety Educational Media LtdAction FraudTrading Standards7 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 yearsApparently, this number belongs to SafetyEducationalMedia UK Ltd. They have a London office just to handle mail, but then they send terrifying letters from Manchester asking for increasing amounts of cash. I've reported them to Action Fraud and Trading Standards. Seriously, stay well clear of these lot!!!SafetyEducationalMedia UK LtdLondonManchester7 yearsSafety Educational Media UK Ltd really take the biscuit. They call up claiming they’re a charity and get you to cough up for some leaflets supposedly sent to a school. You then get a thank you certificate, but before long, another invoice arrives, saying it’s a second payment. After that, they start sending threatening letters and even go as far as faking bailiff threats over a CCJ. Eventually, you find out the leaflets were never even sent! Reported to Trading Standards and Action Fraud, but no real action has been taken. Seriously, steer clear of SAFETYEDUCATIONALMEDIA UK LTD if they ring you.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 yearsThis number keeps ringing us up, saying we’ve paid for workbooks for a school and now want money off us. Thing is, we’ve never sponsored anything like that - it’s not related to what we do at all. The person on the phone wouldn’t even say where they were calling from, which felt a bit dodgy.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'm pretty sure this was a scammer, they managed to trick my wife into handing over £118 on a phone call. When I checked Companies House, none of the info from this company matched up with what they gave us.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)
