02087437902 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02087437902 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance involving silent calls, hang-ups, and unsolicited attempts to gather personal information under the guise of "UK Benefits" or similar. Callers often use foreign accents, particularly South Asian, with calls coming at all hours, including early mornings, causing frustration and anxiety. Many recipients are registered with the Telephone Preference Service but still receive frequent calls, indicating little effect from current prevention measures. The calls often involve scripted questions, sometimes about household matters, but no clear legitimate purpose. Reported experiences suggest a scam or cold-calling operation, likely exploiting personal data. Users advise caution, recommend not engaging, and suggest reporting such calls to improve regulation and enforcement against misuse of UK numbers.

They never leave a voicemail and if you pick up, they just stay silent.

This number has rung me up two times now and my phone flagged it as a scam. I really wish there was some way to track these people down. It’s just so annoying how these pestering calls keep coming through. Honestly, I can’t figure out how they even get hold of our phone numbers in the first place.

I keep receiving calls from this number at all sorts of hours, even at the crack of dawn-like 7:30 am! I tend to avoid answering, but when it’s early morning and I’m jolted awake, my mind goes into overdrive thinking that perhaps there’s an emergency with a family member. It’s quite stressful, to say the least. On top of that, I’ve signed up for the Telephone Preference Service, not that it seems to make any difference-it's about as useful as a chocolate kettle!

Some bloke called asking about benefits or something. I told him I didn’t have time and just hung up.

Picked up the phone but stayed quiet, and then the call dropped after a bit. If it was those UK Benefits or Benefits UK folks, I’ve been getting their calls on and off for almost 5 years. TPS doesn’t really help much because they keep changing numbers every so often. Honestly, something ought to be done about the company that’s behind these calls, making these Indian call centre workers ring us nonstop.

Got a call early morning, around 8:35, from a guy with an Asian accent claiming he was calling from Benefit UK. He wanted to ask me some questions. I told him straight away I don’t do personal stuff over the phone, but he insisted he wasn’t asking personal things. Didn’t have the time for it, so I just said I’m busy and ended the call.

Received three calls in under an hour, yet when I tried to converse, there was silence on the other end. I've signed up with the Telephone Preference Service, so these calls shouldn't be coming through at all.

Got a call from this number today at around 8.19 in the morning. I answered but stayed silent, just waiting for them to say something. Of course, they ended up hanging up, same old story!

I went through the questions just to figure out what kind of scam it might be, one asked if I was happy with my mattress. Guess I'll wait and see what this scam’s really trying to do, then I’ll update with what I find.

I used to pick up when this number called, but not anymore! It's absolutely ridiculous. The accent was so heavy it felt like deciphering a secret language. Clearly a cold caller, considering they ring at all sorts of times with the same number.

They actually told me their name first and asked if I could answer a few questions. I just declined and hung up.

I’ve received numerous calls from this number at various hours throughout the day. There’s an incessant racket in the background akin to a call centre environment. Whenever I request that they reveal their identity, they simply cut the line.

Today I got a phone call from a guy with an Asian accent, he said his name was Gien Owen and claimed he was phoning from India. He wanted me to take part in some sort of survey about brands here in the UK. I wasn’t having any of it and told him where to stick it.

Got yet another annoying call today, third one now. Some guy with an Indian accent kept begging me to answer his questions. When I told him I wasn’t interested, he still kept pushing, saying he was from UK Benefits. I knew it was rubbish right away. I just told him I wasn’t helping, wished him a nice day, then hung up and blocked the number. These calls are such a nuisance, really fed up with them.

Got a call from some bloke with a South Asian accent who said he was from UK Benefits, asking a bunch of usual annoying questions about my household. When I asked more about it, he admitted if I answered, I'd probably get more calls later. I told him I wasn’t bothered and he just hung up on me. Such a pain!

Got a call from a woman with a strong Indian accent who gave her name as "Sharon" - honestly, who calls themselves that? She said she was calling from Benefits UK and wanted me to answer some questions. I told her I don’t do questions over the phone and she hung up straight away. If only I could cut off these scam calls for good!

What on earth do these people want? They keep ringing me repeatedly! I keep telling them I’m not the individual they're after, which is absolutely true, so they can’t pry into my personal details. This seems to wrap things up for them, allowing them to move on in search of their next unsuspecting target, if they ever manage to find one. - Caller: UK Benefits

I received a call from this number bright and early at 9:15 AM. Since it wasn’t from an 'out of area' code, I decided to pick up. However, all I got on the other side was a rather polite foreign gentleman. I didn't stick around for any lengthy chat, though; I simply said my farewells and hung up before he could launch into any nonsense. - Caller: 02087437902

Just got a call from this number, and the bloke was speaking some strange foreign nonsense. I reckon it’s because the last time they rang, I answered back in German. My partner, who’s partly deaf, once told them “Sorry, can’t hear you, speak louder” during a call. Then a few days later, they called again and the guy kept saying “Can you hear me? Can you hear me?” before his voice slowly disappeared. Honestly, these callers are proper annoying and shady.

I've received a couple of calls today from a gent with an Asian accent. It's odd how these things seem to come in bursts-one moment it's silence for weeks, and then suddenly my phone's ringing off the hook. It all kicked off after that TalkTalk breach a few years back. I've taken to being quite abrupt on the phone as a response. 15/03/2019

Got a call from a woman with an Asian accent saying she was calling from some UK Benefits department. She already had my name and address, which was a bit creepy. Then she started asking if I was in my 40s, 50s, 60s, or 70s. When I said yes, she kept asking the same thing over and over. Eventually she told me the questions to come would depend on my age. I figured I'd had enough of her time-wasting and just ended the call.

This morning, just after 7.40, I received an unexpected call from a bloke named David, whose accent hinted at Asian origins. To say I was incensed would be an understatement; being jarred awake at such an hour by a telemarketer is beyond frustrating. Honestly, what goes through these people's minds? Who in their right mind would entertain their nonsense at such a ridiculous time-or at any hour, for that matter? I barely gave him a moment before I hung up in a huff, my heart racing at first because I feared it was an urgent family matter. What a way to start the day!
