Reports on phone number 02088
11 monthsToday I got a call from 02038850374. I picked up but didn’t say anything and right after a few moments, they just ended the call.11 monthsToday, I picked up when 02038850362 rang. I stayed silent but the person on the other end said hello and had an accent. They ended the call after just a few moments.2 yearsOn Tuesday, 10th December 2024 at 12:52pm, I got a call from 02088 638 498. They didn’t bother leaving any voicemail. Probably just the typical scammers doing their rounds again!2 yearsThis number, 020880494380, wouldn't stop calling me.2 yearsGot a call from 02088358115 but they just disconnected straight away.2 yearsI keep getting calls from this number, often really early like around 7:30am. It's quite annoying.2 yearsI received a recorded notification regarding some "suspicious" activity on my card. Quite concerning!2 yearsThis number keeps calling nonstop. Really annoying. Definitely not someone you can trust. Feels like a scam.3 yearsHad no clue what he was on about, so told him to say it again; then after a bit more confusing babble, the call just dropped.3 years02088 886 531 called me but hung up as soon as my answerphone kicked in, didnt leave any message though. Could hear loads of background noise like one of those busy call centres. Sounds like scammers doing their rounds again.3 years02088 883 399 - When my answerphone picked up, they just hung up. Proper scammers, no doubt about it.3 yearsThis number appears to be completely bogus and is most certainly a con.3 years02088837309 claiming to be HMRC, said it was urgent that I call back. Total scam, felt risky so I just ended the call straight away.HMRC3 yearsGot a call from 02088886439 today around 2:30pm saying they were from Sky. I played along for a bit but when they started talking about downloading software, I told them I reckoned they were a scammer and didn’t wanna continue. Then they called me a couple of rude names and told me to get lost. I told them that just showed they weren't really from Sky, and they hung up straight away.Sky3 yearsWe’ve got loads of calls from people claiming to be Sky Security saying they need to secure our internet. Be careful, sounds dodgy!Sky Security3 yearsI received a call from an Asian gentleman claiming to represent BT. He mentioned that as a valued customer, I was eligible for a complimentary calling package. However, to proceed, he insisted on verifying my identity by requesting my complete name and date of birth. This clearly seemed like a phishing attempt aimed at obtaining sensitive information to match with the personal details he probably already possessed, potentially leading to fraudulent activities under my name. I highly recommend that everyone simply hang up if you receive a similar call.BT3 yearsAbout 5 days ago, a caller claiming to be from BT Security rang me about my broadband speeds and claimed someone was accessing my account without permission. They sounded really legit and I naively shared more details than I should. Luckily, my bank's fraud team acted quickly. The scammer rang again the following day like they said they would. I hung up straight away when I spotted it was an 02088 number. Pretty sure they’re not going to be sending that new router they also promised!BT Security3 yearsThe person said it was about BT broadband.BT3 years0208 888 2772 is definitely dodgy. Just end the call!3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were from Microsoft about issues with my files. Complete scam, don’t trust them at all. Number was 02088888472. Avoid!Microsoft3 yearsI received a series of calls from someone purporting to be from Microsoft, around six in total - exceedingly relentless and quite bothersome, I must say. My spouse and I, both in our sixties, felt rather uneasy by the manner of the caller; it definitely had a menacing undertone.Microsoft3 yearsKept getting calls from numbers begining with those digits. The guy said he’s from Microsoft and wanted to talk about my PC. I’ve just blocked them now.Microsoft3 years02088883745 has called me loads of times, always when I’m probably free and not working! Suspicious timing if you ask me.3 years02088882236 keeps calling telling me its Microsoft and trying to scam me. Funny thing is, this number is actually the fax line for Alexandra Park School. Very shady!MicrosoftAlexandra Park School3 yearsGot a call from someone saying they were Microsoft saying there was an issue with my IP address. When I questioned them, they just ended the call. Total scam.Microsoft3 years02088889775 rang and wanted to talk to Mrs ******* (my manager’s wife). I asked what the call was regarding. He asked who I was. I said I work here. He just said, “pass me to Mrs *******.” I asked, “Are you trying to check her computer or something?” He said, “You just work there, so pass me on.” I told him no. Then he called me an a**hole and hung up. Honestly, that really brightened my day!3 yearsCalled by 02088987566 claiming to be from BT tech support. They said theres an issue with my broadband IP being used by others and told me to turn on my PC and go to a website. Seems dodgy to me.BT3 years02088887647 called and said they were John from BT.JohnBT3 yearsGot a call from 02088978417 but didn’t pick up, cos it’s a scam number I’ve seen before.3 years02088 214872 rang me, no one said a word - definitely a scam call!3 years02088 827638 - some guy called saying he was Will from Microsoft. I just hung up straight away.WillMicrosoft3 yearsThe phone just kept ringing non-stop!3 yearsI chose not to pick up the phone, and they didn’t bother to leave a voicemail.4 years020888889742 is a total Microsoft scam. Best thing to do is just hang up straight away. If you get this number on your phone, just dont bother answering it.Microsoft4 years02088 099777 called me but I didnt recognise it so I just ignored it. I decided to google the number and every review I found about numbers starting with 02088 was bad. Funny thing is the last review I saw was from 27-11-2020, maybe that dodgy scammers from back then are back at it again.4 yearsClaimed to be from BT with an 02088 code, rang my home phone like 4 times but kept switching the number each call.4 yearsI received a call where there was absolutely no sound - it cut off after just five or six seconds of utter silence. Quite odd, to say the least!4 yearsI've been receiving calls from this number ###-###-### incessantly; it seems to ring off the hook!4 yearsThey keep ringin me but I dont answer, just look at the number. Says not in use but it defo is, really annoying. Prob one of those cold calls.4 years02088889297 called me claiming to be BT internet.BT4 yearsI keep getting calls from this number almost every day, like six times a week.5 yearsThere's no need to fret or stress over it. It's just a bunch of fraudsters.5 yearsWhat a dodgy call that was! They were insistent that there were issues with my BT internet, which was rather amusing since I'm not even a customer of theirs. I let them prattle on while I sat there, rolling my eyes, fully aware that they were spinning a yarn. Definitely a classic example of a scam or phishing attempt!5 yearsI received a call from a private number, which strangely enough, I couldn’t even find in any telephone directory. When I called back to find out who it was, an Asian woman picked up and made an attempt to deny any knowledge of the call. However, once I pointed out that the number had appeared on my caller ID, her accent seemed to fade away, and she claimed it wasn’t her who had called earlier today, abruptly hanging up on me. Interestingly, I hadn’t mentioned the time of the original call, which was around ###.### this morning; I had let my answering machine take it, but there was no message left. Quite peculiar, isn't it?5 yearsSuspicious internet company asking loads of pointless questions.5 years02088 664827 called me with a recorded message saying my internet would be cut off in the next 24 to 48 hours and to stay on the line to talk to their ‘Technical Department’. I just ended the call. Another dodgy 0208 scam, be warned.Technical Department5 years02088639517 A guy called claiming he was with the Telephone Preference Service, saying they were launching a new call blocking scheme. He mentioned we'd been getting scam calls from places like Amazon, BT, Microsoft and so on. He confirmed our landline and address, then asked for my date of birth. I didn’t feel comfortable sharing any more details, so I asked for his ID and where he was calling from. He said he was ringing from Ruislip in London, and I told him that’s not where TPS is based, then ended the call. I’ve reported it to TPS and stressed how important it is they take action.AmazonBTMicrosoftRuislipLondonTPS5 yearsI just received a call from this number. They didn't bother to leave a message. What a waste of time, honestly!5 yearsGot a call from an Indian guy claiming to be from BT, saying my router's overloaded and asking how many devices I have connected. He wanted me to log in so he could fix it remotely. I said to send a technician instead, but he kept insisting I log in. Ended up just hanging up. The number was 02088 368 517.BT5 years02088569480 - best to ignore calls from 02088 numbers, they usually don’t leave any voicemail.5 yearsGot a call from 02088 663 639, said to be from London. Seen this number pop up before and told em to buzz off. They rang again today but I didn’t even pick up, just blocked the call straight away and haven’t heard since. Never pick up these random calls, just block em right away!London5 years02088646693 called me around 11 this morning claiming to be from Amazon, asking if I’d given permission for a gift card to be delivered somewhere in London. The accent was really hard to make out so I just ended the call.AmazonLondon5 yearsNot sure who it was, didn’t say anything just hung up.5 years02088011286 just rang me at 10:35 am, and it was a live person, not some pre-recorded message. Pretty sure it was a scam.5 yearsI've just received another call from 02088 ###, and I must say, I'm absolutely fed up with it. Is there any way I can uncover who’s behind this number?5 yearsI’m absolutely knackered from the constant calls!6 years02088445625 kept ringing me but once I picked up they just went silent. Today they said it was about Covid but I just hung up straight away.Covid6 yearsThis phone number is linked to a cybercafé.6 years02088 - Some scammers pretending to be from my internet company called me, trying to freak me out about supposed issues with my connection and saying my computer had viruses. They asked me to open certain system files. While still on the call, I searched the command they told me to run (eventvwr) and quickly realised it was a common scam. I ended the call. They rang back later, but hung up when I told them to look it up themselves. Still, they keep phoning every day, just from different numbers.6 yearsI've been getting loads of calls from 02088047571 recently.6 yearsI've received several calls from this number, and oddly enough, there's never anyone on the line. It's getting rather peculiar at this point!6 yearsGot a call from 02088, seemed like a total scam, the bloke on the line had a heavy accent and could hardly speak English, then he just hung up on me.6 yearsI've had five calls from a chap named Aj using the number 02088###, who insists he's from HMRC. I decided to end the conversation rather swiftly.HMRC6 yearsI've been getting the same phone call as well.6 yearsI usually do the same when the phone rings, just dont bother answering it. Leave it ringing and ignore it, and you’ll be fine. Fingers crossed none of my family end up working for the BBC though, then theyd have to open up and say hello to the licence guy. The number I got called from was 020883 60021.Beeb6 yearsSomething really has to be done to get rid of these scammy idiots for good.6 yearsGot called twice within about five minutes, both from numbers beginning with 02088. The people on the line sounded like they were from the subcontinent. Told them to go back where they came from and not to ring me again.6 yearsI had a rather dodgy phone call from an Indian chap using the number 02088### who claimed to be representing the National Crime Agency. He was after my National Insurance number, insisting there was some sort of fraudulent activity linked to it. I promptly hung up, only to be bothered again just five minutes later by another Indian gentleman from a different number, who was making the same request. Quite the nuisance, I must say!National Crime Agency6 yearsGot a call from a bloke in India saying he was from the NCA, said there was fraud on my account and wanted my national insurance number. I ended the call after about five mins. Then he rang again from the number 0370 4967 622 asking for the same info. Bit suspicious if you ask me.NCA6 years02088009996 called me but just ended the call when I picked up.6 yearsI received a call from 02088### and the moment I picked up, the caller abruptly disconnected. Quite peculiar, really!6 yearsGot a call on my landline from a woman sayin my washing machine insurance was about to expire, I was like what washing machine? She said Bosch but I dont even own a Bosch. Kinda odd she knew my name though. I’ve been checkin Argos site a couple times for prices coz I might need one soon, maybe had insurance way back like 20 years ago. Just thought I’d warn folks to watch out.BoschArgos6 yearsGot a call today from an asian guy claiming he was from BT, saying there was an issue with my internet speed. He started asking loads of questions about my computer and told me to press the windows key and the letter r at the same time. When I got suspicious and asked more, he just said my speed was only 20mbs and told me to stick it where the sun doesn’t shine, then he hung up.BT6 yearsgot a call from some voice claiming to be from bt, said there was a problem and made me press a button to sort it out, but the issue wasnt real at all.BT7 yearsGot a call around midday today with a robotic voice (spoke really clearly) saying £600 was taken from my bank card and sent overseas. It told me to press 1 for help. We just ended the call and looked it up, turns out it’s a scam number so watch out. Don’t press any buttons!7 years02088 184226 rang and left a voicemail saying i’d won half a million on a lottery. I dont play the lottery, so it was obvious this was a scam.7 yearsReceived a call from 02088 768457 pretending to be my internet company. They said my service would be cut off because of some fraudulent stuff.7 yearsI got a missed call from 02088 ###, so I decided to ring them back out of curiosity. When I did, I spoke to a lady who sounded either Indian or Asian - she seemed quite baffled about the call. After a moment, she transferred me to a gentleman who was quite elderly, but he didn't have a clue what it was all about. It’s making me think that there might be some shady characters out there, possibly hijacking other people's phone numbers for scams. Rather concerning, if you ask me!7 yearsI received a call from the number 02088 ###. I answered with a cheerful 'hello' three times, but there was complete silence on the other end. Rather peculiar, I must say!7 yearsim really fed up with all these calls to my folks house. being partially sighted, ive got enough stress everyday without this nonsense. these calls just make things worse for me. i want them to take my home number off their list or i'll have no choice but to look into legal steps.7 yearsHonestly, they seriously should just put a stop to these for good.7 yearsThe phone went off, so I picked it up - greeted with a 'hello', then silence.

It was a pre-recorded message claiming to be from HMRC, stating that they were initiating legal proceedings against me and that there was an arrest warrant issued!
