02088580186 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02088580186 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance associated with cold calls from a purported financial services company, often identifying as Basic Financial Introductions (BFI).

Numerous reports describe silent calls, hung-up calls, or background noise indicative of call centres. Many recipients note receipt of scam attempts relating to online trading, bitcoin, or fraudulent investment schemes. Calls tend to breach data protection and telemarketing regulations, with the company ignoring removal requests from databases.

There was a lot of cracking and laughing in the background, making it hard to hear what they were saying.

Had a call from some sketchy online trading firm claiming to offer basic financial info. Seems like one of those dodgy scams to me. Watch out, lads!

I got a call from what sounded like a really loud call centre, and they actually knew my name. When I asked the person to say it again because I couldn't hear properly, they just hung up on me. So rude!

I usually just ignore calls from unknown numbers that aren’t saved in my contacts... ALWAYS! If it’s urgent, they can just send a voicemail.

I usually don’t pick up calls from unknown numbers, so I let 02088580186 ring out without answering.

Got a call from some firm claiming to give online trading tips. Since I wasn’t busy, I spent a good 30 minutes pretending to be some big shot multimillionaire. Afterwards, I went on for about 10 minutes telling them how cold calling is actually against the law and demanded they remove my number from their list. Bit of a waste of time, but at least I might’ve stopped that fool from pestering anyone else.

Was tied up with work so couldnt answer. If they ring again and I’m in the mood, I might have a bit of fun winding them up.

This place was super busy and honestly felt really dodgy. I got the impression it’s just some outfit ringing up random folks purely to con them. Would seriously steer clear if I were you... total scam vibes.

02088580186 kept ringing me non stop, definitely a spammer.

So this number called me claiming to be from BFI. When I told the guy to remove me from their contacts, he then cheekily asked if he could hold onto my number just for himself and maybe meet up for a drink sometime! Obviously, I ended the call right away.

Received a call earlier and since I’m quite hard of hearing, especially with thick accents like this lady’s, it was difficult to understand her. She said she wanted to check some info, but as soon as I realised it was about money stuff I told her I wasn’t interested and ended the call. I’ve blocked the number now.

This number just rang me and I had to ask what BFI was, never come across them before and the caller had a heavy Eastern European accent. As soon as I told them I wasn’t familiar with BFI, they ended the call straight away. Definitely a dodgy call. Funny enough, I’m starting to think that all those strict GDPR rules (which really make running my small business a nightmare) might actually help curb these scams!

I got called by some dodgy finance firm that wouldn’t tell me who they were or where they got my info from. Felt like a total scam to me.

They left a few messages on my voicemail over the past few weeks, so I finally decided to block the number. Happens all the time these days.

Had some muppet on the phone trying to pull a fast one on me. Told ’em to jog on. Absolute tossers.

I picked up but all I could hear were some voices faintly in the back, then the call just dropped without any words. Not really sure what that was about.

Someone rang me, I could hear people chatting in the background but no one actually said anything to me before they just cut the call off.

I got a call from someone claiming to be from BSI. She said she wasn’t selling anything, but when I asked why she was ringing since I’m on the TPS list, she acted like she didn’t know what the TPS was. Then she just ended the call.

So, I made a Facebook account like a decade back, barely used it, and now they’re asking for my account name! It’s crazy how Facebook tricks people, but there’s no way I’m falling for their games! What a load of rubbish from these fraudsters!

There was no voice on the line, just some background noise I could hear, then they ended the call after around 5 seconds.

I tried calling them back but they didn’t pick up. Wish I’d checked this site before bothering to ring.

I told them to remove my details like three times this week, but they still rang me today. I've gone ahead and blocked the number now.

Got a call about some sort of online trading scheme. They were really pushy and quite rude as well. I just ended the call.

I got a call from some finance folks who claimed Mark Zuckerberg himself passed them my number. They went on about how he’s got all the details on me or something. Weird, right?

Got a call from someone claiming to be about basic financial stuff. Honestly, they were shockingly impolite. When I asked them to take my info off their list, they flat out said no. And before I could even find out the reason for the call, it ended. Definitely steer clear of these lot.

I told them I wasn’t interested but they kept hassling me, asking why not, if I wanted this or that. Then they asked if I was busy and said they could call back later. Honestly, just leave me alone!

Some bloke rang me claiming he was with Basic Financial Introductions, asking if I’ve ever done any online trading before.

They gave me a quick rundown about finances. Said they'd have someone ring me back if I was keen (guess it’s their way of getting permission). Since then, I've had about four calls from various numbers, all about making money online. After the second call, I told them to take me off their list, but the calls kept coming anyway.

I just let it go to voicemail and when I checked, there was no message at all. Definitely didn’t seem worth my time.

She had no clue when I mentioned I was from the TPS, totally lost for words. I mean, it’s absurd! Basic Financial Introductions calling me out of nowhere and no explanation on how they even got my details. Laughable!

Got a call from some firm claiming to be financial advisors. I told the chap, who sounded Indian, that I’m on the do not call register, but he just wouldn’t let me get a word in. I mentioned I’d missed a call from them before and asked politely not to be contacted again. He told me he had every right to call, then suddenly went nuts saying things like “are you bloody kidding me?” I just ended the call there. Honestly, how do these blokes keep a clear conscience doing this?
