9 yearsIs there a way to block this number? It keeps calling and then just hangs up. Quite frustrating, to be honest!9 yearsThey somehow knew who I was but wouldn’t tell me how they got my info. Tried to sell me something so I just ended the call. Total waste of time.9 yearsI’ve had two calls from them this week as well and I never signed up to buy any books or anything. Purely a dodgy firm trying to scam people! If they ring me one more time, I’m seriously thinking of getting a lawyer involved and taking legal action for the money I lost.9 yearsLooks like all the comments here are spot on. I’ve had two calls from them this week even tho I never said I wanted to buy any books or anything. They’re definitely trying to scam people. If they ring me again, I’m seriously thinking about getting a lawyer and taking legal action for the time I’ve wasted.9 yearsGot a call from someone named Amanda claiming I’d supposedly agreed to promote safety books for schools a while ago. When I told her, "No, I don’t recall that," she just hung up straight away. Total scam, be wary.Amanda9 yearsIt was a total scam, I informed Trading Standards as well as the local police about it and they agreed it was dodgy. Definitely don’t share any personal info with them.Trading Standards9 yearsGot a call about some textbooks, sounded like a total scam. So daft!9 yearsScam alert - they claimed I owed money for textbooks, even though I already talked to them about it before! Totally false!9 yearsIt was pretty much the same as what I saw before, they said something about backing school stuff nearby but as soon as I told them we weren’t involved, they just cut the call. It’s mad to think people actually choose to do these dodgy scams knowingly! Total scam!9 yearsGot a call from someone saying we’d signed up to back an internet campaign in March, and that it’s all wrapped up now. When I told them I was certain we never agreed to any of it, they just hung up on me. Total scam, if you ask me.9 yearsGot a call from a lady chatting about safety stuff. Once she ended the call, I shifted to a quieter spot in the house. You can block these numbers, but somehow another keeps popping up. They're really annoying and I really feel bad for the more vulnerable people who have to deal with them.9 yearsGot called by someone trying to sell me something that was total rubbish and definitely a scam. Complete false advertising. Avoid!9 yearsHey, yeah they rang me earlier and I was just trying to get some info on who they were. I'm pretty sure I didn’t agree to sign up for anything but we’ll wait and see! It’s so frustrating how these calls bother people who are just trying to get on with their day.9 yearsI had pretty much the same thing happen to me as the person who posted on 23/08/2017, mentioned down there. Now I’m just hanging around, waiting for them to ring me back with the recording. That’s when things might get a bit tricky for them!! Honestly, the folks behind this number seem dodgy and ought to be looked into. Isn’t scamming actually illegal? I’ll post again if I get a call back.9 yearsWhat a load of nonsense! They rang me claiming I had contributed to a child safety initiative at a school, insisting it was a tremendous success and that a thank-you package was on its way to me. Just as I was about to ask, "Excuse me, what are you rambling on about?" they abruptly ended the call. How cheeky!9 yearsGot this call while I was at the office... it was quite persistent and wouldn’t let up.9 yearsUtterly fraudulent - They attempted to claim I had consented to promote their Local Schools Campaign. When I expressed my confusion about their claims, they abruptly disconnected the call. Stay vigilant; they clearly conduct some background checks, as they were aware of my name and business information.9 yearsAbsolute nonsense! They persistently ring up, asking for a specific individual by name - it can't be that tricky to uncover who manages a business, can it? But when you request them to provide a contact number or drop an email, they just respond with some vague promise to call back later. Highly suspicious, if you ask me!9 yearsYet another dodgy call! They rang me up claiming that I’d consented to something half a year back. Apparently, they need 15,000 businesses to back their leaflets directed at schools, and they went on about how sorry they were for the hold-up in getting it sorted. Then they wanted to know which schools I'd like to nominate locally. I straight away refused them.9 yearsAbsolutely, it's definitely a dodgy con. They’ll have the audacity to assert that you've somehow consented to feature in some nonsense publication aimed at schools, all in a bid to extract money from you. These chancers often record their calls and lead with questions designed to elicit a 'yes' response from you. They'll then take this snippet of you agreeing and splice it with another recording where they probe whether you'd be interested in advertising. The goal? To use this fabricated evidence as ‘proof’ that you’ve signed up for their advertising scheme. Your best approach? Simply tell them to 'do one' and they’ll soon cut the line.9 yearsEvery time they call, I answer with the company name and they just cut off straight away. Tried calling them back but the line just ends with no one there. This has happened around 3 times now.9 yearsAbsolutely - it’s a right con. These chancers will insist that you’ve somehow given your word to promote an absolute load of rubbish in some dodgy magazine or leaflet aimed at schools, and then they’ll attempt to extort money from you. They often record their calls, trying to fish for a 'yes' from you during the conversation. Once they've got that, they cleverly splice it together with a recording of them asking if you'd be interested in advertising, making it sound as though you consented. It’s a sneaky ploy they use to try and ‘prove’ you agreed to their nonsense. The best course of action? Tell them to 'bugger off' and watch how quickly they cut the line!9 yearsYeah, definitely a scam. They’ll try to convince you that you supposedly signed up to promote something in a dodgy magazine or pamphlet aimed at schools, then squeeze money out of you. Usually, they’ll record the convo and try to trap you into saying “yes.” After that, they splice your ‘yes’ with their questions to make it sound like you agreed to advertise. They use this doctored tape as “proof” to get cash outta you. Honestly, the easiest way is to just tell them to shove off - they’re pretty quick to hang up after that.9 yearsI expressed my gratitude to the organisation for involving us in their educational initiative, and they indicated they were prepared to settle the payment. When I sought clarification on what they were referring to, they abruptly ended the call. It's quite clear this was a scam.9 yearsI didn't pick up as I missed the call, and they didn't leave any voicemail either.9 yearsSomebody called claiming they’d spoken to us before and thanked us for helping with a fundraising effort. They wanted to know which school we wanted to fund for buying textbooks and asked me to confirm some details. I wasn’t sure who they were exactly, but it felt fishy because we’d never heard from them earlier. I told them I hadn’t taken any prior calls and definitely hadn’t agreed to any donations for school books. Then they said they’d need to check their records and get back to me, but honestly, it just seemed like a total scam!9 yearsI received a call at our workplace from someone wanting to chat with a colleague. When I informed them that the person they were after was unavailable, they promptly disconnected the call. I attempted to ring them back to express my frustration, but the number wouldn’t connect. Definitely sounds like a dodgy operation to me!9 yearsI received a rather peculiar call from these individuals who seemed to be expressing gratitude for my involvement in their child safety initiative, claiming it had gone splendidly well. However, they casually mentioned I had to make a payment to proceed. I was utterly baffled by their conversation and, before I could clarify, they abruptly ended the call. Just a heads up to everyone, stay vigilant!9 yearsI received a call from someone purporting to be associated with a nearby school in Northampton. They mentioned that the initiative I'd supposedly agreed to support back in March had been a success, and they were now requesting a payment of £169. When I expressed my confusion and said I wasn’t aware of any such arrangement, they abruptly ended the call. Definitely a scam!Northampton9 yearsI found myself on the phone, not a word exchanged, before they eventually disconnected.9 yearsBeware, this is a fraudulent operation! It's best not to share any personal details with these individuals.9 yearsI've just had a rather dodgy call, claiming that I had supposedly signed up to support a charitable initiative for providing books to schools in my area back in February. They were rather insistent about sending me an invoice for £169. Sounds like a bit of a scam to me!Submit Your Own Report (208875854)
