A few days back, I attempted to block this number but it didn’t do any good. A woman with a Northern accent called me, claiming she spoke to me about buying books back in March 2017. She even said the call was recorded! If you get a call from this number, don’t share any info with them. I’ve reported them to Action Fraud and strongly recommend you do the same if you experience something similar, otherwise they’ll just keep on going.

Got a call earlier from a woman saying thanks for sponsoring a nearby school, then telling me the sponsorship had finished and asking where to send the bill if I wanted to keep supporting. I’ve had calls from this number before so I just ended the call straight away.

They hung up the moment I picked up the phone.

For over a decade now, this company has been running the same dodgy scheme and yet nothing’s been done to stop them! Seriously, why hasn’t anyone stepped in? The phone provider really should cut off their line immediately.

Total rip off! The moment I said I hadn't signed up for any school stuff or anything, she just ended the call straight away.

this number wont stop ringin me. every time i pick up, they just drop the call. thought maybe it was urgent so i dialled it back, but no luck, it’s like the number’s dead or something. tried blocking it now, fingers crossed it’ll stay quiet!

I got a call too, they were thanking me for backing some health and safety stuff for schools and said they put my name in a booklet. I told them I don’t run a business and never gave permission for anything like that, then they just cut me off.

Got a call from 020 8894 798 saying we’d spoken back in April about me sponsoring some anti-bullying leaflet for schools, and they wanted to know where to send the bill. I asked loads of questions because I was certain I never said yes to anything like that. They said the cost was £199! Absolutely no way I’d agree to that, feels like a proper scam to me. When I made it clear I wasn’t interested, the woman ended the call sharpish. These sort of people really ought to be stopped.

What a joke! Got a call earlier saying we’d chatted before and that I’d agreed to support some crime prevention leaflet. Been getting these calls on and off for about 7 years now, so I just told her to jog on and called her out as a total liar. How come they’re still pulling this after all this time?! They really need to be shut down!!!

I asked if he was expecting my call and after I mentioned FD by name, he just hung up. Honestly, I'm so tired of these constant spam calls! Wish there was a way to stop them for good.

Got a call earlier saying thanks for sponsoring some kids protection program, that now the payments were due. Thing is, we have never sponsored anything like that! It's gotta be a scam, no doubt about it. People like that should definitely be reported, such lowlifes. What a nasty trick.

Got a call earlier today from someone claiming we'd talked a while back about sponsoring kids' books. I told her she must be mistaken as we'd never chatted before, then she just ended the call.

Got a call earlier claiming it was about some school book sponsorship we supposedly did, maybe ages ago in March or something. I told them I had no clue what they were going on about, but they kept pushing, asking which school to put the books in. I just kept saying I had no idea what they meant, and then they ended the call. Feels like they want you to name a school so they can say you’ve agreed to sponsor books there or use that to sneak your payment info. Best bet? Don’t say anything, just tell them you didn’t order anything and hang up right away. Don't get drawn into any chat.

Got a call earlier saying I’d sponsored some books for schools about internet safety and kids. Sounded dodgy straight away, so I told them it wasn’t me. Seems like they just send you a bill for stuff you never agreed to. Total scam if you ask me.

Loads of people have mentioned it’s a total scam, so my best advice is just to end the call straight away. On the plus side, after they called me three times, I actually upset the woman on the other end and she ended up crying.

How come the police haven't shut this scam down yet? It's pretty worrying that these things keep happening without any action.

They keep ringing my phone, but as soon as I pick up, they just drop the call straight away.

This number has called our office several times over the past few days, but whenever we pick up, they just drop the call. Definitely feeling like a scammer to me :(

Absolute sc@m, these muppets claim you’ve signed up to advertise for sick kids. When I asked for any proof, like a voice recording or something, and told her off proper, she just hung up on me. Total idiots trying to take the mick.

They called me with the wrong name again, just another usual scam trying to con us out of money.

Honestly, I don't get how these people manage to sleep at night - it's just sickening. I just got a call from them and had absolutely no clue what on earth the woman was babbling about. Total nonsense.

This number’s been ringing me daily for the past week. The first time I picked up, they just went quiet and hung up. Since then, they’ve been nonstop calling, probably cos they know someone’s on the other end. Weirdly enough, their number seems to be missing a digit or something - definitely not a full phone number.

They called me again, saying I agreed to pay £159 to sponsor books for a school nearby. Then they asked if the school could send me a thank you note or visit me personally. Obviously, they were just trying to get my address or email for an invoice!

Got a call from 0208894798, some scammer pretending to be from Child Protection Services. They said we had spoken before and that I agreed to pay some kind of advertising fee. Honestly, it sounded fishy straight away. Definitely report it to Action Fraud, the more reports they get the better the chances they’ll do something about it. Just Google "Action Fraud" and pick the option about being asked to pay upfront with promises like a job, lottery, inheritance or insurance. Stay safe!

Got a call from Safety Guide Services, they claimed they’d sponsor primary schools starting in March, and wanted me to ring back to hear a recorded message agreeing to it. I called her a liar, and she got all defensive. It's nuts that the police don’t do anything about this rubbish - total joke!

Got a call from these lot claiming we supposedly agreed in March to sponsor books for a primary school. Now, in July, they say they can donate to any school we pick and will send us an invoice. Absolutely no one here has ever talked to them before or agreed to any of this. Total scam if you ask me.

Got a call claiming we’d promised to sponsor books at a primary school - we never did. They said they’d send an invoice, turns out it was for £200. No way am I paying that!

Had a call earlier from some dodgy lot claiming we’d agreed to sponsor some event or whatever. When I told them I had no clue what they were on about, they said they’d ring back with a voice recording proving we’d consented. Total scam, just hang up straight away if you get called by them.

Got a call from this number saying they have these online safety books for schools ready to send out, and asked if I wanted to pick some schools to receive the ones I supposedly sponsored! I got caught by a similar con before, so I wasn’t falling for it again. The woman even insisted someone from their group had contacted me back in March - yeah, sure!

Got a call from someone saying they were "Safety Guide Services" based in Manchester, told me our company had agreed to donate some books to primary schools and wanted about £200. They had my name but I've never dealt with them at all. Felt like a dodgy scam from years ago popped back up.

It was pretty obvious straight away this was a sales pitch. They took a bit too long, got my name totally wrong, and when I didn’t go along with it, they became quite rude.
