02381683004 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02381683004 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving calls from a young-sounding male claiming to be from estate planning or government departments. Callers pressure recipients about new government regulations affecting homeownership and care home fees, often using threatening or misleading language that targets vulnerable or elderly individuals. Many calls are unsolicited, repeatedly hang up when challenged, and originate despite registration with the Telephone Preference Service. Background noises and unnatural voices suggest possible AI use. Some attempts also promote dubious healthcare alarms or seek sensitive personal information. The number frequently disconnects calls without leaving messages, and recipients are urged to avoid engagement, block the caller, and report such activities to protect themselves from potential fraud.

Got a call from this number earlier today.

A guy called 'Sam' from some 'Estate Planning Helpline' told me I was about to lose my house. Sounds like a dodgy scam to me. His voice sounded off, like maybe it was AI or something. When I asked what the call was about, he just dropped the line. Proper fishy if you ask me.

Got a call from some young bloke with an English accent asking if I was aware of the latest government rules about managing estates and how to prepare for moving into a care home. I mentioned that my son’s a solicitor who specialises in wills and probate (which is true), and he just ended the convo quickly with a “have a nice day” out of nowhere! Told myself this was definitely some dodgy scam. Watch out, folks!

Got a call on my landline, which isn’t listed anywhere. I never pick up when I don’t recognise the number. After reading some reviews, looks like scammers are spreading out to new places. I’m in West Yorkshire, so watch out folks.

Got a call on my landline, which isn’t listed anywhere, from someone claiming to be Sam from the estate management company. There was all sorts of strange sounds in the back, so I was a bit suspicious. I checked, and the number for my real estate folks is saved on my phone, and this definitely wasn’t them. Ended the call straight away before he could say more. Since I can’t block numbers on my landline, I’m just not gonna pick up if it rings again.

Got a call from a bloke speaking really proper English, said he was Sam from some "Estate Planning Office", going on about new rules for homeowners. Complete rubbish if you ask me. I’m on the TPS list, so they really shouldn't be ringing me up. Plus, I rent from a Housing Association, and they handle all that sort of stuff with the properties here, always on top of the latest rules. Didn’t bother giving him any details though. Just told him straight up he sounded like a scammer, and he cut me off right away.

It appears they’ve got some sort of auto-dialler in play-there's quite a noticeable delay before a voice comes on the line. The caller then launched into a lengthy spiel about safeguarding my estate against care fees should I find myself in a nursing home situation. I had to inform them that I’m all on my own and politely bid them farewell.

Got a call from a bloke with a posh accent who said he was from some sort of Estates Office or the like. He was going on about something the government’s doing, mentioned the BBC, but I cut him off quick, said I don’t watch telly and had no clue what he was yammering about. He got all flustered, mumbled an apology for bothering me, and then hung up sharpish. I’ve blocked the number now - smells a bit dodgy if you ask me, and if it was legit, he’d probably have stayed calm and explained what it was all about properly!

Got a call on my home phone from this number, supposedly from my local council’s welfare office - I’m based just outside London, but the call came from Southampton, apparently. They were pushing some kind of emergency alarm for a shocking price, something like £1.33 a day, which totals over £480 a year! I just let them carry on, noticed loads of slip-ups in the automated message. At one point, it asked if I could hear it after I didn’t answer one question. I shot back asking if it could hear me, and when did welfare offices start using robots? Then the call just ended.

Got a call from some bloke saying he was a health rep around here, trying to sell me some kind of pendant. He went on asking if I had loads of health problems.

Just a heads up, there’s a new scam going about. Someone claiming to be from healthcare keeps calling, but won’t tell you which company they’re with. They’re really keen on pushing so-called ‘free’ medical pendants. They say things like “You’re entitled to this” but then start asking loads of personal stuff and about your health problems. If it was legit and I was truly entitled, surely they’d already have my doctor’s info, right?

He was nice at first but kept asking if I could hear him properly like 5 or 6 times. That made me suspicious straight away, so I said I reckon this is a scam. He said sorry and then just hung up. Pretty sure it’s a dodgy call.
