Phone number ☎️ 02381879998 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance caller linked to a supposed National Advice or Hearing Centre, frequently targeting individuals with false claims about factory work and potential hearing loss compensation.

Many recipients experience repeated harassment despite requests to be removed from databases or blocking attempts.

The overall consensus is to avoid engaging, block the number, and report the nuisance to relevant authorities, as the caller's intent appears to be to pressure or confuse rather than provide genuine assistance.
Reports on phone number 02381879998
5 yearsReceived a call that went completely silent, only to be cut off after around ten seconds. Quite strange!11 years"National Advice Clinic" They inquired whether I was experiencing difficulties securing appointments at my GP practice or hospital outpatient services. Can you believe it??????National Advice Clinic11 yearsI’ve been receiving calls from the national advice helpline, and honestly, it’s been a distressing experience. They’ve accused me of being dishonest and have mocked me, which is just not right. I’m currently on morphine and using fentanyl patches after surgery, and instead of offering support, they’re interrupting my rest every single day. It’s making me emotional and overwhelmed-I really don’t know how to make it stop. This kind of treatment shouldn’t be tolerated!11 yearsI received a call earlier today, and the person on the other end insisted I reveal my identity. When I refused to comply, they had the audacity to insult me by asking if I was a 'moron'. I genuinely hope they ring me again; I'd love to tie them up in a lengthy conversation. It's utterly unbelievable!11 yearsI'm at my wit's end with these persistent callers! They keep dialling my mobile relentlessly, and I'm at a loss as to how to block them effectively. Any tips on getting rid of these nuisances would be greatly appreciated!11 yearsI keep receiving calls from these individuals chatting about hearing services, but when I query them, they provide names that seem completely fabricated. I've searched online and can't find a trace of them under those aliases.11 yearsI received a phone call from some telemarketer claiming to have information on hearing problems. Quite frankly, I'm not interested in whatever they're peddling. It’s all rather annoying, isn’t it?11 yearsThis morning, I received a phone call from a rather polite young woman whose name eluded me. She inquired about me directly, claiming she was representing the National Hearing Centre. Interestingly, she mentioned their records suggested I was employed in an industry, which, I must clarify, is not the case at all. Upon hearing that, I promptly ended the call.National Hearing Centre11 yearsReceived a call today, but they didn't bother to leave a message. Quite curious, really!11 yearsI just received a rather peculiar phone call from this number. The caller, sounding quite pushy, randomly mentioned both my and my husband's first names. Then, out of the blue, they inquired if either of us had any experience working in a factory. When I told them we hadn’t, they abruptly ended the conversation and hung up on me! There was quite a racket in the background, too. The chap on the other end was decidedly curt and completely failed to mention the purpose of his call. It really gets on my nerves! I can’t stand rudeness! I reckon it’s just another one of those companies pestering us about compensation - it feels like they think they're entitled to invade our privacy every single day!11 yearsI received a call earlier from a chap claiming to be Adam, ringing in from the Birmingham Health Centre. He wanted me to verify my address, which seemed a bit odd. When I inquired about the purpose of his call, the line suddenly went silent. Quite peculiar, if you ask me!AdamBirmingham Health Centre11 yearsI just had a chap ring me up, identified himself as Adam, trying to schedule a hearing assessment for me at some clinic miles away. The back-and-forth between us was quite the ordeal! No matter how hard I tried, he just wouldn't grasp that I hadn’t set anything like this up. After a few moments of this banter, he abruptly ended the call! I can't help but chuckle... could it be that I’m now part of some training exercise? Ha!Adam11 yearsReceived a call today at 1 PM. The number flashed up as being from Southampton, yet the caller claimed to be associated with a clinic from Billingham, a place where I used to reside around six years back. They mentioned I had an appointment for a hearing assessment. Upon inquiring whether they had the correct number, they abruptly terminated the call. Odd behaviour, to say the least!SouthamptonBillingham11 yearsReceived a call earlier today-there was a lot of background chatter, typical of an office environment, but nobody on the other end said a word.11 yearsI received a call on my mobile today from the National Advice Service regarding employment in a factory and potential compensation. I informed them that my number is listed with the Telephone Preference Service, but they gave me some nonsense about how numbers sometimes get through by mistake. I ended the call, only to be contacted again by the same individual from 07504013124.National Advice ServiceTelephone Preference Service11 yearsI've just received a call from the same number, and they were calling my name directly. When I confirmed it was me, I could hear a bit of background noise, almost like an office buzz, but then it went dead silent. I asked if anyone was on the line twice, and out of nowhere, they just disconnected. I'm left wondering - do they really manage to persuade anyone with this sort of nonsense?11 yearsI received a call from this number, and they mentioned my name right off the bat. They claimed to be arranging an appointment for me at a nearby hearing clinic-correctly named, I might add-this Thursday. Curious about their reasoning, I inquired further, only to hear them suggest it was due to possible 'industrial hearing issues' linked to factory employment. I explained that I’ve never been employed in a factory setting, and just like that, the line went dead. What on earth could their intentions be?11 yearsMentioned he had details about my supposed employment in a factory. When I told him I had never set foot in one, he abruptly ended the call.11 yearsReceived a call on my landline earlier. I picked it up and greeted with a 'Hello'. Repeated it once more, and then they just cut the line. I’m registered with the Telephone Preference Service, but it seems to be utterly useless.Telephone Preference Service11 yearsI recently received a call on my mobile from this number. The fellow on the line claimed that I'd been employed in a factory some years back... quite a surprise for me! Of course, as soon as I mentioned that I hadn’t worked in such a place, he promptly hung up! Quite the cheek, isn't it?11 yearsI can't seem to shake them off! Despite my attempts to request removal from their database, they keep ringing me persistently. I've been courteous, brusque, you name it, but nothing seems to deter them!11 yearsReceived a phone call today from someone who seemed all too familiar with my name. They started talking about an accident I supposedly had while employed in a factory. I was taken aback as I've never working in a factory at all! When I tried to clarify, the chap abruptly cut the line. Quite bizarre, really!11 yearsGot a call checking if I was savin' or investing or somethin', just hung up straight away.11 yearsI received a call from this number earlier today. It was a woman chuckling before suddenly disconnecting after about four seconds. Quite baffling, to be honest!11 yearsI barely caught the name they mentioned, which was completely unfamiliar to me. Just as I was about to ask them to clarify, they hung up. Quite impolite, if you ask me!11 yearsI've received a call from this firm for the fourth occasion now, despite having asked them to take my details off their list. The woman on the line was incredibly disrespectful and rather aggressive, which prompted me to disconnect the call.11 yearsI've received a plethora of calls on my landline, with the most recent one being on 19th February 2015, which I've now managed to block. Somehow, they've managed to get my mobile number, but I assure you, they won't be getting a response from me anytime soon. These pesky callers from Southampton really need to find something better to do with their time!Southampton11 yearsI received a phone call where the line went dead as soon as I answered, and the call ended right after. It really makes one wonder why these scammers or dubious companies seem to get away with this nonsense. Shouldn't our telecommunications providers be doing more to shield us from such bothersome calls? It’s rather frustrating!11 yearsThey just won't stop bothering me about my hearing issues!11 yearsI received a call from a company that handles claims for compensation related to hearing impairment acquired from working in a particularly loud factory setting. To my surprise, the individual on the other end was already aware of my name and address. However, when I mentioned my employment in the banking sector, they abruptly ended the conversation. How peculiar!11 yearsJust received a call from someone who claimed to be my neighbour, even using my first name and knowing where I live. Then, they started calling me something that I could only make out as sounding quite rude, perhaps "silly cow," thanks to their thick Asian accent. It really gave me a bit of a fright, I must admit!11 yearsI received a call on the 19th of February, 2015, inquiring about a certain Mr. Long - but that individual is certainly not me!Long11 yearsIt calls me a minimum of twice each week, which is rather infuriating. I've gone ahead and blocked this number now.11 yearsPicked up the phone and someone inquired about a Mrs B. When I probed for more details, they promptly disconnected. Does anyone know how I can put an end to these nuisance calls? This was on my home phone.B11 yearsReceived a call at 11:11 on the 19th of February 2015. Initially, there was no connection, but then the caller requested to speak to Mrs B.......... I inquired about the nature of his call, but he abruptly disconnected before I could inform him that there isn't a Mrs at this residence and to refrain from calling again. Quite frustrating, really!B11 yearsMy mobile buzzed, followed by my landline ringing. Upon picking up, I overheard a bloke chatting away about a clinic before he abruptly ended the call. Very peculiar indeed!11 yearsAnswered the call and all I caught was "that git" before they disconnected. How bizarre!12 yearsThis number is relentless! They’ve been ringing me on both my mobile and landline, and it's becoming rather tiresome. I'm fairly certain it's the most persistent nuisance I've encountered. I never pick up since I don’t recognise this number at all. Decided to do a bit of sleuthing on this site to uncover any details. Time to hit the block button!12 yearsWhat a bother these incessant calls are! I’m absolutely fed up with their relentless ringing.12 yearsI had the misfortune of encountering a rather impolite individual named SARAH on the phone. It’s bewildering how someone can be so misinformed yet still be employed in such a role. Her grasp on the facts was rather lacking, which makes me question what her employer must think about her performance. When I confronted her about her rather shabby manner, she simply ended the call without a word. It’s hard to see how she can be contributing positively to her business with such poor information and behaviour.SARAH12 yearsBe wary of the National Advice Clinic's call centre. I'd steer clear if I were you!National Advice Clinic12 yearsI was on the line when I distinctly overheard someone from this firm say, "....is an absolute tosser." Once they realised I could hear them, the operative's immediate reaction was to deny it, claiming, "I’ve never used an expletive in my life." I then told her I thought she was being disingenuous, and that ended any chance of further discussion. While I wasn't particularly bothered by the comment, I felt compelled to suggest that they should be more mindful of their language, especially with calls that may be live. Ironically, despite my understanding attitude, they abruptly cut me off before I could even find out what the call was about!12 yearsThey just keep ringing and ringing! It's relentless!12 yearsI received a call inquiring about my wife. However, when I pressed for details, they promptly ended the conversation. Quite peculiar, especially given what others have mentioned on this site.12 yearsI received a rather peculiar phone call today. A woman was keen to discuss my so-called years toiling away in a factory. Quite amusing, really, as I’m actually a teacher! Is this some sort of stereotype folks in Southampton hold about us Northerners? The moment I mentioned I’d never set foot in a factory, she abruptly ended the call. Quite the odd experience!Southampton12 yearsAn absolute bother of a caller, really.12 yearsI received a rather curious phone call from a chap introducing himself as Kyle, who claimed to be connected with a National Advice Line based in Sheffield. Strangely enough, he seemed to know my name right off the bat, which put me on edge. He began probing into my supposed five years of experience in the industry, a fact I quickly realised was entirely fabricated. As soon as I pointed this out, he abruptly disconnected the call. Quite the odd encounter if you ask me!KyleNational Advice LineSheffield12 yearsI keep getting calls from this number, and as soon as I pick up, they just hang up. It’s rather unsettling, especially being a pensioner. I've decided to block the number entirely. Additionally, I've taken the step of removing my details from the electoral roll. I’ve heard that unscrupulous individuals often scour that list to find numbers in their chosen areas for nefarious purposes. I really hope sharing this experience helps someone else out there!12 yearsI seem to keep receiving calls from this number about once or twice monthly. They’re always inquiring about a 'Mr Lee', which I repeatedly inform them I am not. The moment I clarify this, they promptly hang up. I've tried blocking every number that contacts me, yet they somehow manage to ring in from a different one. It’s incredibly frustrating!Lee12 yearsI keep getting these blasted calls at home from someone asking for a person who’s never even set foot in this house. It’s really quite irritating!12 yearsReceived a call but they ended it abruptly-definitely getting them BLOCKED!12 yearsI've been receiving some missed calls from this number, and I reckon it’s wise to steer clear of answering. Picking up might just give them the impression that this line is active. Best to play it safe!12 yearsThe moment I picked up, they just disconnected the call. I tried calling back, only to be greeted by a pre-recorded message stating it was the National Advice Line, along with a number for further contact.National Advice Line12 yearsI keep getting calls from this number, but I've chosen to ignore them every time.12 yearsI received a rather peculiar phone call where the caller informed me that the industrial board had alerted them about my supposed hearing impairment due to exposure to loud working environments. Naturally, I inquired which industrial board they represented and where this information had been sourced from, as well as requesting the board's address. To my surprise, they abruptly ended the call without providing any answers. Upon attempting to reach them again, I was given a different contact number, 01157629990, for lodging a complaint. However, when I dialled it, I was met with a recorded message indicating that no one was available to take my call, followed by the line going silent. This incessant ringing from this number is incredibly frustrating; it appears that once they have your contact details, they incessantly pester you, seemingly out of spite if you don’t respond according to their desires.12 yearsI had a rather odd phone call where the other party took their time connecting. Once the line was engaged, I simply greeted with a "hello," and was met with an utterly vile response: "you f****** slag b****." The caller promptly cut the line right after that! Without a doubt, this is an absolute nuisance of a caller.12 yearsI encountered a similar situation; the moment I inquired about the source of their details, they promptly ended the call.12 yearsI received a call from an Asian gentleman who inquired whether I had any experience working in a factory or industrial setting. It’s rather typical, isn't it? When I pressed him for the name of the company he was representing, he began to curse in what sounded like an Asian language. At that point, I decided it was best to hang up the phone.12 yearsAnother day, another annoyance! The phone rang, I picked it up, and before I knew it, they disconnected the call. So frustrating!12 yearsI’m experiencing the same thing here.12 yearsGave us a bell but didn’t respond, and now they've been cut off!12 yearsJust like the others, they rang up, mumbled something unintelligible, then promptly ended the call. What’s the point of that nonsense?12 yearsThis number gives me a ring and starts chatting about something, but then the connection just cuts out.12 yearsHad a call that I unfortunately didn't catch.12 yearsWe answered this phone number and were immediately met with an appalling vulgarity. We responded with a “pardon?” and, quite abruptly, the caller hung up.12 yearsI received a call from this number earlier today but chose not to answer. I think I’ll just go ahead and block it!12 yearsExactly the same situation here. Received a call from them, answered the phone, but then there was just this eerie silence lasting three to four minutes before they hung up. They've been blocked now!12 yearsReceived a call on our mobile and, as soon as we answered, the caller asked for someone named Mrs. When we didn't answer as expected, they huffed and exclaimed something quite rude before hanging up. How delightful!12 yearsI received a call from them on the 18th of February 2015 at precisely 1:37 PM.Submit Your Own Report (023 8187 9998)
