0247 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 0247 👆 is reported as a persistent source of scam calls and nuisance telemarketing, often using various local 0247 numbers. Callers frequently pretend to represent utility companies, telecommunications providers, or other official-sounding businesses, attempting to extract personal information or money. Many report silent calls, hang-ups, or strange messages, including fake refund offers, supposed technical issues, or fraudulent subscription claims. The calls often have difficult-to-understand accents and may use manipulative tactics, such as urgent warnings or impersonations. Recipients are advised not to answer unfamiliar 0247 numbers, avoid returning calls, and block these numbers when possible. Most importantly, users should never disclose sensitive information or follow suspicious instructions from such calls.

Got a voicemail from 0247 5420197 saying they were from some water company regulator and we were owed money back for our business bills since 2017. I didn’t pick up but they left that message. I didn’t bother calling back. If there was actually a refund, I'd expect Welsh Water to get in touch directly, not some random number.

Got a call from 0247 795 9965 today. Normally, I don’t pick up calls from numbers I don’t know. I decided to look it up and found out that 0247 numbers are often linked to utility scams. So just a heads up, be careful with calls from this number!

No voicemail or anything, but they just keep calling nonstop.

The bloke sounded hard to understand with his accent, but he said he was calling from O2 about some changes from the partnership with Virgin Media. He was asking for my email address, but I wasn’t too sure about giving it out.

Got a call from a 0247 number but didn’t pick up. Later got a voicemail from someone claiming to be a 91 year old lady, seemed quite upset, asking if I could help with gardening but said she’s short on cash. Didn’t ring back - felt kinda odd, maybe it’s one of those premium rate traps or just a sneaky scam starting?

I keep getting calls from similar numbers like 0247 526 4464 on my phone over the past half year. Now, I just let them go straight to voicemail and add them to my contacts as "idiots". Once I actually picked up, the guy claimed he was from BT Broadband, but I dont even use their service, so I ended the call quick lol.

Got a call from 0247 795 9994 on both the 9th and 10th of December. A lady said she was ringing from a firm named Knightsbridge. She told me I was entitled to a £200 cheque about my insurance. I said I wasn’t interested but she just kept going, so in the end I had to just hang up.

Its a total con. They want you to visit some sketchy site that can cause all sorts of hassle. The smartest thing is to just mess with them / humour them. Whatever you do, dont go on the website.
