02886000411 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02886000411 👆 is reported as a persistent and intrusive scam targeting mainly elderly and vulnerable individuals, falsely claiming to offer reductions on TV insurance or maintenance fees. Callers often use aggressive or rude tactics to pressure recipients into providing partial or full bank card details. They frequently use well-rehearsed scripts, appear to have prior personal information, and ignore requests to cease contact. Multiple spoofed numbers and repeated calls are common, with some victims receiving harassment after refusing to cooperate. Although some manage to waste callers’ time or block numbers, the scam remains widespread and distressing. Authorities such as Action Fraud and local trading standards are advised points of contact, but the scam’s sophistication and relentlessness make vigilance essential to avoid financial loss or fraud.

It appears these folks simply refuse to accept my refusal. I've explicitly requested to be REMOVED and CANCELLED from their database, yet my pleas seem to fall on deaf ears. I’m still inundated with their phone calls, much to my frustration. Interestingly enough, my computer reveals that they’ve amassed a staggering 1118 reports of complaints concerning scams!

After I blocked the first number, 01953205680, this one popped up from a scammer. When I caught on, they went full on abusive, even threatening to take legal steps and saying they’d report me to the cops unless I paid for some call blocking service. Totally bonkers.

I got a ring from 02886000411 yesterday, some guy claiming to be a Microsoft Certified Engineer from Tech Support. He tried to convince me my PC wasn’t updating and was somehow sending out thousands of messages, even though it’s off and not online. He even said it was linking to a satellite to send them! I told him that was complete nonsense and ended the call straight away.

Got a phone call today from 02886 000411, and the person said my computer was in trouble, pointing to the event log as proof. They wanted to remote into my PC to 'sort it out,' but I said no way. The caller kept pushing and then gave me a different number, 0800 0314016, which I looked up online and it turned out to be a plumber's number! Pretty sure this is a scam and I’m expecting them to ring back.

A lady called me twice in under half an hour but from two different numbers. She kept insisting I needed to collect my bank card. I tried to say she must have got the wrong person, but she accused me of lying. It was really distressing, to be honest.

This bloke was really pushy, kept going on about blocking calls and then suddenly asked if I wanted to update my bank info? I just ended the call. Then he rang back a few times, saying he could sort out all my unwanted calls. I told him he was the real pest and cut him off again. Be careful with these dodgy callers, they’re all scams.

Got calls from the same Asian man and a lady trying to sell me a cheaper insurance for a TV policy I don't even have. I hung on the line for more than 30 minutes feeding them fake card details. Hopefully, tying them up like that stops someone else falling for their scam.

My elderly mum kept getting calls from these lot, trying to sell her some "TV insurance." Sadly, she got tricked and ended up handing over about £140. It’s just another one of those scams messing with people who don’t deserve it.

Get a laugh out of this one, then just drop the call when they start swearing at you - these calls can be really risky.

Got a call about TV insurance and they were really pushy with my mum, trying hard to get her to say the full card number. Luckily, she didn’t share any other bank info or anything else. The bloke sounded Indian. Watch out for how fast they try to rush you - could easily catch out older folks.

There was this foreign guy who called my dad, and my dad’s got dementia. When I got there, he was actually about to hand over his bank details! It’s awful how these people prey on vulnerable folks. How on earth do you protect loved ones from these scumbags?! Really disgusting behaviour!

Got a call saying they wanted to help with my TV service fees (which I dont even have) and mentioned cutting it down from £7! Ended up chatting nicely about travelling through India instead, which was quite fun. They were surprisingly friendly. Just be polite, keep the convo going on other topics, but dont hand over any of your details!

Got a call from 01709 865902, some bloke with a strong Asian accent calling himself "BRIAN" claiming there was an issue with my TV at my place. Before he could get too far, I cut him off saying, "never heard of an Asian called Brian" and slammed the phone down. No sooner had I done that, another call popped up from 02886 000411, same guy and ready to chat nonsense. I didn’t even bother and blocked the number straight away. Bet they'll keep ringing though. Makes me angry thinking about poor folks falling for this rubbish! These scamming muppets deserve a good kick in the backside!

Got a ring from 01709 865902, some bloke claiming his name was Brian, with an Asian accent, chatting about my TV at home. Before he could get a word in, I cut him off saying, “Never heard of an Asian called Brian,” and slammed down the phone. No sooner had I done that, another call came from 02886 000411 - same guy, ready to give me a mouthful. I ended the call again and blocked the number straight away. Bet they’ll be back, but honestly, I feel terrible for anyone who falls for these scammers. They really should be locked up!

I'm really fed up with getting calls from overseas numbers. Today, I got a ring from 02886000411, so I told them straight away to stop calling and to take me off their list. Then I hung up, but moments later they called back and started shouting "I won't!" I asked why, and the guy just kept repeating it with a heavy accent. Does anyone know how I can block a number from ringing my landline?

They’ve rung a few times before, once my mum answered and asked for Mr Nottingham. My dad got annoyed and hung up, then they phoned again almost immediately. This time I answered at my parents' place, they asked for Mr Nottingham again, and when I said he doesn’t live here, they just ended the call. These calls seem targeted at older folks, so be careful and don’t share any personal info.

I got a call from someone with an Indian accent trying to sell me TV insurance. I told him off, called him a scammer and hung up straight away.

Got a call from this number with a Chinese-sounding person trying to sell some really cheap TV insurance, claimed to know our postcode. I quickly figured it was a scam and told them I wasn't interested. They wanted to talk to my husband, who's actually been dead for 18 years! Earlier, the same number rang and tried asking for bank details. Suspicious much!

Got a call from this number, some Chinese lady trying to sell super cheap TV insurance, claimed she knew my postcode. Took one look and knew it was a scam, so told them I wasn’t interested. They asked for my husband, but he passed away like 18 years ago. Earlier, they’d already called asking for bank details, total dodgy stuff.

My mum's been getting endless calls about her TV, and they even tried asking for the last four digits of her credit card. Luckily, she didn’t share anything but they kept ringing her back five times in one day! Today, I was with her when they called again, so I grabbed the phone and told this woman, who claimed to be Catherine from India, to never phone us again. Of course, she ignored that and just a couple of hours later she rang once more. This is really stressful and worrying, especially for older people. Does anyone know how to make it stop?

My mum has been getting constant calls about her TV, and they kept asking for the final four digits of her credit card. Luckily, she never shared any details. They actually phoned her five times all in one day! Today, I was with her when they called, so I grabbed the phone and told the woman not to bother calling anymore. She said her name was Catherine, apparently from India - yeah, right! But sadly, she didn’t take the hint and rang my mum again just a few hours later. This is really distressing and quite worrying for older folks. Does anyone know how to make it stop?

Honestly, this feels like a total rip-off. Make sure you jot down as much info as possible and report it to your local trading standards so they can look into it. If you’ve shared your bank info, definitely get in touch with Action Fraud for help.

My mum got a call today from this same number about some supposed 'TV insurance overcharge' where they claimed she was charged £7 instead of £5. They even had bits of her card number and some address info, which made it sound a bit legit, but luckily she didn't give them any more. The person on the phone was pretty good at trying to persuade her for more details. After she hung up, they called back quickly, saying the manager needed the card info urgently to sort the problem out. Total scam! I'm so glad my mum, who's 85, saw through it and didn’t fall for their tricks.

This company has been blowing up my phone non-stop, always talking about a TV supposedly on my mum’s account - which she definitely hasn’t got. I pretended to be her this time, but even as I tried to say no, they just kept cutting me off. I ended up shouting at them to quit calling, then hung up. After that, the bloke called back and started calling me horrible names. I never swore at him once, and honestly, he deserves to be reported for that kind of behaviour.

I got a call from 02883562023 trying to convince me they could lower my TV insurance fees. I put my CPR blocker on straight away and ended the call.

Just got a call not long ago, and I told this bloke straight up, “Don’t bother me about my TV.” Then I hung up on him. Next thing, he calls again and tells me to “get lost” in a proper rude way. Seriously, what’s the best way to block these scammers for good?

They’ve been ringing non-stop, 3 times today and a couple of times yesterday. Luckily my mum can’t hear very well right now. When they asked for me, they wanted to check the first 4 digits of my mum’s card but I refused to give it. I even told them the numbers they had were wrong. They didn’t like that I had caught on since my mum got scammed once before and I’m not having that happen again. Then the guy said if I want to keep paying £7 each month I could just do that. Not falling for it!

Got a call from a dodgy number, sounds like one of those spoofed ones, with someone on the other end speaking in an Indian accent trying to sell me some kind of TV insurance. Problem is, I don't even have TV insurance! Then the call just dropped out. They rang me again shortly after from 01564777203, which looked fake as well. Really freaky how much they already knew - my name, where I live and my landline number. Pretty unsettling stuff.

My elderly neighbour keeps getting calls non stop from this number. It's really stressing her out since she has heart issues. Whenever they ask for more info, like her bank details, she wisely refuses. Honestly, this kind of scam needs to be shut down.

Today I got a call that seemed really legit since I already have tv cover and the person sounded like they were from the company I deal with. But when she started asking about the tv brand and my bank info, something felt off so I just hung up. Then the phone kept ringing back-to-back a few times after that. So relieved I looked the number up first!

Just like what others mentioned, I got a really pushy lady on the phone saying she could help lower the warranty cost on my dad's TV from £7 down to £5, trying to save him money. My dad, who's 86 and has vascular dementia, told her the long debit card number but refused to share the 3-digit security code no matter how much she pressed. Luckily, he somehow got suspicious and made the right call to cancel his bank card right away. It's a pity that no one seems to be taking these scammers seriously and putting a stop to their tricks.

Really clever insurance scam on the telly. The woman on the phone was super persistent, trying to get my mum to share her bank info by saying she could lower the monthly fee from £7 down to £5. They have this well practised spiel they stick to and repeat over and over. They seem to know enough personal stuff to sound legit. My mum almost fell for it, but luckily I walked in just in time. Even after I stepped in, the lady wasn’t willing to back off about getting the bank details. She even mentioned “legal stuff” to try and pressure us, but don’t fall for it - never give out your banking info. We told the bank straight away and had the card blocked.

I got a call from a super smooth woman pitching some kind of TV insurance deal. She was really pushy and kept asking for my mum’s bank info, claiming she could lower the monthly fee from £7 down to £5. They clearly have a polished script they stick to and go over again. Plus, they knew enough personal stuff to sound convincing. My mum was nearly tricked but I turned up mid-call. Even then, she wasn’t willing to back off or stop asking for bank details. She threw around “legal” jargon to try and scare us, but don’t fall for it! We told our bank straight away and cancelled the card.

My elderly mum, who has dementia, got calls from these people about some TV insurance deal. There’s been at least two times when someone else managed to answer instead. The person on the other end was quite aggressive and not polite at all. When I tried to ring the number back straight away, it just came up with a message saying the number isn’t real.

I've just had the same number ring me twice in the space of five minutes. An individual with a noticeable Indian accent insisted he was calling about a Panasonic television. I informed him that I don't own such a device and that I'm registered with the Telephone Preference Service, hence I didn’t wish to receive these calls. After I ended the conversation, they rang me back within two minutes, claiming we must have been disconnected. I reiterated that I had hung up deliberately due to my TPS registration. The caller just chuckled, stating, "But we were discussing the Panasonic TV you don't have!" I then ended the call once more and decided to use 1471 to trace the number. It appears this caller has been a nuisance to several others, as I've discovered.

Got a call from this number to my wife's elderly aunt who can't get out much. They were asking for her bank info, saying it was to lower some TV service charge. Luckily, my wife was over visiting and grabbed the phone from her. The caller then told my wife to "go fetch her bank card," but she just put the phone down. Absolute scumbags these folks are!

I got a call from someone claiming to be from Homeserve, saying they wanted to lower my TV maintenance plan from £7 to £5 - which is strange because I don’t even have one. They asked for my bank details, but I told them if they already had my direct debit, they'd know it already. I decided to hang up. Just before I did, the woman, who said her name was Kathryn and gave an extension like K220, said it was fine to keep the £7 charge. I later called back using 1471, but when I dialled the number, a voicemail said it no longer exists. Quite fishy!

Got a call from a woman with an Asian accent, she knew my name and started talking about me being eligible for a £7 a month discount on some TV maintenance fee I've never even signed up for. She was pretty persistent and wouldn’t back down until I asked where she got my info from. At that point, she said she'd delete my details from their records. I’m not convinced though. Seems like just another scam to me. Seriously, why don't the authorities crack down on these callers?

Got three calls from 02886000411 - first one was nearly a year ago, then two more last week. The first caller was a woman who then handed me over to a bloke claiming to be her manager. They said they were ringing from Virgin and offered to lower my TV bill from £7 down to £5, but wanted my bank info to sort it out. I kept telling them I never give out that kind of info and told them to buzz off. They clearly knew my full name, address, and that my phone contract was with Virgin. Seems like a proper scam, very smooth talkers. Stay cautious!

Number came up as being from Northern Ireland, UK. Really sneaky and quite risky calls. They said they’d cut my TV service fee from £7 down to £5 each month. I doubt many folks even know about this deal. Got pretty annoyed when I said I was hanging up, but then they kept ringing back. Didn’t pick up after a while though. Finally they tried saying I owed £168... no way, not falling for that SAM scam.

Today I got a call from a bloke named Sam, who said he could lower the cost of my TV maintenance from £7 down to £5 per month. I pointed out that with Virgin Media, it’s actually free already. He insisted he was from Virgin Media too and that the maintenance fee was rolled into the monthly bill. I asked him how much my monthly bill was, but he couldn’t tell me. Then he wanted to know what brand my TV was and how big the screen was, which made me quite wary. Next thing, he asked for my debit card details, but I told him I never share that info over the phone. He argued that we hand over those numbers all the time in shops, but I wasn’t having any of it and ended the call.

Frankly, I was a bit bored and if they want to muck about wasting my time, I’m more than happy to return the favour while sipping my morning tea. Their latest trick appears to be offering a service that supposedly blocks nuisance calls - quite funny really, considering they’re the nuisance callers themselves. They chat all this tech jargon, mention the ICO and whatnot, but honestly, it doesn’t feel like a genuine product at all.

Today, I got a call asking for my full debit card number. Pretty suspicious if you ask me.

Got two calls today from someone saying they could help block annoying calls! Honestly, they’re the real pest - I hardly get calls from anyone except close family who all ring my mobile. This landline is mostly for an old relative of mine, just in case of an emergency, and their number’s saved on speed dial.

This number has been ringing me like mad over the past few days. It seems like they’re trying to dodge the ‘talk talk no calls’ list. When I finally answered, they claimed they weren’t selling anything - just looking to deposit some money into their bank. Bit fishy if you ask me.

Today I got a call from some lot saying I could get a discount on my TV insurance. They wanted my debit card info and which bank I use to get it. Oddly, they already had my phone number, address, and even knew I bank with LLOYDS. After I ended the call, they rang right back. I told them I don’t even have a debit card and didn’t share anything. Then I contacted the insurance firm I actually pay and the bank to report this. Turns out it was a complete scam, as my insurance company never made that call. Really shady behaviour they’re pulling on people.

Got a call from someone saying they were from BT about blocking nuisance calls. First a lady spoke to me, then she handed me over to her manager. They kept asking for my bank info, which made me uneasy. They called me three times. What scared me the most was that they seemed to know which account we use to pay our BT bill. Definitely watch out for this one!

Got a call from 02886000411 like five times today. I picked up the first call but hung up when they started asking for my bank info. Honestly, they're just a pain and might be trying to scam.

This number called my elderly mum offering to lower her tv bills, but the bloke on the other end was really rude which upset her loads. She ended the call and then, can you believe it, he phoned her back just to ask why she’d hung up!

So this company called “TV Guard” rang me again. First, they promised cheaper insurance, then they started asking for my info. I ended the call, but they phoned me back. Honestly, I wasn’t as nice the second time around.

I got a call about some supposed insurance discount on my TV payments. They asked for my bank info but I wasn’t having any of it. When I said no, the person got pretty angry. I ended the call, but they kept ringing back a few times. Any ideas on who I should report this to?

Got a call from someone called Matt, said he was from TV Guard or something, offering to lower my insurance payments. Sounded dodgy to me.

I received a rather convincing phone call from someone claiming to be from BT. They informed me that for just £6.99, they could put an end to all unwanted overseas and nuisance calls. The chap even provided me with an extension number to call, in case the pesky calls kept coming after a month. They were quite keen to find out the name on my bank account, but miraculously, didn’t ask for any bank details, which I thought was rather suspicious. They sounded credible at first, but I decided to hang up. To my surprise, the caller rang me again shortly after!

They've rung me up thrice now, trying to get my bank or credit card info. Kept pestering about lowering my TV insurance costs. Really frustrating. I had to keep saying no way am I giving out my details over the phone. Who even are you? Ended up hanging up every single time. Feels quite risky if you ask me.

Got a call from Carol and her boss Bob, so I just kept the chat going to mess about with their time a bit.

Got a call from someone saying they were with "TV Guard," telling me my TV warranty was dropping from £7 to £5 a month. Then they asked for my bank card info to verify it. Total muppets, and honestly quite risky - if they weren’t making money out of it, they wouldn’t bother hassling people like this.

I recently had a rather unsettling experience where an individual attempted to obtain my banking information by claiming that they needed to adjust one of my direct debits. They assured me that my details would be deleted within a day. However, I decided to terminate the call, only for them to ring me back three additional times! Please exercise caution with this type of scenario.

Got a call from some bloke about my telly. I just hung up because I'm fed up with these annoying calls. Then he called back, accusing me of being rude! I dropped the phone again. When the phone rang once more, I didn’t pick up. Later, I checked 1471 and it was the same number. Honestly, it’s a bit scary how they keep ringing non-stop like that.

These two numbers, 01452545605 and 02886000411, have been ringing non-stop. I've reported them to the TPS on 0345 0700707, plus I've flagged the issue with Citizens Advice for consumers on 03454 040506. I even alerted the relevant authorities via email at [email protected]. The company behind these calls claims to be "TV Guard" and is trying to scam people out of their bank details. The first number appears to be based in Gloucester, while the second is from Ireland, but it's the same woman calling from both places.

Got a call about some tv insurance, but it felt dodgy since they wanted my bank info right away. Definitely sounded like a scam to me.

I'm so fed up with these scams where they ring you up saying they’ll lower your TV insurance and then ask for your bank info. It’s just ridiculous how people fall for this stuff.
