Reports on phone number 02886522560
8 yearsThey're continuing with this nonsense. Someone really needs to track these people down and put a stop to it.8 yearsGot a call from some bloke in India who asked if I owned the phone number. Told him no, added that I was the slave of the number instead. He sounded a bit puzzled and just hung up. Yeah, I made it up a bit, but it’s not like their stories are always straight, right?8 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be Telephone Guardian, said they could block unwanted calls for me. They mentioned my card was expiring in 2018 and questioned how I pay my phone bill, said it was by direct debit. I asked if he was with BT, he said yes but had a really thick accent that was difficult to understand. Then he just hung up on me. Suspicious if you ask me.Telephone GuardianBT8 yearsI got a call from 02886 522560 and the guy said he was from the telephone preference service. He already knew my full name and address, then asked me to confirm my bank details to “upgrade” my account. That sounded dodgy so I just ended the call straight away.Telephone Preference Service8 yearsGot a call from 02886 522560, the bloke said he was from the telephone preference service and wanted to "upgrade" my account. He already had my full name and address, then asked for my bank details. Something felt off so I just ended the call. When I rang the number back, it said the line’s no longer active. Definitely dodgy.Telephone Preference Service8 yearsThis number rang me claiming to be from the Telephone Preference Service team and mentioned a few bits of info about me. I just replied with a cautious “Alright” a couple of times, but after about four exchanges, I got a bit iffy about them. I ended the call after a quick “Yeah, sure” and blocked the number straight away. Watch out for these ones!Telephone Preference Service8 yearsI had a call from someone claiming to be from the Telephone Preference Service and they asked for my debit card info. When I started asking questions, they just ended the call. Be careful, these definitely sound like scammers!Telephone Preference Service8 yearsThe number didn’t show up on BT Call Guardian, so I’m guessing it’s either some scammer or a call centre. I’ve gone ahead and blocked it now.8 yearsI picked up the phone but there was dead silence, then this robotic voice just said goodbye? I’m wondering what they actually gain from pulling this kind of thing?8 yearsThis number rang me before and I already shared my thoughts here back then. Honestly, my view hasn’t changed a bit (I left a comment on 13/07/18, if you wanna check). It’s about time someone took real action against those scam artists - probably struggling on terrible pay themselves, but still causing all this trouble.8 yearsSomebody called claiming they were from TPS, said they needed to update our info and asked when our credit card expires. Told them we weren’t sure and they just hung up straight away.TPS8 yearsLoads of quiet calls lately, just this robotic "goodbye" when I answer. Can't make sense of it at all.8 yearsI phoned BT to check and they told me this number is definitely a scam. Avoid it!BT8 yearsSo frustrating, they say nothing and then all of a sudden you get an automated bye message.8 yearsI just got quiet on the other end, no one spoke, then suddenly an automated voice came on saying goodbye - kinda like someone else mentioned in their comment here.8 yearsIf it keeps ringing and then an automated voice says goodbye, then I reckon it’s probably some scammers trying their luck. Happens to me quite a bit.8 yearsI got a call and they told me the same story about my computer needing fixing, said it would cost £230 for some kind of update. Then they tried saying the exact same thing to my mum when they rang her!8 yearsI got a call regarding some supposed computer bill. Since then, I’ve been really careful and now almost never answer or call back if I don’t recognise the number. The problem is, if you do ring back, your phone provider might charge you a crazy high fee. You’d think the phone companies would crack down on these scammers quicker, but it feels like they’re actually cashing in when people call back expensive premium numbers. It’s a bit frustrating really.8 yearsGot a call about some computer support payment I allegedly owe - total scam, trying to freak me out! Absolute scammers!8 yearsHave no clue who that might be, but I'm pretty sure that number isn’t right (Cookstown, Northern Ireland). Sounds like a robocall from some dodgy scammer using that line to get through. If you get one of those calls that just ring and cut off before you can pick up, best to ignore it, especially when it’s from a place you don’t know. Don’t waste your time answering those silent calls!CookstownNorthern Ireland8 yearsThey never said a word, so I just ended the call and blocked the number straight away.8 yearsEvery afternoon this number rings me up. When I answer, I just stay quiet. There's nothing but silence from their end, then they hang up after about half a minute. It's really annoying, honestly.8 yearsI've had three calls from this number.8 yearsgot a call two times in half an hour and when I picked up all I got was "goodbye". no idea who it was. my number’s x directory and I’m really pissed off about how they managed to get it.8 yearsGot a call from a scam. After I blocked the number, all I could hear was them saying goodbye.8 yearsNo words said, just a robotic goodbye, and it keeps buzzing my phone every five minutes.Submit Your Own Report (028 8652 2560)
