02920008716 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 02920008716 👆 is reported as a scam operation targeting vulnerable people with false promises to block nuisance calls for a monthly fee. Callers often impersonate a ‘data compliance’ or similar service, pressuring recipients for bank details and personal info, sometimes becoming aggressive or abusive. They may use different numbers than the one they claim to represent, leading to confusion. Multiple accounts warn of pressure tactics, misleading promises of lifetime protections, and intimidation. Elderly individuals are especially at risk, with reports of distress and financial danger following these calls. Overall, the activity is consistent with many attempts to defraud by exploiting concerns about nuisance calls, and the company or service named does not appear legitimate or verifiable.

5 monthsSo, I got a call from someone saying he was Brian from Data Compliance. Asked for bank info and after that, quite a bit of cash disappeared from my parents’ account. The number he called from isn’t working anymore, but I jotted down some notes and thought I should share what happened.BrianData Compliance5 yearsThey actually expect me to pay £3 every month just to stop scam calls? What a joke!5 yearsGot calls from firms supposed to stop nuisance calls, but they wanted my bank info before doing anything. Seems dodgy to me, might be a scam trying to charge you for blocking unwanted calls. Watch out!5 yearsFor just £3 a month, they offered a service that stops all those pesky calls about ‘data compliance’ stuff. Pretty handy if you’re tired of getting these annoying calls all the time.Data Compliance5 yearsSome bloke called himself "Leo" and said he could block all those annoying calls for about £3 a month, for five years, then it’d be free after that. Then he passed me over to a manager called "Alice", who asked me to verify the bank account I use. I told her I'd have to double check first, and she just hung up on me. They gave this number, 02920008716, saying it was theirs, but the call actually came from a different one.LeoAlice5 yearsLooks like a proper scam, probably fishing for my bank info.5 yearsMy dad got a call from these lot and they were super pushy, kept telling him to grab his cheque book. He kept saying he didn’t have one, but somehow they freaked him out enough to give over his bank info. Then he got a letter in the post about a direct debit coming out of his account. I’m heading to the bank first thing tomorrow to sort it out. We’ve blocked their numbers now. Watch out, folks!5 yearsTOTAL SCAM! They are just trying to trick poor old folks out of their money. Thankfully my granny told me about it after she was up for days, barely eating or sleeping, stressing over the fact she’d handed over her bank info on a call - and then got scammed! So glad she spoke up in time.5 yearsEarly this morning around 8:30, I got a call from a lady named Lauren who said she was ringing from a call centre. She told me that lots of people in our area had been getting annoying and unwanted calls. When I asked if she was affected too, she said she worked for a firm called DDC (D Delta Complaints) and they were offering a new, safer service to block these scam calls. I asked for a contact number and she gave me 0292 000 8716, but when I checked with 1471, the actual number was 0208 312 0993. I told her I wasn’t interested and hung up straight away.LaurenDDCD Delta Complaints5 yearsGot a call from a lady claiming she could get rid of my spam calls for a fiver a month over five years, then after that it’d be free forever. She even rattled off my address and said she just needed to check which bank I use. I told her I wasn’t sharing any personal info and honestly, I don’t mind the annoying calls. She just cut me off after that!5 yearsI reached out to try and block these pesky calls.6 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be from Data Compliance, saying they could help me block annoying calls and would post the forms right away. Asked them for their company info and phone number but couldn’t find any trace of them online. Looks like a total con to me.Data Compliance6 yearsSomebody rang me claiming to be from a data complaints service, saying they'd put my number on a list to stop annoying calls. They promised to send me paperwork to confirm everything once I’d agreed. They said they'd call me again in about an hour so I could decide properly. After checking the number they gave me, I’m definitely not picking up if they get in touch again.6 yearsWatch out, another dodgy call! This woman was asking for a Mrs Thomas but they always ask for any name anyway. She claimed there was some annual fee to pay for appliances. I just said I didn’t know anyone by that name. She said her firm was called Appliance Support Services, but that’s definitely a scam - no such business exists. Stay clear folks!ThomasAppliance Support Services6 yearsJust a trick I use to escape those annoying calls I don’t want!6 yearsToday, 10/6, there was a call for me but I wasn’t home. I looked up the number afterwards and I’m happy I did, cheers!6 yearsTotal con artists!6 yearsQuite ironic really, got a couple of calls from the same number, supposedly from Cornwall. Thought I’d block nuisance calls but still ended up getting these annoying calls twice!Cornwall6 yearsGot a call from someone claiming to be with the Data Compliance Unit, saying I needed to pay £50 as a one-off fee to stop any more nuisance calls. I told him what a lowlife con artist he was, especially trying it in times like these, and that he ought to be ashamed. After that, he just said alright and hung up.Data Compliance Unit6 yearsThey were asking an 81-year-old for cheque numbers and then started shouting. Absolutely ridiculous!7 yearsI got a call from some bloke saying my subscription for blocking annoying calls was about to expire and asked if I wanted to renew it. I told him it was already included in my phone bill, but he just said alright and hung up. He didn’t say which company he was from or anything like that.Submit Your Own Report (029 2000 8716)
