2 yearsLooks like it’s one of those annoying TV licence spam calls again.2 yearsGot a call from a business number, maybe something like Harrison? Not too sure, but gonna block it just in case. This is the first time ringing so far.Harrison3 yearsSome folks are saying this is a scam, but that’s not true. When you search for tv licensing numbers on google, this one comes up right at the top of the official tv licence site. It’s definitely legit.Google4 yearsBeen getting calls from someone pretending to be about my TV licence. Total scam, don't fall for it!4 yearsJust got a call pretending to be from the TV licence people, but it was definitely a scam. Watch out, they’re trying to trick folks into giving info!4 yearsTrying to sort out my payment for the television licence, mate.5 yearsjust got a couple of texts saying i missed my tv licence payment, which is total rubbish cos i pay mine through direct debit. thought it was dodgy so sent the number over to the scam report service on 7225.5 yearsI've gotten a couple of texts from this number saying they are from TV licensing and I supposedly owe £74.00. Pretty sure it's a scam, so watch out!5 yearsJust got a message from 0300 555 0293 asking if I’d missed a TV licence payment and saying I needed to pay £1.50. I knew straight away it was dodgy since I’d already paid that exact amount last week.5 yearsGot a call from 0300 555 0293 saying it was the TV licence people, trying to get me to pay 16 quid over the phone. Nah, I always sort mine out online, don’t trust phone payments like that. I’m in Ballymoney, Northern Ireland by the way.BallymoneyNorthern Ireland6 yearsalmost every month i get a message saying i missed a payment. but i pay everything by direct debit so i know its a total scam. watch out for this!6 yearsGot a call saying I was behind on my TV licence by £6.50. They wanted me to sort it out at tvlicensing.co.uk/cash or use their automated line on 0300 555 0293. Total nonsense if you ask me.6 yearsI just got a text saying I apparently owe £335 for my TV licence and I need to pay it online or with my card. Seems dodgy to me.7 yearsI've been inundated with messages demanding payment for a television licence fee. Our household is all squared away with a licence in my wife's name. It’s crystal clear to me that this is merely a scam aimed at vulnerable seniors, especially considering it started coming through right after I hit the big 7-0. The authorities really ought to step up and address this issue, as there are plenty of elderly folks out there who might be intimidated into handing over their hard-earned cash for this nonsense. It's simply not sufficient to suggest folks just ignore or delete the messages. I believe we need proper legislation to tackle this immediately.9 yearsI've received three messages from this number, all concerning an alleged unpaid TV licence, which is not true. The texts urge me to pay different amounts via tvlicensing.co.uk/cash, at Nisa's PayPoint on Good Shepherd Road, or to ring 03005550293. Clearly, this is a phishing attempt since I pay my TV licence by direct debit, and they definitely shouldn't have my mobile number.NisaGood Shepherd Road10 yearsI must say, this has been rather bothersome for me.10 yearsI've been getting this message as well. It's become rather bothersome, as I’ve already received five of them! The constant notifications are really quite annoying.10 yearsIt’s quite clearly a scam! We haven't had a TV licence for the past five years, yet I've received two texts from them claiming £5.00 is outstanding. What a bunch of fools!10 yearsI was initially convinced this was a dodgy operation. Could someone please look into this matter?10 yearsAbsolutely the same experience! I've received a couple of messages already, and since I'm right on top of my bills, it's evident this lot is up to no good, especially as the sum they're mentioning doesn't align with our usual direct debit. Quite clearly a scam, if you ask me!10 yearsI've just received a call from this number too. We're avoiding picking up as we don't want to risk any extra charges.10 yearsWe've received that message as well. There are five of us, and it's starting to become quite infuriating.11 yearsReceived a text message earlier today from this number claiming to be a TV licensing company, urging us to give them a call.11 yearsI've received several messages from this number claiming that I owe £28.20. As an elderly pensioner over 80, I haven't had to pay my licence fee for quite some time now. I'm completely baffled as to how they managed to get my mobile number.11 yearsOver the past year, I've received around four texts purporting to be from "TV Licensing." Quite amusing, given that my phone is solely for emergencies and our TV Licence is actually registered under my husband's name, and paid via direct debit. It's rather annoying, to say the least.11 yearsI received a rather similar message earlier today from “TVLicensing.” It claimed that my TV licence payment was past due. It instructed me to pay £2.50 by either calling 03005550293 or heading over to a local PayPoint location. Apparently, I could pop into Grampain Supermarket at the Grampain Shopping Centre. What a bunch of absolute plonkers!Grampain SupermarketGrampain Shopping Centre12 yearsEarlier today, we received a rather dodgy text purporting to be from TV Licensing, asking for a sum of £5.60 to settle an outstanding balance on our account. Quite frankly, we were taken aback since we always pay via direct debit. Once we got home, we investigated it further and realised it was a scam. DO NOT hand over any money or even consider ringing them if you receive a message like this; it could lead to you parting with a significant amount of cash once they get hold of your debit or credit card information. Stay vigilant!TV Licensing12 yearsI find myself in the same boat! I've received a couple of messages from the same number, yet I haven’t taken any action aside from trying to unravel the mystery behind it. Just a bit of a puzzle, really! 😊12 yearsAbsolutely shifty con artists, without a doubt!12 yearsEarlier today, I received a message from this number saying that the TV licensing folks were after us to give them a ring.13 yearsI'm in the same boat. Earlier today, I received a text message stating that a payment of £216 was overdue. However, I can confirm that this payment is definitely not late. This is completely dodgy... what a waste of time these individuals are. Best wishes.Submit Your Own Report (0300 555 0293)
