078954878 Summary (Read all comments)
Phone number ☎️ 078954878 👆 is reported as a persistent scam number often impersonating Nationwide Building Society or similar institutions. Callers, typically with an Asian accent, aggressively demand personal details such as names and postcodes, sometimes knowing outdated or partial information. If questioned, they frequently become abusive or abruptly hang up. The number is suspicious due to its unusual length, often missing digits from a standard UK mobile number, and calls frequently involve silent hang-ups or threats. Victims advise blocking the number immediately and not responding, as it is associated with identity or bank detail fraud attempts. Authorities and phone providers appear slow or reluctant to act against these nuisance calls. Users should remain cautious, never confirm personal data, and warn friends and family to avoid contact.
Reports on phone number 078954878
9 years07897933012, 07897935062 kept ringing me up claiming to be from NATIONWIDE BUILDING SOCIETY. The woman on the line asked me to confirm my postcode but I told her I was in a meeting and asked for a callback number. She just ended the call! I got a few calls like this saying it was Nationwide. When I contacted Nationwide themselves, they said they had no idea about any of this. TOTAL SCAM! SCAM! SCAM! Please don't share any personal info with these people.Nationwide9 yearsI've had quite a few calls from this annoying bloke, sounds like he's Indian. He always asks for my name and when I ask who he is, he claims he's from Nationwide. A few days ago, when he told me that, I said straight up 'No you're not', and he just shouted 'Watch your mouth' and hung up. Before that, he told me he was from the government, or that he was my dad, or even my mum. What a nasty person. I've reported him to BT, my mobile provider and the cops, but they couldn't care less. Seems these companies make bank from scammers like him, so they have no interest in sorting it out.IndiaNationwideBritish Telecom9 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy trying to convince me to switch my life insurance over to him. He knew my postcode but claimed he was sending info to my place, I told him he had the wrong address. He kept pausing like someone was feeding him lines, felt proper dodgy.9 years078954878 missing digits so I just ended the call and blocked straight away.9 yearsGot a call from this number saying they were from Nationwide bank, but they just hung up on me. Blocked it straight away, pretty sure it's a scam.Nationwide Bank9 yearsGot a call earlier today from an Asian guy saying he was from Nationwide, wanted me to verify my name and postcode. Told him I was tied up and ended the call. Definite scam, have blocked the number now.Nationwide9 yearsI keep receiving calls from this number, along with a few others, all inquiring about a certain Nicky Smith-definitely not me! I've had my number for almost 16 years now, and I find it quite frustrating. They assure me they'll update their records, yet the calls just keep on coming. It's a bit mad, really!Nicky Smith9 yearsGot a call from a guy with an Asian accent who said he was from Nationwide. He knew my name and asked if I was happy with my account. When I said I didn’t want to talk to him, he snapped back with "what the hell is wrong with you?" Seriously? Wish my local branch would never speak to me like that!Nationwide9 yearsLast week I received an email saying I might have been hacked, and it had my full name plus an old address on there. Then I got a call today which seems connected. It’s really worrying that a company we’ve trusted with such private info has either leaked it or had rubbish security. I’m so relieved I didn’t go ahead and update my details for that company!9 yearsThey rang me two times but just cut off right away. Totally sounds like a scam.9 yearsThey rang me and then just dropped the call - seemed dodgy right away since their number had way too few digits.9 yearsThis number keeps ringing my mum daily, plus there's another 0161 one doing the same. I've warned her not to pick up, but if she does, there's silence for a bit before they just end the call. Her phone's pretty old, so she can't block them, but it has to be some kinda scam.9 yearsGot a call from a man with an Asian accent who somehow knew my full name. He said he was doing a survey about Samsung and iPhones, asking which one I used and my age. Then he just hung up, so I blocked the number straight away.SamsungiPhone9 yearsGot a call from this number earlier today, only 9 digits long, so pretty obvious it’s a scam. I put it straight on block but it rang me two more times after that. After seeing other people’s comments, it looks like it could be well dodgy if you pick up. Best just to block and ignore!9 yearsThis number rang my mum’s phone earlier today, alongside a blocked caller and a dodgy 0161 one. The voice sounded like an Indian guy, but there were loads of others talking in the background, which made it hard for her to catch what he was saying. The call didn’t last long before they hung up. Judging by how many people have replied about this number just today, it seems like they’ve been pretty active.India9 yearsA chap with an Asian accent called me by name out of the blue. When I inquired who he was, he repeated my name. But when I pressed him further, he rudely told me to "buzz off" before ending the call. Charming, isn’t it? I wouldn’t rely on them at all-definitely dodgy characters!9 yearsGot a call from an Asian guy on my phone but couldn’t catch what he was saying, so I told him I couldn’t hear properly. Then the cheeky bloke goes “oh my god you’re dead” and just hangs up on me. If I’d said something like that to him, everyone would’ve accused me of being racist. Honestly, I’m fuming right now. 🤬9 yearsDefinitely a scam, the number was just 9 digits so i ignored it and decided to check online. Good thing i didnt pick up.9 yearsDoes anyone have an idea how they managed to get my phone number and postcode? Pretty sure I must have signed up for something sketchy or need to unsubscribe. Feels like one of those banking fraud scams.9 yearsGot a call from this number earlier, some lady said she was from Nationwide. She wanted me to confirm my name and postcode, then asked if I was happy using my card for banking. Silly me, I said yes to everything (even gave my old postcode by mistake) and then she just ended the call. Kinda feeling uneasy about it now ??.Nationwide9 yearsI just got a call from a guy with an Asian accent claiming he was calling from Nationwide Building Society, asking me to verify my postcode. I ended the call straight away. How come these phone numbers can’t be tracked down?Nationwide Building Society9 yearsrang me and then hung up straight away9 yearsHad pretty much the same thing happen. It was a brief ring from a short number, and when I picked up, there was no one speaking. I’ve since put it on my block list.9 yearsYesterday I got a call on my mobile from a bloke who sounded Indian, asking me to verify my name and postcode. I refused to give him any info and kept asking who he was and where he’d got my number from. He started getting really annoyed that I wouldn’t play along, then ended up shouting “f##k you” before hanging up. I get scam calls all the time and I’m always careful not to say anything that could help them. I really wonder how these scammers manage to get hold of our numbers in the first place.9 yearsPicked up not realising the number was missing a couple of digits, ended call straight away. Definitely a scam.9 yearsGot two calls from this number today, ignored both and let it ring out. The number's got only 9 digits instead of the usual 11 for an 07, so I reckon it's a scam or something dodgy.9 yearsI'm curious if this is some sort of scam aimed at obtaining my banking information. I haven't shared any details and, to be clear, I don’t even have an account with Nationwide!Nationwide9 yearsGot calls twice this week from a man claiming to be from 'Nationwide' asking me to verify my postcode. I said no both times and told him not to ring me anymore, but he just said he’d be calling again later and then ended the call!9 yearsA chap of Asian descent ended the call immediately.9 yearsA guy with an Asian accent asked if my son was home. I said he doesn't live here anymore and then he just hung up straight away.9 yearsGot a call from an Indian guy with a thick accent, asking to confirm a postcode from over 5 years ago, saying he was from Nationwide. I kept asking why he needed it, and after the third time, he just told me to "f##k my wife" and cut the call. Just dont pick up and block them!Nationwide9 yearsGot a call from a man with an Indian accent saying he was from Nationwide Building Society, asking me to verify my postcode. I wouldn’t give it to him and kept asking what he wanted, then he just ended the call.Nationwide Building Society9 yearsCalled me three times - I ignored it twice. A man with an Indian accent said he was from Nationwide. I've blocked the number now.Nationwide9 yearsPicked up thinking it was a mobile, voice had a heavy accent and they knew my name and postcode, said they were from Nationwide. I kept asking why they were ringing and after a bit they just told me to f#ck off. I blocked the number. If it’s a scam, it seems pretty rubbish unless you actually have an account with Nationwide.Nationwide9 yearsI dont usually pick up unknown numbers but this one seemed like a mobile, the guy on the line rattled off an old postcode and address I remembered from ages ago, like 9 years back. He was pushy about getting me to update it to my new place, claiming he was from some Data Protection dept. When I asked him some questions, he just called me a 'b#tch' and slammed the phone down! Well, good morning to you too, mate!!!9 yearsI've received two calls from this number today, but they just cut the line as soon as I answered.9 yearsGot a call looking for Ivy Ling - could hear laughing in the background. When I asked who they were, they started getting annoyed and rude.Ivy Ling9 yearsThey rang me a couple of times over the weekend. I didn’t pick up since it seemed like a dodgy mobile number.9 yearsGot a call today, sounded like one of those Indian call centres, said they were from Nationwide. They asked to confirm my postcode and rattled off the one from my old address. When I told them my new postcode, they just hung up. Feels dodgy to me, probably some sort of scam.IndiaNationwide9 yearsReceived a call earlier today, and it felt very much like I was chatting to someone from an Indian call centre. They claimed to be representing Nationwide, and their reason for ringing was to verify my postcode. However, they mentioned the postcode from my previous residence. When I provided my current postcode, the caller abruptly ended the conversation. Quite suspicious, if you ask me-definitely has the whiff of a scam.Nationwide9 yearsGot a missed call and answered it. Some Indian bloke knew my name and mentioned my account number. I asked who it was, he said some nonsense, and I told him I don’t use that bank. Then he said something rude in his language. Number was 07895478, sounds like a scam to me.9 yearsI had a rather odd encounter earlier with a bloke who sounded Asian. He seemed to know my name and promptly inquired whether my postcode remained unchanged. Claimed to be from Nationwide, he then asked if I was satisfied with my banking arrangements. Before I could formulate a proper response, he just cut the call! For anyone else reading this, I strongly advise against saying "yes" during these sorts of chats. I've come across reports of this scam where they're attempting to record you affirming things and then twisting it to suggest you've given your consent to whatever nonsense they come up with. My recommendation? If you get a call like that, don't hesitate-just hang up. Better safe than sorry!Nationwide9 yearsGot called 3 times today from this number. It rings about 3 times then just cuts off. After the 2nd time I noticed it looked like an incomplete mobile number. Tried to block it on my android, but my phone wouldn’t let me, saying “invalid number” or something. Don’t pick up! Proper annoying!9 yearsCaller was unknown, had Indian accent, but there was lots of noise in the background.9 yearsI've received a total of three calls from this number today. It rings three times and then promptly disconnects, which is incredibly irritating. Unfortunately, my Android phone won’t allow me to block it as it claims the number is invalid.9 yearsThis number has rung me up a couple of times, but I didn’t pick up since it’s an incomplete number and felt a bit dodgy.

I was rather curious, so I pressed him for details, but just when I thought we might have a conversation, he abruptly hung up on me. He had quite a strong Indian accent, very pronounced, if I do say so. When he asked me “who is that?” I shot back with “who do you think you are? You’re the one who called me!” At that point, he decided to end the call. What an absolute farce! Such a pointless use of my time!Pamela9 yearsA gentleman with an Indian accent called me to inquire whether I was satisfied with my banking services. Upon my confirmation, he promptly ended the call. Quite peculiar, I must say!9 yearsGot a call from an Indian guy who already knew my name, but still asked who was calling and said it was Nationwide.

Make sure you let your mates and family know too!9 yearsGot a call from some bloke who rudely insisted I hand over my info, got really nasty when I said I’m on the TPS.
