Phone number âī¸ 08000885562 đ is reported as a persistent and aggressive scam originating from callers posing as representatives of reputable organisations like BT, Microsoft, or the Telephone Preference Service. Callers, often with strong Indian accents and using fake names, attempt to obtain personal and card details under false pretences, claiming to offer nuisance call blocking or computer security services. Victims recount pressure to allow remote access to computers, demands for upfront payments or subscriptions, and use of threatening or manipulative tactics. Multiple callers have been linked to companies with dubious names, and fraud reports to Action Fraud and police are strongly advised. Users should avoid sharing financial information, block the number, and remain vigilant against unsolicited calls that pressure for money or personal data.

8 yearsJust got a call claiming to be from the Telephone Preference Service, asking me to verify my debit card to block spam calls! Can you believe the nerve? I wasn’t gonna fall for it so I just ended the call.Telephone Preference Service9 yearsI rang my dad to ask about blocking calls, but it turns out the card got cancelled before they could take any money out.9 yearsSomeone rang up pretending to be David Parker, had a really thick Indian accent and was trying to get my mum’s card info. Total scam attempt.David Parker9 yearsMy Nan got scammed out of £149.99 by someone who said we’d get priority calls. What a total rip-off!Nan9 yearsI got a call from a woman who said she needed to check my details so I could join the telephone preference service and block annoying overseas calls. When I asked her what number she was calling from, she told me it was this one. Then I asked her which part of the country she was in, and she just cut the call. I’ve since found out this number is linked to scams.9 yearsI got a call from this number 0017274 128 639, I think it might've been from India or somewhere nearby.India9 yearsLike others have said, I got a call from a man who claimed he was ringing from Ilford, Essex. When I kept questioning him, he eventually admitted he was actually in Calcutta, India. He insisted he was calling on behalf of BT, but the whole time he just wanted my card info, even though he already knew I pay my bills by Direct Debit. It all felt pretty dodgy to me.IlfordEssexCalcuttaIndiaBTDirect Debit9 yearsGot a call from someone with an Indian accent saying they were from 'Telephone Business Service'. Strange thing is, they already knew my name and address, then started asking for the expiry date on my Visa debit card - I didn’t give them any details. I told them I’d have to confirm if they really worked for BT and asked for a number to call back on. After that, I checked my BT call settings and switched on BT Protect to block unknown numbers. Feels like there might be a data breach with BT info in India or something.Telephone Business ServiceBTIndia9 yearsEarly today, got a call from someone claiming they’re with BT, trying to sell me some service to stop all those annoying calls, yeah right!BT9 yearsThey really push hard for your cash, watch out! You should definitely let Action Fraud know about it. Honestly, don’t believe a word they say.Action Fraud9 yearsI've gone ahead and reported it to action fraud.Action Fraud9 yearsGot a bloke yelling at me on the phone, saying it’s some kind of scam. Honestly, you should definitely report it to Action Fraud!Action Fraud9 yearsDont ever let anyone talk you into going on your computer, its a total scam. I got a call from a guy with an Indian accent who was really forceful. Definitely told Action Fraud about it.IndiaAction Fraud9 yearsThis must be a scam, better notify the police.9 yearsThey persistently rang me, attempting to scam £89 for a so-called call-blocking device to halt their incessant calls. I ended up hanging up on them three times, only for my phone to ring once more shortly after. These are nothing but utter fraudsters who ought to be prosecuted!9 yearsHey, I got a call from some bloke named John for the third time now. He kept telling me to turn on my computer so he could help fix it or something. When I asked for a number so I could ring him back, he finally gave me this one. He was really aggressive and rude, which made me quite uneasy. Does anyone know how to block these calls and stop them from bothering us? Cheers, Jane.JohnJane9 yearsThere was this bloke called James Andrew, he spoke with an Asian accent and was really pushy. Honestly, it’s the sort of thing that could easily fool folks. Proper annoying and, to be honest, feels like a bit of a scam. Just not on at all.James Andrew10 yearsSo, I got a call from some bloke named Johnstone, which is a bit funny since that’s actually the name of my phone exchange. He was really pushy, going on about how I needed to switch on my computer. Told him it’s been off for like six months, but he kept insisting I power it up. I asked for him to give me a number so I could call him back, but he wasn’t having it. He said I had to have the computer switched on and that he’d ring me again in an hour. Yeah, nah mate, not happening.Johnstone10 yearsI gave a ring to this firm called Global Consumers, looks like they're out of Essex.Essex10 yearsI got a call warning that my computer would crash soon if i didn't pick up. They said there was some issue and offered to fix it, but i told them i couldn't afford to pay until the end of the month. When that time came around, i decided to check the number and found out it was a scam. I never made any payment. They wouldnt send me an invoice beforehand, only a receipt after payment, which made me suspicious. I'm wondering now if there's anything they can do to make me pay. Should i be worried about this?10 yearsSo this guy, going by Alex Roberts, rang me up claiming there was a problem with my PC involving mallard (??). He sounded pretty believable and somehow got me to let him control my computer remotely. Luckily, when he started asking for cash to fix it, I cut off my internet straight away. He told me his phone number was 0800 088 5562, gave me an ID of 10015 and mentioned a security code 1987. Total scam in my opinion!Alex Roberts10 yearsSome bloke named Edward Miller just rang me, proper annoying guy.Edward Miller10 yearsThey’re really messing with something pretty risky here.10 yearsI got a call from this number saying my Firewall had issues, and some bloke called Michael Lewis wants me to ring him back. Really hope he’s running out of patience by now!FirewallMichael Lewis10 yearsWatch out for calls from 0800 088 5526 and 0800 088 5562 - they’re classic scams trying to hack into your laptop. Some bloke calling himself Alex Roberts with an ID number 10015 rang my phone. I kept him hanging while I waited for my missus, and asked for his details first, which he actually gave me just like that. I never ended up opening my laptop though, had a bad feeling about it, especially with him sounding poorly. He got really nervous when I called him back, telling him I wasn’t fooled. Hopefully he's still waiting on the line somewhere. Honestly, what a sad excuse for a scammer. Never let anyone get remote access to your device, seriously.Alex Roberts10 yearsSome bloke named John Wilson rang up, his accent was proper foreign. He wanted to speak to the lady living here but then went on to quiz me about where the family were. Claimed he was from the telephone preference scheme and promised if I chatted, the nuisance calls would stop. Thing is, he’d already called me like six times before and I tried to shake him off, which is pretty shocking. In the end, I told him my dad would get back to him if he gave me his details. He was hesitant but eventually shared his name and number. This is what came of it. Really intrusive and a bit worrying, honestly.John Wilson10 yearsToday, 2nd Nov 2016, I got a ring from this number. They claimed they were checking up on nuisance calls or something like that. It was quite funny but then things got serious when they started asking for my card info. They actually knew loads about me, which freaked me out a bit. Be careful with these ones!10 yearsI got calls from Ajsoftnapps quite a few times, and unfortunately I ended up buying their antivirus. After that, they rang me twice more - first about an hour later, then again after a couple of hours - trying to explain why the software wasn’t working properly. They said they'd give me a refund, but refused to send the money back to my credit card. Instead, they insisted I use Western Union to get it. Luckily, I spotted them trying to sneak another charge of £393 on my card because the screen kept flickering. My bank thankfully blocked that payment. Now I’m just waiting to see if they try anything else like blackmail or identity theft. Has anyone else been caught up in something like this? Curious to know how far this scammer’s gone with people.WesternUnion10 yearsSome bloke named Paul Austin rang me up, claiming to sell some dodgy software. He said his firm was called A J Softnapps, gave me a number, but I reckon it’s a total scam. These fraudsters try to get into your PC and then threaten you for money. A mate of mine got done for nearly £400 by what sounds like the exact same con a couple of months ago. Can’t believe he fell for it!Paul AustinA J Softnapps10 yearsGot a ring from this number, some bloke called David telling me my computer had issues. Didn’t feel right, so I didn’t trust it.David11 yearsWhat a massive scam this is!11 yearsScam, scam, scam!11 yearsAbsolute rip-off!Submit Your Own Report (0800 088 5562)
