08007797788 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08007797788 👆 is reported as a company frequently accused of deceptive cold calling practices, often targeting elderly and vulnerable individuals in the UK. They offer a call-blocking service purported to reduce nuisance calls for an upfront fee or monthly payments, but numerous users have labelled this as a scam, citing unsolicited calls, misleading claims of government or BT affiliation, and unauthorized charges. Many complain about difficulty obtaining refunds or customer support, and some highlight that similar free services are available via the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). While a few users mention receiving devices and some reduction in calls, the prevailing experience reported involves financial loss, distress, and distrust. Prospective customers should exercise caution, verify legitimacy independently, and consider free official services before engaging.

My 89-year-old mother has fallen victim to this despicable scam. She unwittingly provided her card information, and they managed to siphon off £84.99 from her account. I’ve attempted to call the numbers listed on the website, but unsurprisingly, there's been no response. I plan to reach out to the bank posthaste to halt any further withdrawals. It’s utterly unacceptable that my mother, being a vulnerable adult, is exposed to such unscrupulous crooks. She deserves safeguarding from this kind of exploitation.

I came across some news stating that the dodgy outfit known as "Cold Call Elimination Ltd" has just been slapped with a hefty £75,000 fine due to their relentless cold calling antics. Things certainly aren't looking rosy for them at the moment, are they? To add to their woes, it seems they're encountering some issues with their 0800 number and are now pushing their contact number as 01243 885 885-so keep your wits about you!

My dear elderly mother fell victim to this outfit as well, forking out £90 on her credit card. Immediately after the transaction, she realised she’d erred in sharing her personal details over the phone. I ended up purchasing her a phone equipped with Call Guardian, and let me tell you, the volume of blocked calls since its setup speaks volumes - it’s evident that this Cold Call Elimination scheme is nothing but a ruse. Now, my poor Mum is constantly fretting that they might have her card information and could siphon off more funds, which she simply cannot spare.

Regrettably, I made the decision to subscribe to the Cold Call Elimination Team, shelling out £29.99 for a four-month stint. They assured me that I could reach out if I received any more pesky calls. Initially, I enjoyed a blissful two months of peace, but lo and behold, the same number began ringing through again. After contacting the team, they promised that I'd receive The Call Blocking Guardian within three to five working days. Fast forward four weeks, and I’ve endured three more calls, with absolutely no sign of this so-called guardian. Calling their number 08007797788 countless times, I’ve been met with the same female voice telling me the 'number isn't registered, please try again later.' To top it all off, I received yet another unwelcome call from an entirely different number today... not surprising at all! It seems the call-blocking has utterly ceased to function!

I can't believe what my 93-year-old mum went through recently. Out of the blue, she received a call from a company calling themselves Cold Call Elimination, and somehow they managed to convince her to part with £74. Just the weekend prior, my brother had signed her up for the Telephone Preference Service (TPS), which is meant to be a free option. This young woman, Daisy, sweet-talked her into thinking that there was a fee involved, so Mum, unaware and trusting, handed over her debit card information! Honestly, it’s appalling. From what I’ve read in previous comments, it seems like they specifically target vulnerable older women to squeeze them out of their hard-earned money. I highly doubt they mention any of this sketchy behaviour on their website!

I'm one to fancy myself fairly clued-up when it comes to phones, yet I too fell prey to their tactics. I've reached out to them in hopes of getting my money back since I never consented to this service. My bank’s been on the case as well-they've put a halt to any further payments and have given me some solid guidance on how to retrieve the £84.99 that they wrongfully snatched from my account. It’s a classic case of if it seems too wonderful, it probably is. Now, I sit here with bated breath, hoping for my refund!

25th June 2015. A rather dubious outfit rang up my elderly mother and managed to persuade her to divulge her debit card information. Thankfully, the bank acted swiftly to block her card. I’ve ensured her number is listed with the Telephone Preference Service, and I can’t help but ponder if that’s where these unscrupulous callers have obtained their details. This is clearly a scam.

It’s astonishing how many people think that the TELEPHONE PREFERENCE SERVICE is like an enchanted shield against pesky cold calls. In reality, it’s merely a directory that marketing firms ought to consult before making a call to private numbers. Unfortunately, this only applies to British marketers and does nothing to deter foreign call centres. The best way to safeguard yourself from unsolicited calls is to invest in a well-configured call blocker, which can effectively cut out all those annoying interruptions.

I got in touch with my elderly mother, who’s in her eighties, and it's just shocking to see how these heartless individuals exploit those who are more vulnerable. They were trying to squeeze £84.99 out of her for a supposed three-year coverage plan. Thankfully, she saw right through their deceitful tactics and didn't fall for their scam.

A certain number reached out to my elderly mother, who is 80, claiming they could put an end to unwanted phone calls if she shared her credit card information. The caller, introducing herself as Alice from CCE, asked my mum not only for her card number but also the three-digit security code on the back. To make matters worse, she probed into how much money was in her account! When my mum tried to get in touch again to backtrack on her earlier decision, would you believe it-Alice was mysteriously unavailable. Luckily, my mum had the foresight to immediately contact the bank and cancel her cards, which was a bit of a hassle for her. It leaves one wondering, why on earth can’t these dubious companies be shut down for good?

I recently received a rather pleasant phone call from a woman discussing the cancellation of cold calls. My husband, meanwhile, was engrossed in a cricket match and clearly not keen on the conversation, so he chose to ignore it. Curiosity got the better of me later, and I hopped onto my laptop to investigate further, only to discover it was a scam. They were siphoning off £84 from unsuspecting accounts without any consent!

I’ve just had a ring from the number mentioned, and it was eerily similar to the previous calls I've received. I can’t shake off my unease about whether they have the proper clearance to be doing this. I truly appreciate having access to this tool to investigate potentially dodgy businesses; it's a real lifesaver. Rest assured, I won’t be engaging with them!

Recently, the above number contacted my abode and had a conversation with my partner. They claimed they could put an end to all our nuisance calls for just £1.99 a month. Regrettably, my partner divulged the last three digits of our joint debit card. When I rang the company for clarification, I was informed that they would charge an initial amount of £84, followed by £1.90 each month. I made it clear that I did not wish to proceed with this service and that I am the registered account holder. In response, the representative said he would destroy the paperwork, but I expressed my frustration about them requesting our account details over the phone. He assured me it would be obliterated-but honestly, who can really tell? Now we find ourselves in a position of uncertainty, waiting to see what transpires.

I had a rather pleasant encounter with a cheerful young lady who rang me up, claiming she could put a stop to those pesky nuisance calls, even from as far as India! They were offering a fee of £1.90 a month (excluding VAT) for a duration of three years, after which it would be complimentary! I was presented with multiple payment options but opted for a single payment of £84.99 via my debit card. An hour later, I received a follow-up call to ensure I was still satisfied - which I confirmed, and just as they said, the £84.99 was deducted with no further charges. Since then, I haven’t been bothered by any unwanted calls, and this was back in December 2014! If you shell out money for a service and actually receive it, how on earth can that be deemed a scam???? Is your barber out to con you when they request your card after a trim???? Absolutely brilliant service, I must say!

Yesterday, my mum received a call from these dodgy characters claiming to represent BT. Thankfully, her phone has a handy feature that allows us to block certain numbers effortlessly, which I took full advantage of today. It’s quite absurd, really, but I’m far too appalled to find it even a tad amusing.

My mother received a phone call from these scammers last night. Fortunately, as she doesn’t handle the bills, she didn’t divulge any credit card details. They falsely claimed to represent BT and tried to sell her a service for £5 a month or, bizarrely, a three-year advance payment option at £2 a month, totalling £84.99. Clearly, they need to brush up on their arithmetic skills! I've made sure to report them to Action Fraud today.

I recently received a phone call from a firm named CCE, and at first, I thought it might be legitimate. However, I wasn't entirely convinced, so I decided to promptly halt all transactions on my card after divulging all my details. Once I researched the company, I stumbled upon some rather concerning feedback that made me suspect it could be a fraud. Even though they sounded remarkably authentic, I felt it was better to be safe than sorry.

My partner received a rather unexpected phone call from a chap named Chris representing Coldcall Elimination. He claimed that they could put an end to all the pesky nuisance calls that have been bothering us. The charge for this ‘service’ would be £1.90 a month or a lump sum of £84.99 for a three-year commitment, which would then be free afterwards. Now, I’m not a genius with numbers, but calculating £1.90 multiplied by 36 months comes to £68.40, which is quite a bit less than their quoted price for the three years. My husband was quick to mention that he had heard the government was planning to introduce measures to tackle these calls anyway, but amusingly, the caller went completely silent! Dodo March 2015

I am utterly appalled by this company’s practices. They pulled the same stunt with my mum, making her pay for two of these devices! Neither of them worked properly as she couldn’t get caller display on her phone. They had the audacity to claim she hadn’t sent back the first one, despite me having posted it with a signed-for delivery service. I’ve tracked it and have proof they received it! Thankfully, my mum’s bank nipped the direct debit in the bud and she ended up getting a complete refund! I just can’t fathom why they sent two devices and set up a direct debit in the first place! Thanks for letting me vent!

I am absolutely appalled by the experience my elderly mother-in-law had with Cold Call Elimination last week. Being on the Telephone Preference Service, it begs the question as to why they felt it appropriate to ring her in the first place. The lady who called, allegedly named Tina, led her to believe that she was affiliated with BT, her landline provider. In her confusion, she ended up disclosing her debit card information, and before she knew it, £84.99 had vanished from her account. I've reached out to their customer service and am now anxiously awaiting a confirmation of her cancellation.

I recently received an unsolicited phone call from a chap named James, who provided the number 080079778 when I expressed a desire to look into their proposal for blocking "cold calls, even those from India." He assured me that the scheme had the backing of the Government, which initially piqued my interest. However, I've come to realise that I misheard the fee; I thought he mentioned it was £18 and inquired whether this could be settled through our phone provider. James replied, "no," stating that payment had to be made over the phone, after which a colleague would visit to install some sort of device on our phone line. It’s clearly a scam, and I'm quite relieved that I prevented my 92-year-old husband from answering, as James had first requested to speak to him. Is there truly no way to put an end to these vile scams before they defraud more unsuspecting individuals?

Today, I received a rather suspicious phone call from a so-called Cold Call Elimination Team, attempting to sell me a call-blocking device. They quoted a price of £84.99 or a reduced rate of £45 for a two-month trial. When I asked for their address, the individual, who introduced herself as Jane, provided me with one in Chichester, PO19 1PE, and the phone number was 088 779 7788. I must admit I felt a twinge of unease about sharing my debit card info over the phone, but I went ahead and did it. Now that I've done a bit of digging online, I'm increasingly anxious about the legitimacy of this operation, particularly since they assured me of a 14-day cooling-off period for returning the product. To top it off, just about an hour later, a different person rang me to confirm the details of the agreement. I'm left feeling quite alarmed that this might be a scam, especially considering they now have my card information. What would you recommend I do next? T.

This morning, my husband received a call from these folks, who claimed to be representing BT, our landline service provider. When they requested his credit card information, he wisely asked for their contact number and said he would give them a ring back. I suggested he do a bit of digging online, and lo and behold, we stumbled upon several warnings regarding them. It left me puzzled why they couldn't simply add the funds to our phone bill and why they'd ask us for £85, especially since we're signed up with the TPS for free. Yet, those pesky calls still seem to haunt us! Just a heads up, everyone-Cold Call Elimination is merely a private enterprise scheming to exploit those who are a bit more vulnerable!

When you have a chat over the phone and come to an agreement about purchasing a product or service, it's only right to settle the payment, isn’t it? It’s unfortunate that the mere mention of a bank card often raises red flags for folks, who may not fully grasp how it works! It’s not a scam if the item you ordered arrives as promised and the cost is precisely what you consented to!

My elderly mother, who's in her eighties, was recently contacted by a group claiming to be the Cold Call Elimination Team. They led her to believe they were associated with her phone provider. Unfortunately, she ended up shelling out £84.99 for a gadget that arrived just before the festive season. We're intending to return this device, but with the Christmas postal chaos, we might not make the 14-day return window.

Recently, my folks received a call from a woman named Hannah, who claimed to be working for the DEPARTMENT of cold call reduction. She suggested that they were being inundated with nuisance calls and that the matter was linked to their phone provider. Given their advanced age, my parents tend to get quite anxious about these unsolicited interruptions. Hannah then went on to pitch a device costing £84.99 that promised to stop these calls. However, the catch was that they couldn't simply add the charge to their usual phone bill; payment would need to be made separately with their card. After reluctantly providing their card information, my parents became increasingly distressed, prompting us to step in. A quick search revealed a multitude of similar distressing experiences shared online. We swiftly cancelled the card, and the company has since contacted us to confirm that the order is no longer necessary.

My elderly neighbour, who remains quite sharp despite his years, reached out to inform me about a rather dubious phone call he had received. A woman identified herself as a representative from a firm called Sales Elimination and proposed a scheme that supposedly offered to rid folks of pesky nuisance calls for a fee of about £2 a month, which miraculously turns free after three years. She even pushed for a one-off payment of £84, requesting his credit card information. Sensing something amiss, he prudently probed for more specifics about the company, only to be told he could verify its legitimacy via a certain number. He rightly decided against making any commitments over the phone and wisely hung up without divulging any personal information. It’s clear to me this is yet another iteration of a scam, and it’s crucial that others stay informed about these tactics so they can swiftly disconnect from such deceptive calls.

He claimed that for just £25 a month, they could put an end to all those pesky cold calls and even promised to send her a blocker through the post. After a month’s payment was deducted from her account, mum got wind of some unsettling reports about this firm being less than trustworthy, which understandably made her uneasy. She decided to cancel, or so she believed. For three long months, there were no further deductions, but recently, a shocking £90 was taken from her account. I urge everyone to stay vigilant as these individuals seem to be nothing more than a bunch of fraudsters.

My mother has just received an unexpected parcel in the mail, which she insists she never ordered. I suspect they might have cold-called her and tricked her out of her pension funds, considering she is a vulnerable elderly woman. Inside the package was a Pro Call ID Blocker, something that retails for £25, but they've had the audacity to charge her £24 a month for the next five months-totaling £120 for something that's basically worth a mere £25! That's another trip to the bank to halt these payments. I’ve dropped them an email and am now on tenterhooks for their response!

She mentioned that for a mere £2 a month over three years, or a one-off payment of £84.99, she could prevent unwanted calls from bothering me. Apparently, she promised to mail a welcome pack, but needed me to share my card’s 16-digit number first. When I voiced my concerns about her possibly being a nuisance caller herself, she quickly shared a company registration number-08388416-and even mentioned her son is a barrister! She urged me to ring 1471 to retrieve her direct number, which I found to be 01243885972. If this is legit, why not send the welcome pack beforehand so one can decide without pressure? I've been duped by cold callers in the past, so a healthy dose of skepticism is definitely warranted.

I recently received a rather dubious call from this number, with a chap claiming to be Ben Burges from TPS. Initially, he mentioned something about a complimentary call blocker, but lo and behold, he quickly added that it would actually set me back £1.95 each month for a three-year period. This service supposedly promises to scrap both international and local nuisance calls. To top it off, he mentioned a blacklist feature; should any pesky call manage to slip through, I could just press a button and it would be flagged across all devices linked to their service. I can't help but wonder why one would bother paying for this when there's a good chance unwanted calls could still get through. When I tried calling the number back, I was met with a message thanking me for contacting the COLD CALL ELIMINATION TEAM. Quite the contradiction, wouldn't you say?

I got a phone call from this number not long ago. The caller claimed they were aware of the numerous nuisance calls folks in my vicinity were facing. They mentioned they were affiliated with the Government and offered to eradicate these bothersome calls for a monthly charge of £1.90, lasting for three years, and then the service would supposedly be free 'for life'. I didn’t go ahead with the conversation as I wanted to verify the legitimacy of the company first. The chap was courteous and didn’t try to push me into making a decision at all.

I must say, this business is absolutely on the level! Unlike BT, who seem to be doing little about the incessant calls from certain individuals, this firm has shown me nothing but kindness and respect. They’ve effectively halted all that annoying 'loca motion'! Huge appreciation to you, SALLY! You’ve been a great help!

I can vouch for their legitimacy! My welcome pack arrived in the mail, and it included a professional call blocker that effectively eliminates those pesky calls. So far, it seems to be doing the trick splendidly!

I received a call from Shalene on 08007797788, claiming she represented the TELEPHONE PRIVACY SERVICE, which she said partnered with BT. She informed me that our local area had seen a surge in nuisance calls-something I can definitely relate to. For a fee of £2 each month over three years, totalling a maximum of £75, they promised to block all unwanted calls more efficiently than the Telephone Preference Service. They even mentioned taking offenders to court, asserting that it was a lifetime service. She indicated that a Welcome Pack filled with all the necessary information would be sent out, but only if I agreed to the £2/month subscription. I’ve reached out to the legitimate TPS and, upon further investigation, it appears this may just be another scam attempt.

DON'T BE FOOLED BY THIS TRICK! They’re asking a staggering £74.99 just to stop annoying calls, while BT and the Telephone Preference Service offer similar services at no cost. It's a con! Stay sharp and don't get taken in!
