08438320147 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08438320147 👆 is reported as a nuisance spam number linked to automated debt-related marketing calls, often about debt consolidation or loan offers. Many users experience frequent, unsolicited calls with no one answering when picked up, and answering or returning the call may result in a charge. The number appears to be connected to a company operating call campaigns, sometimes after users provide details through unrelated services. Despite being registered with the Telephone Preference Service, complaints remain high. Blocking via phone settings or call-blocker apps is advised, though older phones may lack effective options. Authorities like the ICO are recommended for reporting misuse, especially if charges occur. Overall, it is best to avoid answering or returning calls from this number to prevent spam and potential premium rate fees.

Indeed, I just received a call from this number. A quick search online suggests it's linked to a spam operation focusing on PPI claims. Quite dodgy, to say the least!

I asked my phone company about this number and they said it's a spam caller. Best to ignore it. I even heard that someone got billed £1.00 just for picking up when this number called.

Not long ago, I got a recorded telemarketing call from the number 08438320147.

What I’d recommend is getting in touch with ICO via:
http://consumers.ofcom.org.uk/2012/10/recorded-message-marketing-calls/
They'll reach out to the company behind the call and try to stop these sort of calls happening.

If you ended up being charged when answering one of these calls, you can also ring 'Phone Pay Plus' at 0207 940 7474 - they can help get your money back if it was a premium rate scam.

This number rang me and when I answered, there was just a recorded voice talking about debt help and some new laws or whatever. It's one of those annoying sales calls where you can't even ask them to stop ringing cause it's all automated.

They've called me twice in the past week alone.

Got a call from this number earlier today, but there was nothing on the other end, just silence. Later on, around midnight, my phone blinked like it was getting a call but didn’t ring at all (and it wasn’t on silent either). So I looked up the number online and ended up here.

I’m using an old Nokia, so I don’t have any fancy apps to block numbers.

Does anyone know how I can stop this number from contacting me?

I ignored the call since I didn't know the number, plus anything beginning with 08 always rings alarm bells for me! If you haven't already, try downloading the 'Blocker' app. It's super simple and with just a couple of taps, it stops those annoying calls and messages from coming through again.

Got a call from this number myself and I picked up without realising who it was. After looking into it a bit, I’m pretty sure they’re scammers. They’re not interested in chatting, they just want you to phone them back because every time you call, it costs you and they make money from it. People who own 0843 numbers can control how much those calls cost - worth checking out. - Neil

Got a call from this number out of the blue and it's really frustrating because I always make sure to opt out of marketing when I sign up on websites. If anyone knows which firm is behind this or who’s passing our info to them, please let me know - I want to complain about it.

Normally i dont share my phone number with anyone, but somehow i keep getting unwanted calls from this specific number. The only thing that worked for me to stop them was installing an app from the play store to block these annoying calls.

Received a call from this number just now. Since hardly anyone has my contact details, I really don’t know how they got it! I’m not bothering to pick up though - I’ve got a baby to look after and honestly, no time for annoying calls!

They were likely trying to sell loans. I just caught the bit where they said something like "clear debts over 10 grand" and I ended the call. I only picked up because I was expecting a call back about a repair job!

Loads of spam calls every single day, really irritating and they just keep coming non stop. Totally pointless and a pain.

Got a call around 3:35pm today, answered it and immediately it was some robotic voice going on about government rules and debts. I didn’t even bother listening, just ended the call after a couple of seconds!

This number has been calling my work phone recently, so I've gone ahead and blocked it. Cheers to everyone sharing info here, because without it, I might've ended up wasting time trying to get through to them.

Today, 17/09/2013, they still rang me up. Honestly, if one more call comes through, I’m definitely reporting them to the ICO. I’m on the TPS list and really don’t appreciate these calls. I’ll let you know what the ICO says when I get in touch with them.

I just saw a missed call from this number. I never share my number with anyone since it's private.

My missus just missed a call from this number on her private mobile.
Feels like another bit of that "socially pointless" world we live in.

Credit to Mark Carney for the phrase.

I got a call on 17th Sept from someone offering debt reduction, sounded really polished like a professional recording. My number isn’t public or anywhere online. If anyone knows how to get in touch with this company, I'd really like to raise a complaint.

Got a call on Tuesday 17th September 2013 at 9:55 am. I didn’t pick up because it was an 08 number, and I usually only respond to calls that show a name, like ones saved in my contacts. This site really helped me figure it out, cheers! Jennie

I keep a phone just for emergencies with my mum who’s seriously unwell, but this number keeps ringing non-stop. It’s really annoying.

Just saw I missed a call from this number, cheers for the heads-up about not phoning back. Wondering where they find these numbers from?

I keep getting annoying calls from this number. My phone number isn’t listed anywhere, so it’s obvious someone from this company shared it without permission.

Same here, just completely ignore these calls.
