We reckon it’s likely linked to the Three network.

These folks are nothing more than opportunistic vultures; it’s all automated messages telling you that if you’re in over £10,000 of debt, you can wipe off a whopping 70% of it. It feels like a complete scam to me!

Gave our mobile a ring at twenty-five past twelve, but didn’t leave a message.

Received a call from this number earlier today while we were busy attending to a client. Naturally, we couldn't answer at that moment. What’s quite frustrating is that they didn't bother leaving any sort of message, leaving us utterly perplexed about their identity. Really unsure who these individuals could be!

Been getting calls on my home phone from this number like every couple mins. When I pick up, they hang up right away, but if I just leave it on ring, it comes back round about every 5 minutes. I reckon they've phoned over a dozen times now... feels kinda like harassment to me?
13 years
They called me about 11 times within 5 minutes, and even after I spoke to some manager, they kept ringing. When I asked to talk to the manager again, they just cut the call on me.

Got a call earlier, some robotic voice talking about wiping out my debts or something. Isn’t stuff like that against the law?

Had my phone buzzing non-stop with loads of calls back to back, seriously annoying.

So my missus rang this number back and it ended up costing us 41p for just 10 seconds. When I saw it show up on the bill, I gave it a try from my phone. Luckily, Vodafone’s automated message said I didn’t have enough credit (£16 left) to make the call! Seriously, just block the number!

This number has called me multiple times, and I'm fairly certain it's someone pretending to be from Vodafone, saying they’re "your service provider." I used to pick up but stopped now since it’s just a sales pitch.

This number keeps calling my phone and it’s getting really annoying. You’d think if I don’t pick up, they’d take the hint and stop bothering me. Honestly, I wish they'd just leave me alone already.

I've had a couple of calls from two numbers that are pretty much the same, and I just don't pick up.

These calls keep coming daily, and even though I don’t pick up, it’s really annoying!

They keep calling me over and over all day, it's so annoying!

This number's a total scam, so I'd just block it and don't even bother replying.

They’ve called me several times, but I usually just let it ring. Good thing I don’t use voicemail. Anyway, cheers for this site - now I actually know who's behind the calls!
13 years
Got a call just after 1pm today from a mobile number I hardly ever share. Missed it, but they left some sort of voicemail, seemed like an automatic message about clearing debts or something like that. Definitely sounded like one of those scammy calls.
13 years
Got a call from the same number today, picked up and it was one of those automated messages saying something like if you owe £10,000 they can reduce it by 70%, then asking me to press 5 or something. I think this number rang me last week too. Going to block it for good this time.
13 years
Got two calls from this number earlier, but now it’s switched off. What’s going on?
13 years
Been getting calls from this firm for the third time now. Each time, it’s a recorded voicemail saying they can assist with clearing debts. I’ve just had a county court judgement put on me by Severn Trent Water, so not sure if they’ve passed my phone number along or if this company is just digging through court records looking for people. Either way, it’s starting to get proper irritating!

got a call from this number earlier today, thought it was currys about fixing my laptop so I picked up. I was in a spot with bad signal so call dropped, tried calling back a few times. finally got connected but as soon as they started talking about some african marketing scheme I hung up straight away. fingers crossed it wasn’t a pricey missed call!

I've been getting loads of calls from this number, all just automated messages left on my voicemail. It’s really annoying, especially since I have to pay to listen to them. Honestly, I wish they'd stop calling altogether.

I found out they share the address with MPS Online, some marketing firm. You can ring them on an 0207 number and ask them to take your number off their mailing list. If they keep ringing after that, you can consider it harassment! Check http://www.dma.org.uk/content/contact for more info.

Got a call from this number earlier today (13.03). I didn’t pick up, but honestly, I wouldn’t have answered anyway given the suspicious number. I’m baffled how they managed to get hold of my mobile though, I barely use it and never put it online or anything like that. Proper irritating those cold call people, just a pointless nuisance!
13 years
I called back by mistake, thinking it was a different number. The voicemail mentioned something about an African marketing firm. Not sure how much this will cost me yet. Really wish they’d just deactivate this number.

They just rang me up a moment ago but I didn't pick up.

Got a call from this number, didn’t pick up and they didn’t leave any voicemail either. I’m guessing it’s one of those annoying sales calls or an auto-dialler since my number isn’t out there anywhere. Honestly, they really ought to have laws cracking down on these unwanted calls. If I’m interested in something, I’ll reach out myself to the companies I want. Getting calls like this just puts me off the business, rather than making me want to use them!

Got a missed call from this number earlier today, looks like they're really persistent. Quite curious what's going on with them.

Strange how everyone’s saying it’s some debt collector...

I got a call from this number earlier while I was at work but didn’t pick up. I rang back from my office phone and it was an automated message.

It claimed to be from a company called Media Source African, dealing with sales and marketing?

They gave me a website address too, but when I checked it (http://www.mpsonline.org.uk), it didn’t match up with what they said at all.

Kinda worried I might’ve cost my workplace something for calling that number back.


There was a chance to opt out at the end too.

Would recommend steering clear...

Got a call from them earlier today as well. If you’re able, just chuck them on your ‘block list’ - that’s stopped loads of annoying numbers bothering me before. Honestly, I wish the phone providers or even the government would do something to stop these calls for good.
13 years
Got a strange call from this number on my mobile, which I hardly ever share, especially with strangers. The automated message said something about new government rules that let you cut down unsecured debts over £10,000 by up to 75%! I had just asked for a re-mortgage quote a few hours earlier, so it felt a bit suspicious. When it asked me to press 5 to proceed, I just hung up straight away. Now it keeps ringing me like twice a week. Proper annoying!
13 years
Got a ring from this number maybe about 10 mins back, but I didn't pick up - I generally avoid 08 numbers and anyone I don't recognise. I looked it up online afterwards and decided to block it on my phone. My mobile’s never shared anywhere public, I only put my landline down for stuff like that, so no clue where they could've snagged my number from... really puzzled.

I picked up the phone and there was nothing on the other end. Turns out they just wanted me to call them back so they could hit me with some expensive premium charges. No way am I calling back!

Today at 12:23 I saw a call from this number but couldn't pick up. Then, just a little while ago, it rang again at 16:29. Hmmm, what could it be?

It's odd that every single message from this number popped up just today. Feels a bit dodgy to me. They’ve already called me twice, and if they try again, there’s no way I'm picking up.

They kept ringing me but never picked up when I answered. Seriously, the government and phone firms need to step in and stop these calls for good.

Got another call earlier today so I called back on my work mobile. They went on about some marketing stuff. Claimed every number's been TPS screened. Complete rubbish! My number's listed with the TPS and still, I've had two calls in just four hours?! Ridiculous.

About an hour ago, I received a call to my Vodafone mobile from this number. Figured it could be my car insurance firm, so I rang back. But all I got was an automated voice saying thanks for calling back, then a spiel about marketing their business... so I just ended the call there. Yet another annoying nuisance... how do they even manage to have my phone number?
