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!
13 years
I've been plagued by this number bombarding my landline with incessant calls at intervals of under two minutes. If I have the misfortune to pick up, they hang up immediately, but even if I ignore the ringing, they persist with calls roughly every five minutes. I reckon they've reached out over fifteen times at this point... I can't help but feel this has crossed into the realm of harassment, hasn't it?
13 years
I just had a rather irritating experience where this number called me a staggering eleven times in under five minutes! I even had a chat with someone claiming to be a manager, yet when I asked to speak to him once more, I was unceremoniously cut off. Quite absurd, to say the least!

Received a call that was just a recorded message regarding some sort of debt cancellation. Surely that can’t be lawful, can it?

My wife returned the call to this number, and it set us back 41p for just 10 seconds! When I checked the bill later, I was quite surprised. I decided to give the number a go myself, but luckily, Vodafone chimed in with an automated message, informing me that I didn't have sufficient funds in my account (£16) to complete the call! Best to block this one altogether!

I’ve had a fair few calls from this number lately. I’m almost certain it’s someone purporting to be from Vodafone, my service provider. I’ve picked up in the past, but I’ve decided to ignore any future calls as they’re clearly trying to sell something.

I've had enough of this number, it’s clearly just another scam! Best to block both calls and texts from it.

I've received a fair number of calls from this number, but I tend to ignore them. Fortunately, I don’t rely on voicemail, so that’s a bonus! I’m really pleased to have pinpointed who it is, all thanks to your site.

They rang me just after one o'clock today on a mobile number I rarely share. I wasn't able to answer, but they left a message-or rather, a snippet of one. It sounded like an automated call concerning some sort of debt cancellation.
13 years
I received a call from that same number earlier today. When I picked up, I was greeted by a recorded voice claiming that if I was in debt to the tune of 10k, they could assist me with a 70% reduction - or something along those lines. Quite the automated spiel! It's not the first time they’ve rang me; they did so about a week ago as well. I’ve decided it’s high time to block the number!
13 years
I've had a couple of calls from this number today, but now their mobile seems to be switched off.

I've received yet another call from this organisation, marking the third instance now. This time, it was yet another automated message claiming they can assist with debt elimination. Just recently, I found myself facing a county court judgement courtesy of Severn Trent Water, so I'm beginning to wonder if they’ve handed off my mobile number to these folks or if this company is rummaging through court records looking for potential clients. It’s honestly becoming rather irritating!

I received a call from this number today and picked up because I was anticipating a call from Currys regarding a computer repair. Unfortunately, I was in a rather poor reception zone and the call dropped. After several attempts to ring back, I finally got through on my fourth go. However, the moment they mentioned they were from an African marketing firm, I hung up straight away. Fingers crossed it doesn't end up costing me too much!

Rang me twice, so I decided to switch off my phone. I’ve only shared this number with my immediate family, so I reckon I’ll need to get myself a new SIM. Can’t seem to shake off these annoyances!

I’m really fed up with this number! It keeps bombarding me with those annoying automated voicemail messages, and it’s costing me just to listen to them! Honestly, they need to get a grip and stop this nonsense-let’s hope they’re put to an end very soon!

What steps can I take to block this number?

I had a phone call earlier today, so I decided to return the call. All I got was a recorded message indicating they were some marketing firm from Africa. I'm quite certain this has set me back financially!

Once more, I found myself on the receiving end of a call from yet another fraudster.

I stumbled upon their contact details at http://www.dma.org.uk/content/contact. It seems they share the same address as MPS Online, which is a marketing firm. They've got a London-based 0207 phone number you can ring. Just inform them that you wish to have your number taken off their mailing list; if they persist in reaching out to you, it could well be deemed harassment!

Received a call from this number today (13.03). I missed it, but to be frank, I wouldn’t have picked up from a number like that anyway. I’m puzzled as to how they got hold of my mobile; I don’t use it much and definitely don’t advertise it online or anything.
These pesky cold callers are truly infuriating! Just a total drain on time and resources!

I mistakenly returned the call, believing it to be from someone I knew. However, I was greeted by a voicemail claiming to be from an African Marketing firm. I’m still in the dark about what charges I might incur. Could someone please put a stop to this number?

I received a call from this number earlier, but they didn’t bother to leave a voicemail. My best guess is it’s likely some sort of cold caller or an auto-dialler, considering my number isn’t publicly available.
I can’t help but concur - there really ought to be stricter rules to clamp down on these pesky unsolicited calls. If I’m in the market for a product or service, I’d much prefer to reach out to the companies of my own accord. In fact, these kinds of calls do the opposite of motivate me; they push me away rather than pull me in!
13 years
Curious indeed! Just received a call from that number myself, but it rang off before I could answer. Seems like they have something up their sleeves.

It's rather peculiar, isn't it, how so many people are identifying this as a debt collection agency? I just received a call myself, but I was busy with work and couldn't pick up. Out of curiosity, I decided to ring the number back using my office phone, and to my surprise, it was an automated system that greeted me. The recorded message claimed to be from a company called Media Source Africa, supposedly involved in sales and marketing. Quite odd, I thought, especially when they directed me to a website that doesn’t seem to correspond with the name they mentioned (http://www.mpsonline.org.uk). Now I can't shake the worry that I might have jeopardised my job by calling back. The system did give me an option to opt out from their communications, which seemed fishy to me. I’d recommend steering clear of this one! Caller: Media Source Africa

Rascals, absolute pests! It's the first instance I've encountered these particular fools on my phone. I daresay they're likely dialing through mobile numbers in some sort of sequence, like 001, 002, 003, and so on. Quite the bother, I must say!

I had a call from them earlier today as well. If possible, just toss them on the 'block list' - it’s been quite effective for a handful of other persistent nuisances. Honestly, I do hope that telecom providers or the government take action to put an end to these bothersome calls!
13 years
I received a rather peculiar automated call recently, claiming that due to fresh government regulations, one could potentially write off as much as 75% of their debt if they had unsecured debts exceeding £10,000! Quite odd, I thought, considering this was the very first call from this number, and it landed on my mobile - a number I rarely share! This happened just a few hours after I requested a remortgage quote, which raised my suspicions. They prompted me to press 5 to proceed, but I chose to end the call at that point. Strangely enough, this number has been ringing me about twice a week since then!
13 years
Just had a call from this number a short while ago, but I chose not to pick up as I steer clear of 08 numbers and ones I don’t recognise. I did a quick search online and straight away blocked the number on my phone. My number isn’t circulated and I don’t use it for any official purposes, sticking to my landline for those instances. So, it's quite puzzling how they managed to get their hands on it in the first place...

I picked up the call, but there was absolutely nothing on the other end. It seemed to me that they were just fishing for me to call them back, probably so they could hit me with those sky-high charges. Not a chance I’m calling back!

Received my second call today. Dialled back from my work mobile to find out more. It was just the usual marketing rubbish. They claimed they had "checked all numbers with the TPS."

I received a rather unsolicited call from this number on my Vodafone mobile roughly an hour ago. Curiosity got the better of me, so I decided to return the call, thinking it might be related to my car insurance. Instead, I was greeted by a recorded voice, which thanked me for ringing back before launching into a spiel about "promoting my business." Naturally, I ended the call promptly. Just another irritating telemarketer, it seems! I do wonder, though, how they're managing to obtain my phone number in the first place.
