08438795050 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08438795050 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance and likely scam caller frequently ringing once then hanging up to prompt call-backs to expensive premium-rate numbers.

Multiple users have reported calls at inconvenient times and some even on holidays, with many recommending blocking the number immediately.

Seems like they’re doing the same thing all over again. My phone buzzed, just a quick ring before they hung up - didn’t even have a chance to pick up. Definitely not returning that call.

Same thing happened to me! Got a missed call on 28/12/15 and now I’m stuck with a bill for £14. Really frustrating. I don’t get why the phone companies don’t track down these annoying callers and take action against them. Properly annoyed with this whole situation.

AVOID PICKING UP THIS NUMBER - IT COSTS YOU! Tesco Mobile hit us with a 30p fee just for picking up the call! Definitely gonna complain to Tesco since we didn’t ring them first!

I gave filling out Ofcom's form a couple of tries, but both times it messed up right at the end and when I went back all my info was gone. I’m willing to report these calls, but there’s only so long I want to spend on dealing with this hassle. Someone called my phone but stayed silent and then just hung up after a few seconds. It’s starting to happen more often lately. The only thing I can guess is maybe one of the online surveys I do for various companies that claim they don’t pass on my details, but I’ve got nothing else to blame. - caller: 08438795050

To the person claiming they're from Sophos, that’s just not right. I called Sophos myself earlier and they had no clue about that number or why it would be contacting me.

Just one ring then they cut off. Pretty clear they knew they weren’t going to convince me to buy anything useless. Total scam.

They only gave one quick ring, probably hoping I'd call them back? I've heard nothing good about them.

Mate, that’s just a dodgy advert, not the firm that actually rang you from 0843 879 5050.

Got a single ring early on a Saturday, around 7 in the morning; figured it was some kind of scam.

Just one ring then they cut off - total scam, blocked them straight away.

I swear, the government needs to do something about these bloody annoying callers! Why haven't they cracked down and stopped these pests yet? It's well past time they sorted it out and put an end to this nonsense!

This number keeps calling me but then just hangs up on me every time. It's really annoying and I want to report it. Please make it stop! The number is 08438795050.

They called me two times but I never bothered to return the call.

They only called me one time and I missed it, but after reading the reviews here, I’m pretty sure it was just another spam call. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now. The caller sounded like some dull automated system.

SCAM alert. Dont bother ringing back, its a costly premium line that'll drain your cash.

I missed a call on my mobile but didn’t pick up.

Just like lots of others, it rings once then ends the call. Don’t call back, it can charge you up to 51p a minute from your mobile!!!

Just got one quick ring then they dropped the call. Didn’t bother calling back.

Honestly, I think the best thing to do is just answer the phone quickly and then hang up straight away. That way, they’ve wasted their time ringing you.

Sounds like it’s probably just another annoying robocall to me.

Rings me constantly.

It just rang once then stopped. And here i am, officially down on my blocked callers list now.

I got a call earlier but they hung up right before I could pick up, so I’m guessing it was just some annoying spam.

They phone me all the time, but I never seem to hear the phone ring.

This number called me but hung up almost straight away. We're signed up to the telephone preference service, which normally stops these calls, but every now and then a few still get through. Caller ID showed: 0843 879 5050.

This number won’t stop ringing my phone. I've added "should I answer" app and it blocks all the annoying calls now.

Sounds like some lot from a noisy little shed in Kolkata, if I’m honest. We've got both SKY and TalkTalk here, and neither can seem to locate them. Bit shocking really, given it’s 2024 and these big companies can’t manage to track down these annoying calls!

Got a call from a number like this but they hung up right after ringing - looks like a dodgy scam going about. I've seen similar numbers from them pop up a few times. Best not to return the call as it redirects you to a pricey premium line.
