My phone rang six times from this number, and I ended up being charged 11 pence for each call! Unfortunately, I had my device set to silent, so I didn't pick up any of them. I only realised it when I got my phone bill - quite the unpleasant surprise! This happened back on the 3rd of May.

What a sham! This number pops up on my phone bill even though I haven't actually called it. I've lodged a complaint with BT, and they're looking into it.

I've noticed this particular number appearing ten times on my recent BT statement, adding up to £1.70. I'm really baffled as to how this has occurred and would love to find a way to prevent it from happening again.

I received a call from 08444124997 and noticed I’ve been billed for it. It’s rather puzzling, as I’m unsure why that has happened!

I've not reached out to this number, yet I've been billed for a call. I really want to give this number a thumbs down. I have absolutely no interest in receiving any further communication from them.

I received a rather peculiar situation on Wednesday, the 9th of August, 2017, when my BT landline dialled the same number twice in rapid succession, once at 14:47 and then again at 14:48. Each call lasted a mere six seconds and incurred a fee of £0.129 for each attempt, as detailed in my BT bill under the label "Service No". Strangely, this number doesn't match the one I have registered for my alarm monitoring service. I strongly recommend that others look into these suspicious calls as well.

Essentially, it’s an alarm receiving hub, so there’s no need to worry about any scams here. What would be wise is to have your alarm provider adjust the configuration on your control panel. If it’s incorrectly set up, it could end up forwarding calls to this number whenever you engage or disengage the alarm. Should you choose to block it, bear in mind that if an actual intruder were to enter your property, the call for assistance wouldn’t get through, potentially leaving you without police support when you're in dire need of it.

I've had repeated charges every time this number rings my home phone. What's the best way to prevent these folks from getting through?

We've just noticed a call coming through on one of our lines, which we reserve solely for the EPOS system-I've never dialled it myself.

It appears this number is associated with an alarm monitoring centre. Do you happen to have a monitored security system installed? If that’s the case, and the number has been blocked for some reason, it could pose a problem during a crisis-should an intruder make their way inside, your alarm wouldn't be able to call for help.

I've been noticing this particular number cropping up on my phone records from my internet service provider since the 31st of August. It seems to be making calls using my line without my consent! Shockingly, I’ve been charged for these calls-typically twice daily-at a rate of 6p each. Last month alone, I racked up an extra £7.20 due to this. I've reached out to my ISP, and they’re currently looking into it. Thankfully, I’ve received a refund for the excess charges. However, I strongly advise everyone to scrutinise your itemised bills every month. These fraudsters are banking on folks not double-checking their statements. They must be making quite a packet from this scam. We really need to put a stop to these nefarious activities!

We've noticed that our phone dials this number on its own, and it's happening roughly four times daily. We're now seeing extra charges creeping onto our bill from our phone provider because of it. Does anyone have any insight into what might be causing this?

Our landline seems to be calling this number once daily without our input. We’re not making these calls ourselves, and it’s racking up a charge of 17 pence each time. It’s rather perplexing, and we’re quite keen to figure out what’s going on. If anyone could help us identify this number, it would be greatly appreciated!
