08445715168 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08445715168 👆 is reported as a persistent scam involving unsolicited texts from various mobile numbers, urging recipients to call a premium-rate number quoting a specific reference code. Many have mistaken the messages for legitimate contacts from insurers, utility companies, or online orders but found no authentic origin upon investigation. Callers often endure long hold times without response, resulting in wasted money and anxiety, especially among vulnerable individuals. The scheme appears designed to exploit concern by creating a false sense of urgency. Users strongly advise against returning these calls, as this leads to premium charges without genuine communication. Vigilance and independent verification through trusted sources or official channels are recommended to avoid falling victim to this fraudulent activity.

Hello there! I've been trying to get in touch with you. It's really important that we speak today. Could you please give me a bell on 08445715168 and mention reference number 776119? Cheers!

Received the same text message (as mentioned in previous comments), but we did get a call from the number 01612778191, which we decided not to answer since it’s unfamiliar to us.

Called this number with my mobile and then again with our landline. I've never encountered anything like this before, so I'm a bit baffled. Not certain how to approach the situation!

We received the exact same message on our mobile. Naturally, we gave it a call and can confirm that it's a scam attempt.

Neither do we! It’s wise to steer clear of any text messages that kick off with "ATTENTION!"

Absolutely, my mum had a similar experience, but I can't seem to dig up any information regarding this number. There's no way I'm giving it a ring, how frustrating! xxx

I haven't the foggiest who this might be.

It's utterly frustrating, isn't it? They just keep calling and it's becoming a right nuisance! One can only hope they run into a bit of misfortune themselves!

I received a similar message this morning. It seems like a scam to me, likely involving a premium rate number that’s designed to drain your account every time you use it.
13 years
I called the number after receiving a text and was quite alarmed since my parent is seriously unwell. It’s left me feeling quite anxious and fed up, as I ended up on hold and couldn’t get through at all. What’s the scam behind this?
13 years
For the last few weeks, I’ve been getting calls from this number on a weekly basis, so I decided to investigate. I missed a call today, 16th November, at 1:43 PM from 07456816027, and I received a voicemail that mentioned ‘Insurance’. Shortly after that, at 1:48 PM, a text popped up saying, "ATTENTION! We’ve attempted to reach you, it's crucial we speak today. Please ring 08445715168 and reference 109010. Cheers." I called the number thinking it might be my insurance following up, but I was left hanging on hold for 59 seconds before it dawned on me that it could be a scam, especially since I only found a company called NMS operating out of Africa.

I’ve noticed a pattern with messages like the one I received today. A text pinged through from 07463021787 urging me to urgently ring them back because they had been attempting to reach me. They even mentioned a reference number, 10910, as if it were something official. Thankfully, I recognised it as a scam and decided not to respond. Just a heads up to others!

I got a message at 13:51 on the 16th of November 2013 that read: "URGENT! We've attempted to reach you, it's crucial we have a word with you today. Kindly ring 08445715168 and mention reference 109010. Thank you." Given that I had placed a few online orders lately, along with my elderly mum falling ill, I was a bit fraught, so I immediately called. I found myself on hold for ages, but once I finally got through, I realised I’d been duped. Now I'm feeling quite anxious about the whole situation.

I just got a similar message too! I can't believe I picked up the phone and actually called them, but I thought it might have something to do with the hospital. Thankfully, I ended the call right away!

Received a message at 12:30 on the 19th of November, 2013, instructing me to call 08445715168 referencing 10910, from the number 07456816027.

On the 15th of November, 2013, at precisely 12:23, I received a rather suspicious text from the number +447456816027, urging me to urgently ring 08445715168 regarding reference number 109010. At first, I assumed it might pertain to an Argos order I had made earlier that very day. Thankfully, I decided to do a quick Google search on the number before I replied!

I just got a message from this very number with the reference #776119. I tried calling them back, but ended up on hold with a recorded message saying all agents were busy at the moment. I eventually hung up, but I can’t shake off the concern about potential charges on my phone bill.

Received a dodgy call requesting that I ring back and mention a reference number, yet they failed to provide any context or explanation about the matter at hand. Quite suspicious, if you ask me!

They're at it again! While some might toss around the term 'scam', I'd say 'criminals' fits the bill much more snugly. I received a message that looked suspiciously like an unpaid electricity bill, so I had the bright idea to call back. Honestly, I do tend to surprise even myself with my own naivety at times!

Just received a similar message today from 07463468766, urging me to ring 08445715168. Foolishly, I called back, believing it was regarding my UTR number. Now I’m quite anxious, just like the rest of you! Do you reckon they’ve managed to acquire my personal details through my phone? I would really appreciate it if someone from this website could provide some clarity, or are we all just sharing our experiences of the same number without any actual answers?
13 years
I've received one of those calls too! Didn't hesitate to get rid of it straight away!

Absolutely! I've had a similar experience just now. Got a text nudging me to ring back on that bloomin’ 08445 number. Classic scam alert, so keep your wits about you. Best to just give it the boot and delete it!

I've received a couple of messages from 07643 642845, and both mention the same reference number that seems to be popping up in various other reports. It’s definitely spam, so I’ve decided to just disregard them.

Blimey, I've got to admit, I did a bit of a daft thing. I rang the number and ended up hanging on for ages, only to realise after a while that it felt a bit dodgy. What a right plonker I am!
13 years
Avoid dialling this number at all costs! It’s a premium rate line, and they’ll have you on hold for ages, racking up charges for nothing in return. Before you even think about calling any premium rate numbers, consider these points: Do I genuinely need the information or contact? Is there any legitimate reason for a text message to mention my name or the company involved? Does searching for the number online link it to any organisation with which I have a connection? Don't be foolish by ringing a number simply because you’re instructed to. Unless you enjoy wasting your cash, steer clear!

This morning, I got a rather alarming text that read: "Urgent! We've attempted to reach you. It's crucial that we have a conversation today. Kindly ring 08445715168 and mention ref xxxxxx. Cheers!" The number it came from is +44 7463579989. What a load of absolute nonsense!

Oh dear, it takes me back to a rather unpleasant experience I had about three years ago. I received a similar call and, lo and behold, it turned out to be my credit card that had been compromised, resulting in a hefty bill that left me reeling! Like a right numpty, I ended up falling for the same old trick again! What a palaver!
13 years
I received a message urging me to ring a number, and, in a moment of folly, I went ahead and did so, but I quickly hung up after a few seconds. Now I’m feeling rather anxious after seeing that comment above regarding someone’s credit card being drained in what seems to be a scam. What’s my best course of action? Any advice would be appreciated!

I've just received a rather peculiar text message. I was anticipating a call from the firm I've recently switched my electricity supply to, so it struck me as a bit strange to be put on hold. I needed to dash off somewhere, which made it even more inconvenient. Out of curiosity, I decided to look up the number and stumbled across this website. Honestly, I've no clue what sort of charges I might be incurring from this.
