08445715179 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08445715179 👆 is reported as a well-known scam targeting UK mobile users across multiple networks including EE, O2, Vodafone, and others. Recipients receive text messages urging them to call a specific number quoting a reference code, which is often identical or reused, raising immediate suspicion. When called, the line either places callers on hold with no response, or disconnects after lengthy wait times, incurring charges without any real communication. Many users confirm no prior contact from legitimate sources and strongly advise against calling back. The messages are widely considered nuisance spam with no valid purpose, and blocking or ignoring these numbers is recommended to avoid further issues and potential financial loss.

I received a call from this number on my EE mobile, and it was a right nuisance. They kept me on hold indefinitely without ever speaking to me, and my phone bill just kept climbing. It feels like a scam! I wouldn’t advise calling back unless your bank account is rather well-padded!

I had a couple of calls from this number on the 18th of November, 2013. I decided to ring them back out of curiosity, but I couldn't get through. I've got to say, I found the whole thing rather dodgy. So, I've made the decision not to engage with them anymore. By the way, I'm with Talkmobile.

Hey there! Just wanted to give a heads-up that I've received a similar message. They're pushing for a chat today and have left a number-08445715179-with a reference code of 121190. Very intriguing, isn’t it? However, I've decided against calling and have promptly added the number to my blocked contacts. Cheers!
13 years
Like many others, I got the identical message too. It’s astonishing how they can’t even be bothered to change up the reference numbers - talk about being a bit slack! Luckily, I opted to look it up rather than ringing them. Cheers for all the insights shared here!

It’s evident that this is a rather bothersome scam. What steps can one take to put an end to it, lest others get caught in their trap?

I've been inundated with calls from a number that’s not showing up, and just recently, I got a message stating they’ve been attempting to reach me. It urged me to call back on 08445715179 and to mention a reference code. However, each time I ring, no one picks up. Definitely sounds dodgy to me!
13 years
It seems like a mass notification was dispatched to everyone simultaneously. By the way, I'm currently with O2.

I experienced a similar situation myself. This morning, I had an unfortunate car crash and was quite anxious that it might be related to that incident. I'm relieved to find out it isn't connected, but it did cause me a bit of concern when they mentioned the reference number - it's the same one everyone else got! It's rather unsettling, to say the least.

I just got a message out of the blue and shot back with WHO ON EARTH ARE YOU??? Naturally, there’s been radio silence since then.

08445715179 Just another dodgy scam, if you ask me! I got a text message saying: URGENT! We've attempted to reach you. It's crucial that we have a chat with you today. Please ring 08445715179 and mention reference 121190. How ridiculous!

I've just received a similar message myself. I'll be passing it by, no need to engage.

Heads up, everyone! I’ve received a rather urgent text saying they’ve been trying to get in touch and that it’s crucial we chat today. They want me to ring 08445715179 and mention reference number 121190. However, I’m not familiar with the number and have been attempting to call back, but it seems perpetually engaged. Definitely wouldn’t recommend giving them a ring!

Heads up! We've made attempts to get in touch with you, and it's quite crucial that we communicate today. Kindly ring 08445715179 and mention your reference number 121190. Cheers. I just got the same message with the identical reference number. Foolishly, I reached out and found myself stuck on hold for a couple of minutes before they abruptly ended the call. Definitely seems dodgy, especially since I've been bombarded with calls from withheld numbers recently.

I recently received a similar message on my mobile, which has left me rather unsettled. When I tried to return the call from my home phone, I found myself waiting in a queue, which felt quite suspicious, so I decided to hang up!

Got the identical message too. Just disregard it...
13 years
Received a message from +7456 864 906 instructing me to ring the number with a reference code.

Absolutely dodgy! I tried giving them a bell, and all I got was being left hanging in a queue with some awful hold tunes. Quite the waste of time!

I received a rather alarming text that read, “URGENT! We’ve been attempting to reach you, and it’s essential that we have a word today. Kindly ring 0844571179 with reference number 121190. Cheers.” I gave them a call without taking a moment to look it up on Google, and just got a robotic message stating they were NMS and I should hang tight for an advisor to assist. To be honest, I ended up hanging up the phone pretty swiftly...

I made two attempts to call them. On the first occasion, they abruptly hung up after a ten-minute wait, and during my second call, I was told that no one was free to talk and to try again after half an hour! Browsing through similar numbers makes me suspect it's just a scam!

Received a message from this number just yesterday, but I haven’t bothered to ring them back as it seems dodgy to me.

I decided to give the number a ring after not looking it up beforehand, as I was anticipating a call and my mobile was switched off. I was met with a recorded message saying “NMS, please hold while we connect you to an advisor.” I waited around for a minute or so before losing patience and hanging up. By the way, calling 0844 numbers sets you back roughly 10p a minute.

Just received my inaugural call from one of these numbers-here’s hoping it's the only one! Though, I’m not holding my breath on that front…
13 years
I’m quite relieved I stumbled upon this info. It seems to be the identical number and reference. I’m currently waiting on a delivery of a household appliance, and I was anxious it might be from the delivery firm. However, the message states ‘we have attempted to get in touch with you,’ yet I haven’t received any calls, as both my home phone and mobile would have shown any missed calls. What’s more concerning is how they obtained my mobile number in the first place! The text originated from the number +447463532368. I did attempt to call it, but alas, it leads straight to voicemail!
13 years
Just like all the other calls I've received; it even has the same reference number. I make it a point not to share my mobile with anyone apart from my nearest and dearest, so if the caller's unfamiliar to me, I simply let it ring. Seems wise, given the nature of these calls! I'm quite curious about how they managed to get my number, though... likely just a machine making random calls.

I've just received a pair of messages from +447463527232, both quoting reference number 221779 and urging me to ring 08445715179. From what I've read in earlier discussions, it seems to be a dodgy scheme! Does anyone know the right channels to report these sorts of numbers, and where exactly to send the complaint?
13 years
I’ve just had a rather unexpected text from the number +447463580030 that read:

"URGENT! We’ve been attempting to reach you, and it’s crucial that we speak with you today. Please call 08445715179 and mention your reference 221779. Many thanks."

To be honest, I don’t recognise either of these numbers and have no clue what they might be talking about. I've decided to brush it off completely. If only I knew how to block these pesky numbers on my phone, I would! Lately, I've been inundated with these bothersome calls, and it’s really quite irritating.
13 years
Absolutely! It's crucial that you reach out to us, as we're eager to pile on the charges. I'm really pleased I did a bit of searching online. Cheers to all who shared their thoughts!

Received a rather alarming message from 07463470611, stating, "URGENT: We have attempted to reach you. It's essential we speak with you today. Kindly ring 08445715179 and mention your reference number 221779. Thank you." I've decided against returning their call or replying, and I’m set to block all these dubious numbers on my phone. I've also noticed an influx of missed calls from 01513759861, which will also be added to the block list. I believe that if someone truly needs to get in touch with me, they'll leave a voicemail or find another means of contact should I not answer my mobile. Quite relieved that I took the time to look up these numbers. Absolute nuisance!
