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 got a call on my EE number, they just put me on hold and never pick up again, all the while draining your phone credit. Total scam if you ask me! Don't bother calling them back unless your bank balance is endless.

Got a call from this number two times on 18/11/2013. I tried calling back to figure out who it was, but couldn’t get through. It seemed a bit dodgy, so I’m not answering if they ring again. I’m with Talkmobile by the way.

I just got this exact same message, even using the same reference number. After having a quick look on Google, it seems like it's all a bit dodgy - looks like a scam to me, best to just avoid answering.

Cheers everyone, I got that message too. Is it just happening on O2 mobiles, do you think?

Can't believe I found the same number and reference on here, it's so good to see others sharing about it too!

Got a message from a random number telling me to call back - seems like one of those annoying spam calls.

Got the exact same message from the same phone and they even used the same reference number!

Just got a call like this saying it’s important we talk today and to ring 08445715179 with reference 121190. Honestly, no idea what it’s about so I’m not even bothering to call back. Straight onto the blocked numbers list for me!
13 years
Got the exact same text as loads of others. They didn't even change the reference numbers or anything - proper lazy move if you ask me. I didn't ring back though, decided to look it up on Google before doing anything. Cheers to everyone sharing their experiences here!

Ugh, this has got to be a total scam and it’s so frustrating! Does anyone know a way to make them quit calling, so others don’t get caught out by this?
13 years
Got loads of missed calls from a number I didn’t know, then got a text saying they've been trying to get in touch and to ring 08445715179 with a reference. But when I call, no one picks up. Feels like a total scam to me.
13 years
Seems like everyone on O2 got the same strange call, reckon it's some kind of mass purge they’re sending out all at once.

This morning I had an accident with my car and when I got a call with that reference number I was proper worried it might be about it. Turns out it wasn’t, but the fact they used the same ref as loads of other people isn’t very comforting at all. Bit unsettling, honestly.
13 years
Got this text out of nowhere so I replied with WHO IS THIS??? Of course, didn’t get any answer back.
13 years
I received that exact message too and had the same reaction.

Got a text exactly like that with the same ref number. I just ignored it at first but it did make me a bit uneasy, so I thought I’d look it up here. Happy I did, feels better now.

Got a suspicious text from 08445715179 saying: ATTENTION! We have been trying to reach you. It’s urgent that you call us today. Please ring 08445715179 and mention reference 121190. Doesn’t seem legit, probably a scam.

Received that very message recently. I’m just going to ignore it.

Just received this text on my phone saying they need to talk to me urgently, with a number 08445715179 and reference 121190. No clue who they are though. Tried ringing them back but the line’s always engaged. Best avoid calling that number.
13 years
Heads up! I got the same message saying they needed to speak with me urgently and to ring 08445715179 with reference 121190. I foolishly called them, ended up in a waiting line for a couple of minutes, then the call dropped. Seems like a scam to me. Lately, I’ve been getting loads of calls from hidden numbers as well.
13 years
Got the exact same message on my mobile, really sketchy. Tried calling the number back from my home phone, put me on hold like I was waiting in a queue. Felt off, so I just ended the call!

Got the exact same message, just brush it off...

Got a text from +7456 864 906 telling me to ring that number with a reference code. Totally a scam, I phoned it myself and just ended up waiting on hold forever with some annoying music playing.

I received a message that said something like, URGENT! We've been trying to reach you, it's really important to talk today. Please call 0844571179 and mention ref 121190. So I called straight away, didn’t bother looking it up first, and got an automated reply mentioning NMS and that I should wait for an advisor to respond. I just ended the call there...

Got a call from +447472029547 today, some spam asking me to ring 08445715179. Total waste of time if you ask me.

Haha, I just got one like that a few mins ago too!

Got the exact same message today - total rip-off!

I got that message too, pretty sure it’s a scam. Best just to ignore it!

I got a message saying IMPORTANT! they've been trying to reach me and it’s really urgent to talk today. They asked me to ring 08445715179 and mention reference number 221779. When I called the first time, after about 10 minutes they just hung up. Then I tried again, and this time they said no one was free to chat and to try again in half an hour. Seeing all these similar numbers popping up, it feels like a scam to me!
13 years
Got a message just like that yesterday, didn’t bother calling back, pretty sure it’s a scam.
13 years
So I gave this number a ring, hadn’t looked it up first or anything, coz I was just waiting around and my phone was off earlier. When I called, some automated voice said "NMS please wait while we connect you to an advisor." I stuck it out for a couple of minutes, then just ended the call. FYI, it’s an 0844 number, so it costs around 10p a minute.

Hopefully this is the final time I get a call like this, though I’m not too hopeful. It was just under an hour ago.

I’m really relieved I looked this number up because it’s definitely the same one and same reference. I’m expecting a big domestic appliance to be delivered soon, so I thought it might be from the delivery firm, but the message says “we attempted to reach you” and neither my home phone nor mobile show any missed calls. The strange thing is, how did they even get hold of my mobile number?! The text came from +447463532368, which I tried calling back but it just went straight to voicemail!
13 years
Just like the rest, same reference number as well. I only share my mobile with mates and family, so if I don't know the number, I just let it ring out. Looks like that was a smart move this time! Really curious how they even got my digits though... I'm guessing it's just some automated system dialing at random.
13 years
So, I just got a message from them too. The reference number matches what everyone else has said. I'm gonna just leave it alone. Cheers to everyone here!
13 years
Just received a message from them a moment ago, and it had the same reference number as what others mentioned here. I'm just gonna dismiss it. Cheers to everyone for sharing.

Got two messages from +447463527232, each with this ref number 221779 and telling me to ring 08445715179. From what I’ve seen in earlier reviews, looks like a scam. Does anyone know where you can report these dodgy numbers? Cheers!
13 years
Got a text from +447463580030 just now saying: "URGENT! We’ve been trying to reach you, it’s important to talk today. Please ring 08445715179 with reference 221779. Cheers." Don’t recognise either of the numbers and haven’t got a clue what they’re on about. I’m just going to ignore it. Wish I knew how to block these numbers on my phone though, been getting loads of annoying calls lately and it’s getting really frustrating.
13 years
Definitely a scam, they want you to ring them so they can make a fortune off you. Lucky I looked them up first. Cheers to everyone who shared info!
13 years
Same here, I've been ringing that number but just get some robotic voice saying all the agents are tied up. No idea what it's even regarding.
13 years
This reeks of a scam to me - such a dodgy message, honestly. Wouldn't trust it for a second.
13 years
Looks like they probably blasted out a whole bunch of calls all at once.
13 years
Just got a message on my phone about 15 minutes ago asking me to quote 221779 as a reference. Now that I realise they're sending the exact same thing to loads of people, I'm fine to delete it.
13 years
Has anyone else got this identical text message? I've just received one myself.
13 years
Got a message just like that one, with the same reference number, saying someone needed to speak to me today. Pretty sure it’s a scam or something fishy going on.

Received a message from 07463470611 saying something like "ATTENTION: We have tried to reach you, it’s crucial we get in touch today. Please ring 08445715179 with reference 221779. Thanks." I haven’t bothered to respond and will just block these numbers on my phone. Also got a few missed calls from 01513759861 which I’m planning to block too. I reckon if someone really needs to reach me, they’d leave a voicemail or try another method instead of just calling repeatedly. Good thing I looked up these numbers online. Proper annoying callers.

Got a txt today telling me to ring this number ASAP. It said something like "IMPORTANT! We've been trying to reach you, it's really important to talk today." I was also asked to mention ref 221779 when I call. Bit sketchy if you ask me.
13 years
Got the same message with that exact reference number 221779. No way I'm calling back, if it was urgent they’d at least say who they are.
13 years
Got one of these messages myself, probably just some dodgy scammer trying their luck. I’m just gonna block the number along with all the other spam calls and texts on my phone.
13 years
I just received the same message too.
13 years
Yep, just the same rubbish and the exact same ref number as before.
13 years
Got a text today saying I need to ring this number ASAP. It said something like IMPORTANT! They’ve supposedly been trying to reach me and it’s really urgent we talk today. The message even gave a reference number 221779 to mention when calling. Thing is, nobody ever got in touch with me before this, so not sure what’s going on.
13 years
Can someone explain how on earth they got my number? Seriously, just stop texting me! It's so annoying...
13 years
I got stuck on hold for ages, like 5 minutes, and then decided to look up the number online - turns out it’s a total scam. People really need to be more careful with these calls.

If you get spam texts, just send 'em over to 7726! It's a quick way to help stop the junk messages. Don't just ignore them, forwarding is simple and does good!

I got a call from this exact number, same reference as well. It felt exactly like the message you mentioned. Strange how these calls keep popping up!
