08445715189 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08445715189 👆 is reported as a widespread scam primarily targeting Vodafone users, where recipients receive unsolicited texts urging them to call a premium-rate number quoting a reference code. The message falsely claims the sender has tried to contact them and insists on urgent communication. Many victims who call back incur significant charges and lengthy waiting times without meaningful contact. Legitimate organisations typically identify themselves clearly, unlike this operation. Users are advised not to respond, block the numbers, and report the spam to their network provider. Forwarding the messages to 7726 (SPAM) is recommended to help networks combat such scams. Exercising caution and verifying unknown contacts online can prevent financial loss and distress.

Steer clear of calling them when you receive a text; it's nothing but a scam. You'll end up waiting in a lengthy queue and faced with outrageous charges.

On the 7th of November 2013, I got a message urging me to ring reference number 440978. Honestly, isn't it about time the authorities put an end to these nuisances? They ought to be blocking these phone numbers, hunting them down, and tethering them to a phone mast somewhere remote-perhaps in the middle of the Sahara!

I've received a very similar message myself, dated Thursday, 7th November 2013. It came from the number +44 7456 803633 and it went something like this: "URGENT! We've made attempts to get in touch with you. It’s crucial that we converse today. Kindly ring 08445715189 and mention your reference number 277898. Much appreciated." Interesting to note that several others on this platform share the same reference number. Moreover, I've observed that among those who have indicated their network provider, all three happen to be with Vodafone. Guess what? I'm with Vodafone too!

I've just received a rather similar message myself. It went something along the lines of, 'URGENT! We've attempted to get in touch with you; it’s crucial that we have a conversation today. Please ring 08445715189 and mention your reference number 440978. Cheers.' I must say, I’m quite grateful for this website-I promptly severed the call.

I’ve received a concerning text from 07456875306 demanding an urgent callback. I’ve alerted my husband and son about it since they’re both job hunting and sending off tons of applications. They might mistake it for a genuine reply. People can be so vile, honestly.
13 years
Blimey! It seems I've stumbled upon the exact same reference number, 277898, as quite a few others. Do you reckon there's a reward in it for me? 😂

Received a message from 07456791369 that read: "ALERT!! WE'VE ATTEMPTED TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU, YADA YADA, AND THEN IT WANTS ME TO RING BACK QUOTING REFERENCE 440978. CHEERS." What a load of rubbish! They’ve never made any effort to reach me-it’s clearly some dodgy scheme. I wouldn't be surprised if it's some dastardly loser behind this nonsense!

Got a call earlier today. Luckily, I had the sense to look it up on this site beforehand. Spread the word to all your mates!

Count me in as well. I attempted to call using both my mobile and the landline, but didn't stick around for too long. Surely, there's got to be a method to put an end to these money-hungry scoundrels!
13 years
I gave them a ring and ended up waiting ages on the line, so I decided to look this up. In the end, I just hung up.
13 years
I can confirm that this number is an absolute fraud - fortunately, I looked it up beforehand. I received a rather alarming text that read as follows: “IMPORTANT NOTICE! We have made several attempts to reach you; it is crucial that we have a word today. Kindly ring 08445715189 and mention your reference number 277898. Many thanks.” Whatever you do, steer clear of them - giving them a call will likely drain your wallet and it’s all a total scam.
13 years
Received a message claiming they’d been attempting to reach me, urging me to ring back and reference number 277898. This whole scam has left me feeling quite unwell; I'm worried this will result in an exorbitant mobile bill!
13 years
What a right farce this whole situation is! The amount they’re charging is absolutely ridiculous, and it’s got to be put to an end. Honestly, I’m fuming! It’s just outrageous how greedy these people are; they clearly haven’t a clue about the struggles others might be facing. I sincerely hope they get found out and face some serious consequences. By the way, they’ve been using this number: +447453064250, claiming, “We’ve been attempting to reach you; it’s critical we have a chat. Do ring us at 0844515189 and reference 277898.” For goodness' sake, someone put a stop to them!
13 years
Blimey, they caught me too! I was just in the process of searching the number online when they rang back, and then hung up before I could say a word. Typical, isn’t it?

I just received a message that was identical to the last one-definitely smells like a scam!

I’ve just received the very same message! I rang them back on my work phone, mainly due to an insurance claim I'm anxiously awaiting feedback on... then I stumbled upon this and promptly disconnected! Honestly, these chaps are a right bunch of rogues.

I’m really relieved to find this website offering guidance. I received the same "urgent" message, but I decided to search online before reacting. It seems like these types of messages are crafted to provoke a reply, which can be quite unsettling for many. However, thanks to the insights I found here, I managed to avoid falling into their trap. What a dreadful bunch of scammers!
13 years
Avoid answering this number; it's definitely a scam! I was kept waiting on the line for a couple of minutes while my partner looked into the number for me, and as soon as I figured it out, I promptly hung up.

It's best not to reveal their name; it's a right nuisance having them bother you.

I recently received a rather alarming message urging me to call this number: "URGENT! We've made several attempts to reach you. It's crucial we hear from you today. Kindly ring 08445715189 and mention your reference 440978. Thank you." Naturally, I felt it best to look it up online, as I’m quite reluctant to respond to calls or texts from numbers I'm unfamiliar with. I'll be reporting this incident to Vodafone later today.

Yet another one bites the dust... they're not bothering to ring back. I’m absolutely knackered with all these scam calls and messages!

I've just received the same text message requesting contact, complete with the reference number 440978. It’s clearly a scam - trustworthy organisations always identify themselves, like the Bank of Scotland, for instance. Prior to this, I noticed a call on my landline and mobile from 'unavailable' which I reckon may be linked to this dodgy outfit as well.

I’ve just had a rather alarming text from +44 7456 791369, which read: "URGENT! We’ve attempted to reach you. It’s crucial we have a word today. Kindly ring 08445715189 and mention your reference 440978. Cheers." Not long before this text, I received a call from 0843 832 0162, but because it was an unfamiliar number, I chose to ignore it. As if I’d be foolish enough to ring the number they’ve sent me! I’d wager it’s one of those premium-rate lines that would bleed me dry with exorbitant charges per minute. Honestly, it’s frustrating how these individuals cannot be bothered to put their efforts into something worthwhile that they could take real pride in. Absolute wanters!

I've experienced the same thing on my phone-definitely wouldn’t recommend calling back.

I recently received a rather intriguing text that read: "URGENT, we've made several attempts to get in touch with you, it's vital that we speak today." The number displayed was 07456 841910, and it instructed me to mention reference 440978 when I called the number 0844 571 5189. However, I haven't received any missed calls, so I decided to do a bit of digging online. To put it simply, I'm rather sceptical and won’t be returning their call.

Today, I received a message from this company that was obviously a phoney 'important update' along with a dubious 'reference ID'. I have no intention of dialing them, so they'll be swiftly added to my blocked contacts.

WARNING! We've made attempts to reach you; it's crucial that we have a conversation today. Kindly ring 08445715189 and mention your reference number 440978. Thank you.

If they're genuine, they should try ringing me again.

If you happen to come across this, do pass it along to your mobile provider. Here’s a snippet from the website http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/phones/stop-spam-texts. The major networks have an easy and cost-free way to tackle this issue. Just send the dodgy message to 7726, which conveniently spells out SPAM, ensuring you add the number of the sender as well.

They never revealed their identity, which was a major clue that it was all a scam!

I received a text from the number +44 7456791369 that said something along the lines of: "Urgent! We're trying to reach you. It's crucial we speak with you today. Please call 08445715189 and mention your reference number." Instead of dialing the 0844 number as they requested, I decided to remove the +44 and ring the 07456791369 directly. However, no one answered; I was instead greeted by a voicemail. Seems quite dubious, doesn't it? Looks like a scam to me!
13 years
Avoid returning their calls at all costs! My partner tried reaching out and found herself stuck on hold for a tedious ten minutes. When I got back home, I urged her to disconnect, but it was too late-the call ended up costing her a whopping £22.38. It’s clearly a con!
13 years
I've had a similar experience, to be honest. I accidentally shot off a message asking who it was, thinking it might be urgent. I didn't actually ring them up, though. A couple of minutes later, it hit me that I really messed up, so I hopped onto this site to share my tale. I'll keep you updated on how much that cheeky message costs me once the bill arrives!

I just rang the mobile number mentioned in the message and left a rather cheeky note. Seems like some numpty is lounging about on their PlayStation while raking in the cash. Does anybody know of a way to hit those scammers with a hefty charge back?

Fraudsters everywhere! Just steer clear and don’t bother picking up or returning their calls.

It appears I'm receiving the same old spiel as everyone else - attempts to reach you and so forth, along with a reference akin to what others have reported, stating a negative response. I did attempt to call back, but with my number hidden. I got a response stating their company was NMS, yet I couldn't get through to anyone to have a proper conversation! What a situation!
NMS

I’ve experienced precisely the same issue! I was left hanging on the line for a couple of minutes only to discover I was dialling into one of those pricey premium rate numbers. I reckon I've just wasted about 50 pence! It’s a clever little scheme if they’re getting others to fall into the same trap as I did. The caller ID showed “NMS” - not a clue who they are, though!
