Reports on phone number 08446661098
9 yearsI’ve been attempting to ring my son’s mobile, but whenever I try, it just tells me to ring a different number. When I dial that one, there’s a message recorded saying 'test successful'. Even after that, I still can’t connect to my son’s phone. Is this some kind of call blocker or am I missing something?9 yearsI attempted to call the customer support of a well-known firm, but got hit with an automated message telling me to call 08446661098 instead. I was a bit shocked that they moved to a premium number, but I needed to get through to them anyway. When I rang that number, a recorded voice announced, “your test call was successful.” It’s clearly a sneaky way to make cash by tricking people. The clever part is you don’t realise you’ve been scammed until it’s already done.9 yearsGot a call from my in-laws who told me to ring this number, but I didn’t bother and now I’m pretty sure it’s a scam!9 yearsI kept trying to ring my mum and dad several times today, but each call got 'intercepted'. The message said their number wasn’t taking calls and asked me to ring 0844 6661098 instead. Don’t know who that belongs to, but it looks like someone’s blocking or redirecting their phone somehow?! I’ve already told both phone companies about it.9 yearsI rang a number for a nearby car parts shop, but the call got redirected and I was told to call 08446661098. When I dialled that, an automated voice came on saying "Test call complete". Not sure what kind of scam this is yet, really puzzled. Has anyone else come across this or know what it’s about?9 yearsSo, I rang up MediaTemple's support team, coz I had some issue with my web hosting. Instead of speaking to a person, I got this robotic voice saying I should ring 08446661098. When I did, I just heard a message saying the ‘test call was successful’ and to end the call. Bit weird, not sure if I got the right place!MediaTemple9 yearsI rang the local council but got passed onto 08446661098 instead. They said the test call worked fine and I should just end the call. Strange experience!9 yearsToday, my mum got caught out by a scammer using this very number when she was dialing to reach my sister, who’s got the 01594 area code.9 yearsAbsolutely a scam, best to just ignore any calls from this number.9 yearsI had a call from 01290765291 claiming to be TalkTalk, but the bloke on the other end had quite a thick accent, made it hard to understand him. Then he just hung up. So, I tried calling back that number and ended up getting an automated message which told me to ring 08446661098. When I called that one, some recorded message said something like ‘test successful’. I’ve let TalkTalk know about the whole thing now.TalkTalk10 yearsI rang the office and got a message telling me to call 0844 6661098 instead. When I called that number, I got told "this is a test call please hang up." After that, a message came saying "test call successful." I then tried our office number again and got through right away.10 yearsI've been trying to get hold of my mate, but this number keeps cutting me off every time I call.10 yearsMy mate's been trying to ring me, but every time she calls, a message pops up saying she should phone 08446661098 instead. I just use a basic mobile, not even a smartphone or anything fancy. Could someone have taken over my phone or something? I’m still gettin’ my texts no problem though.10 yearsBeen trying to reach AMOMA.COM about a hotel reservation with no luck. Got their phone number from a rep at TRIVAGO (+44 20 3608 8169), but when I call it, I get redirected to ring 08446661098 instead. Didn’t call that number though, felt dodgy and maybe a scam. Still struggling to get through to AMOMA.COM, which is really frustrating.AMOMA. COMTRIVAGO10 yearsI called this number on 20/2/2017 and it turned out to be a scam. They charge you 5p per minute, so watch out! Total rip off.10 yearsI was trying to ring my dad, who’s 89, but this number kept cutting in instead. It’s clearly some sort of scam. I got really worried since my dad never got my call, and I started thinking something bad had happened to him. Whoever owns this number should be tracked and shut down.10 yearsI kept ringing my brother but every time a robo message came on, telling me to call 08446661098 instead. When I did, all I got was a recorded voice saying “line test successful.” Feels like a total con to me - probably one of those scams where they make a bit of money every time the number gets dialed. Seriously, avoid calling it!10 yearsThey ring me non-stop every single day, but I just don’t pick up. When I tried calling back, it directed me to some other number that apparently charges you if you dial it. Total waste of time.10 yearsSo what happens is, you call a number and it tells you to phone another one as some kind of check. When you dial that second line, it plays a message like "test complete" or something similar. After that, if you call the first number again, you're able to get through. I guess it's meant to help block spam calls, which is a smart idea in theory, but the way they've done it feels a bit bungled.10 yearswhenever I try calling New Zealand, this number always picks up and my call wont go through properly. it's really frustrating!New Zealand10 yearsI was trying to reach a customer and got this number pop up telling me to call it. Did what others mentioned and made a test call, it went through fine. But when I went back to call the client, it wouldn’t connect. Pretty strange!10 yearsI keep receiving calls from a number that looks local, but the rest of it seems quite odd. When I attempted to return the call, I was met with a pre-recorded message instructing me to call 08446661098. It feels like yet another sneaky tactic to lure people in by masquerading as if they're from the area.10 yearsSomeone told me to ring this number, and when I did, it just said “thank you for calling.” Looks like it was some sort of test call.11 yearsIf you forget to include the first "0" when dialling, it seems this number pops up quite a bit as the one you actually called by mistake. Happens a lot when people mis-dial.11 yearsI kept ringing a plumber on an 01525 line but the first three calls got taken by a 08446661098 number before I finally got through on the fourth try.11 yearsI had a similar experience! Dialled a local number, only to be instructed to call this one. Seemed legitimate at first, so I went ahead and rang. They told me it was just a test call before abruptly ending the conversation. Quite odd, really!11 yearsSomeone phoned our office and got a voicemail saying "this is a test call, please ring 0844 6661098." When they called that number, they heard "test call successful." I tried calling our office myself and it connected right away. I've alerted our phone system technician about it.11 yearsI was referred to this number by my local hospital. When I called, it just rang and then prompted me to disconnect the call. I dialled the actual hospital's number again, and thankfully, I managed to connect with them without a hitch. Quite strange, isn't it? Could there be any negative repercussions from this?11 yearsEvery time I try to book a hospital appointment, I get redirected to this number. It's really annoying. Does anyone know how to make it stop?11 yearsIs this some kind of scam or what?11 yearsI tried ringing 01964612506 but ended up getting caught by a scam instead.11 yearsThis morning, I called a number in Worcester thinking it was a mobile, but then they told me to ring another one instead. I didn’t really notice at first, but then I got a recorded message telling me to just hang up. Bit strange, to be honest.Worcester11 yearsI rang a nearby garage but accidentally asked for a dial instead of a quote.11 yearsI tried ringing my usual garage again but on their landline this time since the mobile kept dropping out. They asked me to phone 08446661098 instead. Felt a bit iffy but figured maybe it’s a new contact? Then they said "test call complete" which freaked me out - it really felt like getting scammed by some dodgy phone thieves!11 yearsI called a number I've dialled loads before, but weirdly got a message telling me to ring a different number. That seemed odd, so I checked with the person I normally speak to, and they had no clue about any of it. So yeah, i'd say avoid calling that number.11 yearsI tried calling a certain number but ended up getting redirected twice, which was a total waste of my time. I checked with the original number to see if they were aware, but they had no clue. Pretty clear this was a scam in action.11 yearsI dialled a local number and got redirected by an automated voice to ring another number. Figured maybe the place changed their contact details so I called it. Then an automated message came on saying 'your test call has been completed, please end the call'. I tried the original number once more and it connected perfectly, so I guess the first call was intercepted. Don't bother calling that number though - it does charge you. Nothing huge, I was charged 24p, but it’s definitely a scam. I reckon they rake in quite a bit since it sounds pretty convincing.12 yearsI was tryin to get through to an offshore bank, but the voicemail redirected me to a different number. When I called that one, all it said was "your test call is complete, please hang up". Feels a bit dodgy, like it might be some kind of scam, or maybe just a wrong number? Anyone else had this happen?12 yearsWhen you ring the client in Ibstock, please make sure to mention that they should call the above number: 01530261719. Cheers, Jw.Ibstock12 yearsTonight my mate tried to get through to me but ended up being put through to that number instead. She called it back and, just like someone else mentioned, she managed to get connected on her second try. I’m definitely going to contact my phone company about this to see what’s going on.12 yearsI picked up a £5 UK and International phonecard from the Post Office. When I tried to ring the USA for the first time, after putting in all the numbers including the US one, it kept asking me to enter my PIN even though I’d already done it multiple times. Then I kept hearing a message telling me to call this number 08446661098 on repeat. The call to the US never connected, but I still got charged for it! Eventually, I hung up and started the whole process again from scratch, and this time the call actually went through without any problems or prompts about that 0844 number.UKPost OfficeUSASubmit Your Own Report (0844 666 1098)
