08446931682 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08446931682 👆 is reported as a suspicious or nuisance number frequently appearing on phone bills without users placing calls. Many elderly or vulnerable customers, often with dementia or using careline devices, have been charged for calls they did not make, with providers sometimes unable or unwilling to block it effectively. The number is associated with premium rate or non-geographic calls causing significant unexpected charges. In several instances, call blockers fail to prevent billing for these calls. Customers are advised to closely monitor their bills, report unauthorised charges to their provider, request blocking of the number, and consider escalating complaints if unresolved. This issue appears to exploit vulnerable users and highlights the need for greater telecom safeguards and consumer protection.

I keep seeing this number pop up on my phone bill, like 50 to 60 times every month. I’ve never called it myself. Does anyone know what I’m supposed to do about this?

Something quite like what others have said happened here too. My stepdad who’s 96 has a BT phone bill showing this number popping up a couple of times daily, at all sorts of weird hours, even really late at night. He definitely isn’t the one dialing out. The only thing plugged into his line is an emergency alarm button, no internet or anything else. I’m currently checking with BT to see if that could explain why these calls keep appearing.

I keep seeing this number pop up on my phone account, and it's been showing as calling me about 25 times, even though I never dialled it myself.

So, my mother in law just found out she's been racking up loads of charges on her BT bill because her Care Line's been hacked. She never actually dialled this premium number herself; the calls were just being made without her knowing. It's crazy! BT really need to sort this out and block that number so it doesn’t keep happening.

For weeks now, my phone bill from BT indicates calls made to this number at odd hours, each lasting about 16 seconds. I’ve contacted BT about it and they confirmed no issues with my line. They’ve blocked the 0844 number and promised a refund for the costs. Despite this, my call blocker doesn’t stop these calls and they keep showing up on my bill. It’s obvious there’s something wrong with the system somewhere - how do I get this sorted?

My uncle's phone bill has had this number showing up for several months now. He was recently in hospital, so the house has been empty, but the charges popped up yet again last month after I got a refund. I just don’t understand how that's possible?

Each month, this number appears on my phone bill, showing calls from me every Wednesday afternoon. I got in touch with my phone company, and they told me it’s linked to panic alarms used by elderly people to call for help if they fall at home. I spoke to the home help service, but they had no clue about the number or calls. When I rang my phone provider again, they advised me to block premium numbers, which I’ve done, but I’m definitely not the one making these calls. On my bill, the charge is listed as ‘non-geographic’.

My 94 year old mum keeps getting calls from this number, and it's showing up on her BT phone bill. We've asked BT a few times to block it, but they haven’t been much use. It ended up costing her more than £15 just this month.

I noticed this number showing up on my phone statement even though I’ve never dialled it. After seeing someone else mentioning it, I reckon it might be Amara. I was searching online for a present and found their site, but never made a purchase or called that number, nor did I hand it out. So how did they end up with my number if it was supposed to be a reverse call?

My mum who’s 87 has been getting calls from this number all hours, day and night. I think I’ll have to reach out to TalkTalk to see if they can help fix this.

My 97 year old mum spotted this number on her phone bill but has no idea how she could have called some sort of ‘service number’. Tried getting help from BT but they’ve been pretty useless about it. It honestly feels like they’re targeting vulnerable folks. I do double check her statements when I can, but I can’t watch over everything all the time. If this keeps happening, I’ll have to find a different phone provider, not staying with BT.

My 85 year old uncle keeps getting calls from this number and its been going on for several months now. He's got dementia, and I only just found out about it. Virgin are claiming he’s the one who made the calls and are billing him for them, which can't be right.

I've had my CPR Call Blocker intercept this number three times now, yet I've still ended up with charges on my phone bill every single time. Each instance, the call log on my blocker displayed this number along with a peculiar code - 06000000032619, which I suspect could be causing the fees to reverse back onto me. I've reached out to BT on two separate occasions regarding the issue, but to no avail. On my third attempt, I escalated the matter to the Information Commissioner's Office. I'd strongly recommend anyone receiving calls from this number to double-check their phone bills!

On the 17th of Feb 15, I noticed this number tried ringing me but my call blocker stopped it straight away. I looked it up and found out it was just one of those annoying spam calls. I never called them back, yet strangely enough, this number showed up on my BT phone bill. I'm planning to contact BT about this because it really worries me that stuff like this can happen.

I was on my phone last night but had it on silent, so when this number rang, I didn’t notice.

I received a call from this number, but the caller didn’t bother to leave a voicemail. Rather mysterious, I'd say!
