08450568034

I'm quite troubled by the number mentioned above, which seems to be popping up on my bill three times a month. Each time, it shows a call duration of 22 seconds, but I've got no recollection of making any such call. I've reached out to my telephone provider, Talk Talk, but they’ve informed me that they can't block this number. It's perplexing that I can't set a block on my phone because it appears as an outgoing call. It seems to be linked to the Vodafone network. Can anyone suggest how I might put an end to this ongoing irritation?

Had a right dodgy experience with the number 08450568034. It was some chap from India going on about internet services, but it just reeked of a scam. Best to ignore - typical prankster trying to pull a fast one!

My elderly mother-in-law, who's 90, has just received a bill for £17 for a call that lasted nearly two hours! She only activated her neck alarm once because she was in need of assistance. I'm baffled as to why she’s facing such hefty charges for that. What on earth is going on?

I've found that this number has popped up on my phone bill time and again over the last twelve months, yet I can't recall ever placing those calls. Being a 68-year-old, I was quite surprised to see that many remarks regarding this number predominantly feature the older generation. When I approached my landline provider, Talktalk, regarding what seemed to be a dubious call, they inquired whether I had an alarm system installed at home. At that moment, it dawned on me-I do have one! It's my emergency alarm pendant that connects to a call centre when I need assistance, like getting an ambulance. They advise conducting a monthly test. Given that I'm solely activating the pendant and not actually dialling a number, I'd completely forgotten that it indeed makes a call automatically, which would naturally show up on my bill later. What reinforced my theory was the fact that the sticker on my alarm's main unit bore a phone number strikingly similar to this one, differing by just one digit-it's got a '5' at the end instead of a '4'. When I called the number, they were able to pull up all the dates and times of the calls my base unit had made to 08450568034 since I'd set up the system a year back. Problem solved! Additionally, it’s noteworthy that the pendant can sometimes be activated accidentally-for instance, if you wear it to bed, which I experienced once myself. However, I find that the costs attributed to such false alarms (or incidents stemming from slight confusion) are fairly minimal. Therefore, I believe it would be counterproductive to discourage an elderly relative from ‘overusing’ their alarm. If they truly require help, they might not have it at hand, which rather defeats the whole point of having the alarm system in the first place. Hopefully, my experience and reflections will offer some peace of mind to others in similar situations or their families.

My elderly mother, who is now 90 years young, has received a staggering 12 service charge bills linked to this number as well as 08450568035. One has racked up a charge of 53p, whilst the other has added 26p to her bill.

Despite having Call Guardian set up-which is meant to intercept unwanted calls and respond with a firm “go away”-the mere fact that the calls are answered still results in charges.

I've already contacted the phone provider to gather information regarding the total number of calls, when they began, and the cumulative cost from both numbers. Once I have all the necessary details, I'll be reaching out to Action Fraud to lodge a formal complaint.

It appears to be a standard call that happens every day.

My elderly and confused aunt has managed to call this number, 084505668034, a staggering 29 times over the past six weeks. It's listed as a "service number," but I’m left scratching my head at who they actually are. Has anyone got any insight on this?

My elderly mother, who’s 90, finds herself in a bit of a pickle with constant phone calls at various times throughout the day. It seems that her Fall Alert device has been triggering unexpectedly. I rang the main office using a traditional landline, and they verified that the monitors are linked to the number 0845 0568034. Sadly, since it’s the weekend, I’ll have to sit tight until their office reopens at 08:30 on Monday to pursue this any further.

My phone statement suggests that a call was made to that number. Yet, after browsing through various reviews, I've noticed a pattern: the phone rings, someone answers, but you’re met with utter silence. Meanwhile, the unfortunate recipient gets billed for it! This sheds light on why my poor elderly mother-in-law has racked up an extra £15 on her telephone bill. She certainly didn’t initiate all those calls; most of them occurred during the wee hours!

My elderly mother, who suffers from dementia, keeps ringing this number quite often. I'm at a bit of a loss trying to discover who’s behind it.

I've been inundated with calls from this number lately, and it's really quite frustrating. Whenever I pick up, they just hang up without saying a word. To make matters worse, my phone bill that arrived today reveals that I've apparently been the one calling them, racking up a total charge of 19p. In just a week, it's added up to £3.56! What a nuisance!

As soon as we answered, there was complete silence on the other end.

Could someone shed light on whose number this might be? My dad has been trying to get in touch with it numerous times but hasn’t got a clue about the owner.
