Phone number ☎️ 08451479842 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance, frequently calling multiple times daily on both landlines and mobiles, often during inconvenient hours. Callers typically claim to be from RAC or related companies, offering insurance or upgraded services, but requests for bank details raise concerns of potential scams or phishing attempts. Many recipients are sceptical due to aggressive sales tactics, lack of verification of membership numbers, and discrepancies in caller identity, sometimes involving foreign accents or unclear company affiliations. Vulnerable groups, such as disabled or elderly individuals, find these calls particularly distressing. While not necessarily fraudulent, the calls are widely regarded as intrusive cold calls exploiting RAC customer information. Blocking the number is a common response advised to minimise disruption.

11 yearsI found myself not leaving any message at all.11 yearsGive me a call on my landline today because someone tried to sell me insurance, thinking I was a customer of RAC breakdown, who I actually am. As she was reading her script to me, I started searching for the phone number she called me from on Google. To my surprise, I realized it was the same number that had called me earlier in the day, even before she mentioned it. The offer she was presenting seemed incredibly tempting, but at the same time, too good to be true. I became skeptical when she started pressuring me for my bank details, so I immediately decided not to provide them. Unfortunately, she managed to obtain the first two digits, but that's when I decided to abruptly end the call.RACGoogle11 yearsThey can be such a bother.11 yearsThese individuals really irritate you.11 yearsI find it highly irritating when someone calls late at night, especially at 8.45. It becomes even more bothersome when you answer the call, only to be met with silence. I have grown tired of experiencing this repeatedly.11 yearsI received two calls on my mobile phone. After the first call, I added the number to my blocked list, so I didn't get disturbed by the second call. I chose not to answer the first call because 0845 numbers usually involve aggressive sales tactics.12 yearsI receive phone calls quite frequently - at least once a day on both my landline and mobile phone. However, I have a tendency to not answer any of these calls unless I recognize the number or I am anticipating a specific call.12 yearsCould you kindly refrain from making any more phone calls to me? Additionally, I'm rather curious as to how you obtained my phone number.12 yearsI am receiving an excessive number of these calls, and I kindly request that they cease.12 yearsDo you ever receive calls from Scottish Power every day, but choose not to answer them?Scottish Power12 yearsI have been receiving persistent calls from this particular number for several weeks now. Being a disabled pensioner, it is quite challenging for me to promptly reach the telephone.12 yearsOur telephone rings multiple times throughout the day, which suggests that our answering machine must be quite intriguing. However, it is peculiar that no one ever communicates with it.12 yearsAs the RAC is now under hedge fund ownership, members can expect to face increased financial pressures. If you are a member of the RAC, this call is most likely from First Assist attempting to sell unnecessary insurance products. They obtained your contact information from the RAC, but your membership number holds no relevance to them. Although not technically fraudulent, they engage in aggressive telemarketing and aggressive selling tactics for insurance.RACFirst Assist12 yearsI received a call from a foreign man who stated that he was contacting me on behalf of a company (I couldn't quite catch the name) acting on behalf of the RAC. Surprisingly, he asked for my partner by name, indicating that someone has shared my partner's name and home phone number with him. During our conversation, the call abruptly ended. Strangely, the caller did not attempt to reconnect. I intend to report this incident to the RAC as well.RAC12 yearsI keep receiving repeated calls from a number, offering me an upgraded service and pretending to be from the RAC. However, I already have the highest level of cover with the RAC, so I'm certain that this is a fraudulent attempt.RAC12 yearsA call I received purported to be from the RAC, claiming to offer an upgraded service. However, as soon as they asked for my bank details and couldn't provide my membership number, I grew skeptical. After all, they had contacted me with an 'exclusive offer for members only.' To err on the side of caution, I ended the call as I believe it may have been a phishing scam.RAC12 yearsImmediately disregard the hoax call.13 yearsI received a recorded message asking me to leave my name and number so they could call me back, even though they had just called me!13 yearsI suspect that I might be involved in a fraudulent encounter claimed to be orchestrated by Scottish Power. This is highly unlikely, as I have never had any prior associations or dealings with this particular company.Scottish PowerSubmit Your Own Report (0845 147 9842)
