08717050155 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08717050155 👆 is reported as a persistent nuisance originating from a call centre, often with an Asian accent, repeatedly contacting individuals about non-existent accidents. Despite many being registered with the Telephone Preference Service, calls continue relentlessly, including silent, hang-up, and abusive incidents. The number appears linked to pushy personal injury claim solicitations, targeting both private individuals and businesses, causing significant distress especially among the elderly. Attempts to engage often lead to abrupt disconnections or no response, raising suspicions of a scam or premium rate fraud. A number of users advise blocking the number and caution against returning calls, as this may incur charges. Complaints to regulatory bodies like Ofcom and TPS have been made, but the calls persist, prompting calls for stricter action against these intrusive and unprofessional practices.

Got a call from a guy with an Asian accent who wanted to know if I’d been in any accidents over the past couple of years. I told him no, and then he asked if anyone else living with me had any accidents. I said no again, and then he just ended the call. I've gone ahead and blocked the number on my home phone now.

Gave them a ring, but I've now put this number on my blocked list.

I got a call from a man who sounded Asian asking me questions about some accident. I've already submitted a complaint through the telephone preference service. If more people report these pests, maybe we can actually get them in trouble by the law.

I’ve been getting calls repeatedly from a guy who sounds like he’s got an Indian or Pakistani accent. He keeps asking about a car accident I supposedly had recently. I told him straight up that, according to UK regulations, he must remove my number from his list. After that, he just ended the call. Just so you know, my number hasn’t been public for quite a long time now.

I just got a call from a bloke who definitely wasn't English, sounded more like he was from India or somewhere nearby. He asked me if I’d been in an accident. As soon as I mentioned that his English was really hard to understand, he just ended the call.

I can't believe how persistent this phone number has been! It’s been ringing an elderly care home a staggering ten times in just twenty minutes. Absolutely appalling behaviour!

At my job, we keep getting calls from these sorts of numbers on our customer support. The moment we say our usual greeting, the caller just hangs up. Looks like they’re just dialing completely at random.

In the past five minutes, I’ve gotten about 40 calls all asking if we’d been in an accident. We’re actually a personal injury law firm, so it’s pretty ironic. What’s worse, whenever I hang up, they ring straight back!

I’m on the TPS list too but still get loads of these annoying calls every day, sometimes a couple in one day! It really makes me wonder what the point of TPS is. I’ve even had to change my number and now only share it with close family to avoid the hassle.

I received a call from 0871 705 0155, but they didn’t bother to leave a voicemail. Quite curious, don’t you think?

Got a call from some bloke called "Sean" about an accident apparently involving me. I played along, mentioning how much it hurt and said it happened only five minutes ago. He then wanted to know how the accident occurred, so I told him some car had just ran me over and I'm still on the ground hurting. Out of nowhere he just ended the call. Bit odd, and pretty rude of him not to let me carry on wasting his time over an accident that never actually took place.

I swear, this guy just giggled and then ended the call! What’s the deal with BT these days? You’d think they’d get that people can just block numbers on our mobiles now. If they keep ignoring these nuisance calls, no wonder folks are leaving their service.

This number 08717050155 called asking if I’d been in any accidents over the past couple of years. Seems like they’re probably working with some kind of lawyer, hoping to rope you into making a claim. We’ve had our number on the Telephone Preference Service list for yonks, but honestly it doesn’t stop them - I’m getting calls from folks like this about once a month now, it’s getting pretty annoying.

I received a rather annoying silent call earlier this afternoon, and when I checked, the number popped up after dialling 1471. Despite being registered with the Telephone Preference Service like so many others, it seems that some of these pesky calls still manage to slip through the cracks.

Got a call from a bloke with an Asian accent, said he wanted to chat about a car crash I supposedly was involved in. Didn’t even bother asking for me by name, just jumped straight in. Told him he must have dialled the wrong number and ended the call quick smart. What a pain!

Got a call earlier from a bloke with a strong Asian accent who claimed he wanted to discuss a car crash I supposedly was involved in. I told him he’d got the wrong number and just ended the call. He didn’t even bother to ask for me by my name or anything. Such a pointless annoyance.

Got a call from this number, and the person on the line said I’d been in a car crash. Thing is, I haven’t had any accidents! So, I jokingly told the caller - who had an Asian accent - that I’d actually been in three, and the last one landed me three years inside. He asked if that was the one he was calling about. I then gave him Crime Stoppers' phone number and, not long after, he just ended the call.

Got a call from a bloke with an Asian accent, the line was terrible. He claimed there’d been a car crash I was involved in. I told him to get lost and mentioned how folks in the UK are sick of these annoying calls. Then he had the nerve to just hang up on me!

Just a heads up to anyone getting calls from this number - don’t ring it back, it’s one of those pricey premium rate lines. Thankfully, my t#### device flagged it right away as a premium call. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number on my t#### now. Honestly, that gadget is the best thing I’ve ever bought.

i've been on the tps list for ages, yet still get random calls like this one. there was a pause of a few seconds before some bloke called "sean" said hi and asked how i was doing. i just replied asking who he was, then suddenly the call ended. seriously, why doesn't ofcom crack down on these scammers?

A lady rang me up claiming she was inquiring about car crashes and insurance claims. When I pressed her for her identity, she introduced herself as Anisha. Curiosity got the better of me, so I asked how she had obtained my number, and just like that, she cut the call! I've since flagged her to the Telephone Preference Service for their records. - caller: Anisha

Some bloke rang me sayin he wanted to chat about a car crash. The moment I asked where he got my number from, and how it happened, he just slammed the phone down. My number's unlisted and I’m on the TPS too, so that was suspicious.

These individuals keep calling our elderly mother, who’s 85, every single day. The moment we answer and take the phone away from her, they immediately hang up. What’s the best way to put an end to this nuisance?
