10 yearsThe other day, I received a call from this number.11 yearsThe other day, my mum received a rather questionable call from a company claiming to be Telecom Protection Services. Their pitch was about some gadget promising to stop nuisance calls-rather reminiscent of the genuine Telephone Preference Service, if you ask me. They assured her that this device would be with her in just three days, and it would only set her back 50 pence a week. However, in a rather sneaky twist, she ended up believing she was setting up a weekly direct debit, only to discover that they'd swindled her out of a hefty sum all at once for three years upfront, and there’s no getting that money back. Trading Standards were very intrigued when I reported this-so if you happen to receive a call from this number, exercise extreme caution!Telecom Protection Services12 yearsI had something similar the other day, some bloke calling about a gadget to block annoying calls, said it’d only cost like 60p a week. Seemed legit at first but I wasn’t convinced. Pretty sure it was one of those scams.Pretty12 yearsToday, my dad got a call from someone pretending to be the Telephone Preference Service, but they called themselves the Telecom Protection Service. They tried to charge him £79.99 for some device to block nuisance calls. Unfortunately, he got tricked into paying the £79.99. He really should have caught on, but they were quite persuasive. We ended up cancelling his debit card just to be safe. Mind you, Dad was already signed up with the official TPS.Telephone Preference ServiceTelecom Protection ServiceTPS12 yearsI couldn’t stop laughing at how it all went down. I kept throwing all sorts of questions at them, just endless stuff. They really had to sweat with their sales spiel. Then I rattled off about 30 made-up credit card digits just for fun. After chatting for nearly an hour, they finally threw in the towel. Honestly, no idea what made them quit, lol!13 yearsAbout three weeks back, I gave my father-in-law a box but it wouldn't work since it required an extra cable to connect properly. I rang up and was assured the cable would be sent the same day but it still hasn't arrived. Now he’s stuck with a box he can't even use!13 yearsLike loads of others who got called by this firm, I assumed they were connected to BT because the woman on the phone said as much when I asked directly. Even though I’m on the TPS list, I keep getting those annoying calls from someone claiming to be Michael, with a strong Indian accent. I asked if it would cost me anything, and when I said no thanks, she just hung up, which I thought was fair enough. A mate of mine ended up giving them her bank details and has had £100 taken from her account. She returned the box and refused to accept it from the delivery driver. The company said they’d sent her a cheque, but she’s never received it. When she called back, they told her they’d cancel the original cheque and send out a new one. So far, she’s still waiting.BTTelephone Preference ServiceMichael13 yearsI recently received a call from this number and the connection was rather awful. It raised a few eyebrows, so I told them to ring me again next week. After seeing the other comments, it appears that Trading Standards might want to take a closer look at these folks. Curious, isn’t it?Trading Standards13 yearsI was under the impression that this was a genuine BT matter and, as a result, they deducted a lump sum from my account. They’ve been absolutely awful at returning my calls, and ultimately, they reached out to BT themselves, managed to set up caller ID, and somehow enrolled me into a year-long contract with BT. It’s honestly infuriating to think how naïve I was to share my details with them.BT13 yearsThey made me think they were somehow linked to BT, and even sent a box, but I couldn’t get it to work properly. They told me an engineer would get in touch, but I’m still waiting. I called them at least ten times, and each time they asked for my date of birth, so naively, I gave it. Turns out they used that info to contact BT and set up caller ID, which ended up locking me into a BT contract for an extra year! I'm still trying to sort this mess with them and refused to back down. I just phoned them to ask what gave them the right to do this, and they said they’d call me back by 11am. Well, it’s 11 now and still no call. Honestly, what a nightmare. I’m seriously thinking about disconnecting my phone so I don’t get any more of their calls.BT13 yearsI got a phonecall from someone claiming to be with TPS, asking about how many annoying calls I get. They said they’d send me a gadget to connect to my landline for £79.99. Absolutely no chance I’d hand over my card info like that! Plus, why would I pay when loads of websites offer that stuff for free? Complete rip-off if you ask me. I’ve already reported them to the genuine TPS.Telephone Preference Service13 yearsHad a chat with this bloke named Asher, proper nice guy and really calm to talk with. He gave me all the details I was looking for, which made the whole thing way easier. Since I got this call blocker sorted, I honestly haven’t had a single annoying call. For anyone wondering if this is some kind of scam - it’s definitely not. Big thanks to the telecom protection lads for sorting me out!AsherTelecom Protection Service13 yearsIt's definitely not a scam, I actually completed the sign-up and it all seemed completely genuine to me.13 yearsIts still happening...after loads of annoying calls over the past few weeks, i finally answered one. The person on the line said something like "we've had a big amount of nuisance calls reported from your postcode area." Sounds believable enough... just watch out for these shady callers!13 yearsSimilar to what others have mentioned, it all sounded pretty believable at first. But then he claimed he didn’t need my bank or sort code details and instead asked for my Mastercard number and the three digits on the back. As soon as I told him there’s no way I’d share that info, he just ended the call.13 yearsHad almost the exact same call from someone named ‘Kerry’. She said it was just 50p a week for three years. When I asked for the website, she gave me www.telcompreferenceservice.co.uk. Then I straight up asked if they were BT and she said they ‘work closely with BT’. Yeah, right!KerryBT13 yearsGot a bloke on the phone named 'Alex' the other day, said he could block all my annoying calls from around the UK, and for just 50p a week, he’d also stop calls coming from abroad. He said he'd sign me up on some register but the moment I told him I wasn’t interested in joining any register, he just dropped the call right away. What a cheek!AlexUK13 yearsI got a call from a woman who sounded quite legit, she gave me her name and a number to contact her again. She mentioned she'd heard about all the nuisance calls I’ve been getting and said she could stop them for £70. Has anyone else come across this? Is it for real?Submit Your Own Report (0871 989 1414)
