Reports on phone number 118888
5 yearsI had two calls charged at £10 each, and my mobile credit just vanished. Seems like they're draining your balance without you realising. Watch out for this!8 yearsI rang 118888 on 19th April 2019 and the call lasted about 2 minutes 38 seconds, from mainland UK. Then, on my phone bill dated 23rd April 2019, I spotted a charge of £17.70 for that call. It’s ridiculous how expensive it was, especially since there was no clear info beforehand about how much it would cost. That works out at about 11p per second or £6.74 per minute - total daylight robbery if you ask me!8 yearsTotally overpriced - I got billed £10.26 for a call that barely lasted 1 minute and 44 seconds. Complete scam if you ask me!8 yearsAvoid calling 118 888, it’s a total rip off!8 yearsGot charged £9.53 by Vodafone for a call I never even made to a dodgy number, and it supposedly lasted 17 seconds! No ring, no warning, just took the money. Ridiculous.Vodafone8 yearsI've found a charge on my BT bill for £37.06 linked to a 7-minute call to 118888, which supposedly took place around 11:31 on 25th April. As far as I can remember, I didn’t make that call at all.9 yearsGot hit with a £50.34 bill for just 5 minutes on the phone. Absolutely shocking!9 yearsI’m based on Oahu, Hawaii and this number keeps ringing me nearly every week, sometimes a few times. I always ignore it, never pick up. Seeing what others have shared here makes me glad I’ve stayed clear. Huge thanks to everyone sharing their stories - it’s a real lifesaver for folks trying to avoid wasting cash and trouble.HawaiiOahu10 yearsJust 44 seconds and it drained £6.25 from me! Ridiculous.11 yearsJust looked over my phone bill and noticed a charge for a call to 118 888, supposedly made on a Monday around lunch. The thing is, I never dial that number, and I’m at work all Monday long, so how’s that possible? Very weird!11 yearsThis number rang me for about 3 minutes and racked up an £8 charge. No idea why they were calling me tho.12 yearsI dialed 118888 when I was feeling really sick, but they never even picked up. Now I've been slapped with a £72 bill! I honestly have no idea what to do - there's no way I can afford to pay that much. Has anyone else had this happen?13 yearsI found that when you look up 118888, it turns out to be linked to OFSTED, which is a service for checking the credentials of childminders. Quite useful for those wanting to ensure they’re leaving their little ones in safe hands!Submit Your Own Report (118888)
