This morning, I recieved multiple calls from this number to a TPS blocked numbre
Upon answering, the caller was silent, leading me to suspect another scam call, which I've been receiving frequently lately.
A scam about utility bills from the indian food lovers
The caller hung up as soon as i answer the phone, it was a bit suspicious
Clearly a scammer, this number is sending unsolictied junk and dont wanna waste my time to figure it out.
When i picked up, there was silence for a few secounds, then they hung up, i suspect it was a broken autodialer scammer, which is quite annoying
This number appears unsafe; possibly a utility scam.
Below is my confirmation. Unsolicited calls are not something I engage with, so I let it go to voicemail. The message was left by someone with a foreign accent, likely from a busy call center. They provided what appears to be a legitimate number related to utility bills. Alarmingly, the inquiry was about a charity I’m involved with, and my contact information is not widely known outside of the charity, except to regulatory bodies. They must have accessed leaked information or conducted extensive research to find these details.
It appears that IP Voice Networks Ltd, the company that sold this number, primarily deals with scammers, providing them with lists of active numbers to target, including landline and cell phone numbers.
A message was left on my answerphone by a male caller claiming to be Shren, stating that my energy account was up for renewal and requesting a callback; however, the call appeared to be a scam, given the heavy accent and the fact that my energy supplier would not contact me in such a manner.
Jackie called me, asking about nuisance calls, and i think she might be from a company that sold us a call blocking phone, or maybe she was just trying to be clever, i told her the phone was still in its box, which is the truth
WHEN I ANSWER, THEY HANG UP, WHICH IS VERY FRUSTRATING.
such a waste of time, i am blocking it and you should too after reading the comments above.
Repeated calls from 020 8058 2198 result in disconnection upon answering
This call was spam, with someone inquiring about utilities; when asked for specifics, they failed to elaborate and eventually hung up.
I'm not familiar with this number, but it calls me two or three times daily with no one on the line. When I attempt to return the call, it indicates that the call is forbidden.
A man claiming to be Victor offered discounted services to charities, but I declined and asked him not to call again, despite his claim that we had spoken before.
Upon answering, the caller immediately hung up
They attempted to obtain copies of our business utility bills, claiming they could provide better rates. I suspect this is a scheme to acquire bank information.
The caller, who had a thick Asian accent, was difficult to understand and requested utility meter numbers and other details.
