A caller claiming to be from Money Expert said they wanted to find me the best energy‑bill deal. After a 20‑minute chat, I mentioned needing family approval; they tried to schedule a callback, so I hung up. I later used who-called.co.uk to identify and block the number.
Currys Call Push: Broadband Scam? - +44 330 828 8196 (0330 828 8196)
Sumar — +443308288196
Opinia expertului
Like weeds sprouting in an untended garden, unsolicited calls from this number pop up with persistent claims from various sources, leaving recipients wary. Reports highlight aggressive tactics, including name-dropping Currys or Money Expert to push broadband deals, energy savings, or even prize wins from competitions you might not recall entering. The pushiness—rinsing back despite rejections—and access to personal details like names suggest data sharing issues, possibly from old entries or leaks. Block the number immediately via your phone settings to curb harassment. For data protection, register with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) to reduce such intrusions. If details feel off, report to Action Fraud; never share sensitive info over unsolicited lines.

Overly aggressive, now blocked.
They pretended to be from Curry’s; I ignored the calls but they kept ringing. I only recognized it as Curry’s after calling the number back.
Someone claimed to represent Currys and tried to push broadband onto me; after I refused multiple times, he hung up. I called back to confront him, and Claude answered, already knowing my name. When I pressed about his colleague, he said the system flagged my name after I entered a competition to win an iPhone.
Apparently they recognized my name and claimed I’d won a Visa competition prize.
When I picked up, they immediately cut the line—no explanation provided.
After returning the call, I discovered it was Currys; I blocked them since I've never shopped there and my number changed years ago.
