Astonishingly, this number appears tied to a ragtag crew of unsolicited callers, from abusive accident scammers hurling expletives to persistent sales hounds pushing loft insulation and window upgrades. Victims report a pattern of harassment: repeated calls despite requests to stop, vague voicemail lures about 'exciting offers' from unnamed brands, and even clickbait tactics for quick payouts. Data protection rules under GDPR entitle you to demand they cease contacting you—simply state your objection clearly on the line or via email if identifiable. Register with the Telephone Preference Service to slash such nuisances, and log every incident with Ofcom for potential action. If abuse escalates, report to police without delay; blocking the number is a quick fix, but they often switch lines.
I got a call about a non‑existent car accident; after I told the operator I was a pedestrian, they responded with repeated abuse like “F**k you B***h”. I hung up immediately.
A window company has called eight times, each from a slightly different number. Even after politely asking them to delete our number from their list, the calls continued and have now turned increasingly rude.
A bloke named Ben used this number, claiming to be a ####, and switches numbers each time. He tries to discuss loft insulation, opening the call by persuading the recipient about a free energy survey. Calls occur at least weekly. I suspect he employs click‑bait tech that pays him a small fee per pick‑up and a larger one if someone accepts his offer.
A landline call came from an unknown source; I didn't recognise the number and let it go to voicemail. The message said, 'on behalf of several renowned brands, call us back for exciting offers.' Two women and two men used the same script, never naming the company, and have called from Plymouth, Durham, Nottingham, and now Portsmouth.
