Cold Callers! SPAM Numbers!

October 31, 2006 11:42 pm

If you are reading this post, you probably have just received a call from one of the numbers listed below and wanting to find out who called before calling them back. If that’s the case, I suggest you don’t call the number back. I just receive a call from 01554741237 and guess what, it’s one of those call that ask you if you want to upgrade the phone with them or “we have on our record that you have just upgraded your phone, can you tell us who you upgrade it with?”. Another very common number is 02920368701, a lot of people seems to be getting a call from them.

How to response is up to you! But I would suggest that you don’t go for their plan, from my experience I get the cheapest package from staying with the current provider. And you don’t have to worry about the cheaque back which is likely you will not get in most cases depends which company you bought it from. Hence I have complied a list of numbers that people considered to be spam numbers:

If you have a number to add to the list, feel free to leave a comment. I would like to thanks Blog-Ed which is the site where I get most of these numbers from. Thank you.

Found this page by googling that latest spam I got: 0179246095. These guys are cheeky and if you’re a bit fast to tell them what you think of being annoyed on a regular basis by the same message they call you back again to vomit insults to you and then hang up!!!

How do you stop them calling you??? I keep getting random stupid messages from someone with the number 02920368701.

Vincent Lai wrote a comment on December 6, 2006

I’m having the same problem. I can think of two ways for this, one is tell them nicely that you just upgrade the phone don’t need an upgrade in a year time. Or ask the network provider to ban the number. Hope it helps :).

Another 3 numbers that seems quite common:
01792350023, 01792474700 & 02920368700

Marc wrote a comment on December 7, 2006

01792462095 called again, how cheeky, saying I asked them last time to call me back. When I asked who they are the girl replied her first name and eluded the question, pretending not to understand then hung up. I wonder when that starts to be illegal and we can actually turn to police? My phone provider called them and got back to me advising to register to TPS (08450700707) but no number banning option…

Also my spam of today was 02920368701 again and they claimed to be “communications direct”. If it’s them: communicationsdirect.net then feel free to spam them in return :-)

Mark H wrote a comment on December 7, 2006

Just got my first call from 01792 462095. They told me that my contract expires in a month, when it actually expires September 2007. They just hung up straight away, the rude sods.

I can’t wait to get bombarded with calls, yippee!

I got a call at 12.30 from 01792 462095 today from a polite gentleman who called and said that i was in my last 30 days of my contract would i like an upgrade when i asked if he worked for 02 he said no so i politely advised him that i wasn’t interested and to put a note on the account i was quite happy to stay with o2. less than one hour later i got another call when i asked the guy if he was taking the mick he replied “i’m taking the piss now you f**king northern monkey” i terminated the call and he called back and said nothing. i have tried to ring back but there is now no answer. any idea how i can get this complained about and who too?

Got two of these calls within an hour. One from: 07912350023, which I missed and the 2nd from 02920368701, which I answered but they hung up as soon as I said “Hello?”….
Where do they get the numbers from?! It’s bloody annoying! Got me out of bed at 10am - I’m a student, don’t they know! Sleep is the most important thing to me!

Helma wrote a comment on December 15, 2006

2 missed calls from 01792 462095. They have been phoning me on a weekly basis, and each time i explain i am not interested and if they could stop calling me. It’s annoying when i am in work or putting my child in bed.

Helma wrote a comment on December 15, 2006

I would like to add that to prevent further unwanted marketing calls, register for free at http://www.tpsonline.org.uk/tps/
It takes 28 days, after which you should no longer receive these calls.
Make sure to register ALL your numbers, both mobile as well as land line.

Graeme wrote a comment on December 20, 2006

02920368701 has been calling me since last Friday. I missed the call but called back, after it rang out for ages, I asked why they called and was asked if I had an upgrade in the last 10 months. I said I wasn’t due until February. They said they’d phone back then. I’ve since been called 2/3 times a day since. Genius! Communications direct. wda.co. uk/ resources/ CommsDirect.pdf has the names of the directors of the company. I wonder if they would like to be called over and over again at different times during the day. Also their website are advertising for telesales account executives, and customer “care” advisors. So if anyone wants to be a pain in the @rse for a living, there it is.

John A Thomson wrote a comment on December 21, 2006

Got one of those SPAM calls as well.

Amazing that I’m only a month or so away from my call plan annual renewal! It is almost as if they know my contract is almost up for renewal. Something isn’t quite right with this one.

Thanks for taking the time to compile the list. You saved me worrying about missing the call and even worse phoning them back at my expense.

Chris Pegler wrote a comment on January 9, 2007

Thanks for the useful info. My daughter is being bugged by the 01792462095 callers. There seems little point in requesting the TPS to remove you from marketing lists as some of these companies operate outside of the law. In our case it appears to be a case of targeting customers in the last month of their O2 contract. Any people in a similar position should walk out on O2 and go with someone else as O2 are at fault for leaking data to these people in the first place. Another tip - just use your contact list on the phone to associate that number with a name such as “Tosser from Swansea” and you don’t ever have to talk with them again.

Ningyi Shu wrote a comment on January 10, 2007

A lady called me with a number of 01792637090, asking me the thing regarding “Mobile phone contract”, it’s so strange that it’s not the right time to ask me update mobilehone, since there is 4 months more to go to end the 12 month contract.

When I asked her “Which mobile phone that you refers to?” This woman just said “Bad signal, I cannot hear you ….” then hanged up the phone.

Rubbish!!!

John wrote a comment on January 11, 2007

I have also been getting calls from 01792 462095. I took the tact in the end to abuse the people who called. Eventualy I called the guy on the other line a c**t and when his friend called asking to suck my c**k I said that if he had a copy of my contract in front of him and had my address, he should come and see me and i’ll show him what will happen (the word ice-axe came into the conversation and the use of!!!!). Needless to say, i’ve not been bothered again. Try it and be really calm when you say it, it really does p**s them off. Good luck…

SImon wrote a comment on January 11, 2007

If you contact your phone provider like O2 they have a no cold caller option which stops you getting these calls! You will get the odd few but if you tell them you are part of this plan and they are to remove your number, they will have to as they will be breaking the law otherwise and could be deeply fined or even worse. I have provided several numbers and names to my phone provider! ive stop getting the calls now!

Ed wrote a comment on January 23, 2007

Hi - I work for a (reputable) outbound call centre - and can tell you that these guys are breaking the law. Ofcom regulations state that they have to leave a recorded message, advising how you can unsubscribe if you don’t answer when they call, and if they call and you don’t answer they can’t call again for 72 hours. They also can’t call after 8.30pm in the evenings, or on a Sunday. I suggest anyone who gets a call that breaks these rules logs a complaint with Ofcom - they can face a fine of £50k for every instance of a breach of these regulations. The alternative is to answer each call and simply put them on hold for 5-10 minutes - going back every so often and telling the operator that you’re interested but finishing another call. They will log you as a time-water and not call again - that’s what we do! Good luck everyone.

MrAngry wrote a comment on January 24, 2007

02920368792 are calling me every day - after I told them several times I wasn’t interested months ago. I’m also an O2 customer and will be cancelling my contract when I can. In the meantime I’ve signed up to the Telephone Preference Service so I can formally complain to Ofcom if they keep doing it.

Who are the Welsh pricks anyway?

Received a call from Zoe who works for the “company” who use 01792462095 and she said that my 02 contract expired within the next 30 days (A lie). I said that I was with Carphone warehouse and was put onto her manager who “explained” that I was with 02 and that Carphoen Warehouse had nothing to do with my phone. I was then returned to Zoe and she asked if I was interested in accepting her offer. I started to say that I would see what Carphone Warehouse had to offer, when she cut me off in my prime. “I am gutted”. Got this page from Carphone Warehouse Loyalty department!

Just have received a call from 08007838422 and they told they were from HSBC and the person on the phone was asking for some “verification” answers.
First request was to confirm my exact birth data which I did but the second question was if I have a withdrawal limit with HSBC so I decided not to answer and put the phone down.
I suspect this was not only a cold call but they wanted to get all my bank account and personal details out of me on the phone in a few minutes.
Do not volunteer any information!!!!

I received my first call from 02920368792 today. Luckily I had already looked at this web site as my husband had previously had trouble with these numbers. The thing is, today I also got a flyer from Phones4U with tariffs etc. I have an 18 month contract with 3 which still has a few months to go … but I am wondering if it’s not 3 that have sold my number on but if it is Phones4U?

I am already on the telephone preference list so if I do get a lot of these calls I will answer and say that, don’t know if it makes any difference by what others have said …….

Thank you for publishing these numbers. Just had a call from 02920368792 where no-one spoke and googled it before phoning back. The phone code is for the same town where my bf’s parents live so I was quite concerned at first.

Now I know not to answer calls from this number and others in future - thanks.

Hi there,

Appologies if you’ve already read this message - as it was returned to me immediately after I had sent it (using the Contact form)…

I’m trying to compile a list of cold-calling telephone numbers and provide a fully-searchable database (with stemming) to allow easy identification of known and possible cold-callers.

Would it be possible to integrate your list of numbers on to my site? I’d be extremely grateful as you’ve had plenty of comments advising on new numbers - it would provide a great service to people!

Thanks in advance
Mark

Vincent Lai wrote a comment on February 22, 2007

Hi Mark,

You are welcome to use the list of numbers on this site, however please note that i can only do my best to keep the list up to date with information provided but cannot guarantee they are all cold callers number. Please have a read on the Terms of Use of this website for more information.

If you agree, you are very welcome to use the list and I believe it will useful for many people, thank you.

Call them and INSIST their headset must be faulty, if we all do it they’ll be baffled. Also express great interest for as long as possible to make sure you waste as much time as you can with them.

Mark wrote a comment on February 22, 2007

Vincent,

Thank you very much - I appreciate that a lot. I understand they are all ‘as-is’ and unverified - and I am building in a ‘ranking’ to the numbers list so cold-callers who play nicely are only listed so people know who have phoned; and the ones who don’t play nicely are clearly listed as such. People will be given the ability to mark numbers that turn out to not be cold-callers as such - as I am going to allow people to have live feeds of the entire data-set from my site, in case they want to do things like supplying their phone systems with a set of blocked numbers.

Again - thank you - and I will certainly link to your site when I’ve had a chance to get a few bits and pieces together on the site, it’s just starting today!

Regards
Mark

Vincent Lai wrote a comment on February 22, 2007

Hi Mark,

I like your idea of being able to rank the numbers, look forward to see your new site :).

Bob wrote a comment on February 23, 2007

Googled the numbers (02920368792,02920368701) and found this site. Thank you very very much for the list. I’m on vodafone and the fact these idiots had someone’s name is scary.

I figure I’ll do one of two things record all the details and hopefully get them fined. Our use them for some stress releasing prank calls.

Once again thanks for the list! It’s still useful three and a half months on.

Thanks! Just received a call from 02920368792 and was about to call back. Thought I would google it first - I have just upgraded my phone, they are obviously trying to contact me before the 14 days is up to try to persuade me to change my contract! cheeky…

Also just had a call from 02920368792. I’m on O2 Pay as you go. I don’t think it is network or contract related, I think they just pick numbers at random and see if they can con who ever picks up the phone at the other end!

Mike wrote a comment on February 27, 2007

Just called by 02920368792 - got shirty when I told him I had until November on contract and hung up.

My Wife got a similar call last year and accepted the phone - when we tried to cancel the next day they wouldn’t give her a returns number and tried to charge her £80. It ended up going to trading standards and 3 said they wouldn’t deal with companies like this again - looks like they are, perhaps we should be having a go at them for not investigating their resellers methods.

I get these numbers occasionally,
just tell them its a company mobile and they hang up before youve even finished the sentence.
Mine is a company phone but they dont know that.

Jessica wrote a comment on February 28, 2007

I’ve had up to 3 calls a day for the past 10 days from 02920368792 or 02920368701. Tried answering one and it was just silence, so left the call connected just to run up their bill a bit, but still they keep calling and calling and it’s SO annoying.

Is there any way to block these numbers on a phone?

James wrote a comment on February 28, 2007

I’ve just been called by 02920368792, didn’t answer. I have just cancelled my contract with Vodafone with the intention of changing to PAYG. I’m very careful about ticking or not ticking the appropriate boxes to make sure i am not ok’ing anyone calling me, and i’m registered with the TPS. I can therefore only assume Vodafone passed on my details.

Simon wrote a comment on February 28, 2007

Right then! They have activated my wrath! I got the call from 02920 368792 and the hang up. I rang them back and asked who they were (mumbled reply). Told them the european Laws e.t.c. and not to call me again. HOWEVER. I get fed up with this so I have done some checking to try and get details of a company.

Using the 02920 368701number from Mr M on 21st Feb in this blog, I assumed that the two were related (they only differ on the last 2 digits). Google searching found a company called ‘Communications Direct Ltd.’ (exact spelling essential). They are based in Swansea at 33 HEATHFIELD, SWANSEA, SA1 6HD. Company No. 04806820. Furthermore, another search revealed that they have opened an office based at Floor 5
Dominions House, Dominions Arcade, Queen Street, Cardiff, CF5 1DU - Thus explaining the 02920 code. BEWARE there is also a Communications Direct (not Ltd) situated on the floor below. I will let you make conclusions.

They apparently use the TPS system but we seem to have experienced something different. I hope they find this blog and change it. In fact I encourage them to respond here.

The power of the internet and the satisfaction of finding stuff! Perhaps you may like to write to them expressing your views?!?

Bye y’all
Simon

Nicely done Simon!

I just had a call from 02920 368792. I picked up, not knowing who it was, and they hung up, ha, my voice might have scared them off, I was a little angry anyway.
These companies should realise that if their product is good enough, people will come to them first wanting it. This canvassing malarkey is just an annoying irritant that needs permanent eradication!!

Nigel wrote a comment on March 5, 2007

I also received a call from 02920 368792 today. Decided to Google the number and found your site - excellent idea Vincent.

The line went dead when I answered. Don’t think this caller is limiting to O2 or Vodafone services. I’m with T-Mobile PAYG service so looks like random number selecting.

About time the phone software designers included an option to allow users to block unwanted numbers being accepted. Would be very useful if your other respondents are having so many attempts to get through.

Swadge wrote a comment on March 6, 2007

I just got a call from 02920 368792 also. I’m Vodafone and originally got my Vodafone contract with Phones4U which I cancelled before moving to Vodafone. (This is prior to Vodafone buying/merging Phones4U).

Usually when you get a call from these numbers and get no one on the other end it means that they do not actually have any operators ready at their end as they are all busy dealing with other calls.

I believe there are motions in place to ban this type of calling as the frail and vulnerable often find this kind of calling highly disturbing and scary. I don’t know how far along this piece of law or regulation, whatever it may be is at the moment.

I would assume it is at an Ofcom level that it is being dealt with, although it may be at a parliamentary level. I’m not sure. I originally heard about this being tackled on BBC’s Watchdog a number of months ago. There maybe some information on their website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/watchdog/

Hi there, got a call yesterday and this morning that I missed due to being in lectures from 02920 368792. I got very confused because 029 is a Cardiff code and was going to call them to find out who they were, but I was suspicious because a friend of mine got scammed that way recently. So I typed it into Google and found this page, very pleased I didn’t call them back now! Thank you for this helpful page!

oh… by the way their probably getting your number from any adverts that you might have placed… i placed one on Gumtree with my mobile number and name… so a head start for these lot as they already know my name.

That solves the mystery of how they know who you are (not to mention how they got your number!).

As soon I typed the first 3 digits, Google automatically suggested the number I was looking for - amazing!
Then I find your info and everyone’s comments… great.
I have been receiving these unwanted calls for some time, even from companies claiming to be my network provider, and are not. No matter how many times I have requested no to be contacted again, they care less… I have now registered with TPS, also because OFCOM suggests is on its site. Hopefuly it will work… if not, these leeches should compensate and disappear!

PS wrote a comment on March 14, 2007

Had a call from 02920368701, claiming to be from 3 and asking whether i’d had an upgrade. When i asked them what company they were calling from they said 3, when i told them that was a trademark not a company and asked why they didn’t know i had had an upgrade they admitted they were from Communications Direct.

Surely some law against such blatant misrepresentation, hopefully TPS will work.

My elderly 93 year old mother in-law-keeps being pestered by 02920368710. Fortunately, these have been “missed” calls because she hasn’t heard the phone ring! But I’m worried that she will unwittingly sign up to something she doesn’t want or need. She’s with T-mobile PAYG. Where have they got her number from? It’s about time mobile users can block unwanted calls, just as you can block unwanted e-mail. Perhaps we should start a petition on the No. 10 Downing Street website to get the government to do something about these pests.

Can we all just reply to every call by saying something funny and random like ‘The monkey boy is coming to get you!’ or have a completely different conversation with them, pretending you think it’s one of your best mates. I registered my number to be removed from marketing lists and it worked for a few months but now it’s started again. If your phone can do it record the call and then post it on here… let’s see who can hurl the most abuse at them and record it!

I’ve been hounded by many of those numbers over time and thanks to research on Google have never had to deal with them as I’ve always learnt to avoid numbers I don’t recognise. Today I had a call from 02920368792, I Googled it and I spotted this site. From what I can tell the people who man these phones are cheeky f**kers and the company shoddy to say the least. As with anything, if you want it you get it, not wait for someone to offer it to you.

Incidentally, anyone reading this with a Nokia smartphone (if you’re not sure Google your model number
