Expert Opinion

Unsolicited calls arriving before 9am on Saturday mornings disrupt weekends and raise suspicions, especially when no message is left and callers persist after hanging up. These incidents point to aggressive telemarketing tactics, often with accents masking origins and call centre noise in the background, aiming to switch phone providers through phishing ploys. Such approaches disregard the Telephone Preference Service, showing blatant law-breaking, and pose risks particularly to vulnerable elderly folk dependent on their landlines. To counter this, register with the TPS if not already, report every nuisance call by texting details to 7726 for swift action by Ofcom and authorities, and consider blocking the number while verifying any provider switch requests directly with your current supplier. Stay vigilant against these intrusive bids.

441135348996 Harassment Call Jeff (scam)

Received an unsolicited call on a Saturday morning. As I am registered with the TPS, this was a clear disregard for the law. The caller introduced himself as Jeff with a noticeable and barely understandable Indian accent. I believe he wanted me to switch phone providers, and I could hear the call centre background noise. This was an obvious scam and phishing attempt, which I find harassing and dangerous, especially for older individuals who rely on their phones.
