Oddly enough, the pattern of calls from +441293208293 shows a consistent focus on arthritis, back pain and a so‑called “Niagara therapy” pitch, often delivered by an automated or accented voice. Callers claim you filled out a questionnaire you never recall, then pressure you to press keypad options to “verify” suspicious card activity. This is a classic scam that blends telemarketing tactics with false medical urgency, designed to harvest personal or payment details. If you receive such a call, let it ring out, avoid any keypad entry, and add the number to your block list. Report the incident to the Telephone Preference Service and, where fraud is suspected, to Action Fraud.
They keep ringing, saying my debit card has been used and I need to press a number, it's a nuisance, they call twice a day, I just hang up
Picked up the call, only to hear an automated voice say 'goodbye' and disconnect. Blocked the number to prevent further attempts, suspecting it was a test to see if my number is active.
Upon answering the call, there was a pause before an automated voice claimed that my Visa card had been used for suspicious transactions, including a £400 Amazon purchase and a £700 Western Union transfer. The voice prompted me to select options via the keypad, but I terminated the call
This morning I recieved a call from this number, they didnt leave a message on my answerphone, I reckon it's just another scam, dont pick up if you dont recognise the number, it's just common sence.
My mobile rang, but I didn’t answer. After reading the feedback here, I’m relieved I didn’t, as it seems to be a suspicious caller.
Repeated unwanted contact has been made by this number, causing me significant distress
This number appeared on my phone, but I chose not to answer it.
Identified as spam
The call said 'Crawley' on my mobile phone screen, a woman with a foreign accent kept asking me about my arthritis and backpain, I told her I didnt suffer from it
Unknown caller, so I didn't answer.
This individual attempts to extract information by discussing topics like back pain and medicine, and seems to be trying to obtain our mobile details, which appears to be a fraudulent activity.
From the diverse comments, it seems to be a call centre. Allegedly, I completed a survey stating I have back pain or arthritis. They’ve scheduled someone to demonstrate Niagara therapy tomorrow. I don’t recall ever mentioning such issues. At least the caller had an English accent and was comprehensible.
This number is unfamiliar to me but appears to be an HMRC scam, so I blocked it.

Claims of filled questionnaire regarding arthuritis
A man rang me about Niagara Therapy, talking about back pain and arthritis, I told him I wasnt interested, whats the point of the telephone preference service if they cant stop these scam calls?
Had a rather amusing conversation with a bloke who claimed I had arthritis, back pain and breathing problems, despite me feeling relativly fine til I answered the call from Crawley, he also mentioned Niagra therapy which initally sounded like Viagra!
