A man claimed he wasn’t selling anything, but I could barely hear him over blaring music.
Dodgy Survey Scam Alert!
Summary — +441555487223
Expert Opinion
Calls from this number often masquerade as legitimate inquiries, yet swiftly reveal suspicious tactics. Reports highlight a pattern of heavy accents, background noise, and demands for personal details like names, postcodes, or reading habits under guises of surveys or telecom checks. These are classic scam ploys to harvest data for identity theft or further harassment. Hang up immediately if they press for info or turn argumentative—never engage. Block the number via your phone settings and report to Action Fraud to curb such nuisances. Staying vigilant prevents these pests from wasting more time.

Recent Reports for 01555 487223
Flagged by my phone as suspected spam/telemarketer, I let it go to voicemail and received nothing, so I blocked the number.
Since the call was flagged as telemarketing and no message was left, it’s definitely a scam.
The call centre requested my name and postcode, felt like a scam and disconnected when I declined, and a nearly identical number rang yesterday.
They called, saying they weren’t selling anything but were conducting a household survey about newspaper reading. When I asked why, the caller became argumentative, so I hung up, assuming it was a scam to harvest personal details.
Another scam attempt: a woman with a heavy accent claimed to represent EE and ended the call when I showed disinterest. Action is needed against these operators.
